They Denounce Everything Democratic and Declare Democratic and Declare for High License. for High License. This Alone Insures a Demo- cratic Victory in the Em- cratic Victory in the Em- pire State. Saratoga, N. V., Aug. 28.- The state Kepublican convention assembled in the Casino at noon to-day to nomi- nate candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, judge of the court of appeals and four electors at large. It was but a few minutes past 12 o'clock when the assemblage was called to order. Key. Dr. Leach, of Albany, offered prayer. Gen. B. F. Tracey was elected temporary chairman, and on taking the chair he addressed the convention at considerable length. At the conclusion of Gen. Tracey's ad- dress motions were submitted and adopted providing foi the appointment by the chair of the committees on cre- dentials, permanent organization, reso- lutions and electors at large. A resolu- tion, which proposed to protest against the insertioirin the platform of a high license plank, met with the approval of a majority of the delegation, but it was finally decided to leave that question to the conven- tion, which took a recess until 4 o'clock. The convention reassembled at half past 4 o'clock. The committee on-cre- dentials was called unon for its reuort. which was submitted and adopted. It favors the sitting delegates from each of the contested counties. Mr. Husted presented the report of the committee of permanent orcadization, recommend- ing for chairman Gen. Ceo. S. Batch- eller, of Saratoga. The report was adopted and Gcn.Batchellcr was escorted to the chair. Gen. Batcheller gracefully acknowledged the honor tendered him and eulogized the Republican party as one representing the best PATRIOTISM OF Til?: PEOPLE. The Republican platform, he said, supports the interest of America. The Democratic platform and president rep- resent the interests of Europe. Gen. Harrison would not pusillanimously give up our • fishing rights to Canada. He would not have to search among the works of foreign econ- omists for an American industrial policy. President Cleveland had been elected on the plea of reform. Great faith had been placed in this plea. But he had proved like faith itself, "the substance of things hoped for, the evi- dence of things not seen." Two things standout in his policy—hatred for the men who put down the rebellion and hostility to protection. Upon the conclusion of Gen. Batchel- ler's address the common electors at large reported the names of William H. Seward, of Cayuga, James S. T. Stran- ahan, of Kings. The report was adopt- ed and the gentlemen named were de- clared elected. Gen. Curtis offered a resolution, that In the death of Gen. Sheridan the world has lost one of Its greatest military cap- tains: the armies of the United States an officer who willalways be regarded as one of the most distinguished com- manders; the comrades of the late war one of their most brilliant and patriotic leaders; his family a faithful husband aad a good father;" and that the conven- tion tender to Mrs. Sheridan express- ions of their sincere CONDOLENCE AND SYMPATHY. It was adopted by a rising vote in silence. Nominations were then in order, and Senator Sloan, of Oswego, nominated the Hon. Warner Miller for governor. Senator Fassett seconded the nomina- tion, and was followed by Gen. N. M. Curtis, for St. Lawrence county. Oneida county also seconded the nomination. The nomination of Mr. Miller was made unanimous by acclamation, the dele- gates rising and cheering lustily. A committee was appointed to notify Mr. Miller of his nomination, and request his presence. Commissioner C. N. 'Irain tor. of New York, then nomina- ted Col. S. Van Rennselaer Cruder, of New York, for lieutenant governor. Air. Smith, of Buffalo, nominated Col. John B. Weber, of Erie county. "WILL HUMPHIMSELF. Candidate Miller Denounces the Democracy ami Proposes to Make a lively Fight. The order of nomination was here sus- pended upon the appearance of Warner Miller, who was escorted to the plat- form with enthusiastic cheers and ap- plause. Mr. Miller addressed the con- vention as follows: "1accept your nomination with a full appreciation of the responsibilities'* and burdens which so with it. I believe we are a united party, and that I am to have unanimous Buoport, or 1 would not be your candidate. 1congratulate you that we are to have a contest this year upon principles and not upon can- didates. The Chicago platform is one Of ' THE BROADEST AMERICANISMS. It distinctly announces in stronger terms than ever used before in any platform the doctrine of protection to American industries and labor. We accept the challenge given us on that question. The platform is equally strong Inits declarations in regard to the mo- teclion of the rights of American citi- zens at home or abroad. And it is equally pronounced in its deter- mination to maintain a wise and lust diplomacy in all of its deal- ings with foreign nations, unmoved oy neither bluster nor anger. This convention will heartily ratify that platform. In addition to this we enter a great state contest on principles only