Mr. Rinehart, on behalf of the COM
mittee that went out to- look up the
conferees, said that the Populists had
appointed a. committees, and 1t was
thought that the Democratic conferees
would be ready to report by Z o'clock.
Following this announcement there
ere several attempts made Ito secure
a recess but the country members,
who thought they would be through in
time to go home, protested, and the
motions were all beaten. Then they
began to look around for some one to
make speech, and they happened on
T. r. Kane, of Ramsey. In response
to many calls, Mr.. Kane finally took
the floor. He did not speak for more
than two or three minutes, but he
made such period as evoked the most
enthusiastic burst Of applause that was
heard during the day and set them to
asking about the new silver-tongued
one.
Then came another fight on propo
sition to adjourn for an hour and by
this time the appetites of the delegates
powers. This, added to the eloquence
of Dave Johnson, settled the matter,
and at Z o'clock an adjournment was
taken until o'clock.
1t was after $50 when Chairman
McHale came into the hall and called
the convention to order again.
Mr.. Rinehart, of Hennep n, called the
attention of the convention to the fact
that the state committee had not been
formally given the powers it should
possess, and moved the convention that
the state central commit ee, as named,
upon the adjournment of the conven-
tion succeed to and be in position to
do everything that the convention
might do if it were in session.
THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED.
The committee on conference at this
time entered the hall, with P. B. Win
ston at it's head, and was given All
ovation, and treated to some sympa-
thetic inquiries as to how it had rested,
and others of a like nature. Mr. Win
ston took the platform ard gave the
result of the conference. He said:
1.-The silver Republicans are to name
the governor Cheers for Lind, it be-
ing understood that Mr.. Lind will be
the nominee Of all of the conventions.
The Democrats are to name the secre-
tary of state, the state treasurer and
three associate Justices of the supreme
court, with the understanding that two
Of the judges named are. to be consid-
cred as fusion candidates.
1.-The Populsts will name the lieu
tenant governor, the auditor, attorney
and the clerk Of the supreme court.
"It was also understood that the
nominations made in each of the con-
ventions would be placed upon the
ticket of the other conventions"
The report was received with accla-
nation Of so pronounced a character
that it was evident that the conven-
ton was pleased at the result, and
when J. B. Covington, of Ramsey,
moved the adoption of the report the
motion went through with much show
of enthusiasm.
A good deal of speculative discus
sion followed, which was put stop
to by c.. j. Buell., of Ramsey, saying:
Il move that we proceed to the nom
nation of John Lind" The PROPOSE
ton met with such favor that in spite
of parliamentary opposition it was put
to the question and Mr.. Lind made
the nominee of the convention by
rising vote and a vociferous vote. The
crowd demanded that the band play
when Johnnie Comes Marching
Home" but the band leader didn't
know about that tune and did the best
he could. He played Marching
Through Georgia"
The other nominations were made
rapidly.
A. f. McManus, of Duluth, nominated
j. J. fIeinrichs for secretary of state.
Messrs. Rosing, Townlsy and half
dozen other delegates seconded the
nomina ton, which was made by ac-
clamation.
John H. Ives nominated Alexander
McKinnon, in vigorous speech, for
treasurer. There were numerous sec
ends, and the nomination was made by
rising vote.
Then came the only disagree bic feat
ure of the convention. fight was
made on the nomination of Judge
Mitchell, the attack being led by Alex
