l1opOoIaOl FlllSbOl.y.s LIE QeleSaI6S VS.
tied Princeton last Thursday and
placed a strong ticket in nomination.
The delegates from the outside coun-
ties arrived on the $50 train and spent
the forenoon looking over the town
and hobnobbing at the Commercial
hotel. Landlord N bert prepared an
early dinner for them, this being
necessary on account of the hour at
which the convention had been called.
Everyone who partook Of his bounty
congratulated the proprietor upon the.
excellent menu and service given
them.
As soon as possible after the meal,
the delegates gathered at Jesmer's
opera house and the convention was
called to order. John Wait, of Todd
county was the unanimous choice Of
the convention for temporary chair
man mar and he was elected by acclama-
ton, as was A. w. Swanson, of Nor
rison, the temporary secretary.
Mr.. Wait informed the convention.
that it had met to do business and
therefore he would not make a speech.
but wished to thank the delegates for.
the honor they had conferred upon.
him. He called attention toSthe first
business of the convention, the choos-
ing OF a committee on credentials, and
upon motion the chair appointed a
com mittee OF three consisting of I. W.
Bouck, of Morrison, r. Bracken, of
Todd, and A. i. Hoffman, of Grow
Wing.
When the committee came to the
credentials of Mile Laos county they
found a contest between the Mallette
and Head forces. The ground of the
contest was that the delegates from
Greenbush had been allowed seats in
the county convention although the
Chairman Of the caucus had not signed
their credentials. The Head forces
had rae enough delegates so that they
could afford to be generous and told
the committee it might count the
Greenbush delegates as favorable to
Mallette. This put an end to the con-
testsand the Head men were seated.
+ The committee on credentials re-
ported the following delegates entitled
to seats in the convention:

a single voice raised in opposition to
