the fact that Henry Johns, the lawyer
politician of st. Paul, went up with the
delegation and put in the day with
them. He was introduced around by
Judge McCafferty as convert to De-
mOcracy, and took gOod-naturedly the
thrusts made in playful way. He was
even prevailed upon to take the floor
while the convention was waiting for
Its nominee to address the convention.
Mr.. Johns persisted In his Republican
MIR. Darragh was bright young man
and would make q good race, although
he could not support him.

mandolins. and Lachatelle, guitar. The

Many of the delegates found time to
boat-ride and fish while waiting for the
