congress. CA. Towne, fresh from his
lsurels at st. Cloud, was much sought
after and very affable, and he enter
tanned 7. D. 'O'Brien, of ST. Paul, with
much of his conversation.
7. T. Hudson, who win probably be
chairman of the ST. Louis delegation,
was an important factor in most Of the
little talks that We're mad The dele
cation which Mr.. Hudson will probably
head viii meet this morning at 8
O'Clock at the West to organize.
A B.. Tre1way and j. F. Murphy are
the men who will head the Chippewa
dele cation. One of them will be elected
chairman at a meeting of the de,ega-
tion at the st. James hotel at 9 this
morning.
a. E. Clark, who is being urged to try
his strength against McCleary for con-
eress in the Second, was in the crowd
Ills delegation will organize at the
Windsoc at this morning also.
The Hennepin delegation will orga-
n.Ze at headquarters at 10 o'clock and
VIII be at the West at II O'Clock with
a band to meet the Ramsey delegation
and the two big bodies will march over
to the convention together
The Populist convention will be call
ed to order by Chairman Gibbs at
noon, and it is likely that the present
chairman or j. NJ. Bowler will be made
l..
T. Isyh eh, the temporary chairman.
The headquarters of the Pops at the
Windsor hotel was not greatly crowd
ed1ast night but it was generally ad-
mitted that there was a fight on hand.
The fight will be precipitated early
iE the convention-just as soon as the
motion is made for appointment of q
conference committee. Mr.. DopneuN
Is aware of that fact that, if he loses
on the naming of the conferees, he is
out-of it, and. his fight. will be made
then. it is expected. He is at the head
of a small minority of mid-roaders ap-
parently. He claims that there is a
strength that has not developed that
will be against any sort of fusion I'M
less some other recognition than second
place on the ticket is given to the par
ty. Which is taken to mean that he
win insist on a fusion nomination for
the senate. The split will come early,
and the mid-roaders will probably
walk out of Normanna hall and hold a
convention of their own.
The silver convention will meet at
Harmonic hall. The delegates will come
together at II O'Clock for the particular
purpose of hearing Charles A. Towne
make an address on the reasons for the
% maintaining of the Silver Republican
organization. There is no distinct idea
u.
There have been few delegates elected,
and the proposition is to seat all of
the Minneapolis silver Republicans
who are we'll known. These will be
given the places of the absentees. Mr..
Tewne will probably call the conven-
ton to order himself. No slate had
been made for the organization last
night. and there were no headquarters.
The Ramsey county delegation to the
state convention will meet at 10 o'clock
this morning at the Ryan hotel, with
the exception of the delegates at-large,
who will meet a half-hour earlier The
cars that are to take the delegates to
Minneapolis have been ordered for 20,
and the band will be on hand a half
hour earlier.
1t is proposed that instead Of going
direct to the exposition building, where
the convention is to be held, the RAM
sey county. people go to the West ho-
TEL and join the Hennepin county dele
cation. They will march in a body
with two bands, to the Expo.
AS soon as the Democrats are out OF
the way the Popuiists will meet at the
Ryan and will go over to Minneapolis
at 1880.
