good-natured Democratic alderman,
Charles r. Taylor was nominated and
elected temporary chairman of the
convention following the reading of
the call by Secretary Leonard, it took
the combined efforts of the few Re
publicans in the house to thaw the
frost sufficiently to raise noise that
broke the death-like stiffness per.

As the ponderous form Of the coal
dealer ascended the stairs leading TO
the stage proscenium loomed into
sight, the reporters Republicans start
ed a handicap that made the temper:
aTy chairman smile one of his sweetest
smiles and in acknowledgment of the
honor conferred he thanked the few
faithfuls gathered, in his most persua-
sive and fascinating manner. =
: After the election of Jno. c. Wise
Jr as temporary secretary, the conven-
ton if such it could be properly called
was ready for business. A committee
of three on credentials was authorized
to be appointed by the chair, and the
following were chosen: Fred West:
hoff, city; W. A Just, Rapidan;
Henry Paegel, Mapleton.
The committee on permanent organ
ization was then appointed by the

The afternoon session was somewhat
better attended than the morning one:
It is well that it was, or the ..discour-
agement would have SO possessed the
faithful that they would have sue
cumbed without even going through
the needless form of nominating a
ticket. :
The expected speakers from st. Paul
did not arrive until after one O'Clock
on account of the belated trains. Hon.
T. D. O'Brien, the Democratic national
Committeeman, was fshed out taken
to The Saulpaugh and given one of Mr..
Snyder's best meals. T. d. had a
splendid appetite, if the time consum-
ed in getting to the hall is considered.
The convention adjourned to 1 80
but it was 2 100 clock before Chair
man Taylor called the convention to
order.
The chairman called for the report
of the committee on credentials which
