The work of the Minot conven-
ton was carried out in detail ac-
cording to the program arranged
in the caucus which finally secured
the signatures Of sufficient num-
ber Of counties to secure the bal
snce of power. The caucus was
called to order by Jud LaMoure
and the following counties and
delegates were signed UP:
Adams, 2; Benson, Z; Billings,
:; Burleigh, -; Cass, %; Cavalier,
IA: Dunn, 5; Bottineau, 8; En-
mons, s; Hettinger, 5; kidder, 3;

Towner, 6; Williams, 4. Total
253. Necessary to choice 224.
In all matters concerning the
material questions before the con-
yention the counties voted as they
had been signed up.
The first contest came on mo-
ton to appoint committee on
resolutions, r. n. Stevens, OF
Burleigh county moving that all
resolutions be referred to the COM
mittee. j. Austin Regan of Wells
county and J. B. Wineman OF
Grand Forks county made oppo-
sition to this, claiming such action
would stop delegates from offering
resolutions on the floor of the con-
yention. The chair was asked for
ruling in the matter. Senator

resolutions would be in the hands

commentators for national COM
mitteman, and it developed a dis
cussion on what was the main
bone of contention of the meeting.
Some of the stalwarts were GER
tain that it would be impossible
and unconstitutional for the con-
vention to take any such action
and others objected to putting it
in the rules, and expressed will
lingness to have it amended to
separately in due course. The
amendment was defeated by 1SO
to 26O and on this proposition
LaMoure and his delegation voted
with the majority and against the
proposition which LaMoure favor
ed early during the controversy.
After the adoption of the resolu-
ton Col. Prake presented the
name of Frank H. Sprague, of
Walsh, for committeeman and the
motion to recommend him was
lost as stated by a vote of 1873
to 26O.
Two men especially compelled
admiration by the discharge of
their duties in connection with the
convention P. j. Nc
Cumber, chairman of the conven-
ton, and L. B. Hanna, chairman
of the state central committee. To
their fairness, good judgment and
courteousness can be quite largely
attributed the fortunate escape
from factional conflict which
would leave wounds that will not
heal in short time.
Senator McCumber made a
model presiding officer. He in
sisted that anyone who wanted to
speak could be heard and in his
rulings was careful to protect the
minority, SO that the applause
with which he was so frequently
greeted came generally from the
insurgent side.
L. B. Hanna, as chairman Of
the state central committee, hac
the difficult position of an arbitel
between opposing delegations act
uated by personal feeling against
each other. His conservatism
and magnanimity were so appar
ent that he held in check the tenn
pers of the excited partisans. A
result the hearing of the contest
from Mclean, Dickey, Eddy anc
Rolette counties were conducted
with dignity surprising under
the circumstances.

Appear to be Official.

Dodgers have been thrown around
in Keokuk upon which are printed
the news that the Trades and Labor
Assembly of Burlington has decided
that Tracy is fair to union labor.
The union men of Keokuk, who
have picked these bills up off the
sidewalks and from the cutters, are
wondering why the circulars do not
give the resolution which is said to
have been adopted.
They are also wondering why the
circular is not signed by the officers
of the assembly.
While they are not saying that tho
circular is untrue, they are wonder
ing why it is gotten up in such a slip.

such resolution was adopted, the
resolution would be printed in full
and bear the signatures of the presi-
