THE FIRST INAUGURATION.

sea Was the Initial one at

No midnight frivolities marked the
advent of the aristocratic John Adams,
nor did the people so indulge upon
Jefferson's inaugurations, the second
of which, in fso5. is memorable as hay
ing been the first inauguration held
i'll Washington, says the National Mag
azine.
Hospitality and gayety reigned su-
preme from the first moments Of Mad
,son's presidency. After the cere-
monies incident to administering the
oath of office, the president and his
escort were lavishly served, by ladies',
at the white house. Ex-President JEFF
:erson assisted In the service. II
would be interesting to know whether
he was in his accustomed neglige.
More interesting, however, Is his
cordial welcome 10 his successor in
comparison with John Adams escape
from the city in private conveyance
at dawn of Jefferson's inauguration
day. Later presidents, too. have
shown q less noble spirit than JefFer-
sons on similar occasions. John
Quincy Adams is said to have ridden
on horseback about the city, within
esrshot of the salute announcing jack
sons succession, unwilling to witness
she ceremony. and Tyler hastened to
the river and embarked in the early
morning Of his retiring to private cit

A TOWN IN TWO STATES.
Ana . Railroad That HAS o.s RAN
IN Tennessee. the other
In virginia.

A Washington dispatch to the Chi
cago Record says that certain change
in the boundary line, as agreed be-
tween Virginia and Teunt ssee, has just
been ratified by congress. This re-
calls good story. For years the town
of Bristol. in cast Tennessee. has had
the unique distinction of being in tive
states. There are two sepnrate mu-
nicipal corporations. one under the
laws of Tennessee and the other un-
der the laws of Virginia. They are

The city of Bristol, Tenn. did not
care to pay for paving the entire thor

Bristol (Ta.) side, while the corpora
zion of Bristol. W., could not step
across the imaginary line ana experd

tickled to death to accept the proro-

over the telephone the otherday. The
tennessee solons passed the ILL. It
was enrrossed and sent to the Virginia
genera! assembly. These lawmakers
accepted the gift, and then congress
was asked to ratify the action of the
two legislatures.
The result of the work is that the
boundary line between Virginia ard

street. There is now an electric street
car line On this tkoroughfare. with one
rail in Tenne ssec and the other in vir-
ginia. Each state will collect one-fS II

Many interesting stories are told of
complications in the past caused by
the boundary line.

REST OF THE TICKET
Candidates for Other Places Still cup
in the Air."

Candidates for the supreme court
and for attorney general were on the
anxious seat this morning. In the
heat Of the battle for governor every
thing else is being sacrificed, and the
minor candidates do not know what
may happen to them at any moment.
The Collins men have knives out for
Judge Lewis, whose counties of ST.
Louis and Otter Tail have sent in
structed Dunn delegations. On the
other hand, the Dunn men will cut
Judge Douglas on general principles.
He has kept clear of the governorship
fight, but Clay county is for Collins.
In this situation Judge Jaggard may
come In ahead Of either Douglas or
Lewis, and the Dunn forces may de-
feat the other with Judge searle.
w. j. Donahower is handicapped
| with a Ramsey county delegation that
is ready to trade anything for Col
| Inns, but he is cheerful, and says he
has ample assurances of support from
delegations in both camps, as he has
remained neutral. e. T. Young has
his eleven Swift county votes in hand
| to trade with, and is much sought
after. His friends claim "cinch,"
but no one really knows.
] The Collins men have been after
Peter e. HANSON, who has been active
in behalf Of Dunn, and have threat
ened to bring out a new candidate
and beat him. He stands pat" how
ever, and holds the Meeker delegation
in the Dunn column.

tempting to secure the minutes Of
the convention at which the Dunn
delegates were elected. The Dunn
delegation finally agreed to surrender
these papers. The minutes Of both
contesting delegations were then sub
mitted on their merits and the. next
contest, that Of Beltranni county
called.
The Beltrami case had amusing
features. The Collins men had won

man asserted. mot because Collins

contest demonstrated some lighter

by S. A. Madden, who was not even
delegate. One witness testified the
calls for the caucuses had been "just
stuck on post" The trouble started
in the convention when the test vote
for temporary chairman showed 81
for Dunn, 81 for Collins morevote:
than there were accredited delegates
Then the Dunn men bolted.
The testimony was conflicting as tt