second in importance to those of the national contest. The party willdoubt- less declare in favor os seeking out fraud and corruption in ail government departments. There is another im- portant question: Whether the reac- tionary forces shall hold control of the government and STOP THE CAR OF PROGRESS which the Republican party has kept constantly in motion for twenty-five rears. The Republican party In the past may have halted at times; it may. at times have stood still for a moment, Jjut never in its history has it moved backward. Shall the party which has led every reform for the past twenty- five years continue to maintain the gov- ernment it has established, whether the party which has made of our people one great nation, which has estab- lished universal freedom and suffrage, which saved the Union; which organ- ized our finances so that we met the stupendous expenses of war, and before the war had closed had paid one- half of the vast debt and maintained the credit of the nation so that it stood high- er than that of any other goverment in the world whether the party of Lincoln and Grant and the great ideas which they set-' in motion shall still control thfs government, or whether it shall be turned over to the reactionary force who propose to turn the wheels back- ward and undo so far as . our material and industrial interests are concerned everything that has been done by us. Do not forget that we STILL CONTROL THE GOVERNMENT through the senate, and I believe the country rejoices to-day that we have had this control, for by it we have checked the first attempt made in twenty-five years to destroy our industries and our commerce. The senate has also stood in the path of a truculent administration, which, through a treaty, proved its will- ingness to surrender the rights of a large portion of our citizens to a foreigu gov- ernment. The senate will in the near fut- ure prove itself equal to the emergency and willconduct the foreign affairs of the government in such a manner as to meet the approbation of all citizens. 1 believe the country will judge and con- demn the present administration. But the final result depends vfcry laeely on your action in New York. Do you pro- pose to make good the .pledge given on your behalf at Chicago? If so itwill re- quire constant and unceasing work from this day until the polls close. It will necessitate the bringing out of every Kepublican in the state. It will necessitate the increasing of the Re- publican majority in every Kepublican county. Do you propose to make this pledge good? You have chosen me as your leader. I now pledge you that in the position where you have placed me 1will know no rest from now until the polls close, and that whatever bf power or ability I may have as a political leader shall be used for the accomplish- ment of this much-desired result." A. RICKETY STRUCTURE. The Platform. Will Send Candi- date Miller to His Political Grave. There were various seconds of the different "nominees, and, finally, at 7 o'clock the roll of counties was called for the first ballot. The roll call proved beyond doubt that Col. Cruger had received the nomination, and the friends of the contestants having with- drawn in his favor, the nomination of Col. Cruger was made unanimous. Judge Rumsey, of Steubensville, was nominated lor judge of the court of ap- peals. The committee on resolutions was then called, and the chairman, ex- Congressman Payne, read the report as follows : First— Republicans of Ne_»v York in state convention assembled cordially accept and approve the declaration of principles adopted by the national con- vention in Chicago in June last, as a just and adequate statement of the posi- tion of the Republican party concerning - national affairs. Second We heartily ratify the nomina- tion of that tried statesman and soldier, Ben- jamin Harrison, for president of the United States, and welcome with gratification the \u25a0choice of that worthy and eminent citizen of New York, Levi P. " Morton, for vice presi- dent, and we give assurance to our fellow Republicans throughout the Union that the thirty-six electoral vo»e? of this common- wealth shall be cast lor these candidates by a majority which federal patronage, allied with fraud and corruption in the metropolis, cannot overcome. Third—The Republican senators In con gress in rejecting the treaty relative to the lishenes negotiated with Great Britain acted in accordances with the dictates of a just patriotism and correctly asserted American rights and the national honor, while the message of President Cleveland transmitted on the 23d of August is a confession that his administration has been grossly negligent ot its duties in the protection of American fisheries, and has invited new annoyances and aggressions on the part of the Canadians by the failures to make manful protests and to employ the peaceful means of self-de- fence committed to him. The Republican party favors a foreign policy which shall do no wrong to the weakest neighbor, and shall brook no Indignity from any power on earth, and by insisting on fair play on sea