The nomination OF Mr.. thornton was
made unanimous.
A committee OF three, consisting of Messrs.
O'Leary, Cooley and Brown, were appointed
to wait upon the nominee and inform him of
the result of the conventions elaboration.
Mr.. Thornton appeared, and when he en-
tered the room, was loudly cheered. Mr..
Thornton spoke briefly, accepting the nomi-
nation. He was not candidate in the sense
of the word. He had been selected to be the
standard bearer of the Democrats of the
Second congressional district and am pro-
foundly grateful for the honor conferred.
He spoke upon the tariff and considered it
the issue of the day and the issue upon
which the campaign is to be fought. He was
most unreservedly opposed to the present
tariff, and said that the farming and laboring
classes were being swindled out Of millions
of dollars annually-this vast amount not
going to the government, but into the hands
of the monopolists. The necessaries of life
SHOULD be free of duty. The duty should be
laid upon the luxuries-diamonds jcwelry,
etc. II possible, am in favor of free trade
to-day When look back upon the record
of the up party, l find it has record of cor
ruption. When l see the Robesons, the
Belknaps, the Dorseys, the Bradys, the
Elkins' shouting hoarse for the great corrup-
ZIONIST, Jas. G. Blaine, l wonder how honest
people can support him.
Mr.. P. A. Foster was called upon and
spoke briefly, principally of the tariff and the
general corrupt record of the Republican
party. There are men in this district who
are Republicans only for the purpose of OBJ
tanning Office. Such persons are not worthy
OF support; but when we come to a man who
has remained a Democrat for the past twenty
four years we know he is man who can be
trusted and not a mere seeker for the spells.
A motion was made by Mr.. Mason pro-
viding for the appointment of a congress
sional committee consisting Of one from
each county. This was carried and Chair
man Craig will make the announcement in
a few days. Adjourned.

A number of Mankato people are attend

Der of friends Wednesday evening.

row night.

Building and Loan association will be held

No important business was transacted at
the meeting of the board of education
Wednesday night.
While there was not large attendance
present at the Democratic district conven-
ton yesterday, there was much more en-
thusiasm manifested than at the meeting of
oficeholders here last June that nominated
Wakefield The unanimous sentiment Of
the convention was In favor of tariff for
revenue only, as opposed to the present tar
if system.
Owing to the greatly increased attendance
at the normal school it has been deemed
necessary to secure another teacher. Prof.
Soaring received the consent of Resident
Director Barr to secure this addition to the
faculty and immediately telegraphed Mr.. A.
NJ. Sawin, of Wisconsin, who has wired his
acceptance and will undoubtedly be able to
commence in his new position on Monday.
Mr.. Sawin is a graduate of the University
of Wisconsin and comes with excellent re-
commentators.
Never before were houses for rent as
scarce as at present. Many parties have ent
deavored to secure houses or rooms to rent
but have not been successful. 1t is said that
quite large number of normal school stu
dents intending to attend this year have left
his city for the reason that they were unable
to obtain rooms toa ccomodate them. What
this city wants is large number of frame
dwelling houses put up in substantial man
ner, but at the same time renting at rates
not excessive. If some of our capitalists
who are not using their thousands should
put up buildings sufficient to supply the de-
mands they would find it profitable.

st John Scares the Republicans.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-St. John and Daniels, Pro-
hibition candidates Yer president and vice-presi-
dent, spoke at the Lake Bluff Temperance camp
meeting to-day St. John said the Republican
party had Outgrown its usefulness, that it no
longer represented the morality of the country
II men voted as they prayed, he (St. john would
certainly be elected He arraigned Blaine as
being on the eide Of intemperance, quoting
from a letter of his in which he
favored the distribution of the revenue
from liquor to the states. He attacked the Re-
publican platform, dealing especially with the
Norman plank. He said the Republican party
every four years incorporated an anti Mormon
plank in the platform, but never did anything
more. The evidence was that within few
years the number of Mormons have nearly
doubled. A party of greater morality was
needed.
Daniels spoke briefly in the same general
strain,

WHOLESALE BUSINESS.

AS the Chicago Tribune says, the wholesale
business is leaving Chicago and moving west, that
city merely doing the jobbing business for its
contiguous territory, and acting a supply
point for western jobbers. Merchandise, includ-
ing the products of eastern factories, can be
bought in St. Paul as cheaply as in Chicago, thus
saving our customers delay and the freight from
Chicago to st. Paul, over 400 miles. Much OF
goods are direct importatons from Europe,
brought here in bond thus saving expense OF
breaking bulk at New York and Chicago-42 OF
our firms were large importers last year.
Yearly sales of 81, 000,0 600 are now more mum
erous than were sales of 100000 ten years ago
Some of our firms sold over $4,500,000 each in
1883.
