there were no long waits between

johnson, secretary of the congressional

and most of the delegates repaired TO
the Sawyer house to Quench their thirst
and partake of genuine Saltwater hospl-
tality.
At O'clock the delegates got together
again. and the regulation Republican
barbecue began.
F. W. Zollmap, loaded with a speech,
gave Tom Reed send-eff by reporting
the czar's rules to govern the conven.
ton. and the applause that followed
indicated that Mckinley has no cinch
OH Minnesota for 1896.
There were no contests. and to save
time the published list Of the delegates
was accepted as entitled to seats in the
convention, there being LOG delegates
and proxies.
Nominations for candidate for con.
gress being called for, E. Il.
Rogers Took the Platform
and delivered himself of fulsome ora
torieal attempt. in which he lauded
Congressman Kiefer and referred TO the
substantial things he had accomplished
for the district and st. Paul In par.
ticular. lie went into national matters,
and took occasion to administer roast
to the late congress. and incidentally
referred to the Democratic candidate
for congress as a young man of more
than ordinary ability. g :
The reception accorded Rogers clearly
indicated that there were many i'll the
convention who woald like to seeehim
bearing the party standard in eds:
trict instead of leading the foriorn hope
heading the Republican county ticket
in Democratic Ramsey.
Fred Stevens seconded the nomina-
ton. and paid his respects particularly
to the Populists, whom he ripped up
the back. W
"Fusion or no fusion" said the chief
organizer of the new Tammany county
organization. "Col. Kiefsr. by the splen-.
did record he has made, will be returned
by larger majority than he received
in 1892" He referred to the anomalous.
position the Democrats would be in il.
they surrendered their principles, and.
rather courted the fusion idea in stlie
district.
Maj. John Espy, who tried to table a
resolution indorsing Col. Kiefer inihe,
county convention, made point by
complmenting Ed Durant, proprietor
of the opera house for the liberal dis.
play Of the American flag.
Senator Sabin, who has an eye to the
defeat of Washburn, did not wait to be
asked twice 10 speak. He said that
Kiefer's canal scheme was a modern
possibility, and that everybody would
ITO well to prepare to take sail from
Lake Superior to the gulf before 1900
dawned. 40 80