and land shall, through justice, insure peace With all nations. Fourth— The legislature of 1888 have proof of the purpose and effort of the Re- I publican party to enact laws for the best in- | terests of the people. The reduction in the rate of state taxation bears witness to the spirit which guided legislation. The investi- gation into trusts and combinations, bymak- ing their evils known points the way to ef- fectual remedies. The examination into the conduct of affairs in connection with the New.York acqueduct,still inprogress, has ex- posed abuses which call for reparation, aud has given warning how the campaign ex- penses of a Democratic governor may be met out of the contracts paid by the taxpayers. Fifth—The purity of the ballot, the se- curity of elections, and the guarantee of honest returns are a foundation of our free institutions, and good citizens of all parties should gladly aid in all practical measures lor promotiug these conditions and for checking all hostile and corrupting influ- ences. The Republican party favor* the payment by the stale of the legitimate expenses for ballots and their dis- tribution, and the punishment by dis- franchisement and other severe penalties of bribery and frauds at elections. The ef- forts of the last legislature in this direction deserve commendation, while Gov. Hill merits censure and rebuke for his veto of a measure aiming to purity the ballot and to assure absolute independence to vote at the polls. The time has come for an apj-o.il to the people, and for action for elections free from the control of money and guaranteeing to every elector the right to vote as he pleases and to have the vote honestly counted. Six The Republican party unequivo- cally condemns the course of Gov. Hillin obstructing by his vetoes acts for increasing the fees for licenses, by which a larger share of the cost of government might be levied on the liquor traffic; and we approve the efforts of the Republicans in the last legis- lature upon the liquor question, especially on passing the act nullUied by such executive tive action to restrict that traffic by charges which would liftsome of the burdens of tax- ation caused by the liquor traffic from the home aud farm, and we -believe that such charges should be advanced to standards similar to those successfully enforced in other states under Republican control. Seventh— Recent investigations make clear the necessity for the effectual enforcement of the laws for the prevention of the impor- tation of contract labor. The national ad- ministration is grievously at fault for this failure to guard against the degredation of American labor. The Republican party de-. mands furtner legislation to prohibit the in- flux of pauper and criminal immigrants. whose incomings brings upon our working people a compe lion both unjust and disast- rous. Eighth—ln view ot the recent revelations showing the abuse cf our naturalization and immigration laws, ' we desire and urge a thorough revision ot said laws, in order that our country and fellow citizens may be pro- tected from the pauper and criminal classes of other countries. Ninth—We favor the enactment of prison laws w_>ich, while providing for the employ- ment of prisoners, shall prevent the product of their labor from competing with that of wage workers. Tenth—Relieving that our canals arc most Important factors in preserving a wholesome competition in the carrying trade of the country and inmaintaining the commercial greatness of our state, we indorse the policy which has beeu established by successive Republican legislatures of improving canals, thus maintaining their efficiency as regula- tors of freight rates, and securing to the Em- pire state the commerce to which it is enti- tled. . - - Col. Cruger, addressing the.conven- tion, declared his belief that the Repub- lican party had always been successful when it took a decided and unmistaka- ble position. The parly's attitude could not now be mistaken, and he had no doubt of its triumph on the question of protection. He thanked the convention for the honor bestowed on him. The conveutiouat7:i3 adjourned sine die. GHILDRENGREMATED. Two Babes Burned Alive in Sight of Their Mother. Mother.

Butte, Mont., Aug. 28.— News reached this city to-day of a fearful ac- cident in Brown's gulch yesterday, by which two little boys lost their lives. The victims '- are sons of David Morgan,, and only the merest des- tails' as to how they came to their death are obtainable. Itappears that they had been playing in the barn by themselves. Their mother was sick and no one else was at home. She heard cries from the children, and on tarry- ingout to the barn found that the whole interior WAS INA BLAZE. The older of the two boys, aged four years, was standing in a buggy on the floor and tjie fire was all around him. On seeing his mother, he stretched out his " hands toward her, uttered a cry of pain and fell into the flames. The other little fellow was but two years old. The supposition is that they were playing with matches upon the hay, and in some way set it on fire. BURNED TO A. CRISP.

