much talk about McGill Pisbury and the
Millers association, but I think those who
are disaffected might come into line. The
whisky question will cut some figure.
think some liquor men, however, will favor
high license. If we can get Gov. Davis to
| come up and make a speech. and some prom
| inent Minneapolis man to disabuse the minds
of the people of this prejudice against Mime
| apolis it would be good thing. under
stand Mr.. Mitchell, of the Duluth Tribune,
will support Ames. / think the fact that Mr..
Pillsbury is chairman of this committee has
cost the party great many votes.
Il. p. Freeman, of Mankato-I never saw
the Republican party in better shape than it
| is to-day. We have an Irish element, but it
only amounts to about 300. We must see that
Republican papers are well supported.
| Mr.. Searle-We have a man up in Stearns
county who runs paper, and is promised the
support of the county for the printing.
| A Voice-That's the way to Ak them.
| b. +. Collins, of st. Peter-I think we can
wheel all the Irish temperance element of LIE
Sueur into line for our ticket.
Mr.. Huntingdon-The Democrats have got
L. O'Leary, of Avoca, from our district on
their state central committee. He s a strong
man among the Irish in Murray county, and
believe he is temperance man, and he has
got great deal of influence among them.
I'm afraid he will carry them all over to the
Democratic ticket.

many of the party will support the ticket,
but the saloon men have all deserted US. The
! best element of the Democratic party will not
support Ames. l know, however, a prOmi-
nent Methodist, a merchant, who said he
would support Ames. | believe we ought to
have every county organized so that we
could get reports almost daily. We must ap-
| peal 10 the voters through the religious press
by exposing the personal character of DR..
Ames.
DR.. R. G. Evans, of Minneapolis am sure
! all the Democrats will vote for Ames, but
| they are counting without their host when
! they think he will get as many votes as when
he was elected mayor. We had men to go out
and look up where the detection was. We
! found it was not among the Scandinavians,
but among the workingmen. There is
great sympathy for DIR. Ames in
Minneapolis. He is a big-hearted fellow.
| To talk about his personal character would
simply elect him. 1t had that effect last
spring. This al we must take different
| course, and make party fight. In the spring
we had local optiOn-the patrol district sys-
| tem-to contend with; we have not got that
now. I've got friend who wrote down TO me
| from the Filth district. and he says there is
a great disaffection in regard to the Millers'
association. Ii we wage pure party fight it
| will bring many disgruntleu Repu ollcans into
line. We want enthusasm-brass bands.

| CHAIRMAN PILLSBURY.
| Chairman John S. Pillsbury was invited
| to speak. He indicated himself in this
| way:
| When was invited into the committee to
| be chairman thought nothing of the Milers'
association, thought of nothing else but
that was a Republican. Since we have
,f,af
| has gone up from 800 to 10000
| barrels per day. work from a. N. until
8 p. M, and then take supper. No other con-
| Germ IN the world, I believe, has distributed
| S125,000 among its operatives. We have
done that up TO date. We pay on an aver
age ~ cents more per bushel for wheat
| than any other market on the globe There
| is no Millers' association now. When it was
| organized it WAS simply that each member
| should get his proper share of wheat The
| MillerS' association don't amount to a snap
| more than to pay or 3 cents more a
| bushel to keep wheat out of the New York
| market. We have spent more money in ex-
| periments than the cost of q dozen of the
| best farms in the state. We have made a
| revolution. From all time until 1882 wheat
was worth from Is TO 20 cents less per bushel
| than winter wheat. Since 1882 the price Of
spring wheat has raised to that
| of winter wheat Every miller last year
lost 10 cents on every barrel of -four ground.
| The millers have done more for the credit
| and honor of the state than anybody else.
| Our -four is sold all over the world. l have
| been elected chairman, but if anything can
| be done by which ! can be excused from the
| committee | would be very much pleased,
and would work just as hard. (Cries of Mol
| NoD If there is any man who can say that l
| ever took a cent iliegitimately, l will give
| him every dollar l am worth.
| MR.. M'GILL.
| A. R. McGill-Most of my votes on the first
| ballot came from farmers and business men.
| If I'm the candidate of the Millers' associa-
| ton, | would like to know something about
| it. I'm not the candidate of the Milers as
sociation, although I am proud OF that
| organization. l am the candidate OF
| no ring but the Republican party.
| Mol ody has got mortgage upon me for any
appointment. My friends are authorized to
use their influence, but none can say who
| shall appoint I have not promised Mr.
| Stofdock anything, although l SHALL if
| elected, take his matter into kindly consider
alton. l feel very friendly for him.
Mr.. McGill read letter from Bishop Ire
| land, congratulating him On his nomination,
and promising his support as an honorable
citizen. He said also that he suggested
| that it would be good idea to have minis
| tiers of Protestant denominations use their
influence, and he conceded that there was
| a very serious disaffection in the Fifth dis
| trict.
| Stanford Newell brought in G. A. Lafay-
| cite, of the Labor Journal, who asked the
committee to help him get rid of his part
ner. He wanted to advocate MeGill, he said,
with clear sailing.
After more explanation from Gov. Pills
bury and 81. E. Randall, on the millers'
question, and from Mr.. McGill on his in
| touuord StOrdOcty Col Hans Matt
son explained the difference and the jeal
ousy between the Norwegian and Scandi-
navian elements, stating that he
thought the convention had done
wisely by giving each representation and
the question of finances was taken up.
| The chairman of the executive committee,
| Mr.. Newell, was made treasurer He sug-
gested that every member of the committee
should make himself a committee of
one to get money and pour 1t
into the treasury. Gov. Pillsbury
said: I'VE in Minneapolis would
do something, and that very literally, and
he and DIR. Evans would take care of Min
neapolis Republicans" Stanford Newell
promised to get subscriptions from st.
| Paul Republicans, and general matters
were talked over.
A number of letters were read from
several editors of Republican newspapers
asking for money for their support AT
| night the executive committe held meet
| ing.
A long list of speakers has been fixed up.
Mr. O,Conuor Set Right.
| Owing to information which it seems was
| incorrectly given to GLOBE reporter, an in
Justice was done AID O'Connor, P. j. Giesen
and John McCauley, in this paper yesterday
morning. The point in question was state
ment relative to Mr.. O'Connor's political COM
binations. He said yesterday that he had
never said q word to Mr.. Berlandi, of the
| Sixth ward, regarding the register of deeds.
| That he had promised his support to p. j.
| Giesen, candidate for register of deeds, he
| denied, and he had never met Mr.. McCauley
| until yesterday. Mr.. O'Connor said that ex-

gentlemen were in the field he had no knowl-
