Mr.. O'Brien then stepped forward and
addressed the convention as follows:
MI. Chairman, and Gentlemen
of the Convention: 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 feel to-day to
my friends of this convention for the
nomination they have given me; because
I 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
l sincerely assure you that 1 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 I 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. 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 I
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.
don't want to talk about this matter;
7 would sooner work than talk, Laughter. |
But to the extent of my capacities 1 prom
Use you this: If should be elected, 1 will
bring to the interests of the city all the
fidelity, honesty, faithfulness and diligence
that my ability gives me. I shall be the
servant of the citizens of the city of st.
Paul; shall be the mayor of the city of
st. Paul, if l should be elected, and the
mayor of nothing else. Applause. The
| interests of the city, the interests of the
people of the city, and the interests of its
inhabitants shall be all I shall look for or
regard. If God gives me the power and
ability to carry out my duty, will per-
form it as faithfully and as fully as I may
know. Applause.
There is one thing more that I want to
say: am young; yet not so very young.
l shall want the assistance of my friends
and the citizens of the city in helping me
| to do the work I undertake. l shall want
| the same regard and good feeling upon
the part of every man so long as try to
| do right, that may be able to do so, that
| you have given me before and
| that you have expressed to me in this
nomination. If should live to the end of
the term of Office and fulfill its duties for
| those two years, want to so handle it, if
can, and so conduct myself within it that
| when my term is ended and 1 shall lay my
robes of Office down (if ever put them on),
| that l can then turn to you asking with
better heart and better confidence for your
| congratulations than can now in trying
to thank you for the honor you have con-
ferred upon me. [Applause.
