ELECTORS AT LARGE.
The question of choosing two electors at large
coming up w. M. Campbell said, the Third dis
trlct claimed one of the positions for j. f. Nor

nave more consideration, and he nominated the

for John F. Norrish.

behalf of Lienau
Col. O'Leary nominated j. j. Thornton, of
Watowan, for elector at large, but Mr.. Thorn
ton declined

THANKS TO DoRAN.
B. S. Cook, of Steele county, offered the fol-
lowing:
| ResOIUed That the delegates of this conven-
| ton hereby tender a vote of thanks to the Hon.
Michael Doran, chairman of the Democratic State
| Central committee, for the very able manner in
which he managed the late state canvass.
| When the resolution was adopted there were
! loud calls for Mr.. Bierman, and, in response, he
said he was taken by surprise. He wanted to
thank the convention for the cordial support ten
dered him as the standard bearer in the last cam
paign. He had made mistakes, as
| all men had in politics. During
| the campaign he had made a mistake. He
| had doubted the fairness of some in Ramsey
county and among others he had called into
| qeestion the actions of Mr.. P. II. Kelly. He had
since learned that he had done that gentleman a
great injustice, and he wanted to make a public
apology. His remarks were received with ap-
| plause.
Mr.. D. NJ. Graft, of st. Louis county, didn't
want to act as alternate, but the convention
would not excuse him.
Mr.. P. H. Kelly invited the delegates to meet
him at the Merchants hotel at eight o'clock in
the evening to arrange for going to Chicago.
| Mr.. Ebert moved that three cheers be given
for the success of the Democratic party. which
were given with an JUNCTION, when the convention
| adjourned.
