The Democratic state committee met
In the offices of Chairman T. ]. Nc
Dermott yesterday afternoon. There
were present Messrs. McDermott,
chairman; T. J. Muilane, secretary:
Lars M. Rand, H. M. Lamberton. Jr..
j. j. Thornton and J. J. McCafferty,
or the committee at large, and Messrs.
Albert Schaller, of Hastings; ]. F.
Franzen, of st. Paul; Chris H. Heffron,
of Rochester, by P. j. Smalley; John
Coleman, of Anoka, by John e.
Hearne; Joseph Roach, of Northfield;
B. F. Voreis, of Fairmount; NJ. E.
Matthews, Of Marshall; J. D. Sheedy,
of Austin; John G. Brown, of Duluth;
and Frank E. Newell, of Morris by w,
M. Campbell
The first business considered was the
selection of a date for holding the on
vention for the selection of delegates
for the national convention, and, after
some discussion, the date was fixed for
June II.
Mr.. Lamberton moved that the con-
vention be held in ST. Paul, to which
Mr.. Rand moved as an amendment
that the convention held to nominate
candidates for state offices be held in
Minneapolis at date to be eubse-
quently fixed. AS amended the mo-
tion was adopted.
The next question being the appor-
tionmept of delegates, Mr.. Campbell
moved that the vote for Grover Cleve-
land in 1892 be made the basis, which
was adopted, and, on motion of Mr.. Nc
Cafferty, each county was given a rep
resentation in the convention of two
delegates at large, and one additional
for each $50 votes, or major fraction
thereof, cast that year for Mr.. Cleve-
land.
Mr.. Rand moved that the same appor-
tionment be adopted for the conven-
tion to name a state ticket, and this
was adopted, and the chairman and
secretary were directed to issue the
proper call
The question was discussed of hold
ing but one convention for both pur-
poses, and there was a general inter-
change of views, but the majority
thought 1t best to hold to the old prac-
tice. During the general talk Mr.
Campbell suggested that the commit
tee might invite the Republicans to get
out another edition of their little PAM
phlet of 1894, changing the title this
time to What the Fifty-Fourth Con-
gress Has Done" but did not press the
matter, as it might add to their many
troubles.
On motion of Mr.. Brown the commit
tee adjourned to June 10.
The following is the unofficial apportion-

delegates holding seats in the tenn

right to vote on the adoption of this
report. The Eganites, 140 delegates be-

then perfected a permanent organiza-
ton. The convention then chose dele
gates at large to the national conven-
ton. They are uninstructed, but all
are pronounced Mckinley men, with
Reed as their probable second choice.
The convention adjourned after adopt

Indiana owed New York a debt of
