ore IN its history has our city been so
walked up and excited as last night.
Seldom has any man been hailed with so
hearty an endorsement by his old friends
and neighbors. For several days the city
had been in an anxious fever over an ap-
parent act of perfdy performed and
another one threatened. On Wednesday
morning, when paragraph was read, in
one of the papers of your city, saying that
'Mart Chandler was asked last evening by
Gov. Hubbard to present his name in the
convention to-day, but Mr.. Chandler de-
clined to give an answer to the request I'M
til this morning"-hot words of indigna-
tion we're heard everywhere. Chandler had
sought and obtained the craftsmanship of
the county delegation, and the delegation
having been instructed by unanimous vote
to present thy name of Governor Hubbard.
it seemed strange that he should take time
to consider whether he would do that which
he had pretended to seek the privilege of
doing. Az no news of Hubbard's nomina-
ton, or of any action of the convention
reacheN +he city during the afternoon, the
feeling ,-4at there was probable perfdy
increased, and before night there was open
talk of burning III s. Chandler n eff
gy and treating h,n. 70 coat of tar if he
dared to go back C- lhe inrtructions of the
convent, that sent him to st. Paul.
There was a great feeling of relief
everywhere when the news came of
Governor Hubbard's denomination by ac-
clamation.
The excitement occasioned by the feel
ings of that afternoon, tended to give zest
to the reception last night in which Mr..
Chandler was entirely ignored, except as
his intended perfdity was openly scored
by the different speakers.
A liberal purse was quickly raised
among the business men, the First Regi-
ment band of your city telegraphed for
and arrangements made for grand time.
At seven in the evening the reception
committee, consisting of Mayor F. B..
How, x-mayor S. B. Foot and T. K. Sim
mons attended by the Hubbard Guards
in full uniform and bearing muskets and
led by the band proceeded to governor
Hubbard's house and escorted him to the
st. James hotel. amid the lively strains of
music, booming of anvils, the shouts of
the happy populace and the burning of
fire works Arrived at the st James hotel
where dense crowd consisting of several
thousand had gathered, reaching up
and down Main and Bench
street, filing the sidewalks,
doors and windows of the adjoining
buildings and the balconies of the hotel,
halt was made Rousing cheers were
given for the governor, and Capt. A.
Wright was called to the ront to take
charge of the ceremonies. He made some
remarks with regard to a similar joyous
occasion two years before, and introduced
Prof. J. B. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson told
something of his experiences in the first
campaign for Governor Hubbard, and the
assurances that he then gave
with regard to the qualifications
of his old friend and neighbor, for the
position that he then sought, and said
that those assurances had been more than
fulflled2He referred to the opposition that

McLaren and the rest. struck right from
the shoulder and straight into the face of
those OF the old ring, whom he showed
guilty of perfdy and conspiracy, and then
highly omplimented Governor Hub
bard on his character and ad-
minlstration and explained to him
on the part of his old neighbors
the qualification that they felt at his de-
served denomination to the high Office of
governor of the great state OF Minnesota.
Governor Hubbard responded with dig
nifty, thanking his neighbors for this unex-
pected demonstration, and assured them of
desire to further merit their good opin-
ions.
O. NJ Hall, ESQ, was then introduced to
the assembled multitude, who showed no
disposition of letting up in their fervor for
general congratulatiOn all around. Mr..
Hall announced himself as one of the IN
terrified, who lived on hope. but was will
ing to rejoice at the deserved good fortune
of any honorable Red Wing man, although
he be q Republican. He paid the highest
compliment to Governor Hubbards S
careful integrity and watchfulness of the
interests of the state; told of finding Gov
ernor Hubbard away up among the heavy
timbers of the capitol building during Its
erection. anxiously supervising everything,
and again happening upon him in his Of
fee while he was carefully, laboriously
and patiently examining great stack of
vouchers. He said in these times we want
a governor who will examine the vouchers.
He spoke of the capitol as monument to
Governor Hubbard's honesty, that would
remain after the present genera
ton had passed away. This
speaker made number of humorous hits
which kept the vast crowd in constant
good humor, but which were vastly easier
to enjoy than to remember and report.
One Of his most enjoyed tunes was to
quote in grandiloquent style with violent
gesticulation, passage from Mart
Chandler's nominating speech. Its humor
consisted largely of listening to fulsome
praise of Chandler's alphabetical list of
Republican Office holders, from the lips
of Democrat, with the idea that Chan
dler had thought to tickle the pride or ad d
to the character of such men by such praise
on such an occasion.

added further to the food of congratula-
tions and to the commendation of
the governor for his industry
careful forthought and care of the inter
ests of the state.
