Hennepin County Selects Its Dele
gates to the State Convention.
The scene in the North Side Tur-
ner hall yesterday for an hour before
the Hennepin county Republican con-
vention was called to order was a most
animated one, the rivalry for the chair
manship keeping things at fever heat.
| on the floor the names Of w. P. Rob-
erts and c. S. Cairns were most fire.
quently heard with preponderance Of
buzzing in favor of the former. All
Of the we'll known party leaders were
on hand early and the workers in all
departments filled every nook and cor
ner.
E. NJ. Johnson called the convention
to order at II o'clock When order pre-
vailed, Secretary MacMullen read the
call. The delay in seating the delegates
induced Mr.. Johnson to forego his
speech, and aftel briefly stating the
work to be done, he said the first bust
ness in order was the selection of a
temporary chairman. w. P. Roberts
was elected chairman of the convention
by a viva voce vote, and c. F. E. Pet
! erson was elected secretary, after which
the committee on credentials was re-
quested to get to work. AL J. Smith
moved that a committee consisting of
one from each ward and three from
the country be appointed. This was
changed to four from the city and one
from the country, and was as follows:
George Savage, country; Al J. Smith,
II. NJ. Farnham, E. e. Chatf1eid and
w. G.. Nye. The committee found but
one break, and that in the Fifth dis
trict of the Ninth ward. The following
gentlemen we're found eligible to seats
in the convention: Alex Gable, J. c.
Young, w. S. Briggs
While the committee was at work the
orators were kept busy. Stirring
speeches calculated to whet the edge
of enthusiasm and swamp the conven-
ton in one triumphal Mckinley wave
were delivered by well-known speakers.
among whom was NJ. j. Bowling, sec
rotary of the National League of Re-
publican clubs. The mention of Nc
Kinley's name was each time the signal
for loud applause. and Judge Tor
rance clinched the matter Of the con-
vention's choice by Offering a resolu-
ton which provided that the Repub-
licans Of Hennepin county express their
preference for William Mckinley for
president Of the United States, and that
the delegates to be chosen use all hon
orable means for his election. 81 move
this by rising VOTE cried the Judge.
The convention arose as one man,
and if any remained seated they were
lost to view in the host that stood up
amid enthusiastic cheers.
Louis Gillette then offered a resolu-
ton that the convention resolve itself
into fourteen caucuses, one to be COM
posed of the delegates from the towns
and villages outside of Minneapolis.
and the other thirteen of delegates of
the different wards of the city, the
caucuses to report to the convention
nominations for delegates to the state
convention.
A row was precipitated by this Mr..
Cairns moved that the election be by
ballot in each ward. A P Robbins
seconded the plan. Cairns subsequent
ly withdrew his motion, and a motion
was then made TO lay Mr. Gillette's mo-
ton on the table. Cries for the gentle
men who were candidates for dele
gates-at-large followed, and amid con-
siderable confusion vote was taken on
the motion to table the Gillette resolu-
ton. The chair declared the resolu-
ton not tabled. In the melee. DR.. Zier
moved the previous question, but as his
motion did not receive a second. it did
not prevail.

the several wards, towns and Villages
