Brapvy. Second For This has been a week prolific of politics in Grand Rapids and Itasca county. The anxiety and expect- ancy and ambition pf those who would serve the’ county in official capacity has either been satisfied or utterly destroyed. The Democrats and Republicans have each convened in county convention and today the nominees are looking forward to November 3, and making preparations to do a large amount of fence build- ing and repairing all over this im- mense county. And as the Herald- Review goes to press, the Populists are selecting material with which to go before the public and ask its en- dorsement. What the result of their deliberations will be cannot now be accurately foretold. The two tickets selected on Thursday are both repres- entative of the parties. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The Democratic county conven- tion was called to order on ‘Thursday, September 10, promptly at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, by the ehairman, E. C. Kiley. After reading the official call, Mr. Kiley was chosen temporary chairman and A. E. Wilder. secretary. After the appointment of the usual committees on credentials, perma- nent organization and rules of order, resolutions, etc., a committee repre- senting the Populist party was recog- nized by the chair. Mr. C. E. Lee- man was the spokesman. He stated ‘that inasmuch as the two parties— Democrats and Populists—throughout the country were consolidating their forces in a common cause it was the desire of the Populists of Itasca county to make a similar fusion, and, in his opinion, both local tickets would be greatly benefitted and strengthened. He suggested that a committee be ap- pointed by the Democrats to confer with a committee of Populists for the purpose of bringing about a union of forces. A motion prevailed for the appointment of such a committee and the chair named Henry Logan, Charles Kearney and John Rellis. After a conference which lasted about three-quarters of an hour a majority ‘of the committee reported adversely to the combination suggested, and the conventlon approved the report. dt appeared that the great difficulty which confronted the Democratic conferees was their inability to agree on some office that might be left. | vacant. The Democratic candidates had done the usual amount of “hust- ling” and felt that ther chances for nomination were too sure to surrender at the last moment, Our Populist friends were very reasonable and would have been satisfied with the office of clerk of court. THE NOMINEES. AUDITOR. It was only recently that William C. LaCroix consented to the use of his name before the Democratic con- vention in connection with the office of county auditor, His popularity and competency was recognized by all who knew him—and he is known from one end of the county to the other. When his name was _pre- sented to the convention a storm of applause arose which clearly indicat- that he would be the choice of the itasca county Democracy, W. F. Sims was also placed in nomination, and while he received a very flatter- ing vote, after the first ballot his friends withdrew his name and the nomination was made unanimous. TREASURER, It was conceded that “Tommy” Welsh, as he is popularly. known. would be the unanimouis choice ot his party, and when his name was mentioned for the office it was seconded by a dozen delegates in chorus, and a motion to make the nomination by acclamation, was car- ned by a rising vote. T. J. Welsh will make an honorable campaign through the county and _his extensive acquaintance will make him a strong candidate, who will add strength to the entire ticket. SHERIFF. M. L, Toole’s popularity precluded the possibility of any opposition to MARCHING 10 VICTORY Hon. Charles A. Towne’s Eleqnent Address Increases His Forces. ITASCA’S GREAT AUDIENCE Esteems His Logie of Free Silver Coinage and His Efforts to Enhance Lumber Industry and the Gen+ eral Welfare. A splendid reception was given ‘to Hon. Charles A. Towne when he arrived here Thursday evening. The Grand Rapids brass band played inspiring music and a committee oy prominent Itasca county citizens took the distinguished leader in charge as he stepped upon the platform, which was crowded by the large con- course of people who sought even a glimpse of Mr. Towne in their en- thusiastic desire to do him honor. When the cheers had subsided the pro- cession moved forward to the Hotel Gladstone where the guest of the evening shook hands with hundreds of citizens. He became so absorbed