ticket. 1t was due the county, and no bet
ter man than Mr.. Kinyon could be found
Thomas Simpson, of Winona, rose to
second the nomination of Mr.. Kinyon. He
thought when he and Mr.. Dunnell arose

ought to settle it with the convention and
make him the unanimous choice.

| GOV. HUBBARD ACCEPTS.
At this point in the proceedings the
committee appointed to wait on Gov
Hubbard and notify him of his nomin a.
tion returned with that gentleman. Upon
ascending the platform he was greeted
with applause and quiet being restored
Mr.. Gilfillan introduced him to the conven-
tion and he spoke as follows:
| Gentlemen of the convention, I am
| deeply sensible of the honor you do me in
your tender of a denomination to the
| Office of chief magistrate of, this great
state
The expression of confidence and ap.
| proval implied by your action here this
evening inspires me with sentiments of
| appreciation and gratitude quite beyond
| my ability to express. It has been my
| highest aspiration while discharging the
duties of the executive Office, to impress
| the people of this commonwealth with the
belief that l was striving to give them
an honest, an efficient and
| clear administration, and that
its responsibilities and obligations were
being met and discharged with a fair
measure of success. It is probable that l
have made some mistakes in the course of
my administration of the multifarious and
sometimes complex duties Of the Office,
but it is an attribute of one common hu-
manity to sometimes err. l feel that [
| may command your charitable Judgment
| npon such of my official acts as may have
been fairly subject to criticism. thank
you, gentlemen of the convention, for this
handsome endorsement, and if it shall be
the judgment of the people of the state
that [ shall retain the trust l hold and
which you now tender me for another term,
shall hope, aided by the experience of the
past, to bring to the discharge of its du-
ties ripper judgment and more thorough
efficiency than heretofore, and to sur
render it unsullied to my successor. Ap-
plause.
