TONNES CANDIDACY rs
ENDORSED BY DEMOCRATS
Minnesota State Convention Heartily

Minnesota State Convention Heartily
Favors His Nomination for Vice
President at Kansas City.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June Co
The Democratic State convention was
not only one of the largest yer held
by the party in this State for merely
delegate purposes, but was the most
harmonious and enthusiastic known for
years.
Charles A. Towne, OF Duluth. Popu-
list candidate for Vice President, was
given the heartiest kind of an endorse
ment and the delegates to Kansas City
were instructed to support him.
The resolution containing this was
put through the committee on resolu-
lions with hardly any friction, only
two members yenturing the opinion
that perhaps it would be best not TO
go too far in the matter. On the floor
of the convention the resolutions were
adopted without a dissenting vote. The
threats to bolt the Towne proposition
did not materialize. The anis discov-
cred early in the day that they were in
a hopeless minority.
The resolutions adopted favor the
free coinage OF silver at the existing
legal ratio" which virtually means
Is to l, denounce trusts. demand that
trust articles be placed upon the free
list; express sympathy with the Beers;
demand independence for Cuba; ask
the repeal of war taxes; favor postal
savings banks; favor the income tax,
the election of U. S. Senators by direct
vote of the people and the system of
the initiative and referendum. The
present national administration is de-

Tonight the resolution Is the prin-
cipal topic of conversation among the
delegates, Those from the Southern
States are working like beavers to stem
the tide which seems to be running to-
wards the adoption of the resolution.
They declare that it's adoption means
death to Republicanism in the South.
They are presenting their case TO every
Northern delegation. Many of the del
egations held informal caucuses to-
night, in which the resolution was
discussed, with a view TO action to-
morrow.
AS a rule, however, no definite decis-
ion was reached.
So strong has the feeling become
among the Southern delegates that
many of them are prepared to trade
their votes for the Vice Presidency for
votes against the resolution. Indeed,
this offer has been made openly in a
number of instances.
In an explanation of the reasons
which actuated Mr.. Quay in presenting
the resolution, Senator Penrose, OF
Pennsylvania, said tonight, after ex-
pressing his belief hat the PROPOSE
ton would be adopted:
Col. Quay offered the amendment
because he knows the proposition is
popular in the Northern States.
The great States OF New York and
Pennsylvania with i 5 5000. 600 popula-
ton are subordinate in influence TO
Southern States that do not deliver an
electoral vote, and we propose to equal
ize matters. We believe 1t is fair and
we will insist on the adoption OF the
new rule"

QUAY'S RESOLUTION
Changing the Basis Of Representa-
tion and the Eject its Adoption
Would Have.

Changing the Basis Of Representa-
tion and the Effect its Adoption
Would Have.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 20.-
The resolution to-day introduced by ex-
Senator Quay relating to the rear
rangement of the basis of representa-
ton in future national conventions,
has created a sensation, particularly
among the delegations from the South
ern States.
Four years ago Henry C. Payne, ma
tional committeeman from Wisconsin,
proposed to the national committee an
amendment to the rules providing that,
thereafter, delegates to Republican ma
tional conventions should be selected
on the basis of n delegate for every
10000 Republican votes cast at the pre-
vious Presidential election. The prop
osition was widely discussed at the
time, but after mature consideration,
the national committee decided to take
no action.
The principal argument by the ad-
sotdtcS VI q Change uclHS that, uuue
the present rules, the Southern States,
upon which no reliance can be placed
for Republican electoral votes, proper
tionately have the greater power in the
selection of the national candidates OF
the party than those States which are
looked TO always to elect a Republican
President.
In connection with the resolution,
Col. Quay sent to the clerks desk the
following statement showing the num-
Der of delegations according to present
basis, as compared with basis of one
delegate for each 10000 votes. or ma
