CATION which feel for the honor you have this
day conferred upon me. This convention as-
sembled in the belief that the hitherto serried
ranks OF the Republican party were wavering,
and that with the nomination of good men BY
the Democrats, our success was assured. In
view of this idea entertained by the Democ-
racy, feel especially fattered by the honor
which your convention has this day extended
to me. I am further honored by being
associated with the gentleman who has
just left the stand-the noblest Roman of rs
all. loud applause.) His name is synonym

front and head of our ticket he will bring
strength to the party. I give the assurance
that Stearns county will contribute $500 ma

just here let me remark that G. A. Gilman
claims that he was helped to his election by
Democratic votes. We in Stearns county will
show him something different. opine that
after the day of election he will entertain q
widely different opinion. In conclusion, gen.
tlemen, again return you my thanks.
At this stage of the proceedings, motion to
adjourn until O. o'clock was made.
There was some protesting against it, but
President Brisbin put it, and declaring it car

iety, to supper.
