PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
The committee on permanent organization
then made its report, retaining the temporary
eficers with an addition or two an follows Pres
ident, G. q. Graves, st. Louis; vice presidents
Hon. John Shalleen, Chicago, and George N.
Seaman, Becker; secretary, James Compton,
Otter Tail, with T. M. Grant, of Grant, as ss
sistant. The report was adopted, and business
was proceeded With, Chairman Graves, on this
occasion, not even condescending
as much as 'thanks" for
the ''honor," to the convention, much less
attempting a speech in acknowledgement.
Seeing the balk and evidently desiring to
| help his fellow townsman out of his predlca-
ment, Mr.. Mitchell, of st. Louis,
| came to the front with the remark that
as there was no question as to the action of the
| convention, he would move that w. ID. Wash
burn be placed in nomination as the candi-
date of the Third district Republicans for
Congress by acclamRtion.
TO rise, and the squad of dele
gates present, as in duty
bound, though with the air of victims going to
| the gallows, rose to their feet, whereupon the
| chair declared the motion carried and Mr.,
Washburn the nominee of the convention.
On motion the chair appointed Mr.. e. G:
| Butts of Washington, w. r. Marshall, of
Ramsey, and r. Reynolds of Marshall, COM
| mittee to wait upon Mr.. Washburn and inform
| him of his nomination.
THE PLATFORM.
The committee as above having retired calls
were made for the report of the committee on
platform, which was responded to by Dr.
Keith presenting the annexed resolutions, which
we're adopted:
First-The Republicans of the Third con-
gressional district, in convention assembled,
would congratulate the electors of the district
and the people of the country, that the party
of national conscience, which in the past de-
nounced slavery as C rime against God and
man, and by moral and physical force banished
it from our fair domain, and through seas of
which has protected the national honor and
preserved the national credit, and brought the
country forth to point of unexampled fnan-
cial prosperity, is still a united party, and
with such noble leaders as Gen. James A. Gar
field and Chester A. Arthur we are ready to
once more buckle on our armor for the trump
ant vindication of the national peace and hon.
or, and the preservation of the inaleinable
rights of all classes."
Second--That the Democratic party, by its
long record of political heresies and crimes, It's
open embrace of treason and rebellion, it's re-
ported attempts to destroy the national credit,
its oft repeated efforts to thwart the will of the
people by fraudulent votes and tissue ballots,
its shot gun policy in the past and present, and
its mob violence already inaugurated in this
campaign, shows it to be the same diseased
body-as when in open defiance to the govern
ment; and intelligent citizen need be de-
ceived by its last effort to play the part of the
pursued ostrich, by attempting to hide its
guilty head behind a Union soldier. while lts
whole body is Justly labeled with crimes
against the rights of man and the honor of the
nation.
THIRD. That the reckless expenditures of
the present Democratic Congress, its oft repeat
ed efforts to repeal or nullify such laws as pro-
tect the freemen of the South in the enjoyment
of their legal rights, its determination to re-
move all barriers to the preparation of fraud
at the ballot box, and the unseatiDg of MEM
bers fairly and honestly elected, is proof sufh-
cient that the spirit of evil still dWells in and
presides at the counsels Of, the Democratic
party, and should arouse every lover of his
country to labor for the election of such con-
gressmeu as will persistently refuse to give
over the control of the government into the
hands of those who so moliciousiy seek to des-
troy it..
FOurth-That in our present member of Con-
gress-Gen. w ID. Washburn, we have one in
whom we can safely repose the utmost conf
dence. His diligent attention to all the ma
terial interests of the people of his district;
his unusual success in obtaining needed legis-
lation; his firm and unyielding adherence to
the fundamental principles of a sound cur
reucy and good government, shows that we
have the right man in the right place. and that
he Justly deserves the unanimous renomina-
tion rendered him here this day. We pledge
him our cordial and most hearty support and
his triumphal election.
The reading concluded, Mr.. G. l.. Brown,
who seemed to have happy faculty of putting
his foot In it, moved an amendment to the re-
port thanking Hon. Igustius Donnelly for con-
testing Washburn's seat, but the chair, for the
second time, gave Mr. Brown the cold shoulder
by refusing to recognize the motion.
DISTRICT COMMITTEE.
The committee to present names to consti-
tute the central committee for the ensuing
year, here presented their report, with the re-
mark that it had been thought advisable to in
crease the committee from five 10 seven: @. Fl.
Petit Hennepin, chairman; Capt. II. A. Castle
Ramsey; Capt G. B. Sleeper, Grow Wing; A. j.
Underwood, Otter Tail; W. X. Gould, Clay;
Ole Peterson, Pope; Z. d. Taylor, Washington.
Tho chair put the motion on the adoption of
the report, and though there was no response by
the convention, declared it carried, not
withstanding the vigorous protest of dele
gate Brown, who declared there had been no
motion or second for its adoption.
MCMILLAN WANTS TO KNOW.
The committee to inform MIR. Washburn of
his nomination not having returned, Hon. d.
NJ Sabin called for speech from Senator Nc.
MILAN, to which that gentleman promptly re-
sponded. He commenced his remarks by an
inquiry as to why the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Washburn had been made
with such unanimity, and how it was that there
was no division in the Republican ranks? The
queries were too much for the convention,
whereupon MIR. Mcmillan undertook to Gu
Tighten them as to the why and wherefore of
such an unusual proceeding. According to
Mr. Mcmillan the exhibition of unity presented
entirely due to the consuming desire of
somebody TO vindicate somebody. Ii had been
charged that the nominee of the convention
had bought his election to Congress two years
ago, and the charge had been made the subject
of an officisl investigation in Congress, which
Was still pending. The charge was an insult to
the men of the district, and especially to the
labnrinp men of MiunaaDOlis who III yxas
