Hon. Nj. Doran Ia to Become Resident of
st. Paul.

st. raul
An important business change was consum-
mated yesterday by which Hon. M. Doran, Of
LIE Sueur, is to become not only closely oil ed
in business interests with st. Paul, but per-
manent resident of the city. This desirable
acquisition to the business interests of St. Paul
was brought about by a reorgani-
cation of the real estate and grain CON-
mission firm Of Morton, Moore & Co.,
composed of Col. G. A. Morton, q. s. Moore
and DR.. A. Wharton, Mr.. G. s. Moore retiring
in favor of MIR. Doran, the firm name of the
new organization being Morton, Doran & Co.
Hon. NJ. Doran, the new member of the firm,
while now for the first time becoming promi-
nently associated in business in St.Paul is we'll
known to our citizens both through intimate
business relations with many leading firms and
from his prominence in one of the leading
political parties for years past. Mr.. Doran has
been resident of Minnesota since 1856, resid-
ing during all that time at LIE Sueur, LIE Sueur
county. Naturally ambitious and pro-
gressive, he soon took promi-
nent part in the politics of the county, and in
1868 was elected county treasurer. a position
in which he was retained for eight years. So
satisfactorily did he serve his people treasur-
er, that in 1871 he was elected to the State
Senate, where he has been continuously retain
ed until the present time. His career in this
important position has been one in every way
most creditable. Watchful in looking after
~
earnest and unaagging in his advocacy of all
measures that commended themselves to his
ideas Of public policy. Mr.. Doran
soon became an acknowledged
power in State legislation. While in this posi-
ton Mr.. Doran has done much to entitle him
of party, prominent in which may be men
toned the investigation resulting in the start
ling disclosures in connection with the mis-
management of the insane hospital.
While thus prominently identified with the
politics of his county and State Mr.. Doran has
been leading business factor in LIE Suenr.
Thus we find him in 1871 associated with
Hon. Geo. D. Snow in the estab-
lishment of the LIE Sueur county
bank, an institution which to-day, under the
management of Mr.. Doran and Mr.. Edison r.
Smith, has standing second to no banking in
stitution in the interior of the State. In 1874
MI. Doran, with number of other leading
citizens of Lie Sueur became associated in the
organization of the LIE Sueur Touring mill
company, by which large Touring mill and
elevator was bnilt Mr.. Doran is now the prin-
cipal owner in this mill property as we'll as the
bank Of LIE sueur, in the management
s os w by his ne SON james, % T yepre
man of twenty-three years of age and we'll
fitted, it is said by those whds know him, to
assume the responsible trusts which will thus
be devolved upon him.
Mr.. Doran proposes to take an active part in
the management Of; the extensive and rapidly
increasing businest of the firm. with which
he has become associated. the new firm be-
ginning Oct. LIST, and to that end will locate
here at no distant day.
Mr.. Moore, the retiring member of the firm,
has not yet definitely decided upon his future,
but as he has large property interests In St.
Paul, it is to be presumed, as it is to be hoped,
he will remain here and soon again become
prominently identified with the business of the
city. Il 3sssfi
