central committee, who, before reading the
call, said the city was witnessing the effect of
eight to seven, and it would be one of the du-
ties of the convention to prevent it's future
recurrence far as possible. Mr.. Lee then
moved the appointment of Hon. NJ. Doran
of LIE Sueur, as temporary chairman, which was
unanimously carried, and the further temper
airy organization was effected by the election of
II. p. Hall, of Ramsey, and Z. r. Archibald, of
Rice, secretaries.
In assuming the duties Of the chair, Mr..
Doran briefly thanked the convention for the
honor conferred upon him, and asked the pleas
ure of the convention.
COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
Fl. G. Woodbury., of Waseca, moved com
mittee of three be appointed upon credentials,
which was adopted and the following appoint
ed: H. c. Woodbury., of Waseca; f. A. Noble,
of Rice; Hugh Murray, of Steele.
COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM.
j. +. Norrish, of Dakota, moved that a COM
miteee of five be appinted on resolutions. This
created quite a discussion. D. A. Robertson
and VIM. l.. Banning, both of Ramsey. insisted
that the committee on resolutions should be
appointed by the delegates Of each judicial dis
trict selecting their own representatives on the
committee, the ground being taken by each
that the platform of the convention
should be as broad and concise as
possible, and should, therefore, be the collec-
tive work of the whole State as represented in
the convention and by each judicial district
delegation separately, and not by the chair.
At this point j. +. Norrish of Dakota,
moved the appointment Of committee of five
on permanent organization, which was objected
to by u. A. Robertson, of Ramsey, the
ground that the motion partook of machine
politics" qualification of the Republican
party, and not Of the Democratic party.
7 ,T Do,
were aware the chairman D lifelong and
faithful Democrat and could be entrusted with
the appointment of the committees, and his
nominations would create universal satisfac-
ton. (Cheers.)
o. NJ. Hall, of Goodhue, pressed the motion
for the appointment of a committee on perma-
nent organization.
r. A. Jones, of Olmstead moved the
appointment of q committe of seven
on resolutions, which again brought
VIM. l.. Banning of Ramsey, to his
feet in support of his idea, previously expressed
that the judicial districts should appoint their
own representatives in the committee upon
platform. He claimed that the Democratic
party was aWaking to near issues, that tho
party was progressive; and that its sentiments
could only be arrived at in the way he pro-
posed as to The constitution of the committee.
VIM. Smith, of LIE Sueur, warned the con-
vention against running after false gods. In
straight Democratic principles had been fully
demonstrated AS the GLOBE had succinctly
stated, by 80 doing the Democracy of that
State had succeeded in raising its vote from
20, 900 to 100, 900.
Dr.. Adams, of Dakota, followed in the same
State candidates and declare its prin-
ciples in platform broad enough
for all to stand firmly and squarely upon.
VIM. l.. Banning, of Ramsey, here moved to
amend the resolution SO that each judicial dis
trict would be empowered to select its own re-
representatives. upon the committee, to which o.
M. Hail. of. Goodhue, rejoined by hoping the
motion would be voted down. and it was voted
down.
