A Circular Sent Out Asking Demo-
Gratis to the Conference.
The anti-Kelly-Doran Democrats, who met
in secret session several days ago in room
9 at the Merchants have started out to down
''the bosses,'' as they call them, with deep
red hue in their eye, which portends business
of g prominent type. II. II. Fuller, who was
made secretary of the meeting, and in whose
hands were placed the ribbons that are in
tended to guide the loose forces, has devoted
himself to hard, all-wool rustling and
he claims that the success with which he has
met has swelled his heart with confidence that
Kelly and Doran must go. Mr.. Fuller was
seen last night and opened his lips to GLOBE
reporter. He said:
We propose to take the power of distribu-
ting official patronage out of the hands OF
Kelly and Doran, and place it in the hands of
the people, where it belongs. These men
have been having their way too long, and
have held their hands over the mouths or the
people until they are inclined to break
loose and cry out against them. Just so long
as Doran is chairman of the state central
committee, it is impossible for the people to
get satisfaction through that body, and the
only way that they can free themselves is
shrough the breaking up of the old committee
and remodeling it in such way that Kelly
ana Doran will be completely shut out. It
syill make no difference if the state conven-
fion reconsiders and rescindS the resolution
passed last year, placing the power Of doing
out offices in the hands of Kelly and Dorau;
u Mess Doran is removed from the chairman
ship of the committee, the people will be ham,
pered and their voice will not be heard.
THE CIRCULAR LETTER.
A circular letter has been prepared, signed
by ]. J. Thornton, chairman Of the secret
session, and II. H. Fuller, secretary, which
will be sent out through the state to every
fruIn ho dal
upon to fight Kelly and Doran. This letter
states that meeting will be held July 1, in
Pfeifer's hall, corner of Wabasha and Eighth
streets, and that the attendance of every
Democrat who is in sympathy with this move
ment against Kelly and Doran is earnestly
solicited that the gathering may be
a representative one Influenced by
naught save the earnest desire to
promote the best interests of the
Democratic party of Minnesota. The letter
conference will be furnished by the secretary
TO such Democrats as desire to attend and
who are in sympathy with the purposes of
the meeting. Mr.. Fuller said:
81 want every anti-Kelly and Doran Deme-
crat to address me at once, SO that L may be
able to furnish them with tickets immedi-
ately."
The tickets which will give entree to this
conference will read:
Admit Mr. of - city or town and -
county, to the Democratic conference at st.
Paul on July l, at p. M, at Pfeifer's hall, by
order of the committee on invitation.
II. H. FULLER, Secretary.
WILL RUN IT THEMSELVES.
Every ticket sent out will be signed by Mr..
Fuller, and without his signature, a ticket of
admission will be worthless.
1--WE don't PROPOSE" said Mr.. Fuller, ito
have the Kelly-Doran gang run in a lot Of
men and in an undetermined way control the
convention. Our scheme is to so arrange this
matter that the applicant for an official ap-
T pointment shall be benefited by the voice of
the people Of his district and not subject to
the whims of two men alone. We propose to
ihave men in that conference who will
I bring before it facts that will open the eyes
of the people. There have been cases where
men have applied for public office backed by
the recommendation Of prominent citizens Of
their district, and they have been thrown
overheard to give place to some friend Or
customer Of Kelly or Doran. and
the wishes Of the people have been given
no consideration whatever. Such
cases as these will be brought before
the conference and thoroughly investigated.
1t looks now as though the attendance would
be large and the conference an interesting
and telling one. At this meeting an address
will probably be proposed stating the situa-
ton as it is, and sent out to the people
through the press and in circular form"
The circular letter calling the conference,
contains the preamble and resolutions
adopted by the secret meeting at the Mer
chants, which, correctly published, are as fol-
WIS:
Whereas, Those present at this informal
meeting of Democrats, recognize the fact
that the Democratic party of this state has
fallen into the hands Of two men, who have
set themselves up as political ''bosses," upon
the authority of a state central committee
which of itself possessed no such power;
and
Whereas These bosses have been eXercis-
ing their powers to strengthen the influence
and protect the exactions Of railroads and
other monopolies; and
. Whereas, The Democratic party has won
its triumphs, whenever it did triumph in the
past, as the advocate and protector of the
people, against all forms OF I'M Justice and Op
preston; and
Whereas 1t is self-evident that the Demo-
cratic party of this state must rid itself of
these burdens, or accept inevitable and over
whelming defeat; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the secretary of this meet
ing is hereby directed to issue invitations to
all Democrats who desire the publication and
elevation of the party to meet for consulta-
ton in the city of St. Paul, July l, 1886, at 2
o'clock p. M, to take such steps as may place
them in full sympathy with the efforts of the
people of the state to right the wrongs from
which they now suffer, and thereby give the
party that triumph at the polls which on that
basis alone it will deserve
1.-The impression that Mr.. Donnelly is the
prime mover is not correct" said Mr.. Fuller
HE was present by invitation, and hai
nothing to do with starting the fight
HERBERT's PARTNER CONFIDENT.
Gen. S. P. Jennison of Red Wing was asked
about the local fight in the Republican ranks
in his county yesterday, and expressed the
opinion that it would not affect the
success of the party, as it would
end with the convention. The feud
between Surveyor General Chandler and
Herbert, he said, dated for several years back
and grew out Of Her ert's opposition to
Strait and some other Republican nominees
in the past. The local campaign which ended
in the recent county convention was the hot
test ever known in the county and the result
was a defeat for Chandler by a large majority
as his candidates were all defeated
II don't think that Chandler has
any hope of securing the congressional
nomination." said Gen. Jennison, land if he
becomes candidate it will probably be SIM
ply to down Herbert. If he comes out
squarey for the nomination he will probably
make a stong fight owing to his ability in
manipulating caucusses. However, Chand-
Ter is party man and his fight will end with
the convention"
