Those counties having minor candi-
dates and not in line with any of the
reading candidates, were very careful
about the vote splitting. Stevens couR-
ty for instance, having a candidate in
Z. l.. Brown, for the supreme bench,
divided the vote as nearly even as it
could be, and there was a Taught was
so obvious. When Chairman Dona-
hover, of the Ramsey county delega-
ton. announced the vote, there was
howl of derision from the EuStis push.
for there had been some sort Of doubt
AS to- what Ramsey might do. The
/ Minneapolitanc- saw at once that the
delegation was hoplessly divided and
they knew from the way Chairman
Donahower looked into his hat that he
did not think much of the chances of
winning as things stood. g 1'3;,-
On the first ballot Eustis had more
strength than he claimed the night
before the convention. He had no idea
that he had 500 votes, nor did any of
his people. but they turned up 529.
Nearly every man in the hall was
keeping score. and the result was
known as soon as the call was fin
ished. Then the Eustis people made
demonstration. l.. P. Hunt and j.
M. Rees went out with flags and they
kept the Eustis push bowling until
they were exhausted.
The result Of the ballot had a de-
pressing effect on the Van SAINT peo-
pie. for they only had 4O1 votes. and
they counted on 40 as sure. The Col
Inns strength Was located at 24S-ap-
proXimately the strength claimed. Col
Inns confidently expected that there
would be several ballots, and Thought
the vote on the first ballot quite SAT-
isfactory. e Jl..e
When the second ballot was ordered
Henry Feig was willing to give his
voice rest. Henry had become pop
ular and the lcrowd would not have
the new man who undertook the call
ing Of the roll. They howled for Feig.
and they were told by the chairman
that the roll would be called when
they got tired bowling, Mr. Feig was
tired and would not call the roll. he
announced. fsD,t
The changes began to come early on
the second ballot, but it was not until
they had got down to Kandiyofi that
the EuStiS crowd came to understand
that it was likely their man would be
nominated. Kandiyohi county added
two to the Eustis strength. and the
other counties began to drop in one or
two here and there and at the finish
F,ustis showed g. gain of twe,ty-six
votes. He had 500, and TWENTY-FIVE
more votes would nominate him. Then
it became a band wagon affair There
was trouble in Ramsey county. Dom
ahower was on chair gesticulating at
the chairman. He announced that
Ramsey would make change in it's
vote and asked for time. Sharood, In

nearly scared the life out of Berg and
his friends. Langum ran like house
afire and within ten minutes after the
roll call was started on the nomina-
ton Berg had left the platform and
was at work rustling on the floor. Col.
Vandiver was with him. or in the
neighborhood, and between the two
they managed to pull victory out of
the very grasp of Langum. Berg and
his friends were aStonished. They had
TO idea that Langum would be in the
running and the surprise was SO COM
plete that if the Hennepin men had
stuck to the deal they had with
Langum he would have been nomln-
ated. At a critical time Vandiver
forced the Hennepin people to turn in
thirty votes for Berg and that saved
him by giving the rest Of his support
ers courage.
The attorney generalship had been
stoutly fought and each of the two
leading candidates was quite sure of
what the result would be. On the
count of the votes Douglas had long

properly punctuated with applause.
The Republicans Of Minnesota, in conven-
ton assembled, congratulate the country on
the evident signs of returning prosperity,
largely due to the party's answering ale
glance to the cause of sound money and the
wise revenue legislation of the Republican
congress
The Dingley bill has been a new stimulus
to American industry, created new enter
prises, increased the demand for labor and
in a multitude of ways vindicated the wis
dom OF the Republican policy under all con-
ditions of our national life. We affirm our
adhesion to the principles set forth in the
platform OF our last national convention, at
st. Louis, and eXemplified in the administra-
ton of William Mckinley. The work of IN
doing the mischief wrought upon American
industry by the last Democratic administra-
ton is being prosecuted with yigor that
commands our admiration. The wisdom of
our Republican congress cannot be too highly
commended for its efforts in providing such
remedial Legislation as Is necessary to re-
form abuses growing out of Democratic mis-
rule; to supply the wants of an exhausted
treasury and repair the damages produced
by the gross acknowledgement of our national
finances, by enacting a tariff which afforded
neither protection nor revenue and was de-
struct1ve of the interests of the wage Garner

