Make McLaren Happy-A staunch Blaine
Crowd Sent to the State Convention.
Some fifty stalwarts got into the old court
house yesterday and did the three Tailors-ot-
Touley-street business in the name Of the
Republican party of Ramsey county. 1t was
as funereal a gathering as was ever seen.
Billy Wilson, the U. 3. mail agent, through
his ccuntenance, brought all the way from
140 to 200 miles from his route to the con-
Tention, failed to brighten up affairs, though
his orifice above his chin was wreathed in
smiles. Even U. s. District attorney Bill
sons hair failed to tighten up the sameness
of the whole business. In fact 1t was very
quiet, very orderly and very dead con-
vention.

PLATFORM.
ReSolUed, That the Republicans of the county

U. 3. Grant for President. We have the great
est pride in his record az a soldier, but we are
opposed to third term on principle as op-
posed to the theory of Republican institutions.
ResoIOed, That while James G.. Blaine is our
hrst choice for the nomination at Chicago we
are in favor of the delegation
from this State giving its support to William
Window, In case there is a reasonable prospect
Of his receiving the nomination for President.
ResotUed, That the late contest in the county
Of Ramsey. had in it no element of hostility to
William Window. Any supposition to that eff
fecti if PERSISTED in is INSTRUMENTATION.
On motion of Gen. Sanborn the report was
accepted, and the resolutions were adopted.
However, during their reading, and espFci
y when No. l made such bulge against
Grant, there were evident signs of not o few
Of the stalwarts being startled. However,
as the thing was cooked. it was gulped down
with wry face only. Adjourned.
