BY ACCLAMATIoN. =
Judge Isaac Atwater moved that In recogni-
lion of the fact that the nomination made by
Mr.. Barrett and seconded by Mr.. Wilson had
been particularly happy one, that DR.. 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. McNair took pleasure and
pride in seeondlngrJ Judge Atwatef q mption.
He esteemed DR.. Ames as representative
Democrat of the district; e. man with broad
ideas; a man generous and true-true to his
party and true alike to his constituency; a
man against whom no claim OF dishonesty can
for moment be raised; man whom we have
known from boyhood to the present day; a
man whom we can elect; and a man
who IN ability, in strength and ripeness of
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, q
true friend of whom he has always been.
The speaker then called eloqhently
upon every Democrat to not only endorse the
action OF the convention, but 60 theit utmost
to secure his election, and then not till then let
any Democrat have the temerity to say that
DR.. A. n. Ames cannot be elected He closed

mittee Of three be appointed TO await UPON
the choice of the convention, notify him of

While the committee were out, Gen. Il. W.
Johnson, OF Ramsey, made a stirring appeal 10
the Democrats OF Hennepin and other couu-
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. s.f
He believed that DIR. Ames could be elected.
He believed that the election Of DIR. Ames was
essential to the perpetuation of our institu-
tons. DIR. Ames is man whom the speaker
admired. He possessed all the noble qualities
Of true manhood, an admirable gentleman
of the people and Democrat whose integrity
no man had q reason to doubt. The speaker
ref rred 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 most vile, offensive and yitu-
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 endeayors to hide his multi.
tude Of sins beneath the cloak of morality.
DIR. Ames rent the cloak asunder, and the
wretch stood before the people disgusting
sight
