The Democratic county convention called
for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the various county and legislative offices
to be elected ct the ensuing election in No
vember, met at the old court house at 10
O'Clock A. N. yesterday, and was called to
order by Mr.. P. II. Kelly, Esq, chairman of
the Ramsey county central committee:
Mr.. Kelly in calling the convention to Or
der took occasion to congratulate the dele
gates upon the suspicious outlook. The
wear of Jubilee has come, and the time is
near at hand when change in the admins
tration of affairs in the nation would take
place. This was foreshadowed by the news
from Maine. He also congratulated the men
upon having ga paper which would give
them the roosters," holding up cspy Of the
GLOBE. The Democracy should thank the
men who had enabled the paper to be pub
lished. With its aid We enter upon this
combat. and the day is moi far distant when
Minnesota will be redeemed from radical
rule. The Democracy do not need money
to succeed. Their stronghold is with the
workinemen-th men who carry tin pals
ingtead of gold headed Genes. They present
such men for the eufrages of the
people as Gen. Hancock and General
Sibiey and with such men, success is certain.
Passing from this topic MIR. Kelly next
alluded to the uncalled- for and unwarrant-
able attack made upon County Auditor
Davis, in the Pioneer Press on Sunday, and
in scathing language said that such an at
tack came with bad grace from paper
which had been party to q greater fraud
upon one frontier Republican county than
had ever been perpetrated ia Ramsey county
under Democratic rule, since it's ofganiza-
ton. He paid high coIapllment to MIR.
Davis, who he said had served the county
faithfully and corscientously for many years
and trusted would continHe to do 50 for
many wears to come. He hoped the con-
vention would aid the people of Ramsey
county in putting the seal OF condemnation
upon such uncalled- for attacks, by retain
ing the services of Mr.. Davis in the position
he now SO ably fills.
He then asked for nomination of tempor-
arg chairman. The name OF HHonest John
Dawlan," as chairman of the convention,
who was unanimously elected.
Mr.. Dowlan on taking the chair briefly
returned thanks for the honor.
