Was All.

Was All.
They were a long time doing a small
amount of business, but Ramsey coun-
ty Republicans, in convention assem-
bled for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the Taylor's Falls congression-
al convention, finally accomplished
their purpose and adjourned with as
much enthusiasm as is customary in
cut-and-dried affairs of like nature.
Delegates were slow in arriving at
Market hall and it was nearly noon
yesterday before Chairman Zollman, of
the county committee, called the stray
glers together. Some of the war hor-
ses, including your old friend S. Lowen-
stein, and your perennial comrade,
Henry Johns, and the irrepressible and
loquacious Capt. Burger, were present
by proxy, their appearance giving
touch of familiarity to the scene as
viewed from the platform. There was
some hitch about the credentials, the
names of many persons appearing in
the printed lists that were not entitled
to seats in the convention. But this
little informality was dispensed with
with little delay, as the wards were
allowed to send corrected lists to the
secretary, and the committee on
credentials was dispensed with as there
were no contests reported.
Oar Reese got the eye and ear on
the chairman and moved that Otto
Kueffner, that honorable and dis
tinguished exponent of the principles
Of Republicanism, be made temporary
chairman. The crowd thought the
selection a wise one and voted unan-
imously for Mr.. Kueffner, who made a
speech that was not heard beyond the
first row Of seats in the hall. He said
something about the grand old party
and that the convention had a grave
responsibility resting on it's shoulders
and there was something about the
speakers hearing the tramp of millions
who were marching to the polls to vote
for the Republicans next November
which if it were true, and not mere
figure of speech, Mr.. Kueffner has very
good ears, for the buzz of conversation
among the delegates and speakers was
so marked as to be impolite to say the
least.
George T. Daley and Oscar Loner-
gan were selected as temporary secre-
taries and the convention was in con-
fusion for half an hour while the lists
of delegates were being corrected. After
the temporary organization had been
voted permanent, the chairman was
authorized to appoint committee on
resolutions consisting of one member
from each ward and one from the
country That committee was an
nounced as follows:
First ward-A. P. Croonqust
Second ward-Fred Zollman.
Third ward-E. J. KrahIner.
Fourth ward-A. S. Speel.
Fifth ward-Robert Seng.
Sixth ward-Jos. Roupf.
Seventh ward-Sanford Newell.
Eighth ward-Leo Beetscn.
Ninth ward-John Hedman.
Tenth ward-E. A. Cudworth.
Eleventh ward-Oscar Lonergan.
Country-W. w. Rich,
The committee On resolutions retired
and on motion of Fred Zollman
resolution was adopted instructing the
wards to select delegates to the con-
gressional convention and hand the
names to the secretary to be, ratified
by the convention. The basis Of rep
resentation proposed created stir
among the delegates of the Third ward,
who were not satisfied with represen-
tation that the proposed plan would
give to them. AS proposed, the Third
ward would have but four delegates
and Delegate Green insisted that the
ward was entitled to at least SIX seats
in the Taylor's Falls convention. But
he was voted down by the convention.

The report of the committee on res

There was much cheering as the names

toned and particularly was the en-
thusiasm vociferous when Mr.. Stevens