in the friendly greetings that he had very little time left for supper before pro- ceeding tc the hall. : At Village hall the crowd was the largest and most enthusiastic that has ever been seen in Itasca county. It overflowed upon the stairs and out upon Leland avenue. Business men were noticeable among those who secured seats early and a good many ladies were observable 1m the audience. ‘The earnest purpose of the people was plainly written upon every coun- tenance and gave way to enthusiasm when Mr, Towne and a few members of the committee made their way through the crowd and appeared upon the platform. The stage was filled to its utmost capacity with pio- neer Itascans and their wives and daughters. Marshal Liasure advanc- ed to the foothghts and called for three cheers for Hon, Charles <A. Towne. They were given by the as- semblage with hearty good will. The pleasant task of introducing the speaker fell to the lot of Attorney F. F. Price, who performed the duty very acceptably, saying: “Ladies and gentlemen, fellow-citi- zens of Itasca county:—In viewing him for the nomination to the office | this vast and enthusiastic assemblage, of sheriff. The delegates responded unanimously to the mention of his name, and he was selected for the third term by acclamation. This splendid endorsement of his eminent setvices was emphasized yesterday by the action of the Republican con- vention when he was nominated by a vote of 39 to 22. W. C. Tyndall and Charles Millaney were also named for the office, but Mr. Millaney withdrew which surpasses any gathering of people that has ever before been held in this county, I am filled with won- der, and the question naturally arises: What is the reason for this grand ex- pression of the fnendship of the people? Claims have been made upon the street corners within the past week or two that the cause of tree silver is de- clining and dying out, but, tellow- citizens, this splendid audience evi- Continue on Pago 8, Contmued on Page 4. POPULISTS NOMINATE. Cottvention This Afternoon Selects a County Ticket. The Populist county convention ad. journed at 3:30, having placed in nomination the following _ ticket: Treasurer, A. A. Kremer; sheriff, John G, Fraser; register of deeds, A, B. Clare; Attorney, F. F, Price; judge of probate, E. C. Kiley; clerk of court, I. D. Rassmussen; superintendent of | schools, Mrs. O, ‘H. Stilson; surveyor, C. A. Nutter; coroner, Dr, H. B, Ehle; court commissioner, George Walker. The offices of county auditor and county commissioner were left vacant, to be filled by the county committee. Five delegates were chosen to repres- ent the county at the legislative con- vention to be held at Aitkin on ‘the 2gth inst, REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Defenders of the Single Gold Standard Nominate Candidates for County Offices. Auditor—H. R. King. Treasurer—A. A. Kremer. Sheriff—M. L. ‘Toole. Register of Deeds—A, B. Clare. County Attorney—C. C. McCarthy. Judge of Probate—E. A. Arnold. Surveyor—J. A. Brown. Coroner—H. B. Ehle, Clerk of Court—Wade Blaker, Supt. of Schools—Mrs.0O, H. Stilson. Commissioner District No. 2—Chas. E. Seelye. Court Commissioner—G. F. Myers. The foregoing is the ticket nomin- ated yesterday by the Republicans of Itasca county. The convention was by no means as harmonious as that of the Democrats the day before. In thé convention there was an under- current of disappointment throughout the proceedings that broke out in no uncertain tones after the adjournment. For treasurer, Arthur Kremer had no opposition, nor did A. B. Clare after the first ballot when Mr. Marvin withdrew. James A. Quigg was placed before the conyention for the nomination of auditor, but was de- feated on the first ballot. It is said by some of his friends that he may be- come an independent candidate for that office. I, D. Rassmussen, who was defeated by Clerk of Court Wade Blaker for that office, 1s already out with a petition and will run in- dependent. W. C. Tyndail, who was defeated by M. L. Toole for the shnevalty nomination has drawn out entirely. C. L. Pratt, who confidently expected the nomination for county attorney was defeated by McCarthy by a vote averaging more than 3 to 1, the result being 15 to 49. It is said that he} too, will run independent These independent candidates will likely cause considerable confusion in the ranks ofthe party will do the balance of — the ticket but little good. However, the democrats will be the gamers and therefore have no reason to ycomplain, — | p= } i that -