STORMY SESSION
LASTS ALL NIGHT
FIRST HEARING ON CREDEN-
TIALS HAS NO RESULT.
Testimony Is Heard Bearing on Con-
tests In Hennepin. Ramsey, AnolSa,
Beltrami and Benton Counties
Charges of Crooked Work Urged
by Both Sides.

with bitter charges Of illegal meth
DDS and rank unfairness made by both
factions, the real battle of the pres
ent state republican convention
opened before the credentials COM
nittee In session yesterday after
noon and evening at the Ryan hotel.
In the Hennepin and Ramsey counties
hearings crooked work was vigorously
charged against each side by the
other.
@he committee remained in session
till 1880 am, adjourning till am.
with a resolution asking the state con-
yention in turn to adjourn from its
scheduled time Of meeting, 8 am,
till 2 pm, when the committee hopes
to be ready to report.
Up to the time of adjournment tes-
timony had been taken under advise
ment In the Anoka. Beltrami, Benton,
Hennep1n and Ramsey county cases.
Hennepin Case Heard.
In taking up the Hennepin county
controversy the time of each side was
limited to forty-five minutes. J. G.

Dunn boilers. He asserted the Dunn

part, in proof Of the legality Of all
the conventions proceedings.
Peterson Is Censllred.

Mr.. Peterson objected to the read
ing Of the minutes, calling them
fraudulent and manufactured" on
the ground that the committee re-
ports, as read, were not so prepared
and read to the convention. Mr.. Rob-
erts explained that the minutes were
prepared from the convention notes
and he was allowed to proceed. Sem
ator Somerville censured Peterson
for interrupting Mr.. Roberts. The
minutes showed that the credentials
committee Of the convention had
given the Dunn faction full hearing
and had made fair rulings in each
case where a contest existed. 1t was
also shown that Mr. Peterson had
been allowed to conduct the hearing
before the credentials committee In
each case for the Dunn faction. Mr..
Roberts asserted that the rump con-
vention was disorderly, mobilize
gathering, held on the lawn adjoining
the hall and composed two-thirds Of
citizens who were not delegates.
General George P. Wilson was al
lowed the floor for five minutes. He
admitted he had appointed Collins
men to make UP the convention Gre
dentials committee, but insisted they
were all fair men. He asserted that
Mr.. Peterson was allowed the floor
| whenever he desired 1t. He contro-
verted Mr.. Peterson's assertion that
no Dunn delegates had remained in
the Collins convention after the bolt
and said that 326 Of the 576 delegates
in all had remained In the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Peterson then spoke in rebuttal.
He asked the committee II 1t intend
| ed to let w. P. Roberts, whom he
| called "the rankest partizan in the
| republican party" dictate to the state
| convention, and closed with plea for
| a fair decision aside from party bias.
The Ramsey Hearing.
The Ramsey county contest was
next In order. Former Attorney Cen
eral H. w. Childs appeared for the
Dunn contestants. A number Of affi-
davits were first presented, asserting
the chairmen Of the city and county
committees only sent the legal no.
tees and credential blanks to Collins
men, regardless of the fact that the
law demands in each case they should
be sent to the precinct chairmen. It
was also charged that primary no
tees In some precincts were not legal
ly posted. Fenton G.. Warner was
charged with being the man who die

dishonorable means to win the victory
and Mr.. Callaghan excited amusement
by reading from an evening paper that
Mr.. Dunn had told his friends The
would rather go to hell with them
than win with the other fellows"
James A. Martin, tho nearly ex-
hausted from campaign work, made a
magnetic talk. He told the delegates
he wanted them first to be manly and
second he wanted staying qualities"
He wanted to know why, If Dunn men
had enough without the twin cities,
they had contested the delegates from
those cities.
Senator A. O. Eberhart of Manka-
to, George WEIGH of Morton, w. H.
Lightner of st. Paul and L. P. Hunt
of Mankato also spoke, the last
named contrasted the tactics Of the
two candidates. Instead Of wiring to
his friends in the country, IF you
can't control the convention, bolt it,
Judge Collins said: IF you can con-
| troll the convention, hold it." He also
! quoted democrats as saying that II
Dunn was defeated they would nom.
mate him.
| After the caucus the chairmen Of
Collins county delegations had a con.
ference with the steering committee
at the Collins headquarters.
