GOVERNOR.
Upon motion the chair appointed H. A.
Cannon, of Washington, F. B. Robinson,
of Kandiyohi, and F. A. Day, of Martin,
tellers.
Nominations then being in order, NJ
S. Chandler, of Goodhue, took the floor
and said:
Mr.. President and gentlemen of the con-
ventlon: l rise to place in nomination
before this convention {. candidate for gov
ernor; but before doing so ask the ia
diligence, the kind forbearance and consent
of this convention to make few remarks.
1t is an acknowledged fact that there is a
deep-seated disaffection existing in the
Republican party of the state of Minneso.
ia, and it is also as we'll known that the
different elements of disaffection, which
threaten to destroy the party, are repre-
sented in this convention, and now it is
for US to say whether we shall so conduct
our deliberations, that peace and harmony
shall grow out of it, or whether We shall
continue this strife and dissension until
the party shall have received its death
blow in the state. I for one shall act in
the spirit ofiharmony and conciliation.
1t is well known 1 was warm and zeal
Gus supporter of Senator Window and I
was so out of the purest motives. I be-
lieved that under all circumstances he was
the best man to represent the interests of
the state of Minnesota in the councils of
the nation. l believed that his strict in
tegrlty, his superior ability, his long ex-
perience, his extensive acquaintance with
public men and business all over the ma
ton, better fitted him to represent the in
terest of this great commonwealth in the
senate of the United States than any other
man within its limits. And I believe now
that his name and his past record as
United States senator, and his record as a
member of Garfeld's cabinet will stand
emblazoned upon the broad pages of
history undimned by age, to be read
by all future generations long
after the Republican and Democratic par
ties shall have been consigned to oblivion.
But the senatorial convention of last win
ter thought differently from what did,
and 1 bow in humble submission to its
dictates. And when l have said this about
Senator Window, l must say about our
senator elect, Hon. d. M. Sabin, that when
the people of the state come to know him
as do, they will know him only to love
him. believe that his large, noble and
generous heart beats in unison with the
people of this state, and in unison with
Its hest material interests. and predict
that should his life and health be spared he
will prove to this state what Stephen A.
Douglas was to the state of Illinois, 1.-The
Little Giant of the Northwest"
And now, having referred to all these
gentlemen, 1 desire to say that when the
history of Gov. Hubbard's administration
shall have been stripped of all of the
falsehoods and misrepresentation and
misinterpretations that have been hurled
at it, it will shine with no less brilliancy
than that of the large-hearted and good
natured Ramsey, the meek and truthful
Marshall, the eloquent and educated @. K.
Davis, the patriotic Miller, who has just
| passed into paradise, the sound and honest
John S. Pillsbury, and others of Mime
| sota's illustrious governors, and l hope, as
| a full recognition of his most excellent
administration, that this convention will
give him the nomination by reclamation.
l have known Gov. Hubbard intimately
for twenty-five years. In the
early history of this country
he was as frequently at my house as one
of my own family, and l can truthfully say
Gov. Hubbard, stripped of all the demoral-
izing and corrupting influences that have
surrounded his administration, that he is a
high-minded and honorable gentleman.
And now, Mr. President, in accordance
with long established custom of the Re-
publican party, when a governor makes a
good administration, the nomination and
election for a second term is by common
consent conceded to him; and in view of
this fact and in the interest of peace and
harmony, take great pleasure in present
ing to this convention for its considers
ton as candidate for governor of the
great state of Minnesota the name of Lu-
cius F. Hubbard.
H. E. Barron, of Rice county, seconded
the nomination and W. D. Washburn, of
Hennepin, followed by moving the nomi-
nation by acclamation, which was done,
one loud and most emphatic "no' being
the only audible protest.
The chair having declared Gen. Hub
bard the nominee of the conven-
tion, A. K. Finseth, of Goodhue, moved
the appointment of a committee of three
to wait upon Gov. Hubbard and bring him
before the convention. The chair ap-
pointed A. K. Finseth, of Goodhue; E. G..
Rogers, of Dakota, and z. B. Clarke, of
Swift, as such committee.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
The chair announced that the next busi-
ness in order would be the nomination of
candidates for lieutenant governor.
L. Osborne, of Clay county, in brief
speech presented the name of Hon. S. G..
Comstock for lieutenant governor. He
said the people of Clay county believed he
was alwhite man and all that the name i'm.
plies. He was an honorable gentleman
who had served with ability in the legisla-
ture, and the people of his section would
be highly honored by his selection.
A B. Robbins, of Kandiyohi, seconded
the nomination of Mr.. Comstock He
was man that his section of the state
would delight to see elevated to the posi-
tion named.
VII. Houlton, of Sherburne county
nominated Hon. J. n. Stacy, of Wright
county.
A. Barto, of Stearns, said he presented a
name that needed no introduction to the
people of this state. Those who knew him
best love him most, (Smiles). He was iden-
tilted with the public interests and ad
