BY ACCLAMATION.
Judge Isaac Atwater moved that In recogni-
tion of the fact that the nomination made by
Mr.. Barrett and seconded by Mr.. Wilson had
been particularly happy one, that DIR. A. A.
Ames, who seems to enjoy the hearty and un.
divided preference of the convention, be de.
clared the NOMINEE of the Democratic party
of the Fourth congressional district by ac-
clamation.
The proposition was greeted with applause
and enthusiasm.
HON. W. W. M'NAIR's ENDORSEMENT.
Hon. ". W. McNair took pleasure and
pride in seconding Judge Atwater's motion.
He esteemed DR.. Ames as a representative
Democrat of the district; a man with broad
ideas; q man generous and true-true to his
party and true alike to his constituency; q
man against whom no claim of dishonesty can
for moment be raised; a man whom we have
known from boyhood to the present day; a
man whom we can elect; and q man
yul. tIlit in or nnfb md 0e
mind is admirably adapted to the require
ments of the Office to which we have to-day
selected him. The speaker believed that DR.
Ames could poll the full Democratic vote of
the county, and more. He believed the can.
didate could draw from the laboring classes, a
true friend of whom he has always been.
The speaker then called eloquently
upon every Democrat to not only endorse the
action OF the convention, but do their utmost
to securc his election, and then not till then let
any Democrat have the temerity to say that
DIR. A. A. Ames cannot be elected He closed
his address amid enthusiastic applause.
Judge Seagrave Smith moved that a com
mittee of three be appointed TO await upon
the choice of the convention, notify him of
the action, and introduce him to the conven-
Iion.
Judge Smith, e NJ. Wilson and Mr. Bar
rett were selected as such committee.
The chair was instructed to appoint the
usual congressional committee.
While the committee were out, Gen. R. W.
johnson, of Ramsey. made stirring appeal 10
the Democrats OF Hennepln and other eoun-
ties in the district, to rally to the support of
their candidate and not leave him to fight
the battle alone. Gen. Johnson's remarks
were eloquent and timely and were loudly
applauded.
Mr.. Willis in response to calls next address
ed the convention.
BE believed that DR.. Ames could be elected.
He believed that the election of DR.. Ames was
essential to the perpetuation of our institu-
tions. DR.. Ames is man whom the speaker
admired. He possessed all the noble qualities
of true manhood, an admirable gentleman
and true and staupch friend
of the people and Democrat whose integrity
no man had reason to doubt. The speaker
retired in no mild terms to the attack made
upon the choice of the convention through
the columns OF the public press, which he des-
ignated as the Lost vile, ohensiye and vitu.
perative mass OF abusive words hurled at a
gentleman which had ever come within his
experience. DR.. Ames tore the mask from
him, man who endeavors to hide his smulti.
tude of sins beneath the cloak of morality,
DR.. Ames rent the cloak asunder, and the
wretch stood before the people a disgusting
sight.
Mr.. Willis wished to state that he con-
fidently believed the election of DR.. A. A.
Ames not only possible. but highly proba.
ble result Of the campaign just dawning. He
called upon every Democrat to come forward
and perform his individual duty in every par
ticular and he would trust the results.

had been selected to apprise the choice Of the
convention of the nomination made, appeared
in company with
