rousing cheers which reverberated through
tie hall. E. A Stevens from the committee
introduced him 10 the chairman as the leader
of the dinner pail brigade. The chairman
introduced the candidate to the convention in
Fafew neat remarks. DR. Ames prefaced his
deception address by explaining that he was
Informed IF the nomination while attending a
wounded man at the Nicollet house. He was
fu ly eoguz iDt of the fact that this was a
critical moment in the history Of MiDbeapo-
lis. He would make no set speech as he had
prepart none. He regarded Mr. Loring as .
Seuti map, and an honorable competitor and
hoped his friends would SO understand him
aud act 10 accordance. He despised and ab-
h0rfed per- onal campaign, He did not be-
Iieye in heapiDg abuse upon Nj. LOring. II
elected he would see that the law was
enforced strictly and cOnscientionsly as
Nr. Loring and his men very well knew he
would. The press had said that We need a
comp tent finAneeer at the head of the munich
pal government. AS 10 his ability in that
direction he referred 10 the attempted steal of
5i,760 in tie Murphy addition job which ne
frustrated when mayor Of Minneapolis, and to
the large amount + money which would have
been lIfe,ed from the city in the construction
OF new hose house, but which he averted by
watching the flnlpces of the city. (Applause.)
Neither viii they get up any steal in pave
menS or water monies during his
administration If elected. Dur
ing lext year q large amount
oi money is to be expended and a big job has
been put up by Little Villain Fletcher. If
elected be pledged his woid they would never
get any steal through if he could help it and
be knev he could. He closed with thanks
Tor The honor conferred in selecting hun for
the hi ghes. office 1T the disposal of the city.
The chairman announced that il was an old
fashioned Democratic love feast and he hoped
to hear from many Of the prominent Democrats
present,
Chas. Hoag made short and spirited ad-
dress. He characterized DR.. Ames acceptance
as the most acceptable speech he ever heard
in any convention and heartily endorsed its
tenor.
Alderman Glenn was the next speaker. He
paid high compliment to DR.. Ames. He
had sat in / be council with DR.. Ames and was
also a councilman under him during his ad-
min stratlou, lie could safely say it was the
best in he hs'ory OF the city. He conf
IDENTIFY believed DR. Ames wonlo he elected by
a rousiug msjoriy. (Applaust).
Alderman Walsh was glad 10 join his voice
with the other speakers in exnltant gratldca-
ton at the nomination of DR.. Ames. He
urged upon all TO work and he believed ii
they would do this that Dr. Ames would be
elected. He briefly rtfued several Of the cam
paign lies used ty the R-pnbiicans and closed by
saying, ''wh0 Is there among rs who knows
Dr. Am, but to love him?" (Cheers.)
Hon z. NJ. Wilson responded to a call IN
short speech. He had lived IN Minneapolis
nearly QUA ter of century. He had come
here when The CITY was bare prairie. He
well r. raembered the most excellant mayor,
the father of the present candidate, and he was
= believer IN BLOOD; not Goldfish aristOcracy
blood, but honest blood. He had known DR..
Ames since he was small lad when in fact a
mere hoy. He sad gone into the Dsttle-f field
for his country when others cowardiy staid
at home. His was generous
soul and be he'd administered to
the suff rings, as q ply stefan alike whet
rich or poor. He knew him as mayor, and
his wss the best and most honest and judicious
administration he had ever known. He asked
tbs members of the convention to go forth
with the same enthusiasm now manifested
and work, and he wns assured that when the
polls were closed they would be victorious.
E. A. Stevens being called said he mad met
D. A Gilmore and P. NJ. Jsnney during the
day, aud they emphatically denied the asser-
ton In the Tribune that they wer Democrats
and working for Loring. They we've working
for Ames. He tho ght the only danger Was
over confidence. Let no man act
IL Jon the supposition that DR.. Ames' election
was easy
MIR Hinton next addressed the convention
upon the Issues. He was little SUI prised TO
fi1d thatlht convention wss unanimous.
Alderman Watt made few congratulatory
remaI ks upon the nomination.
VIM. Ell. Fl. Donohue made an eloquent eulO-
gy upon the candidate for mayor.
Or. Hench was enthusiastically called for.
he said il was the first time he had ever ad-
dIes led convention in the language Of the
country. He was Dutchman (applause), q
Republican (applause), but inasmu b as DR..
Amts' administration few yeai ago dad
been one of law and order, he would do all in
his power to aid in his election again.
Dr. Damn was then introduced to the con-
vention. He could essure his hearers that his
countrymen would work with the Democrats
as they never had before
David johnson was the next speaker.
He felt grstifled at the unanimity of the con-
yention upon the choice made. he closed in
an eloquent eulogy upon DR.. Ames previous
administration. He assured the convention it
had done a God and noble work and to make
it complete let every man In the convention
do his duty and they would show the sOcalled
genuine law and order.
Charles HOag spoke OF the fact that
Prof. Tousley was then engaged in
making q speech at q Republican ratification
meeting, ard he bop d that board of educa-
ton would be elected which would not toler
ate the man who was receiving the highest
salary, as superintendent OF schools, and still
manipulate politics.
