The Convention.

Governor White, despairing OF
getting: the nomination for gov
ernor mn the republican ticketfor
a third term, asked that he be
named as one OF the delegates to
the national convention.
In return for this favor from
the convention, he expressed his
willingness to withdraw from the
gubernatorial contest.
But the gang bosses of the
republican party OF this statearc
still i'll control OF the party. Jud
LaMoure, Aleck Mckenzie, NJ.
Il. Jewell and the other rlngsters,
with the single exception OF Maj.
Murphy, OF Minot, are still the
supreme rulers OF the republican
party OF this state, and the
bosses turned down the PROPOSE
ton Of the governor.
Another startling feature OF the
convention was the very scant
courtesy shown the leaders OF
the Scandinavian republican
league, Messrs. j. A. Sorley OF
this city and Fl. I. Helgeson OF
Minot.
Both gentlemen and many
Scandinavians we're at the con-
vention, but not Il single Scandi-
navian is to be found on the dele
CATION to the national conven-
ton, and not a single man favor
able to primary elections and the
adjustment ofthe unit rule stood
the slightest show Of turning a
single hand in any shape what
ever at theconvention yesterday.
People of the state who had
hoped that the reign OF the re-
publican bosses of the state was
at an end, or nearing an end, are
greatly disappointed at the re-
suit OF yesterdays convention,
and the belief that the gang has
the republican party Of the state
in it's iron grip is now a convic-
ton.
AS a result OF the above facts
it is practically conceded that
the republican nomination for
governor will go to Sarles OF
Hillsboro, and the chances are
that the democrats will nomi-
nate NJ. f. Hegge Of Hatton.
This will turn Trail county into
democratic ranks, and will mean
democratic victories in the
counties where the people are
weary OF the republican boss rule
in the state.
The Sarles men are jubilant
over the result OF the convention
and are Offering addh on Sarles
nomination. The defeat of Muir

Fine Game Of Base Ball.

The failure of the marine baseball
club to show up yesterday afternoon
prevented the playing of the game be-
tween that club and the Annapolis
Athletic Club, 'as announced. A game
was arranged and played, however,
with the Red Peppers, who were all
upon the field. Because of the clOudi-

play but five innings. Dixon pitched
for the Red Peppers and Sweet for the

game was the result. After five full
innings the game closed without run
being scored for either team. Both
teams fielded remarkably fast, while
both pitchers were in excellent shape.
