| features are so familiar to nearly every resi-
dent of St. Paul. No sooner did the crowd
catch sight of that banner than they broke
! out into cheer after cheer, which was silenceC
only by the appearance of p. Fl. Kelly, Esq
chairman of the delegation, appearing on the
! platform of the Car. His appearance was
the signal for another outbreak of wild en-
thusiasm, and it was long time before sill
ence could be restored, so that his voice
could be heard.
Mr.. Kelly said Friends and fellow Dem
ocrats of st. Paul i need not tell you how
much gratifed we are with the reception WI
met with at home, or how gratifying 1T Is t.
| know that here as il has besn all along oul
route homeward, the result of our convention
is checred by tho people. l understand thai
we are to have more speaking soon at the Glare
don and again in the evening, and L Will MOI
try to make speech now. But vii
| have something to say to you, IL
good time, of the interesting incidents OF
the convention aud of the part borne by YOU
| DELEGATION. 1t is enough for me to say that
believe we contributed largely to the nOmina
tions which you and all the Democrats of thC
country have approved. Those nominations
have united the Democracy of the whole c'un'
try. There are no divisions in our ranks either
| in New York or anywhere else. The Tam
many and Tilden men have settled their differ
cnces In the State of Pennsylvania Senator
Wallace and Speaker Randall have harmonized.
| And 10 " let me introiu to you, as repre-
sentative of the united Democracy of Henne-
| pin county, the Hon. VIM. Lochren.
! Mr.. Lochren commenced by briefly al
| luding TO the action of the national conVen-
ton, and tho part that Minnesota had taken
in Bringing about result which was sure
! harbincer of success. He said that from the
| time they had left Cincinnati to their arrival
in St. Paul, they had been greeted with orc
unanimous voice of approval. The shout OF
victory had filled the air during their entire
| Journey, and with earnest vehemence ho de-
| clared that the battle was already won. lie
concluded by saying that Gods sunlight had
burst upon the earth with brilliancy pro-
fuse enough to penetrate even the blackness
| of darkness which had so long enveloped our
beloved State. Cheer after cheer greeted the
eloquent speaker during his remarks and
every allusion to Hancock, set the vast crowd
wild.
Hon. E. NJ. Wilson, of Minneapolis, was
next called for, and again shout that
could almost be heard at our
sister city went up from the throng. Mr..
Wilson made one of his impressive speeches,
born of the true inwardness of his feelings,
voiced the universal satisfaction with which
Minneapolis, irrespective of party, has re-
ceived the nomination of Gen. Hancock. lie
commenced by saying that this was one OF
the proudest days of his life, coming back as
they did to their beloved State after achiev-
ing such grand and noble work as had
been done in Cincinnati. Continuing he
said: "You sent us forth in weakness, we re-
turn to you in strength. Minnesota has per-
formed her duty by the men you sent forth
to represent her. Do your dutyin Novem-
Der and you will place in the Presidential
chair man who has stronger hold, deep
down III the hearts of the American people
than any man who has lived since the days
of Washington MIR. Wilson's remarks
wero SO frequently interrupted by cheers that
it was almost impossible for the reporters to
hear them, and in fact no synopsis OF
them could do him justice.
At this point Mr.. Kelly once more appeared
upon the platform of the Car, holding IN his
hand the beautiful Minnesota banner OF tho
convention, bearing on one side III golden
letters the name of minnesota" and on the
other picture of Gen. Hancock, and after
silence was obtained, in few eloquent and
feeling words on behalf of the entire delega-
ton from Minnesota, he presented the same
to Gen. FL. Il. Sibley, "the noblest Roman
of US all," whose wise counsel and earn
est request had first marked out for the dele
CATION their course of action which had re-
flected so much honor upon the State and
nation.
This graceful act, took not only Gen. Sib
ley, but the entire crowd by surprise, and
for moment or two there was deep
silence, which was shortly broken by an i'm
mense shout, as the honored banner WAS
passed over to his hands. Gen. Sibley
YVES utterly unable to say q word, but
be grasped tho staff when it was handed to
him with an air which said Gin this sign we
will conquer" and during the entire subse-
quent proceedings lie either carried or kept
his eye upon that banner with all the solicit
tude of mother looking after the safety of
her child. No gift in tho power of king or
potentate to bestow, would be moro highly
priced by him, and the GLOBE ventures the
assertion that it will be cherished and
guarded by him during his life and trans-
mitted as an heirloom to his children's
children to the remotest generation.
Just at this moment the train began to
pull out, and the further proceedings at the
depot were brought to an abrupt close.
Hastily descending to the platform, the MEM
bers of the delegation were precipitated into
the arms of their friends and hand shaking.
"God bless you," "Well done," mingled with
the less refined but equally as earn
est expression, such as "Buily for
YOU" we'll send you again" "Never
8 better crowd ever represented u.s." &c,
&C. 1t took some time to extricate the dele
gates and their friends from the enthusiastic
crowd, but finally they managed to reach 2.

had been in waiting to convey them to the
Hancock Headquarters at the Clarendon
hotel. Mr.. Keljy's immense establishment
was profu6ely decorated with Gags, and his
small army of employees filled the windows
and lined the sidewalks, and as their chief
appeared they gave him right royal vel
come, which seemed TO make more Impress
ion upon him than all the hOuors he had
previously received. 1t took bat few mo-
ments to fill the carriages when the line of
march was again taken up, headed by the
Great Western Band, and marched up Third
TO Wabashaw end thence to the Clarendon
hotel. All along The route the sidewalks
and windows were crowded, and con-
tjnuous waving of hats and handker-
chiefs greeted tho honored guests.
Arriving at the Clarendon, the delegates and
invited guests alighted and proceeded to the
reception parlors of this popular hotel. Col.
Mcnamara had not only adorned both the
Mabasha and Sixth street fronts of his hotel
with a profusion Of flags, but stretched across
the street was banner bearing the names of
tho nominees. His whole second floor In
