REMARKS BY RAMBLER.
Facts Suggested by the Late COnven-
Iion.


The occasion that has given so much cause
for Democratic rejoicings has been fruitful
of no small amount of Republican distress.
The politicians of the latter party perceptbly
manifest the painful positions they occupy
with united and harmonious Democracy to
oppose them. Notwithstanding the attempt
TO infuse into these people new supply of
enthusiasm through the fundamentally OF
war speeches from the lips of the celebrated
author, John A. Logan, whose hatred to the
Democratic party is only eQualed by
his whilom adherence of his present
love, there is no concealing OF the dread
that Hennepiu county is lost TO them forever.
The convention OF last Thursday demonstrated
two things beyond all further question.
First. that the Democrats OF this county are
unit for DR.. AmeS for governor; second, that
they are determined to have peace and har-
mony in their ranks during the coming con-
vention. When il is remembered that the
only probable cause OF difficulty, to-wit: the
leadership of Col. Glenn, was there tested.
established and acquiesced in, it is easy to
conclude that no future misfortune Of Suf-
hcient magnitude can arise TO break the
peaceful attitude the party now enjoys. And
while the success of the colonel on this occa-
sion may properly be attributed TO his ale
glance with DR.. AmeS and to the circumstance
that il was the wish of the latter that the
colonel should lead at this time, the Demo-
cracy of this city can have no serious reasons
for Directing TO him as u political leader.
Certainly the object of political organization
is TO align all the forces believing IN the
same principles and favoring the same
policies and leading them to victory.
And though it has been said OF the colonel
that he has clicked" and has made enemies
by reason of his bolt two years ago, 1t is
proved to-day that these very faults have
given him strength. Not that kicking or
''bolting' will bring success. In most OF in
stances such acts are the funeral notes or
political death. The coloners case is an ex-
ception to the rule; it has proved success
and established the generalShip of its author.
No Democrat who desires the advancement
Of his party refuse to support II because
he diSapprOyes its selections Of its managers,
On the motion of his opponent, in manner
that could not fail to discover his strength he
was selected over man whose personal pop
ularity and scholarly attachments are as ex-
tensvely and widely known as those Of any
citizen in the state. No man would for
moment consider the assertion that the result
was rebuke to MIR. Wilson. 1t must, there
fore be considered that it was Col. Glenn's
strength, not to say popularity, that placed
him at the head of one Of the best representa-
tive conventions the county ever saw. If
the enemies of the colonel will let him alone
] think it is quite safe to announce that he
will let them alone, otherwise it might be
safe to predict it is only question of time
when the colonel will have the most scalps.
LET us have peace"

I have heard considerable talk &&ely IA
voring the nomination of Hon. E. NJ. Wilson
for congress. He is said to have expressed
an unwillingness to make the contest on ac-
count of business engagements, but if the
people demanded il and the convention NOM
mates him it is to be hoped that he would
change his mind on this subject. With such
men as E. NJ. Wilson in this district, McDon-
in the First the congressional ticket OF our
state could be pointed to with pride, saying
nothing of the strength the state ticket would
acquire by such nominations
Titus Mareck is among the men whose
names may be presented at the county con-
veution for place upon the ticket. Register
of deeds would be the most agreeable to
Titus, and should he cons ent to accept to
accept the place his opponents will have to
look out.
Thomas W. Scott is said to have an eye on
the seat of Matt Walsh, in the treasurer's Of
fee. He is strong man, and the party
would have reason to congratulate itself upon
his nomination, provided that Matt is unable
to muster his friends in sufficient numbers to
FeSeat himself.

Ny friend Chris Gallagher grows irate ove
nothing. Rambler has not said anything in
these columns to justify a discussion on the
subject which Chris presents, and inasmuch
as l agree with him in most that he says, 1
have no occasion to take issue with him. His
most serious blunder was his attempt to fas-
ten the authorship of these ''ebulutions"
upon person entirely innocent of that re-
spons1bility.
~
have heard little said concerning the Of
fee of district judge. No one has been sug
gested for the place now held by J. p. Rea,
except Seagrave Smith, who contested Judge
Youngs seat two years ago. 1t has been
suggested by some Republicans that there
ought to be no political contest over this Of
Rce When Republicans make this sugges-
ton it would be well for them to offer nom
partisan candidate for the place, and one
whose legal attachments command the re-
ypect of the people and the bar.
Hennepin county can offer timber for the
supreme court IN the person of Judge Will
lam Lochren, than whom no better material
IAN be found in the state. RAMBLER.
