.DEMUCkAlS III FRUNI.
The Ramsey County Conventional Couple
of Sound Democratic speeches-StrOng
Delegation to the State Convention
Action In Other Counties-Fir st Glass
Men Coming Up from All Quarters to
Counsel Together.
The Democratic county convention to select
delegates to the State convention, to help NOM
mate the next Governor of Minnesota etc..
met at the old court house yesterday, morning.
The attendance was Large, both in entire dele
gations and outsiders. The convention went
promptly to work, and without delay accom-
plished the purpose for which called together.
The convention was called to order by
P. II. Kelly, chairman of the county central
committee, who said the convention was
called to order to select twenty eight delegates
to the State convention to nominate candidates
for the State offices. He believed that success
was within the reach of the Democratic party,
if wisdom were shown in tho
nomination of proper candidates. To
this end representative men should be sent as
members of the Ramsey county delegation.
The Republican party was thoroughly dissatis-
he'd with their ticket, and it was within the
power of the Democratic party to harmonic
these differences and bring to the strength of
its own vote these disaffected Republicans by
placing in the field Democratic candidates who
would unite the confidence of the people.
This convention had a duty to perform in
lnaugurating such movement, and he believed
the duty would be we'll discharged. (Appiausc.)
THE ORGANIZATION.
An organization was effected by elcctng Hon.
VIM. Leo temporary chairman, on motion of
Capt. NJ. j. O'Connor. Mr.. Lee, on assum-
ing the duties of chairman, said that he OBJ
served by the call that this was a Democratic
convention. He was always glad to be in
Democratic convention. lApp!!ausel. He
deliberations with true and tried Democrats.
He believed the present time was the opportu-
nifty for the Democratic party to elect Democrats
to the control of the State. If half was true
which Republicans said of their own candi-
dates they were wholly unfit for public trust
They were in family quarrel, and wholesome
truths were uttered against each other, which
it would be we'll for ali Democrats and right
minded people to consider. With an exercise
of wisdom, foresight and honesty on the part
of the Democracy in selecting trustworthy, re-
putable men of commanding integrity as their
State candidates he saw certain victory for
the party over the disrupted Republican party.
(Applause.)
Capt. M. j. O'Conuor was called to perform
the duties of secretary.