LOVE PROMPTED THE DEED. The Only Excuse John Flaherty Offers for Murdering Hattie Wilson. Special to the Globe. Huron, Dak., Aug. 28.— The coroner's jury this morning in the case of Hattie Wilson, killed by John Flaherty yester- day, returned a verdict that the killing was malicious" and premeditated. When the warrant was read to Flaherty in his cell this morning he evinced no surprise or regret, treating the matter with in- difference. He has little to say, except that he killed the woman because he loved her and she would not go with him. His wound is quite sore, but will soon heal. His two brothers, Mike and Thomas, arrived from Watertown this morning. They will prepare a defense for him. The body of the woman was buried this afternoon, her associates providing a fine- casket, hearse, car- riages, etc., and paying all expenses. RIPE FOR A LYNCHING. Mapletonians Came Close to Met- ingOut Summary Justice to Two Brakemen. Special to the Globe. Fargo, Dak., Aug. 28.—Lynching of the two brakemen accused of ejecting a tramp from a train yesterday, whereby causing his death, was averted to-day only through the coolness of the officers conveying the men to Mapleton to at- tend the inquest. City Marshal Bur- dick, of Mapleton, rushed excitedly up to Sheriff Barnes and District Attorney Pollock, who had the train bearing the brakemen stopped a short distance from Mapleton, and proceeded in ad- vance of the brakemen and demanded them, saying, "I want them and de- mand their release to me immediately." This the officers refused to do, and aftei assuring the large and excited crowd gathered at the depot that they had come to Mapleton to ascertain the facts in the case, and that if the men were found guilty they would be dealt with according to law, succeeded in sat- isfying them enough to conclude it safe to advance with the two brakemen and proceeded with the inquest. It was shown that the brakeman had warned two men to keep off the train at Hag- gait, but on approaching Canfield no- ticed the men aboard and started to- ward them. When about two car- lengths from them they noticed one man suddenly disappear between the cars. The partner of Bejamin substantiated this statement, and the verdict of the jury was that deceased came to his death through no fault of the railroad company. Ittranspires that the excited pitch to which Mapletonians had been raised was caused, by a highly colored story aliened to have been told by Ben- jamin's partner on the train. TEMPERANCE AND PURITY.

Fortunately for Morrow, this morning before going to the field, he took $100 from the house and put it In his pocket.

Justices — Keferred to executive committee. ; This is to be known as the state ticket of the United Labor party, or, as it is called in St. Paul, "the Merriam an- nex." The following platform was adopted: • * We, the Farm and Labor party, in conven- tion assembled at St.Paul. Minn., Aug. _!S. 18S8. have adopted the following preamble and resolutions as a platform: We recognize only two parties, labor and capital, and the oniy* issue at stake between • those parties is: Shall the people keep the fruits of their industry or shall capital en- slave the many by its exactions? ' Whereas, Our experience iv » the past has nroven that cabals and rings have obtained control of the various political parties, and manipulated them in the interest ofmonopo- lies and corporations to the injury of society, and the degradation of the tillers of the soil and all actual producers of wealth— the farmer forced to mortgage his farm, and finally to become a tenant at will: and the mechanic, mill operative, miner and laborer degraded to live onan average rate of wages of $300 per year, in tenant houses, often two .or more families in a single room : therefore, *" In view of these facts, we demand of the .nation: ' j First— the money- needed for ex- changes be issued direct to the people with- out the intervention of banks. - : . Second— That while we are opposed to re- ducing the labor population of" the United States to the level of the impoverished work- men of Europe, we are, nevertheless, in fa- vor of a thorough revision of the present tariff and a reduction of its rates whenever the same tends to enrich capital, and we favor placing on the free list all such articles as are .made the basis ot trusts which rob and impoverish the people. Third The forfeiture of all unearned land grants, and that land monopoly shall be abol- ished by just and appropriate legislation; and we are opposed to alien and non-resident ownership of American soil; and we believe further that the government should restore nature's bounties that are stored within the bowels of the earth for the use of the human family to the purpose for which they were created. Fourth— transportation of commodi- ties and passengers by railroads shall be con- trolled by national and state legislatures in the interest of the people. Fifth— the interstate commerce law shall be so changed as to effectually prevent discriminations in favor of corporations, in- dividuals and localities, and extortion by