\ TICKET AND A PLATFORM
With Which We Can Overthrow the
Multitudinous Rascally Rings.

The Minnesota Democratic State Convention
assembled at the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the capitol yesterday.
At IAN. Mr.. P. Fl. Kelly, in the absence of
Col. Morton, chairman, called the convention
to order, and after the call was read, called
John b. Brisbin to preside. Mr.. Brisbin, in
accepting the place, said he felt satisfied the
delegates had met together as conscientious and
patriotic citizens, actuated only by desire to
advance the interests of the party and saora-
ment. The next year was to the sacramental
season, second baptism. 1t was we'll known
the people two years ago W ere defrauded out of
their choice for President. Next year, there
fore, was to be retribution year. History re-
peats itself. The people never
fell to punish unfaithful SER
wants, or to punish wrongs done. In 1876
a quarter of million majority proclaimed
that Samuel J. Tilden, the Democratic nominee,
was elected President, but he was juggled out
of his office. The people are determined to
right the wrong. 1t makes no difference as to
che position Minnesota takes, the issues are
already made, and the squadrons are already
in the field and the battle will be fought out
the line of retribuitive justice. State
rights and consolidated government. Seces-
ment was ever founded upon the idea of dis
solution, but upon permanency. It is coward
ly to raise the cry Of secession in connection
with local self government. The Democratic
party are in favor OF the constitution as it
stands to-day. We are not in favor of an army
at the polls. We are not in favor of paid su-
pervisors to watch the ballot box. We are OPP
posed to the interference of the general govern
ment in local affairs. The Democracy in short
intend to bring the government back to first
principals, and by these signs the party will
conquer or perish. OF the special duty Of the
convention he had nothing to say, further than
that it was evident the convention had assem-
bled to nominate Democratic ticket by and
through which the party of Minnesota should
be placed in hearty sympathy with the party
Of the country.

then moved that such committee consist of
only three members. Carried. a
