AEONE6SiOA dVOV0us
Before the secretaries announced the
result of the first ballot for secretary
the committee arrived with Gov. Nelson
and presented him to the chair, who
grasped the governors hand, saying to
the convention that the happiest thing
of his life was in the pleasure he ex-
perienced In presenting to the conven-
tion their choice for candidate for gov
ernor. The applause was deafening and
the cheers rang and echoed for full
minute and a half. When quiet ensued
Gov. Nelson said:
Your kindness in again nominating
me, unanimously and by acclamatlon.
your candidate for the high otflce of
governor, is greatly appreciated and is
dear to me. not SO much because 1t
tends to give me another term of Office,
as because to me ii is eli assurance that

uring the day, but failed to come to
The front. At the close of MIR. Towne's
aaddress there was a din of calls tor
Eustis that the mayor of Minneapo lis
could not resist. When he reached the
platform the convention nearly lifted
the roof OF the Auditorium with ap-
piause. When one has heard Eustis
speak he can understand the secret
OF his popularity in his party, for he
makes decidedly catchy talk from a
Republican standpoint.
"As we look to the east over the beau
tiful ocean," said he, 1--WE see a turmoil
In the water. the waters swelling aud
swelling. until by and by the mountain
of water breaks into the terrific white
caps. So. as we look over the political

Mr.. Eustis did not talk long, but while
he kept his feet he kept his hearers in
ali uprear of applause.

mittee's report.
Gov. Barto resumed the chair. and
with perspiring but smiling face said
that from the bottom of his heart he
thanked the convention for the honor.
COMMITTEE ON RULES.
Hon. j. A. Tawney made the report.
which he pretaced with stump speech
audatory of Tom Reed, presenting the
chairman with copy of the printed
book-"Reed's Rules" The committee,
said the chairman. recommend that the
con vention be governed by the rules Of
the Fifty.first congress, in so far as
they apply to its work: that all re Solu-
tions offered be read and sent to the
committee on resolutions; that after
reports of committees the conventi on
proceed to the nomiHation of candi-
dates for state Offices in the order
named In the call for the state conven-
ton; that where more than one candi-
date be placed before the convention,
the counties be called and the vote n
,nounced by the chairman of the casnty
delegation.
I, Eugene Hay moved to add to the re.
port that nomination speeches be lin-

substitute that there be no speeches

and created considerable merriment by
his peculiar way of presenting things.
He. of course. charged the stringent
times up to the Democratic adminstra-
tion, and avoided mentioning the fact
that the hard times began in the Har-
rison administration. Following is an
extract from his speech:
During one year previous to the last
presidential election / visited twenty
one states and was In very large num-
Der of the large cities of the
nation. do not recollect to have Wis.,

factories all running and the employees

same localities. and / have not seen
town of any size in which one or all the
factories were not closed, and the men
all out of employment or working at
greatly reduced wages. There is a dis.
trust and unrest everywhere. Now
what does all this mean? 1t is startling
contrast. am one of the class who
have right to say, i told you so.'
Laughter When the people of this
nation voted the affairs out of the hands
of the Republican party and turned
them over to the Democr attic party, a
party that never had much experience
in running things [laughter] l knew
what would follow; but l didn't think
it would come 80 quick. Laughter.1
President Cleveland has said that 1t is

that people are I'm trouble with an
abundance about them. He thought
that If the Sherman law was repealed

He then took up the tariff question
and discussed itai length. warmly sup

Delegates jumped up from various

vote. and the entire convention came to
its feet, cheering at the same time.

CALLED TO ORD ER.
Gov. Barto Made Chairman and
the Globe Speech Endorsed.

Gov. Barto Made Chairman and
the Globe Speech Indorsed.
At 10:45 yesterday morning Tams
BiXby, chairman of the state central
committee, raped the Republican state
convention to order at the Auditorium :.
He raped loud and long before the
hustle and the hum of voices were
quieted. At length quiet was gained,
and Mr.. BiXby read the formal call for
the convention. which enumerated the
candidates to be nominated. He read
also the proceedings of the meeting of
the state central committee, at which
the date for the convention was fixed,
he representation decided upon, and
various resolutions intended to arodse
Republican enthusiasm were adopted.
This comprised his speech opening the
event.
AS his voice died away Bob Evans, of
the Hennepin county delegation,
| jumped to his feet and launched into a
party-patriotic Grafton, the real purpose
of which was to nominate ex-Lieut
Gov. A. Barto for temporary chairman.
LAS look around over this conven-
| tion," said he, land see the great rep
| Presentation of representative Republic
canism here in the hot summer weather
| it is an unmistakable evidence to me
that we intend to stand by the Republi-
cln party; that we realize that the
guidance of the Republican party is the
best. We are here to serve the inter-
ests of the Republican party, and not
mere personal ends.
"Gentlemen of the convention, l have
he proud honor of placing in Domlna-
tion for temporary chairman of this
convention, that big-hearted. big
souled, big-brained Republican. the
Hon. A. Barto, of Sauk Center.
| [Cheers. l do this because l believe
that it is for the best interests of that
great party that is to sweep the state
this fall. We are all Republicans.
Whatever ambitions we may have are
unwise ambitions unless they are bound
up in the cause of the Republican party.
My name has beeu mentioned IN. con-
nection with the temporary chairman

as a mere matter of maintaining har-
mony, but because my heart is in it.
believe that the ticket we shall make in
this convention will sweep the state by
the biggest majority known in the
history of the Republican party
Chairman Bixby put the nomination
of Barto to vote, aud 1t was carried
unanimously.
THE GLOBE INDoRsED.
Gov. Barto left his delegation and
walked to the front, while the delegates
applauded. As he surveyed the big
convention and the we'll flied seats for
guests and visitors, he said that to be

