What Hennepin Democrats Think of the
Ticket-A Jubilee in Prospect.
A GLOBE representative upon the result
of the Democratic convention being known
met and interviewed number of the rep
resentative Democrats in the city and
interviewed them upon their ticket. The
most harmonious and even enthusiastic
feeling exists in every quarter
MAYOR AMEs.
''I consider W. W. McNair the strongest
candidate the Democrats of Minnesota
could choose as our standard bearer. When
I consented to become candidate for the
nomination, it was only at the most earn
est solicitation of my friends and the rep
resentative Democrats of Hennepin, and
| upon the further consideration that there
should be no opposition to my
candidacy. I expressed my views
and position clearly at the Hennepin con-
| vention. did not wish to become can
didate for governor, but in the event the
| Democracy of Minnesota, with one accord,
should consider my nomination in the in
terest of the party, 1 would run. am
| Democratic in every sense and will never

day found, but not to my surprise, that
the sentiment was divided. Other Demo-
Gratis, I realize, are more widely
known and could make bet
ter fight. l acted accordingly
and with the permission of the Henne-
! pin delegation had the honor of present
ing the name of Hennepin Democrat to
the convention. I nominated the Hon. W.
w. McNair, because believed him entitled
to the position, and because, furthermore,
esteem him one of the most able and
conscientious gentlemen of the West. He
is true and faithful Democrat, and
man we'll calculated to develop the full
strength of the party even in the most re-
mote sections of our state. He was pioneer
settler and has always been foremost and
consistent in all our political campaigns,
successful in his profession and highly es-
teemed by even the Republicans. I may
go still further and say that am conf
dent that Mr.. McNair will secure large
vote from liberal, thinking men, irrespec-
tive of party lines, and with
thorough organization may be
elected this fall. These are my
reasons for introducing his name at the
convention to-day"
DR. j, W. MURRAY.
81 am we'll pleased with to-day's work.
No better man could have been selected to
head our ticket. Now let the Democrats
perfect an organizasion, and the election
of Mr.. McNair is possible. Hennepin will
certainly poll heavy vote for him."
JOHN ORTIZ, JR.
Hon. ". W. McNair can depend upon
me. 1 will exert every possible influence
in his behalf. Old Hennepin will do her
self proud this fall.
LAMBERT HAYES.
I could not have been better pleased. l
have known Mr.. McNair many years, and
have always esteemed him highly as a
gentleman and an able and honest politi-
clan. He is a success in everything he at
tempts. will stand by him.
DR.. W. o. STEPHENS.
Iesteem Mr.. McNair as one of the most
able citizens of the north star state, and
jnst the proper man to select as standard
bearer. He will more than bring out the
full Democratic vote.

"The nomination is as good as could
have been made"
JULES MAYER.
"The best nomination possible. -
JUDGE MAHoNEY:
ST should like to have seen McNair first
and Bierman second upon the ticket. I
say this because 1 know very little of Mr..
Frazee. I do not wash to say Mr.. B. would
prove better candidate than the nominee,
but he has been my choice for
lieutenant governor for some time,
believe that ticket might have been elect
ed, and as it is have great hopes for Mr..
McNair. Bierman would command large
vote which will go to Gilman, whose great
strength lies among the Scandinavian eIe-
ment. Yet the ticket is in every sense a
good one and strong one. Mr.. McNair
is one of the first men in our
state in his profession,
shrewd politician, a successful business
man, and would beyond doubt manage the
state affairs judiciously."
j. T. LEE.
"A good and strong nomination. We
will now show Minnesota that Hennepin
