just come from the parlor packed with
sWeltering humanity, and Immediately
retired to an ice box. The weather in
the Brunswick corridors was hot, but
that little parlor must have been an
oven. Every one present felt at liberty
to talk as he pleased, and did so
whether any one else was pleased or
not. Donnelly seemed to keep about as
cool and as silent as any one; but there
were those present who thoroughly un-
derstood his views and stood up for
them.
When 1t swas finally realized that
nothlng could be done with such large
number present, the Democrats retired
TO another room and the Populists held
the parlor. Before separating, it had
oeen agreed that sub b-conference com
inlttees should be appointed Accord
ingly the following gentlemen were Sc
lected by the factions:
Democrats-M. J. McGrath, Winona: George
eaan, GraH, Brown; R. T. Daley. Renville; T. J.
McD;ermott o,;e mott Ramsey; T. t. Hudson, St.
Louis; John b. Ostrom Warren
,Popul1sts-Ignatius Donnelly, Dakota: ]. G.
Hfaniey, Ramsey Martin E. -Tew, Yellow
M; MMeoicine; Senator Reishus, Lyon; Francis H.
Clark, Ramsey.
To meet these, the following free sill
yer Republicans were invited in: SEN
ators Morgan and Howard. E. r. Cor
ser ]. M. Griffin, Frank Day.

getting together, and in short order

but beyond this the Democrats and
Popul1sts spared for wind so wari]v
and persistently that no arbitrary line
OF DIVISION was drawn. When the CON
ference broke up however, the Demo-
Gratis understood that they were to ao
INTO the convention today and proceed
10 nominate Lind and two others. They
Iurther understood, or at least were
agreed among themselves that the off,
ces to be considered are state treasurer
and secretary of state.
while the slate given above met with
most general favor, there were plenty
OF delegates who pointed out that tbe
Sixth district should not be given two ,,o
nominations. THE Democratic county

nation" said a Second district leader.

the Second, Third, Fourth and Sixth
districts on the state ticket, and would
be fair division

but late last night the Populists were
insisting that they must have the can

sey may have a chance for the treas

will be a free field for Tom O'Brien for
congress. There was a report circu-
lating yesterday that Francis HI. Clark
stands ready to withdraw in O'Brien's
&c
free silver Democrats. 1t was hinted
too. that the Lawler-C -Cutcheon wing
Will not put candidate in the field
against O'Brien, but let Stevens and
the free silver champion fight it ont
between them. This report, of course,
left Congressman Kiefer out Of the
reckoning.
Speaking of Lawler recalls the fact
that all sorts of threats were being
made against him yesterday by some
radical Bryan men.
How did your people come to put
LAWYER and Cutcheon on the state dele
gatfon?" asked a Hennepin man of
Tom O'Brien.
oh, we thought eighty-four men
could hold three men down without
any trouble" responded Tom
The chances are promising for a row
however, If the committee on creden-
tials reports the names of Lawler and
Cutcheon to the convention. Not a few
counties have passed resolutions con-
demning Mr.. Lawler by name: and
several delegates are understood to be
loaded with further denunciatory reso-
lutions to be presented in today's con-
vention.
In this connection it may be said
that the friends Of w H. Donahue.
the original Bryan man of the Mime
sofa delegation to Chicago, are pre-
pared and determined to make a fight
to have him recommended as national
committeeman from Minnesota, in
stead of LawIer.
1t is all right for Chairman Jones to
name Tom O'Brien as member Of the
national executive committee" said
one of the Hennepin leaders; "and we
are glad OF it. But Jones can do that
jest as well as he made st. John.
non-n1ember. treasurer Of his com
mlttce. We think Donahue deserves
recognition, and we propose to try to
put him In the place now held by Dan
Lawler.''
Mention of the name of George Gels
sci was rather surprise to the dele
gates who had arrived yesterday. The
Sixth district delegates are organized
to push his canvass in earnest, and ex-
press confidence that they will secure
him the nomination for state treasurer.
Headquarters of the Third district
have been established in Room "A, at
the Nicollet. There the friends of Hon
H. ]. Peck, of Shakopee, will put in
some good licks for their favorite.
