Northfield, who was seeking to lead
| the lost tribes away from the shoal
| water and dead fish of Duluth,
suggested that the Sixth district was
| fit only for forestry and mines
| The Duluth delegation went into the
air as though animated by a heavy
| charge of giant powder, and when it
came down. Mr.. Moses, and the candi-
dacy of Senator ice Roach, whom he
was championing,, both looked as
though they had been in close com
mun1on with the working parts Of

IL De SAID that the term of J. j. Furlong,
oI the board OF managers, expired yes
terday. He wanted to be reelected. but
ne saw that it was not in the cards so
ne quietly laid down his hand and
passed his cards to Henry Burkett. of
ms own county, Mower, who, he told
the convention, was a good fellow and
ought to be pushed. C. P. Goodrich of
Dodge county, was nominated by Mr..
1endrlckson, and an elderly gentleman
VINO sat on the right hand of S. NJ. Owen
suggested that Joe Roach ought, in fair
play, to have the place.
1t was just at this point that the
DeardleSS young man who threw a
$4,000 job in the face of President
Cleveland arose in the far corner of
the meeting, and, stated that he was
from Carlton county, but that he was
taxing some interest in the promotion
OF that modest municipality. Duluth.

there were in the Sixth congressional
district, and suggested that, as they
had no representative on the board of
managers. it was but right that they
should have this place. He believed.

ankle. or course, the Duluth delega-
Con was like unto a handful of Beers
amidst the hosts of the British. and
II they couldn't get what they wanted.
they would have to take what thew
could get They appealed to the Mon
roe doctrine, but without going into
any details about it, MIR. Bede changed
the topic to that of immigration, say
ing that all the immigrants would have
TO settle in the northern part of the
state anyway. En- PEASANT, he paid
a graceful compliment to the second
wee president, d. r. McGinnis, stating
tnat while he had heard some preju-
dice expressed by the farmers, he felt
no hesitation in saying that Mr.. Nc
Glnnls had done as much to increase
the population of Minnesota as any
man in it. The Sixth district was the
greatest in the state He wished the
members of the society could come I'D
to that part of the state where God
had planted the crops and they were
being harvested with steam shoyels.
He nominated Jerome E. Cooley, Of
Duluth. Mr. Bede's speech was greet
ed with generous applause, but the CO.
laborerS from st. Louis county knew
that applause did not count as much
as votes, and as some of the delegates
from the southern part of the state
wanted to take the 4:1O train, they
talked until All. DR.. G. A KELSEY of
Brook Park farm, near Hinckley, and
Mr.. Potter, of Aitkin, were the chief
filibuSters
1t was at the close of Mr. Potter's
address that Mr. Moses, in seconding
Mr.. Roach's nomination, made the re-
mark about the Sixth district which
stirred Duluthans to a frenzy
DR.. Kelsey started to speak in reply.
with disguise of good nature, but
before he sat down he had said that
the man who spoke against the agri-
cultural resources Of any part of the
state was ignoble and an enemy of
the state at large. 1t was time to rel
egate to the dim and misty past the
cFOaheFS ana IauIth HnQerS. Who could
not see out of their own charmed cir
Gle.
Mr.. Larsen, of Duluth, had hitherto
kept quiet, as he was out of the race
but he could not refrain from remark
ing, in an easily audible tone that the
man who spoke of the Sixth district
that way only showed his ignorance
and ought to hang his head in shame
Mr.. Potter called Mr.. Moses attention
to the fact that his county, Aitl1in, had
$500 exhibit at the last fair, and that
the first prize for an agricultural ex-
hibit went to one of the counties of the
Sixth district.
Mr.. Moses, evidently misunderstand-
ing, rejoined that, perhaps that was
why it cost $500.
That made the people from the Sixth
| hotter than ever; and, in fact, had the
effect of solidifying the whole state
| north Of the Twin Cities in favor OF
Duluth's candidate, although Mr..
Moses tried to explain that his refer
ences to the district were meant that it
was adapted FOR mining and forestry
more than for agriculture
Mr.. Larsen, for Duluth, refused to &C.
cept the apology, stating that Mr.. Moses
had only added to his former sin, and
that he would be willing to pay his fare
tc that part of the state and back lust
to enl:gilten him as to the resources Of
