of Minnesota In
State Convention at the
Capital City.
Head of the Ticket and Several
Minor Officers Certain to
Be Renamed.
Fight on Lieutenant Governor
and Attorney General
Unsettled.

ST. PAUL, July 1.-Of the 1857 dele
gates to the Republican state conven.
ton the large majority were in their
seats in the big Auditorium in this city
when Tams Bixby, chairman of the
state committee, called the convention
to order little past the noon hour. In
the abserce of Harris Richardson, the
secretary of the committee, the call was
read by MIR. Bixby and temporary Or
ganization effected at once. Commit
tees were appointed OH resolutions, Gre
dentials and rules and organization and
a recess taken for dinner and to allow
time for the committees to transact
such business as was before them
After the recess work on the state
ticket was begun and viii be pushed
rapidly.
Cloush VIII Re Renominatcd.
During the morning hours the dele.
gates continued the work OF the night
before the convention, which consisted
of talk about candidates and caucusing
and canvassing the strength of the diff
ferent men. For several days it had
been apparent that the head OF the
ticket would be the present governor,
and everybody conceded that David NJ
Clough would succeed himself. How
ever, the friends of the governor were
as hard at work as if they were still un-
certain of the result, and the Clough
headquarters last night had workers
present in force. The most of the work
was DONE however, about the hotel lob
bies, and there was where the button
holiDg of delegates went on at lively
rate, The other candidates for COVER
nor were seldom seen
The Night Before the Battle,
Mr.. Clapp being the only one to be
found in the hotel lobby. They had all
given up the fight, although still being
nominally candidates. One of them.
John L. Gibbs Of Freedom county, gave
up the fight yesterday and has been
reaping the reward since, as his was the
only name mentioned for lieutenant
governor during the last 10 or 20 hours
before the convention was called to or.
der. The nomination Of Mr.. Gibbs was
apparently one Of the certainties last
night.
The settling on Mr.. Gibbs for second
place on the ticket seemed to affect the

"The silver men are going to run the
convcntion.' said MI HinrichSen
"They will control both the temporary
and permanent organizations, and will
nominate a free silver ticket from
top to bottom. and adopt Il free
silver, l6 to /, platform. The
wishes of the gold men will
not be considered. The states they
represent will not vote the ticket, and
SO they will be ignored. Last year,
when the Democrats of Illinois held a
convention and declared for free silver,
I wrote to MI. Whitney and other gold
men, asking for a conference between
the gold and silver men of the party.
The replies were short and curt. They
could not think of consulting with so
insignificant a crowd as the free silver
wing represented. Things have changed
now We have two-thirds of the dele
gates. We will not confer with the
gold men because we have nothing to
confer about. The great Democratic
party wants free silver ticket and
platform, and we will give it to them. y

TELLER'S POSITION.

Colorado Mans Name Will Not BE Pre-
sented to the Convention.
CHICAGO, July 1.-Delegates to the
appear averse to discussing the proba-
bility that Senator Teller will cut any
figure in the Democratic convention.
The senator has a number Of personal
friends among the silver delegates who
have already arrived, and among them
are some who would not be averse to his
nomination for president. They feel,
however, that the conditions are not
yet ripe for the springing of his name,
and say that it would be opposed to the
interests of both Senator Teller and the
silver cause to bring him to the front at
this time, if at all. There are also
number of Senator Teller's silver Re-
publican and Populist friends in the
city who are devoting themselves
more to
Watching the Course of Events
than to any active work. The Popu-
lists who are here say openly that Mr..
Teller is the only man the Democrats
can name that they will endorse. The
silver Republicans are not so pro-
nounced. They put the matter less
pointedly by saying that Teller is the
only man whose nomination would in

cratic ticket.
1t is not the purpose Of the senator's
friends to have him placed in nomina-
ton as others will be. This course they
consider would be in bad form and con-
trary to Mr.. Teller's wishes. Their
plan is not to make all aggressive cam.
paign, but simply to be on the ground
to answer questions and to take advan.
tage of any opportunity that may offer.

Curious State of Affairs.
A poll of the state delegates made by
the New York Herald correspondents
shows a surprising condition OF affairs a
week before the convention meets. Few
of the state delegations have been i'll.
structed to vote for any candidate. In
the states where no instructions have
been given individual delegates hest.
tated to express choice, and when
they did it was nearly always with the
reservation that the situation when
they reached Chicago might cause them
to change their views
The silver men, with their over
whelming majority Oh the currency
plank, have no settled views on a candi-
date. Gold standard advocates are too
busy making fight to prevent a dis
ruption of the party to think of nomi-
nee.
Many of the New England delegates
expressed preference for Ex-Governor
Russell Of Massachusetts, but he, i'll his
desire to prevent party disruption, has
declared that he would go to Chicago as
q worker in the ranks and would not
permit his name to go before the con-
YeutiOu.
