Convention Gossip Notes by the Way
Delegates and press crowding the rink entrance caused the sidewalk to collapse yesterday at 2 o'clock. The crowd included Mesdames Mellette Kellam Sullivan Taylor and others with judges Bennett Kellam Indian agent Roger and senator Ericson. The Mathews delegation dispute sparked debate as the chair admitted their entitlement after the credentials report. Sheldon’s speech drew praise and press numbers set a record. Tickets for today go on sale at 8 am via Bowdle. The farmers caucus debated candidates but did little. Dissatisfaction arose over the temporary chairman vote. Judge Shannon appeared on the floor once more. Schlosser Heintz and others faced auditorship name challenges. Delegates turned in early. Caldwell declined Anna Shaw’s invitation to respond.
