The adoption of the list of delegates
was followed with motion authorizing
those present ut the convention to cast
the seventy-four votes or to fill the
vacancies.
w. S. Reed, OF the Tenth ward, took
the floor, and made q red-hOt speech for
clean-cut Peoples party. He hoped
that the delegation would not 60 to the
convention to pe "monkeyed" and
fooled aud humbugged 'by lot of
damnable fools" as the Peoples party
was in the spring campaign In st. Paul.
Neither did he want any mixing In Of
labor organizations. He was for the
Peoples party straight and that party
only.
Judge Mcdonald said that the call for
the convention contemplated the noms
ination Of county ticket. He regarded
such action premature, and. therefore.
moved that the nomination he postponed
until into the fall and left with the
county committee to call q convention
to name such ticket. Adopted.
NJ. r. Prendergast moved that
county committee be named by the del.
egateS, one from each ward. The mo.
ton prevailed, and the wards being
called the following were named:
First ward, S. Z. Rosenquist; Second
ward, c. D. Smith; Third ward. James
White; Fourth ward. II. w. BENNETT;
Fifth ward. j. NJ. O'Grady; Sixth ward,
5. r. Rasmussen; Seventh ward. Hcz-
ekiah Hall; Eighth ward. II. A. Wall
raft; Ninth ward. c. P. Tinney; Tenth
ward, w. S. Reed; Eleventh ward;
George Weisner.
Judge Mcdonald moved that the
chairman of the convention. Mr.. Clark,
De added to the committee as its chair
man. Mr.. Clark was reluctant to agree
to the labor of the position. Mcdonald,
however. put the question on his mo-
ton, and Mr.. Clark was elected, after
which he said he accepted the honor
without consentiug. Next, a motion
was adopted for the appointment of
thirteenth member Of the committee
(unlucky number) TO represent the
country towns.
The convention authorized the state
delegation to choose congressional dele
gates and cooperate with the other
counties of tin district in regard to the
time and place of holding the conven-
tion. The delegates were. by order OF
the convention, instructed to meet at
8 a. H., Tuesday, at the Ryan hotel to
proceed In body to Minneapolis moth
ing was said about Il brass band).
AT this point motion to adjourn was
made, but was withdrawn to hear the
following resolution offered by G. P.
Tenney, chairman Ninth ward delega-
ton:
Resolved, That we indorse the action
taken by the A. K. u. In support of the
Pullman strike, and that we will give
them all the lawful support that lies in
our power.
This had the effect of firebrand, and
the chair had difficulty in preserving
order as the advocates and opponents of
the policy OF an expression upon the
subject wrangled.
Mr.. Walrath, of the Eighth, offered
the following substitute for the resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That while we sympathize
with tine A. R. U. in its struggle
with organized monopoly, which seeks
to reduce American wOrklngmen to a
system of wage slavery verse than
cuattel slavery, we deplore the means
i'll this fight. This is battle in which
all the people are interested, and must
be fought out in a legal, constitutional
manner. An Intelligent use of the
ballot is the only remedy of labor, and
the sooner labor realizes this the better
for them and society. Strikes and
dies at best, and while they
may he justified in our present state of
industrial society they should be re-
garded as temporary eXpedients only.
The Peoples party advocates the pub
lie ownership Of railroads, so that JUS
tice may be done, but we insist that we
wish to acquire them by purchase, pay
ing a fair price for them. We cannot
countenance intimidation and violence.
"A number of delegates sprang TO their
feet at The same moment to denounce
the substitute as an attack upon A. r.
U. Condem ming 1t as a verdict upon it
that no court had pronounced. After
the confusion quieted somewhat Wall
rath defended his substitute in warm
speech. which brought out from Judge
Mcdonald the declaration that he would
be ashamed to belong to the Peoples
party If the substitute could bt adopted.
1t was placing brand on the A. r. u.
unjustifiably. He scored Pullman and
defended the strikers with great vehem-
ence. Wallrath retorted that he might
be howled down, he might be excluded
from the Peoples party, but he stood
by his sentiments, aud no party could
exist and be respected which gave sup
port to intimidation and violence. Be-
tween excited defamation and calls for
question an hour was consumed before
vote was reached, when the substitute
was rejected and the first resolution
adopted. Just as the Sabbath hour was
chimed the convention adjourned.
