The convention was held in the
Metropolitan opera house, Grand
Forks, which was tastefully decorated
for the occasion with flags and bunt-
ing. The delegates were late in as
scmbling and it was 1880 when
Chairman Brynjolfsen of the Demo-
cratic state central committee called
the delegates to order. After an invo-
cation by Rev. A. c. Stevens, the chair
announced that the state central COM
mittee had decided on A. G. Burr of
Bottincau as temporary chairman of
the convention and c. A. Mccain of
Grand Forks as temporary secretary.
The recommendations were accepted
and Max Whipperman Of Wahpeton
and ]. L. Cashel of Grafton were ap-
pointcd a committee to escort the
temporary officers to the platform.
Mr.. Burr, in taking charge of the
gavel. made a short but felicitous
speech, in which he took occasion to
eulegize Judge Parker and to indulge
in a few pleasantries at the expense
of the Republican machine in North
Dakota.
The address of the chairman was
hardly finished before the project to
unseat Mr.. Brynjolfsen came up in a
motion to provide for the permanent
organization committee by judicial
district caucuses. An amendment to
have the committee appointed by the
chair was carried finally and the COM
mittee was named as follows:
c. NJ English, F. l.. Thompson, v.
B. Lowell. M. A. Wipperman, N. P.
Rasmussen, ]. Svensgaard, M. Bryn-
jolfsen and A. Besanconnsi.

named by the chair as follows:
D. Nj. Holmes, Preston Garland, H.
A. Holmes and ]. P. Lamb.
The following committee on resolu-
tons was appointed, after which the
convention adjourned to 2:45: ].
lCIuluS, 0lNcI kAAuISW
Blewett, D. c. Greenleaf and John
Carmody.
At o'clock Chairman Burr called
for the report of the committee on
credentials, but no response being
made, he called for the report o. the
committee on permanent organization
and order of business. The report
was presented, recommending that
the temporary organization lie made
permanent, and that S. R. Finley of
Wells. county be elected assistant Sec
rotary.
A minority report was presented,
declaring that the action of the con-
vention at Fargo in selecting a chair
man for the central committee was
without authority, and affirming that
the state central committee and it's Of
ficers could only be elected by the
state nominating convention. The
fight against Mr.. Brynjolfsen broke
loose again, but was postponed by the