fully as much the choice of the Nelson
men as Nate Kingsley. was elected tenn
porary chairman. John Goodnow, Tim
Byrnes and other leaders of the
HennepIn delegation had discov-
cred Tuesday afternoon that the
effort to elect Bob Evans. Wash
burns man, temporary chairman, was
doomed to defeat. They had felt the
pulse of the country delegations until
they discovered the situation unmistak-
ably. They proposed to yield with
the appearances of deprecating any
fight between the two factions.
1t was accordingly agreed that Bob
Evans should nominate Barto in
speech at the convention. OF course,
Evans would shape his words so as to
conceal to the utmost extent all appear
ance of hostility. He did not disappoint
expectations, and, in the meantime, he
did not neglect to make the Washburn
front appear AS generous as possible.
The convention was set to open at 10
o'clock. Half an hour before the time
the delegates began to move toward the
Auditorium, and by 10 o'clock the lower
floor Of the Auditorium was we'll filled.
AS usual several delegations were late
and the convention was not called to
order until 10:45.
The Auditorium was neatly decorated
with flags. shields and few palms and
flowers. in the front of the balcony
back of the chalrman's platform sat
Seibert's full band and orchestra. At
intervals the musical aggregation played
various beautiful selections.
The assemblage was a motley crowd.
Among them were many of the old
party deserters, who have time and
again been denounced by Republican
leaders as contemplate renegades, and
called various names of a despicable
character. Probably the most con-
spicuous figure of this class was
A. Arctander, member Of the
Eennepin delegation. Most peo-
people would suppose from the terrible
things said about Arctander by Repub-
licans that the party that makes 30 great
professions of principles would as soon
think of welcoming the devil into its
ranks as to accept Arctander. Bot
Arctander sat there all the same, and
the people who sat about seemed mighty
glad TO have him there, ana he won in
his efforts to defeat Judge GiIfillan.
The day was intensely hot, ans Until
near middle afternoon ..1ue assemblage
was ireited to s..mDsf exhaustion. But

of all the departments of government.
''fhe nation is looking to US; we are on
the advance In light marching order.
The Republican party has never lived
in graveyard; it rejoices In the light.
The history Of the party Is the history
Of the nation. The Democratic party,
whenever it does anything useful, patri-
otic and sensible, adopts Republican
lines and policies, even when it comes
to counting quorum. But. gentle
men" said the governor, 81 see that the
st. Paul GLOBE of this morning pub
lished the supposed speech of your
temporary chairman, aud, though l
have not read it. most of you no doubt
have, as l observe the enterprise of the
GLOBE has placed copy in all the
seats. therefore it would seem as IL at
this point should inquire the pleasure
of the convention, SO thatit may pro-
ceed to its business"
II. e. Kendall, of st. Louis county,
nominated Hon. Henry Feig for tenn
porarY secretary, II. }. Wascott, of St.
temporary secretary, and there being
no other nominations the election was
unanimous.
COMMITTEES ORDERED.
Ex-Gov. Merriam moved the appoint
ment of committee upon resolutions to
be composed of one delegate from each
judicial district, forming committee OF
sixteen members.
Hon. Eugene Hay suggested COM
mittee upon credentials be chosen in
the same manner. At the suggestion of
the chair he supplemented Gov. Mer-
riam's motion for the choice of commit
talc ant
organization, the selection to be made
by the judicial districts. This PROPOSE
tion brought out protests. DR.. Gibbs
thought choosing byiudicial districts was
bad form; some of the districts had 200,-
600 and some only handful. He
thought the chair should appoint. Mr..
Hay spoke again. Mr.. Tawney pro-
posed that there be committee of hve
upon rules. A motion to lay upon the
table being made Mr.. Hay withdrew
his proposition and Gov. Merriam
came forward with revised version"
that the chair appoint four committees
upon resolutions, upon credentials, upon
permanent organization, one member
from each judicial district and COM
mittee of five upon rules. The cOnvens
tion adopted the plan.
John Goodnow. of Hennepin. moved
that all the resolutions be referred to
the committee on resolutions unread.
After some kicking the motion pre-
vailed.
WINDMILLS RUNNING.
When the GoodnoW motion finally
prevailed, Chairman Barto hit upon
plan to entertain the assemblage while
he was engaged in selecting the various
committees. He said that he had
found man present who could do
good deal better talking than he could
That gentleman was one who had won
a national reputation both in congress
and in many hard-fougnt battle on
the stump. He was a gentleman of
the truest Republican type, ,and one who
was not unknown to the Republicans
of Minnesota, The gentleman was the
Hon. Roswell 6. Horr. of Michigan. ex-
member of congress. AS Mr.. Horr was
introduced and was about to begin a
speech, Mr.. Barto called eX-Lieut. Gov.
Yale, Of Winoua, TO the chair, and then
slipped away to his work of making up
the committees.
Mr.. Horr spoke for nearly an hour.

LIEUT.. GOV. CLoUGH.
Mayor Eustis was the next to take the
floor. He arose to move that Hon. David
NJ. Clough be nominated by acclamation
for reelection as lieutenant governor.
The nomination was made as moved.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
The next business in order was the
nomination of candidate for secretary
of state.
s. P. Childs, of Faribault county,
arose and placed F. P. Brown, the pres
ent incumbent, in nomination. He said
that the nomination was not asked as a
matter OF right; 1t was placed on the
ground that Mr.. Brown has made an
excellent officer.
Mr.. Gail, of Chisago, nominated Al
tert Berg. He said:
"Chisago county Is the banner Re-
publican county of the state. 1t has been
60 tor thirty years. Two years ago was
the first time We ever asked anything.
We then offered Albert Berg for secre-
tary of state. We were defeated, and

and oppressed. But 1t is important that

Col. West withdrew the name of Os-
