CONVENTION SIMS SCRAP
Republicans Hold an Enthusiastic
and Harmonius Dele
gate Convention.
Delegates to st. Paul and Man
kato Chosen Without
Opposition.

There were large chunks of har-
mony in the Republican county con-
ventioa held in this city on We'd
nesday of last week. The harmony
was so manifest that not the least
| bit of friction came to the surface,
and when any move was made it re-
ceived the unanimous approval of
the convention.
It was the first Republican county
convention of the year. There are
to be two others. The delegates
that will probably be present at the
last two conventions will be more
numerous, but they will not bemore
enthusiastic, and when it is con-
sidered that there was the utmost
harmony among the Republicans of
the county, as we'll as a united
opinion for the present administra-
ton, it will be admitted that the at
tendance was remarkable.
The convention was called to
order at 1:24 by Chairman ]. A.
Schmahl Of the county committee,
who made few remarks congratu-
lating the Republicans on the large
attendance, on the prosperous con-
dition of the country, on the work
| of the National administration. and
on the progress of the party. At

w. C. Starr of the county committee