railroad, sleeping car, express and other companies acting as common carriers, be- tween the states and we insists on the gov- ernment establishing and operating a system of telegraphy in connection with the post- office department. .From the state we demand: First— The adoption of a system of voting embodying the principle of the Australian law, which abolishes the caucus system and secures to each voter an opportunity to cast a free and untrammeled ballot. Second— That the right to vote is inherent in citizenship without regard to sex. Third — The reduction of freight and pas- senger rates on railroads to a sum sufficient to pay only the operating and maintaining expenses, when economically administered, and a fair rate of interest on "the actual cost of the roads, thus saving to the producers of the state several million, now wrung from them to pay interest on fictitious stock. Fourth The enactment of a law allowing the mortgagor to deduct from the amount due the mortgagee the amount of all taxes paid upon that part of the assessed valuation of the estate taxed] represented by the mort- gage. :.-rtTHlfl^rt_j<WW"BMßWffitßi Fifth— The enactment of a factory inspec- tion law for the protection of the health and safety ot employes in mines, factories, work- shops and places ofbusiness. Sixth The enactment o*-» law defining the liability of employers for injuries sus- tained by employes in cases where proper safeguards have not been used, in occupa- tions dangerous to life, limb or health. Seventh— That eight hours shall constitute a day's work inall towns and cities,' on state 'and municipal work, and all such work shall be done by the day and not by contract. Eighth—The enactment of a law regulat- ing the employment of detectives and peace officers, aud forbidding the employment of secret or private detectives by other than the state or municipal governments. . Ninth— The enactment of a law to enforce ; the payment of wages weekly in lawful money by the employers of labor in . cities, and by railroad companies and other corpor- ations*, and at the hands of congress. Tenth—Whereas, Any rate of interest above the average increase of wealth of the . nation is robbery, therefore we demand a re- duction ofinterest in this state to a reasona- ble rate. flfffflfflfiWW^_Hlflffi_M DELEGATES.

I have been here two days and in the short time given me have earnestly labored with the leaders of this convention to prevent any nomination being, made here to- day.

I have thought and still think that itis in that direction that we should turn our efforts and not toward a state ticket. -:>--' i "The battle that industrial labor is fighting here is the contest of civiliza- tion. . - . ' "Men are boiurht and sold Inthis Mm nesota legislature, and when such things occur itis time to be up and doing, "I can indorse your platform with the warmest words. It meets my approval. "We must struggle now to raise the laboring man; to bring himup to the condition of the middle classes. It is not alone our duty to do this, but the government should bring its great in- fluence to bear in that direction. "Now, my friends, I wish you to think over candidly what you have done. If my candidacy will help your cause I am with you. If on the contrary you think my declination would aid you I will tender it, considering at the same time that in being tendered this nomination 1 have received the greatest honor that any state can confer udou any man." THE ITCH _ -. .- That Has Seized Donnelly Again. ne really could not refuse. It ..might make his friends feel bad,- then he was under pledge to Merriam and last, the itch seized him. The last was what settled.it with Donnelly. He might have held out against all other solicitations to take the nomination, but when this broke out he was gone. The itch for office. It tickled -his scalp, and worried him under the arms. It started the perspiration and made the flesh on his chunky legs quiver. His toes curled up, and all over him stole the tantalizing, teasing sensation. Could mortal man resist?. Tiue though he was but to combat a windmill, and the warrant for his doing so came from doubtful sources, still it was a warrant and here we go—belter skelter— with monopoly—up with the red flag—hang all aristocrats—Mer- riam and the poor man's cause forever! So Donnelly waddled up Jackson street and on to Seventh, climbed the stairs to Labor hall with many a pout and puff, made his little speech and came away. He was happy. He hugged the phantom tossed to him; and, after all, it is something for him to play with. The campaign would be dull without Don- nelly, and as he hurts the farmers more by his candidacy than anyone else, no one need worry but the farmers. THE DEAL. Donnelly, Merriam and Gilman Against the Field. The proceedings of yesterday fully confirmed the letter to Sabin which the Globe published. Donnelly is in the field not to be elected, hut to aid Merriam as against Scheffer. If Scheffer is regularly nominated next week, Donnelly will decline the nomination as he will also ifScheffer is not nominated and does not run