Held This Afternoon.
DULUTH DELEGATES ELECTED
Harmonious Conference of Leaders
Not Ripple Disturbs Pr, eeed-

|
afternoon, to elect seventeen delegates
to the state convention at Duluth, was a
large and representative gathering of
the grand old party of Blue Earth county
Nearly all of the l39 delegates entitled
to seats in the convention were present
when the chairman of the county COM
mittee. DR.. j. w. Andrews, called it to
order at the A. 0. L. w. hall. A feel
ing of harmony prevailed. Many of
the delegates had arrived in the city
early in the day, and throughout the
day the walk in front of theClifton house
presented a lively scene. The county
candidates were out in force and there
was great deal of handshaking going
on, with private conferences. A good
many of the delegates wanted to 90 to
the Duluth convention, and this seemed
to furnish the topic of chief interest,
even more so than whom the different
aspirants favored for state officers, al
though the different candidates for gov.
ernor had friends on the ground.
DR.. Andrews, after neat little
speech, read the official call. He then
said that he knew of no states having
been prepared, and if there was any he
wanted the convention to help him break
it, This statement was greeted with APP
plause.
