The report of the committee was adop-
ted
Hon. D. B. Johnson, from the committee
on permanent organization, addressed the
convention in presenting his report as fol-
lows:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: As chairman of the
committee on permanent organization be-
fore submitting the report of the commit
tee ask the indulgence of this convention
for moment.
1t has been the pleasure of your COM
mittee to select for the permanent chair
man OF this convention gentleman well
known to you-the wheel horse of the
Democracy of the First ward-a man who
is ready and willing at all times to support
the nominee Of his party, and has never
been known to hesitate or flag in the heat
of battle, who has been an alderman of
this city for the last twelve years, and is
identified with the material interest and
prosperity of the city, against whose integ-
rity no complaint Of bargain, dishonor or
corruption has ever been charged, man
who has never been known to go back on
his friends, social or political, who has
helped and aided to the best of his ability
when he could honestly, conscientiously
and 1ntelligently do so all who have called
upon him for succor. Gentlemen, l refer
to Hon. M. w. Glenn. the
temporary chairman of this convention,
and now we submit the following report:
That the temporary organiza tion of this
convention be made the perm anent organ
zation of the same.
In response to call the chairman made
short address. He hoped the Democracy
of Hennepin county would take such an
active and earnest part in the coming
campaign that it will entitle it at the next
state convention to a delegation of thirty
five instead Of our present small number
of eleven.
If our state convention in st. Paul will
place in nomination at the
HEAD OF THE TICKET
the proper man. a man who can command
the votes of Hennepin county, we will
show to the state that we have 4 little
army of earnest, energetic aud en4husias-
tic Democrats. The last gubernatorial
campaign was not a fair test OF our nu-
mer1cal strexgth. Last fall in the con-
gressional campaign we made proud
record and against ? barrel of money, and
this fall as against the Republican nomi-
nation We have great opportunity. Col.
Glenn closed his speech amid applause.
Chas. M. Foote moved that a committee
of seven be appointed by the chair to pre-
pare a list of delegates to the
state convention, aud the chair appointed
Chas. M. Foote, Matthew Walsh, D. B.
Johnson, Solon Armstrong, Jacob Becker,
Daniel Watt and Henry. y.Hauschild as such
committee.
Charles Hoag addressed the convention
in a happy vein, and he was followed by
Judge Segrave Smith, the old, tried and
true wheel horse of Democracy. Judge
Cochran made more lengthy address. He |
wished to say that never in the history of
the party has the Democracy been more |
hopeful and had more cheering prospects |
and the Republican party been more dis |
