Minnesota tn have some representation in the
Dooular branch of congress. When Mr.. Rice
takes his seat in congress he will be assigned
TO prominent positions on committees, which,
coupled with his ability, will enable him TO 90
more for the material interests OF TINS DIS
trict and state than all of our present con-
pressional delegation. He will not cast
frigid gloom over Washington requiring the
use of listers in July, as does our present
representative, who short time ago when
accepting the nomination of his party, took
occasion to criticise President Cleveland ana
the present administration: neither VIII ne
legislate for his private interests, as Gllnllan
did when he endeavored, as member of the
state legislature, to disorganize Aitkin county
TO avoid paying taxes on his pine lands
MIR. Rice has shown himself by his works.
He is the father of the railroad system OF
Minnesota which has so developed this state.
He built the first railroad in the state, extend
from St. Paul to the site of your great Min
neapols exposition. He laid the foundation
for these great enterprises but did not en-
rich himself at public expense in so doing,
and retired from the roads ne had lnaugu-
rated with much less than his services war
ranted. And DOW / want to ask you men OF
Minneapolis to give our Mayor Rice as
cordial q support for congress as we in ST.
Paul will give your Mayor Ames for gov
ernor, and the result will not be doubtful.
This action will be the dawn of the millennium
the two mayors will weld our common inter-
ests so closely that no future rivalry or
jealousy can make a breach. And now, per-
haps, may be pardoned for
WORD PERSONAL.
The Democratic party is greater than any
man. and he who would attempt to use the
party merely for personal profit and aggrand-
izement would Justly merit your cenSure. Po-
litical parties of necessity call upon their
members to discharge political trusts, and
such trusts should be held as sacred as those
imposed in business life, and as honorably
executed. When this great Democratic party
was directed by the people to march upon
Washington, it was done with the expectation
that honest and competent men would
be put on guard. can truth
fully say that the Jefersonlan
standard of honesty and capability is
the only 'sboss'' which has held sway i'll
Minnesota since Grover Cleveland entered the
White house. For the honest men of the
party who may have differed with US relative
to the selection of the public officials, we
have only the kindest feelings and regrets
that conflicting interests could not always be
harmonized. For the demagogues who de-
manded to ride over US rough-shod and reap
where they had not sown, we have no apollo
gies to offer, no concessions to ask. Your
election of Coy Ames and Congressman
Rice will give additional strength to our
party and will largely srelieve those of us
| who, in response to the call of the party,
! have endeayored to carry the standard in
| manner to reflect credit on the organization
and the state. No better choice could have
| been made, and 1 hail the action of the state
| convention at st. Paul and the Hennepln
| county convention yesterday and your action
| here to-day as the dawn of a Lew era for the
| Democratic party Of Minnesota.
