equality. She closed her address by
reference to the chlvalry OF the knights OF

in 1894 in North Dakota.
Nominations for railroad commission
ers were then made. Messrs. G. H.
Keyes Of Dickey county, J. j. Wamberg
Of Steele county, and J. W. Currie Of
Stark county being put in nomination.
Attorney Simpson of Stark urged that
the coal district IN the state be repre-.
seDted in the board by Mr.. Currie.
Ward county also having coal interests
seconded the nomination, Colonel Plum
mer saying the Office was utterly useless
and all the commissioners did was to
ride on passes and draw salary, but he
favored giving the gentleman named
from Stark the sinecures like the other
republicans selected, and all were nom-
mated amid loud laughter.
At this point George E. Nichols in a
brief speech expressed his thanks and
said he was proud to be a republican end
stood on the platform all the time.
Hurley said, Lets give three cheers for
the best speech in the convention"
SUPREME JUDGE.
Judge Lauder took all the interest out
of this domination by withdrawing in
favor of Judge Bartholomew, who was
Damed by acclamation after second by
Hughes of Burleigh. The nominee
thanked his friends for their fidelity and
the convention. Judge Bartholomew
was loudly applauded and evidently
much in earnest in his remarks.

convention adjourned.
CONVENTION NOTES.
Harry Desem of LaNonre, is here as
delegate. He says be and a lot Of La
Moure republicans believe in the free
coinage OF American silver, and he is
going to try and get the convention to
do something with it.
Ernie Sanford. son of E. M. Sanford.
is doing the convention for the Mime
apolis Tribune, and as usual is on the
inside Of all the leading news.
The "boys" find no trouble in getting
soft and bard this side the Red. All are
scared OF microbe water, and take theirs
through straw or straight to be on the
safe side.
Col. Plummer is about half populist
and says the rankness of the proposed
states makes him want to arise and get
off red hot speech of protest and tell
the convention that the cranks OF today
will be patriots of tomorrow.
The Devils Lake and Ramsey county
crowd are solid for Cowen whom they
say is good man for attorney general.
Jud LaMoure has declared that his
endorsement at the hands OF his own
county is sufficient recognition for him.
He says the best men of the county are
with him, and republicans too, who be-
lleved he had been i'll treated by the
state committee. He bought load Of
hay for Grant Hager OF st. Thomas, his
chief opponent, and said on the occasion
that he thought Hager did know enough
to eat hay. This made the people laugh.
Jud's methods of political warfare are
various and unexpected. and the old
chiefs heart beats loud in moments OF
triumph over the foe.
No one really wants Allin for governor
nor johnson for congress, but the con-
vention has not the moral nerve or the
material to suggest other names for
those important places.
Delegate Blackwell of Adrian. La
Moure county, IS new man to the
county, an educated gentleman farming
on the prairies. He went to the conven
tion because elected and rather to the
surprise of several who thought that
there might be a proxy in Blackwell.
He is good republican, but has pre-
gressive tendencies.
E. ". Camp is given credit for insist
ing on liberal silver plank in the CON-
mittee, and his efforts to get the conven-
tion to take mp live issues, are said to
have been the means of postponing the
session tonight until tomorrow, which is
expected to help the chances OF Barthoi
omew for judge.
