Mr.. Chairman, and Gentlemen
of the Convention: I have had some
hard things to do occasionally in my life,
but it is one of the hardest things to express
the thanks and gratitude I feel to-day to
my friends of this convention for the
nomination they have given me; because
l have always thought, and still think,
that any expression of the good wishes of
your friends and neighbors is worth more
than any other kind of advancement, and
1 sincerely assure you that l am more
grateful for this expression of that friend
ship, and for the good feeling and regard
which inspires it, for the assurance it
brings me that in my life here l have so
conducted myself as to be worthy of your
confidence and support for this or any
other Office, is more gratifying to me than
the honor of this or any other Office in the
gift Of the people. Applause.
This Office is the most important one in
the city,-the most responsible one. We
all love st. Paul. I have been here ever
since my boyhood,-I expect to spend the
remainder of my life here, as we all do.
Above all other things, we love this city,
and she is worthy of our love, our affec-
ton and our pride; and the man who under
takes to do his part in conducting the af-
fairs of the city has before him task
which is not only difficult but which might
we'll awake the apprehensions of one who
has more confidence in himself than 1
have in myself. The gentlemen who have
occupied that Office heretofore have been
among the best, most reputable and
worthy of our citizens. There is long
line of predecessors whose conduct has
been all that it should be, who have
brought to the dispatch of the business of
that Office the greatest fidelity and ability,
and the result is that we stand here to-day
the 'Queen City of the Northwest" and
the man who is to follow must be careful
that in his actions he so behaves himself
that none of their works shall be undone.
Applause.

ability to carry out my duty, 1 will per

There is one thing more that want t.
