The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-01

This indicated to nicely the strength
of the Clough and anti-Clough factions.
j. Albert Hagstrom was chosen secre-
tary. II. L. Brown moved that the
chair be instructed to name 116 dele
gates to ST. Paul. And the chair did
name them, but not until the minority
had beat their breasts and shouted
themselves hoarse in an attempt to have
the representation made by ward
committee.
Mr.. Brown asked that the delegates
be chosen, 101 from the city and towns
and Is at large, the chair to be one of
the Is, and that they be instructed to
cast their ballot as unit for David M.
Clough for governor.
"All those in favor of the motion say
aye" shouted Chairman Johnson with a
CELEBRITY that scorched the air.
The "antis' roared like a herd Of
buffalos at this. G.. c.. JoSyln a leader
of the unterrif1ed, was recognized. "The
majority can afford to be magnano-
NOUS" he said. 1--WE want a fair show
for our representation
1.-THE chair intends to be fair with all
parties" remarked the chairman.
w. H. Grimshaw was next to bat. 81
am aware that you are about to do
what we would like to do" said he to
the accompaniment of roar of laugh
ter, 'but each ward and precinct should
have something to say. The question
arises. are we to atty a selection made
by committee in somebody's back
office last night, or are we here to select
our own delegates to st. Paul. Some
wards have gone against Clough almost
unanimously, and they should be rec
ogniZed.''
''Well guess nit draw1ed a voice
in the back end.
Mr.. Grimshaw moved as an amend
ment that each ward be allowed it's
proportion Of delegates subject to the
call, and that each ward caucus for
such delegates and submit their names
to the convention.
]. Frank Wheaton, whose mighty
lungs had been frequently in evidence,

view. -sr,,
tory spirit, and said that every ward
would be treated fairly in the matter
of representation.
your motion contained nothing to
that effect said G. C. Joslyn. 'You
have a majority of about 80 here, but
do not forget there is healthy min
ority to be heard from at the polls in
November. I know of dozens of Repub-
licans who will never vote for D. M.
Clough.'
The chairman called Mr.. Joslyn down
| hard for this. 1.-THE chairman will not
listen to any reflections against the
| nominees of the party" he said, his
cholar rising. IF man wants to say
anything against Republican candidates
he should have manhood enough not to
take part in the deliberations Of this
| convention"
c. w. Johnson asked that one dele
gate from each ward and three from
the country be chosen to select the 116
delegates.

rear Of the hall again and this time was
! greeted with Kisses. He persevered,
however, in a Republican stump speech
for while. Chairman Johnson coming
to his relief with a big club, which he
used as a gavel.
1--WE will have no Kissing here" echo

| c. S. Cairns, of the committee of 100,
caught Mr.. Johnson's eye and told him

friends of the opposition were willing
| that the majority should rule the con-
vention, but the minority would battle
to the end for their right to take part
In the conventions deliberations. Mr.
| Cairns was cheered
At the conclusion of Mr. Cairns re-
marks, Chairman Johnson stepped for
ward with the air of man who had
! had enough. "I wish to state that 1t
is the intention of the friends of Gov
| Clough to send 116 delegates to ST Paul