OPENING EXERCISES.
w. E. Lee, of Todd county, was
made temporary chairman at once on
the assembling of the convention,
being nominated by o. D. Kinney, of
st. Louis. and seconded by Fred B.
Snyder, of Minneapolis. Chairman
Warner had made no speech in call
ing the convention to order, simply
reading the call, and Mr.. Lee gave it
out that he had not been elected to
make speeches. He would proceed
with the regular order Of business. He
maintained his opposition to speech
making to good purpose all day and
shut off many an aspiring orator.

pliments to the men now in the field,
and naturally brought the subject
around to the Civil war, and said it
was his duty and his pleasure to put
in nomination a man who had gone to
the front at the call Of his country
and was ready to go again. He re-
ferred to Capt. Van SAINT, who was
the choice of a practically solid con-
greSSional district, and he demanded
for the captain the nomination on the
ground that he came from a district
that was very necessary to the Re-
publican party, having given that par
ty a majority Of 14,0 600 two years ago.
The mention Of the name Of the can
didate ELECTED a roar of applause that
lasted for several minutes, and things
looked very rosy indeed for the cap
tain. The roseate hue was even more
marked within the next few minutes,
for it seemed that the nomination was
being seconded by every other county
in the convention.
A Carlton delegate got the floor first
and seconded for his county. The fol-
lowing counties seconded the nomina-
tlon in the order given: Goodhue, Ohm
then a dozen seconds came from as
many counties in different parts OF
the hall in a bunch.
Henry Johns, of Ramsey, interfered
and stopped the row by loosely mcv-
ing, sin the interests of harmony, that
nominations do now Close He got
the laugh that he expected but the
chair refused to put the motion on the
ground that it had not been seconded.
Some sort of order had been restored
when a tall, grayhaired, distinguished
looking young man got up and left tie
Hennepin delegation, making his way
down the aisle to the platform. The
Eustis men saw the movement and
they set up a howl, "Rees, Eustis."
The gray haired man was John M.
Rees, of Minneapolis, very ELOQUENT
talker, to whom had been committed
the job Of putting the Hennepin man
in nomination.
He did not get a chance to make
himself heard for several minutes. for
the Eustis crowd felt that the time
had arrived to do a little shouting on
their own account. When Mr.. Rees
finally made himself heard he remark
ed that he was about to put in nom
ination, at the request Of a solid dele
cation of 112 members from Henne-
pin and 100000 people, that ELOQUENT

against 1t and the ballot was ordered.
FIRST ROLL CALL.
The first roll cali was ordered. Henry
Feig was diff1dent about using his voice
at first and somebody protested that he
could not hear; that settled it with Mr..
feig; he opened up his pipes. and from
that time until he lost his voice en-
tirely, there was no complaint about
not being able to hear him.

was there was no way of forcing the
members to show their hands. If the

Oh could have been forced when the

quite likely that Van SAINT would have

During the recess there was good
deal Of sharp work going On and the

the band the party had brought along

When the band played the 'r''

took it to themselves and they made
the rafters Of the Auditorium shake
with their shouts 1t was along about
this time that Van SAINTS people began
10 think that perhaps they had been
too confident.
The actions OF the Ramsey county
delegation had a depressing effect.
They had scrapped all through the re-

ed to announce the delegation for
Eustis and let 1t go at that. The
other leaders would not have it, and
a poll of the delegation was demanded.
In the meantime a change was an
nounced by Becker county. 1t had
cast three votes for Van SAINT and
seven for Eustis before and it added
four votes to the Eustis column. That
was the beginning Of the end. The
pom Of Ramsey strengthened Eustis,
for the men who were with him on
the quiet had to show their hands. The
poll added eleven votes to the Eustis
column and their it was all over 1t
became a band wagon affair, and Fill
more county took advantage Of its
proximity to the chair. The chairman

better article than your competi.
tor if you can not get better
price for it
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our

How can you get the public to

If both articles are brought pro-
minently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the
public will be very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
