PERRY CARSON'S LIVELY MEETING
Campaign for Delegate Becomes
More Exciting Than Ever.
ONE OF ALLEY MEN

The little hall at 93S N street was literal
ly packed last evening by colored men ia
voring the selection of Mr.. Perry Carson as
a delegate to st. Louis. The hall held two
or three hundred, and there was but one
dissenting voice. That was possessed by
Charles Hatton. young man who was
said to have been sent to the meeting by
the Bailey men to break it up. While Mr..
Hatton failed to accomplish his alleged
mission, he did have the courage to lift up
his voice in the house of his enemies and
inquire of Mr.. Carson, What in de name
of Gawd, Perry, has you done for us?" For
a moment the audacious inquiry seemingly
paralyzed the crowd, and then, when they
had recovered from their establishment,
they moved upon Mr.. Hatton as if they
would dissect him then and there Mr..
Carson stopped that business, however re-
marking that Mr.. Hatton should be allow
ed to proceed, and that he would attend 20
him. Mr.. Carson also asked the newspaper
men to take the name of Mr.. Hatton, so
that he could collect his money from Mr..

CREASING.

CLAPP MEN, HOWEVER, CLAIM THE
REPORTS SENT IN ARE
PREJUDICED.
THEY STILL HOPE FOR SUCCESS
Personal Preferences They Say Will
Cut Large Figure in the
Result.

In the Republican contest for the gu
bernatorial nomination, Gov. Clough is
ahead up to date. OF the twenty or
more counties which have reported
their delegates, the present governor
has good majority, on the face Of the
returns, materially strengthened by
twenty-six votes from Goodhue county,
as the result of yesterdays convention.
Clapp men. at least, claim that the
reports sent in are prejudiced and do
not represent the actual sentiments of
the delegations. They assert that when
1t comes to voting in the convention,
the personal preferences of the dele
gates will outweigh the instructions OF
the county conventions. For instance,
the anti-Clough men assert that st.
Louis, Morrison, Mower, and at least
three other counties which are already
credited to Gov. Clough will be badly
divided, If they are not absolutely hos
tile Clapp's friends say that they base
their assertions on private advices, and
they seem to think that If Clough can
not land the nomination on the first
ballot he will not secure it at all.
Tams Bixby and Ramsey county
Clough men assert emphatlcally that
If they cannot win on the first ballot
they do not want to win at all. These
gentlemen seem to have good ground
for their assertions, because only three
out Of the twenty-five counties which
have yet voted decisively are clearly
for Clough, unless all reports are
wrong The anti Clough people assert,
too, that the governor will carry Ram
sey and Hennepin. If he does he will
be renominated. If he doesn't. he will
be defeated.

GR1DLEY RAISED A STORM.
Duluth Democrat Had Advice to @gs
Away to AItgeId.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, June M.-With a
divided Democracy on the silver ques-
ton, boiling congressman In the Re
publican party and a very much mixed
up and antagonistic sentiment through
out the city and county, politics in
Duluth are as warm as they make
them, and the coming campaign is
filed with possibilities Of scrap" de-
lightful to the pugnacious senses of
old war horses. A few days ago E. c..
Gridley, a local free silver Democrat,
sent letter to Gov. Altgeld suggest
ing that the free silver forces hold
aloof from the Chicago convention,
allow the party to declare for gold,
and then combine at ST. Louis on a
renegade candidate for president. Mr..
Gridley assumed to pledge the support
of the Democracy Of this district to
such move.
Naturally enough his action has
aroused a storm of Indignation. Local
Democrats protest strongly against
Mr. Gridley's presumption in represent
ing the party and, one of the most
prominent men connected with the 10
cal party organization has mailed a
letter to Gov. Altgeld in which he says:
Mr.. Gridley is not leader in the Demo
cratic party of our city or state. On the
contrary, his allegiance TO parry principle
has been viewed with suspicion for four
years last past. The Democrats OF Duluth
are in favor of free coinage Of silver and
gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, as expressed in
their resolutions unanimously adoptcI at tncir
late county convention
Eight at least of the Minnesota delegation
of eighteen to the national convention will
work and vote for Democratic Demo
cratic underlined candidate who is in favor
Of free coinage.
quality which will hardly keep over night
unless put in cool place, speaks only lor
himself. Not another Democrat in the state
shares In his gauzy dreams. The Democ-
racy of Minnesota believes that at Chicago,
July T. will be nominated the next president
Of the United States, and that the party will
not have to go outside the members Of its
own convention to find half-doZen can.i-
dates of whose fitness there can be no ques-
tion doubt.
For my own part, my judgment is that
Horace Boies would command the support
Of the largest number of voters on cleo
tion day."
Mr.. Gridley raised a muss two years
ago by roasting Congressman Baldwin
for his action in voting for the re-
moval of the tariff on iron ore. SO his
Democracy has been seriously ques-
toned ever since.
