which was brought to a conclusion al

IN Minneapolis yesterday. Ignatius
Dohnelly was the principal part of the

oOne, nor was anything left undone
which Mr.. Donnelly wished to bava
done. 'o

isnatius Donnelly was Endorsed as the

LONG NOMINATED.
DR.. Christian Johnson, who had bean
agreed upon to lead the ticket, rose and
explained to the delegates why for rea-
sons of policy it would be better to Sc
lect some one else. Lind was a soldier
ana would make his canvass as a SOL
dler. To offset this fact, the mid
readers should take G. a. r. man.
with good record, and nominate him
10 run against Lind. He suggested
mat SUCH a man was L. G.. Long, and
he placed his name before the con-
vention.
The crowd took to the idea and would
have settled the matter with no loss
OF time had not Mr.. Long protested.
He said he had led a forlorn hope in
the Second district twice, in his cam
raigns of 1894 ard 1896, for congress
against McCleaIy, and he realized that
10 accept the honor now meant polit-
zeal death for his future He was a
poor man and could make no cam
paign.
10 this Or. johnson made reply that
1t was the intention to raise a cam
paign fund Of $1,000 for his use. and the
doctor said he would be one Of the
forty men to subscribe $25 for that pur-
pose. Mr. Donnelly added s25 to the
fund thus started
The nomination of Mr.. Long, for the
first place on the ticket, was then made
unanimous, and the others followed as
named above.
Following is the state central COM
mittee selected: First district, William

Before adjoul ming the delegates from
the congressional districts were given
the power to select delegates 10 the ma
tional mid-road convention. which IT
is planned to hold some time in July.
1t is the intention of the mid-road
faction to claim the Pooulist party
organization and the right to use the
name. The Michigan court decision
forms the basis of their expectations
OF success.
