After two days of conferences 6nd
propositions the Democrats and Pop
ulists of Hennepin county failed to
fuse, and the Democrats, in addition,
ended up with trouble in the ranks Of
their own party. The cause of the dis
agreement between the two parties was
that the Populis s insisted on standing
by their nomination of Cation, while the
little discord in the Democratic ranks
was due to the bitterness with which
the contest for the nomination for
sheriff was fought out.
For the trouble between the Demo-
Gratis and the Popuiists the latter
charge the former with bad faith.
Shortly before noon yesterday the
Democrats. while the Populists were
in the hall, named a second conference
committee, the first having failed to
reach an agreement. This committee
was not empowered to yield to the
PopuliSts the nomination of either a
congressman or sheriff, and this was
understood, and yet, in spite of this
fact, after practical compact had
been made, the PopuliSts insisted on.
Cation. Then the Democrats went on
anu udLt6u d llchel with only the Sill
yer Republicans as allies. The feature
of the Democratic convention, not Sec
ond even to that of fusion, was the
nomination for sheriff. When the con-
vention adjourned late Tuesday night,
the question was still open, with
charges of ballot tampering flying,
and the result Of the first secret ballot
in doubt. With the meeting of yes
terday morning this question was kept
in the background for a time, but in
the afternoon session it cropped out
suddenly, when Ed Stevens made a
motion to proceed With another bal
lot for sheriff. Chairman Gallagher
ed not to be, and the Phillips men,
headed by Alex Stewart, bolted, leav-
ing the hall in a body
After the boilers withdrew, Conroy
was nominated by reclamation
BY this time the boilers, who had
vainly sought quarters across the
street, returned to occupy the small
hall on the upper floor of the Norman
ma building.
This gave Conroy a chance to say
that, as he thought more of his party
than of personal considerations he
was willing to withdraw. The Phil
lipps men refused to come into camp
and finally Mart Whitcomb was nam
ed as a compromise candidate
The boilers went on and decided in
separate session that their man had
been squarely nominated yesterday,
s., and that they would recognize no 9th
er candidate.
Before this incident the convention
had devoted itself largely to fusion
During the morning little was accom-
pllshed beyond giving P0pulist COM
mittee a hearing
Mr.. Stevens moved that the confer
ence committee appointed yesterday
be requested to meet with the silver
Republican and the Populist confer
ence committees once more and take
such action as may seem desirable
taking into consideration the present
attitude of the Democratic convention
regarding sheriff and congressman.
Mr.. Stacy, of the Popuist committee,
expressed Willingness to take up the
matter under these conditions and the
convention adopted MIR. Stevens mo-
ton with instructions to the confer
ees to report back at 2 o'clock
In the meantime the Populists had
been waiting to hear from their COM
mIttee. When the report was received
\ 1t was adopted with a proviso that the
Populists would indorse the Democratic
nominee for sheriff if the Democrats
would indorse Cation, the Populists in
the meantime to name a candidate for
Sheriff in the event of the failure of
fusion. The convention then made the
following nominations:
Sheriff, NJ. P. Hobart; register OF
deeds, d. A. Macarthur; coroner. C. M.
Faro; judge Of probate, NJ L. Forseen.
When the report of the action of the
Populists was brought back to the
Democratic convention, many Of the
members had left the hall, but enough
delegates We're secured to rescind all
action looking to fusion, and the com
plete ticket as given above was named.
A resolution was passed providing
that the county committee should have
authority to fill all vacancies unpro-
Vlued for and not conceded to the sill
yer Republicans, and a recess taken
I'LL Wednesday evening next. when a.
meeting will be held at Democratic
headquarters to make the notifications
which may be necessary under the law.
During the morning a Populist CITY
convention was called to order. It did
little but fcrmal,y organize and adjourn
to July II.
