The Democratic county convention met
in Pfeifers hall at 10 O'Clock yesterday fore
noon. The convention was called to order
by the Hon Robert A. Smith, who said he
would dispense with reading the call. Noml-
nations for a temporary chairman were then
called for, and Mr.. John B. Oliver was
called to the chair by acclamation.
In accepting the position he made brief
address, saying that the Democracy were on
the eve of close contest, and he expressed
the hope that the proceedings Of the conven-
ton would be conducted in that spirit OF
harmony that would result in the selection Oh
the strongest candidates.
Prof F. A. Fogg was then made secretary
COMMITTEE on CREDENTIALS.
On motion Of Chas. W. Ringwald, the
chair appointed one from each ward, and
one from the country, as committee on
credentials. as follows: First ward, T. 1.
Kayanagh: Second ward, r. T. OConnOr;
Third ward. r. L. German; Fourth ward,
Chas. Rtngwald: Fifth ward VIM. Hamm;
Sixth ward, E. H. Wood, and Lorenzo Hoyt
from the country.
CAPT. 0. c. MERRIEAN.
Pending the report of the committe on
credentials it was announced by P. II. Kelly
that Capt Mcrriman was in the hall and he
was invited by the chairman to take seat
on the platform. He was escorted to the
platform by Messrs. Lenau, Fuller, Wilde
and Willis and proceeded to make an ardent
and sensible speech. He said the position
was unexpected; he came to ST. Paul on bus
mess and had been invited to attend the
convention as a spectator; the present was
not a time for a political speech, and
besides he did not think the convention
needed any advice as to the work before
them Still, all good Democrats would be
interested at this time in the result Of such
Il gathering.
1t was a necessity that unity of action,
harmony and patriotism should govern all
such bodies; the success Of any single
man was not to be cOnsd-
cred, for, in such campaign,
personalities should be sunk to help the
cause; it was necessary for Democrats to
come as brothers and fall into line; there
should be no pickering, no fault finding. no
whispering behind anyone's back, but the
good of the cause alone should be considered,
and this would insure success. The address
was received with enthusiasm and applause.
