| the Democratic ticket, is q gentleman Of
large and varied experience, and strong
| candidate.
From the New Ulm Review.
The ticket as whole is pretty strong one
and will poll considerable more than the party
| vote, but whether enough to elect remains to
bo seen.
From the Anoka Union.
The Democratic state convention, held al
st. Paul, last week Thursday, was largely at
tended, aIfu succeeded In placing in nomina.
tion . strong and good ticket.
From the Worthington Journal.
The Democrats of Minnesota, in convention
at st. Paul, last week, placed good ticket in
nomination--one that will no doubt command
the full party Endorsement.
From the Preston Republican.
The Democratic State ticket and platform
are such as can be sp oxen of with respect.
The ticket is such as every Democrat can sup
port without sacrifice of principle or self re-
spect.
From the Red River Valley News.
The ticket possesses features of interest in
the personal strength of Mr.. Rice in the older
settled portions Of the State, the popularity of
Mr.. Babcock at home, and Col. Colvill's ''w ar
record"
From the Sauk Centre Herald.
The ticket is one of the best ever put up BY
the Democrats to be bowled dowu at the polls.
Mr.. Rice is q man of unsullied character, and
one of the best representatives of the party in
the State.
From the Princeton Union.
What if the whole republican state ticket
should be defeated this falll Minnesota
would still continue to exist as a state-and
the wire-pulling politicians would have learned
much needed lesson.
From the Lake Superior News.
Hon. Edmund Rice, the nominee for Gov
ernor, has for more than quarter of a centu-
ry been one Of the foremost men of the North
Star State, and is q man whom q large num-
Der of even his political opponents will be glad
to honor.
From the Princeton Union,
Edmund Rice, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, is acknowledge by all to be very
strong candidate-one of the best men the
Democrats could possibly nominate. K. P.
Barnum, the Democratic nominee for lieuten-
ant-governor, is spoken Of as first class
man. although not very we'll known.
From the Stevens County Tribune.
The Democratic State convention has nom
mated strong ticket, with Edmund Rice, Of
St. Paul, for Governor, and E. P. Barnum, of
Sauk Centre, for Lieutenant Governor. It is
very probable that the Democratic ticket will
poll more votes in this State this fall than it
has ever done before.
From the Sherburne County Star.
The Democratic State Convention met in St.
Paul on Thursday of last week, and was q
very harmonious affair. There was some diff
ference of opinion on the financial policy of
the party, but hard money platform was
finally adopted. They showed more wisdom
than the Republicans in selecting candidates
for their ticket, and present some very good
names.
From the jackson Republic.
For once we are compelled to acknowledge
that the Democracy have nominated q credit
able ticket. Mr.. Rice is an excellent gentle
man and if it were possible to elect q member
OF that party to the position he no doubt
would come as near success as any man in the
State. The selection of Felix A. Borer for
the position Of secretary of state is in every
way worthy one. We are sorry our friend
Borer is Democrat and obliged to be slaught-
cred with the rest of the crowd.
From the Winnebago City Press.
For once in their history in this State, we
believe the Democracy have put better men
upon their State ticket than the Republicans.
This no doubt was done because there is q
possibility of electing some of the ticket at
least. Heretofore they have made their
nominations simply for forms sake, and cared
very little who the men nominated were.
But it is different now, and the Republican
vote OF 1879 will be the lightest the party has
had for many long years.
From the Glencoe Register.
The Democratic convention met in St. Paul
last week, and for the first time in many wears
did creditable thing in the nomination of
candidates for the several State offices. Hon.
Edmund Rice is a gentleman every way fitted
for the highest honors that the people have it
in their gift to bestow, and if elected, which is
not probable, will bring to the discharge of
the duties of the gubernatorial Office that ripe
experience and knowledge of the affairs of
State possessed by few men of the common
wealth.
From the Hastings New Era.
The head of the ticket is represented by a
gentleman we'll known throughout the State,
and unanimously admired and respected for
his many noble qualities. He has been iden-
tilted with Minnesota interests from ;to oor1;
est days and has done much toward increas-
ing the railroad and other interests. In St.
Paul he in universally esteemed, and that city
is indebted no more to any man within her
precincts than Edmund Rice The Democra-
cy made wise selection in him, for, ii there is
Democrat in the State who can beat Pills
bury, it is he.
