| Some Democrats ErOEa the Flour
City who Will Attend.

CITY ~ hO kEl Attend
Politics took an upward turn in Mime
apoliS and i'll many Democratic circles the
conference Of to-day was discussed with
abounding interest. Of those who might
be expected to attend such meeting there
were those who were pronounced in favor
of being present and those who took no eS-
special interest in the matter. 1t is note
worthy that only those were interested who
had made up their minds to attend. So far
as could be learned the following from this
city will be present:
Mayor Ames, Judge Rand, Orvllle Rine-
hart, James V. McHugh, K. Koortgaard,
Alex Mobeck, Capt. P. P. Swenson, FL. o. Pc
terson, George NJ. Harbitz. Nils Oleson, Hans
Peterson, K. b. Forrest, Chris a. Gallagher,
Major r. B. Henderson and Thomas ". Scott.
1t was said last night that Hon. e. NJ.
Wilson would be present, but the state
ment is given for what it is worth. Per-
haps as many as thirty may attend. while
many place the number as high as fifty. In
the discussions which took place it is evi-
dent that Messrs. Doran and Kelly have
few friends among the active Democrats of
Minneapolis or rather, their friends were
conspicuously absent from all of the gath
erings which have been held, which fact
excited no comment. 1t is only those who
favor change in party policy who have
been stirring about and making themselves
| known.
WHAT MAYOR AAIEs SAYS.
Mayor Ames will attend. He said last
night that he was interested i'll anything
that affected or related to the Democratic
party Of the state.
81 will co. said he, 'just because this is a
matter in which every lover of justice and
| right is interested. If the conference re-
solves itself into personal affair purely, 1
will leave it, then and there. 1 am oppo sed
| on principle to the plan on which MeSsrs.
Doran and Kelly dispense the party offices,
! and reject the idea that they have any
| right, in appointments, to thwart
the public will. Inasmuch as we
have no Democratic congressman, there is a
| place for such men, in a measure, but they
| should never be arrayed against the people.
| When the state central committee conferred
| certain powers upon them, it was merely to
make them the medium between the people
and the appointing power, but it was the
| people first, all the time. They have repeat
| edly made recommendations in the face of
what they must have known was the popular
desire and now the people will speak. With
me, it is Democracy first, and this, 1 maintain,
| is not democratic"
COL. GLENN WILL NOT ATTEND.
Col. Glenn very emphatically said he
would not be at the conference.
II am not getting even with anybody, just
| HOW, anu luy ulOOu EOWS alOnS quite COOuy.
| Everybody knows was a candidate for the
| postoffice and did not get it and if I were to
| attend that meeting it would be supposed
am sore and want revenge. So l will stay at
| home. am Democrat and my opinions are
| well known, so it is unnecessary for me to
| state my position, even after the outrageous
lies the Pioneer Press has printed. AS far as
| Dorau is concerned that is another matter.
II the people see fit to send me 1 will go to
the state convention and then Doran and
will have our little settlement
The coloneFS face relaxed and he con-
cluded:
call Doran pistaloouic ghost. and every
body that knows me knows what that means
That's ali.
JUDGE RAND's IDEAS.
Judge Lars NJ. Rand is very enthusiastic
over the meeting.
''I speak as one of the young Democracy -
he said. ''We have now the graudest oppor-
| tunity of our history to redeem the state
| from Republican miSrule and place its gov
| ernment in the hands of the people. First
| however, we must purify the d lrty by cleans
| ing it of every semblance of bossism, and
that, l take it, is the object of tomorrow s
! conference. am not in favor Of doing any in
justice TO Doran and Kelly, and do not pro-
pose to read them out of the party or any
| such nonsense. They Democrats, and
just as good as other Democrats but no bet
ter, mind you. At present they are above the
rank and file of the party and occupy the pos
| ition of bosses and dispensers of offices. This
| is not Democratic and wont go down. The
people are supreme, not two men, don't care
| who they are. We must look to the young
Democracy this fall for the hard work that
| will carry US to victory, and we cannot
carry the young Democracy so long
| as we maintain couple of old
| fogies high horse above
anybody else. We want no men above us
who stand ready to sacrifice the party for
their own selfish and ambitious ends. If they
| will come down and be of us and with us,
well and good and we will carry TO victory the
peoples candidates this fall. We can win.
| We want man VINO is so broad and liberal in
his views that he will carry with him the SYM
pathy of the laborers and of the farmers: we
want a man who will command the friendship
and respect of the ScandinavianS, who, natur-
ally Democrats, are some of them Republi-
cans through the force Of circumstances.
Who can do this? There is one man, and that
is A. A. Ames of Minneapolis. His whole
record and career show him to be the firm and
consistent friend OF labor and wherever the
shine OF the dinner pail is seen,
there has DR.. Ames friend. He will carry
their vote heartily and spontaneously He
will get the farmer vote because he is known
far and wide as the untiinching enemy of cor
ruption, of rings and of monopoies, whether
in milling or railroad interests. He will carry
the Scandinavian vote, because every North
man ia the state knows and loves him as
man OF strong public character. He has
| shown himself 10 be a believer in equal rights,
and in his eyes, there is no distinction be-
tween the andinavian-American citizen and
the native born citizen. They hAiiava that