inde- pendent. . But if Merriam is nominated and Scheffer runs independent, then Don- nelly will remain at the head of the labor ticket. He can poll more farmer votes than Scheffer and the latter" in an independ- ent canvass, who will have only the German vote to poll. The natural re- sult of such a triangular contest will be the election of Merriam. This is just what Stanford Newell and Merriam put the job up for. As far as they can see, it will benefit them anyway that it works. -:•. : Donnelly will be expected to help the legislative ticket, also, for which Mer- riam is already reaching out. Thus, in the event of Merriam's defeat for the gubernatorial nomination, he still has the United States senate in view. * There is nothing more than this to the farm and labor party, which originated in the brain of a man notorious as a political scalawag. The thinness of the organization could be seen at a glance yesterday. , Scarcely a dozen members of the Farmers' alliance were present. One member from Chisago county, and who held several proxies, withdrew in dis- gust. J. P. McGaughey was the only brainy and strong labor representative present and his name on the ticket will provoke enthusiasm among those who know him best. .-•'., • From beginning to end the conven- tion no more represented the farm and labor of Minnesota than Donnelly does the politics of this state. HOW RECEIVED. The Scheffer Men Laugh at It Heartily. The Scheffer allies think Donnelly's nomination 'j a ' huge joke, although a few of tbe more serious concede that he can do them harm. - The labor and farm ,vote of the state two years ago was es- timated at 55,000 combined, of which 30,000 belonged to the farmers. But itis not organized to any : degree of efficiency, ' and would not form a ticket ofjts own poll over 15,000 votes, , probably less, for every vote cast for ; the ticket would be thrown away. McGrugkey would poll a good vote in MlAmi II «ny. jWHi ifrHWIIWI.I llWni» .W»'l' t I'lll-Awi'MHi' ti \^^ HIC JACET IGNATIUS DONNELLY. IGNATIUS DONNELLY. Poet, Punster, Juggler.

Grigsby acted as chairman of the convention. . . The proceedings were tame and splr- itless. After the morning recess the state ticket given above was nomina- ted, but not without protest. Aminority element in the con- vention favored making no nomina- tions but that of governor, but the majority ruled. Donnelly's speech was singularly with- out life. He accept- ed the nomination. St. Paul, Minneapolis.v Duluth, Still- water and Winona. , ...-V In the farming districts Donnelly would show strength— fact, enough, under certain conditions, to prove a boomerang to the Republican ticket. There will be fivestate tickets in the field, in all probabilities,- headed by Wilson, Merriam or McGill, Harrison, Scheffer and Donnelly. The Pioneer Press says the total vote this year will be 250,000, and Stanford Newel estimates the Prohibition vote at 28,000. . ;;v// At the very least, the Democrats, who polled 100,00 votes or mor^ in 1886, will receive the same this year. - Scheffer running independent would be safe for nearly a half of the German vote and some farmers besides— say in all 15,000. Conceding, to Donnelly IC,OOO votes, we have then the following result: Democratic v0te......... 100,000 Prohibition vote... 28,000 Donnelly vote.- 10,0(0 Scheffer vote 15,000 Total.. 153,000 Total vote cast ........ 250,000 Leaving for ihe Republicans 07,000 Democratic pluralityover Republican ticket 1 3,000 The situation is that to a dot, and the election of Eugene Wilson fairly as- sured from the outlook. "Will Ames Support Him? Minneapolis politicians were wonder- ing how the nomination of. Donnelly willaffect the position of Ames and the campaign. It will be remembered that Donnelly devoted nearly two months to Ames in ihe latter's canvass against Washburn for Congress. It is still gen- erally believed, however, that Ames will support the entire Democratic ticket, although he must, of course, re- member Donnelly's service to him with gratitude. TO-DAY. Ramsey Gives Scheffer a Solid Delegation. The Ramsey County Republican con- vention will-be held at Market hall this morning. Twenty delegates to the state convention, one to bo selected. Capt. Castle will be the chairman. The delegation selected, will be solid for Scheffer, and go out under tho unit rule. The affair promises to be tame as Schef- fer, has 81, out of tho 100 delegates in the convention. THEY MEET To Enthuse .an Aroused Demo- cracy. The Democratic state central commit- tee meets at the. Merchants' hotel at noon to-day to organize, elect a chair- man and a secretary. The first plans of the campaign will also be matured and the committee meet Eugene Wilson and the other can- didates. Alarge influx of state Demo- crats is expected. The committee is composed of— At Large— W. Lawrence, D. W. Lawler, M. W. Glenn. First Judicial District— C. Stringer, of Dakota. Second— Hamm, of Ramsey., Third H. C. Shephard, of Winona. Fourth— M. Foote, ofHennepin. Fifth— S. G. Crocker, of Rice. Sixth— A. R. Pfau, of Blue Earth. Seventh— Shea, of Otter Tail. Eighth— W. T.

