Lieut.. Gov. Frank A. Day, who is
also president of the Republican state
senate, but who left the party tenn.
porarily, as he says, about month
ago, was Monday nominated fol
congress by the Democrats of the
Second congressional district. Gen.
Pope, who as Democrat. had aspira-
tions for the nomination, presented
Days name to the convention, and the
nomination was made unanimously
and with acclamations of glee. The
st. Louis platform was also endorsed,
anarchy planks and all, and the great
er part of the delegates went wild
over free silver

forwards that the convention made a
mastake in not putting up a Demo.

Day has said that he would accept
the nomination, and has assurances
that the Populists will endorse him.

tion. He was frequently introduced
as "the next governor" Mr.. Lind
would, without doubt, have been
nominated for congress today had he
not been in such demand for governor.
1t was the plan of the Second district
free silverites to make him their can
didate until he became the practical
candidate for Gov. Clough's chair, and
for time the Second district people
were at sea. Various names were
talked of until week ago Lieut.. Gov.
Frank A. Day,of Fairmont, consented
to accept the nomination, having had
assurances that the Populists would
endorse him and that he could thus
unite all of the incongruous forces Of
the district who are opposed to Con-
gresham McCleary on the single issue
of finance and disagree among them
selves on all other subjects. Just
how far he will be able to hold his
wild team in hand remains to be seen.
During the morning. it was report
ed that Gen. Pope's name would not
be presented to the convention but
that he would come the Somerville
act and nominate Mr.. Day.

No delegates appeared from the
counties of Chippewa. Lac qui Parle.
Lincoln and Yellow Medicine. The
attendance at the convention was
light, not over sixty being present,
while 115 were entitled to seats.
w. S. Hammond said that matter
was under consideration and asked
that each county appoint one dele
gate to meet with the congressional
committee at The Saulpaugh at one
o'clock.
Mr. Matthews asked for an explana-
tion of the object Of the meeting.
Others seconded this, but Mr.. Ham.
mond said that it was not thought adj
visable to bring the matter into the
convention. Certain questions ought
to be considered so that acrimony may
not occur in the discussions on the
floor. Fusion, the feeling in the
counties, ETC., are to be considered.
1t was not intended to limit debate.
This was the principal object, but
there was another purpose. The
speaker limited that this was a ques'
tion of finance.

BEFORE THE BATTLE.
The Day Forces were Early on the
Ground.

The Day forces were the first on the
ground for the Democratic con-
gressional convention, the first con-
tingent arriving Saturday evening.
j. T. Swearingen, of Fairmont,
opened Day headquarters in parlor
&C." of The Saulpaugh. Partial or
complete delegations from several
counties arrived during the evening,
and the lobby of the big hotel had
more than the usual animation. Every
train during Sunday and this fore
noon brought additional delegates,
and the talk was all for Day. 1t was
known that he would accept the nom
ination, and that was enough.
Some of the delegates expressed a
preference for Democrat, and
Gen. Pope's name was the only one
talked of. The opinion was freely
expressed, however, that the strong
est man of the two should be named,
and the Day leaders gave it out that
their man was the strongest with the
Populists. The report gained circu-
lation that Gen. Pope conceded this
fact and was in favor of Days nomi-
nation, and the tide then set strongly
toward Day. Last night it was con-
ceded that Day would be the nominee
of the convention, and this morning
the general belief of the delegates
was that no other name would come
before the convention.
Mr.. Swearingen came as Mr.. Days
personal representative and was
known to be the only man in per-
sonal communication with him. He
was therefore a prominent figure at
the hotel, and what he said went.
Hon. John Lind passed the Sabbath
day at The Saulpaugh, on his return
to New Ulm from St. Paul, and was a
subject of much interest and atten-

THE CONFERENCE.
Where the Real Work of the Con-
Vention Was Done.

The following is the committee
that met in conference with the con
gressional committee at one o'clock
Blue Earth, II. Jorgenson; Brown
Chas. Berg; cottonwood, Wilson Borst
Faribault, S. Pfeffer; Jackson, James
Manning; Lyon, M. E. Mathews
Martin, T. Brady; Murray, VIM
O'Neill; Nicollet, Geo. II. Rinkel; No
bles, John S. Blair; Pipestone, VIM
McGillivary; Redwood, G. E. Lam
berton; Rock, D. G. Brownell; Walton
wan, W. S. Hammond.
The committee held the meeting &C.
cording to call, and the relative
strength of Frank A. Day and Gen
Pope was discussed. and the senti.
ment was all in favor of Day. The
statement was made as coming from
L. G. Long, of Mobiles county, that
the Populists would endorse Day but
that they would not endorse Pope.
This put quietus on the Pope cam.
paign, and it was arranged that &c
other name than Days should be pre-.
scented. Gen. Pope offered to nomi'
nate Day, and it was agreed that W.
S. Hammond. of St. James, and j. S.
Blair of Worthington, should second
the nomination.
A canvass of the situation was
made and it was found that in
case of a fight, Pope would
have ten of the eighteen votes of Blue
Earth county, and G. L. Long would
have the ten votes of Mobiles and
Pipestone county. Day would have
the rest, and it was decided that it
would be best to have no fight.
