Northwestern delegates to the con-
vention Of the National Democratic
party left for indianapolis last night
The party, delegates as we'll as those
who are going for pleasure, numbered
half a hundred persons, scattered IN
the trains of the several Chicago roads
They will all meet at Democratic head
quarters at the Palmer house, Chicago
tomorrow. and complete arrangements
for transportation to the convention
city Minnesota delegates are not uni
ted in favor of Watterson to head the
ticket. In fact, there will be some de-
cided opposition en- the floor of the
convention if the Kentucky editor s
name is mentioned for either first OF
last place. On the other hand there Is
a friendly feeling to Kentucky, and
Gen. Buckner is the favorite of the
Minnesota delegates for vice president
More than Watterson, they think, he
can unite the Democrats of the South
and that he can carry Kentucky for
sound money the Minnesotans seem
confident. Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, is
the favorite for presidential nominee,
although many think Gen. Palmer, of
Illinois, would be strong candidate if
he can be persuaded to accept the NOM
ination.

When these delegates were appointed
they were instructed to name their
own alternates, and no official list has
been received at headquarters of the
third party in this city But there will
be an alternate for every delegate at
Indianapolis, so great is the interest
in the convention.
The North Dakota delegation arrived
In the city late in the afternoon and
were met at the depot in an informal
way by several members of the Min
nesota delegation. The Northwestern-
ers were: F. r. Fulton, H. l.. Whited,
D. c. Moore T. c. Crenshaw, Robert
Blalemore and r. A. Shattuck There
were number of persons in the party
who are going to Indianapolis as spec
tatOrs, and there was an alternate for
each delegate. The washington dele
cation arrived in the morning, but
spent the day in Minneapolis and de-
parted from that city SO that they were
not personally in contact with the Min
nesOta people during the day.
Immediately after the convention at
Indianapolis one of the first labors of
the Minnesota state committee will be
to secure poll of the honest money
voters of the state in order that the
strength of the movement may be
known, and further that it may thus
learn through what channels it may
distribute it's literature most effective
ly. This work has progressed fairly
we'll under the direction of Secretary
Jared Howe, but the canvass has not
been as complete as desired ExDer-
fence has shown that much valuable
literature is wasted in every campaign
because of the failure to distribute it
intelligently. and the state committee
proposes that all that passes through
shall be placed where it will do the
NEST good. To this end the literature
committee will be formed in each coun-
ty and through these documents will
be sent to the voters, and pains will
he taken by following the literature Ut
to see that it will be read.
One of the main purposes-the main
purpose, in fact-Of the intention to
establish sound money clubs through
out the state is that through these
agencies the literature sent out NAV
be followed up and it's fruits properly
estimated. The sound money men do
not expect to run a brass band''
campaign, but on the contrary expect
TO appeal to the intelligence Of the
Voter by placing in his hands the
best helps to arriving at a complete
understanding of the monetary cues
ton. There will be speaking in all
the principal counties and in all the
principal cities and towns; some of
the best sound money orators in the
country will be heard. But there will
be an absence of that show which the
other parties illustrate in torchlight
PROFESSIONS barbecues and other
things which appeal to the eye and
stomach rather than to the sound
sober sense of the voter
While the poll will be taken with
more than ordinary care. the managers
of the sound money campaign do not
expect it to show, except approx
mately, the full strength of the senti.
ment in Minnesota. They realize thai
many men who are in sympathy with
the movement are averse to beine
publicly known as advocating It, and
they expect to find many who are
known as supporters of Bryan and whs
would not be placed upon the poll a:
opposing him, really in sympathy will
sound money and determined to vot,
for it. These men are deferred b,
their environments from declaring ;
purpose in opposition to the majority
with whom they associate and will
whom they have business relations
and owing to this fact the third part,
managers believe that their poll, unlik