Fourteenth— William Angiim, ofPolk. Fifteenth A. G. Broker, of -Wadena. Sixteenth— H. O'Hara.of BigStone, The chairman of the committee is very likely to be Mr.Lawrence. The secretaryship may go to D. W. Lawler, there being a proposition under consideration that hereafter the secre- tary of the committee be a member of it. HERE IS THE TRIO. The Three Committeemen Named by E. Wilson. By virtue of the authority conferred upon him by the Democratic state con- vention, Hon. E. M. Wilson, the nom- iifte for governor, yesterday announced the appointment of the three members- at-large of the state central convention. They are: James W. Laurence, Minneapolis, .. Daniel W. Lawler, St. Paul. Michael W. Glenn, Minneapolis. \u25a0 The notifications were sent out dur- ing the afternoon and the. appointees will meet with the - committee at St.: Paul at noon to-day. "I offered a posi- tion on the committee to J. N. Castle," said Mr. .Wilson, "but he declined on the ground -that his private business wouldnot permit him to. give the .re- quired time to committee work. Mr. Lawrence is my partner,and I appointed him for obvious reasons, lie . has had tain line oi voters dependent on him, and he alone can .keep them in line.! Mr. Lawler. of St. Paul, was appointed i because he best represents all interests over there. lam confident he will be • satisfactory to all factions. ' In these I three appointments I have endeavored I to conserve the best interests of the \ party." t- rj COMMENT ABOUT MINNEAPOLIS. ';V'j The news of the appointment was ' quickly circulated about the city, and the choice was variously commented upon. It is evident, in the first place, that undue prominence has been given the matter, and itis equally certain that the opinion is general that the conven- j tion made a blunder in saddling the! duty on the nominee. It was apparent that he could not but disappoint many! and displease more, whomever he might' appoint. The only appointment that. created any discussion was that of W. W. Glenn. J. W. Lawrence, as Mr. Wilson's partner and friend, was a' very natural choice, and excited none ' but favorable comment. For a week! at least it has been geuer-i ally known that Glenn would receive.] the appointment, and the matter has since been so thoroughly discussed that' little was left to be said last night. j Glevnn's friends were jubilant, conserv- ative Democrats divided and doubtful, • and the Ames wing intensely disgusted, ! as might have been expected. Among the more conservative element . there \u25a0 was a strong disposition to accept the appointments as all right and make the best of them. '"The split was as wide as : it could be made," said one, "ahd Mr. \ Wilson was doubtless influenced by a desire to make the best of what was! left." There was considerable wonder, also, as to how Lawler would strike the city hall wing in St. Pcul, but the gen- ' eral trend of the comment was that the appointee was a brilliant and capable young man aud would give satisfaction. HEADQUARTER S. On Friday McGill willopen his head- quarters—rooms 13, 14, 15 and 10, Mer- chants hotel. Merriam opens his the same day in rooms A, B, C, etc. Schef- fer opens that day also in the big par- lors on the second floor, arid rooms 5, 6 and 4. .Vv rfv/ -;.':- STILL LEADS. STILL LEADS.
