Van Woert Of Guide Rock wanted the
convention to select delegates one way
and some other fellow another. He was
loudly applauded.
Quite q little discussion took place
over the fact that some Of the fellows
wanted a pledged delegation for South.
erland for congress.
Michael Finkenbinder solemnly aross
in his seat and, with extended index tin
ger, a. nounced, in a stent0risn voice, to
erase his name from the list. The sec.
secretary did his duty. Business then
proceeded, with about sixteen speeches
on the sutpe ct. some pledging and some
refusing.
At about this time, big Horse" Rich
mond wished to 'elucidate," and moved
that the delegation be instructed for
DIR. Damere.l AS delegate to st. Louis.
Thus was it done unto the doctor.
Jacob Kindscher held Il position as
delegate. having returned to the fold ON
probation.
Captain Houchin here arose and ap-
nounced that he wouldn't vote for any
one but "A pop unless some new party
started that lie hadn't ioined),
