be made. Personal ambition must be lald
aside and the good of the cause become par
amount. The man who enters the Demo
cratic party agrees to abide the will OF the
majority. and when. in convention, the
party has spoken, that must be his polltlcal
law. These remarks were greeted WIN
prolonged applause, which ended as the
committee entered.
THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
A. T. Ankeny reported the list OF forty-
seven delegates to the congressional con.
vention. The idea at once seized some OF
the delegates that the committee should
have confined itself to the delegates TO THIS
convention, and not have gone outside, ana
the result was hubbub in which the SIKH
ward PLAYED star part. One delegate
grew so excited he rushed into pretane Ian
guage, which raised general laugh. The
name of John Lallv was substituted for
that of c. P. Shay. and several other
changes were made, through designations.
The corrected list of delegates is as follows:
First ward-R. n. Chase, G. A. Chase, } ohm
Martin, John w. Ortiz, A. l.. Lennon, Frank

THE UNIT RULE.
F. G. Holbrook sprung the unit rule"
on the convention in the following resolu-
ton;
Whereas, Henuepin county is entitled to
thirty-three delegates to the state convention
the largest representation OF any county IN
the state-and in order to make this influence
properly felt,
Resolved, That on all questions coming up
for consideration the chairman of our dele
CATION be and is hereby instructed to poll the
delegation and announce the whole vote OF
the county as the majority may determine.
If anybody objected to this he failed to
express himself. Ii. S. johnson made
speech in support of it, in which he cited
cases in which the Hennepin delegation, be-
cause it failed to vote as unit was met
and baffled at every turn. Had not New
York voted as unit at the Chicago con-
yention Grover Cleveland would not now be
president of the United States. E. NJ.
Wilson added his voice in favor of the reso-
luton, urging the influence it would give
the county and the cOunty'S candidates.
The resolution was then unanimously
adopted, and on motion of c. E. HashOw
the congressional delegation was similarly
instructed
ALL FOR AMES.
II. S. Johnson offered the following res
Resolved, That the delegation to the state
convention be instructed to vote first, last and
all the time for A. A. Ames for governor.
T. w. Scott, Z. NJ. Wilson and J. W.
Lawrence were appointed a committee to
bring Mayor Anles before the convention.
In moment there was perfect torrent OF
applause. and hats and umbrellas waved
vociferouSly in the air as the choice of the
convention entered. Col. Glenn said he
had, few months ago, the pleasure Of in
PRODUCING DR.. AmeS as the next mayor, and
il the city cast the same solid vote, he
would be equally prophetic in now intro
ducing the next governor of Minnesota.
The cheering was hearty and tremendous.
and when it had subsidized Mayor Ames
said
My friends. have been waiting some
little time to have the convention finish its
work. and have carefully avoided present
ing myself here, so that it could not be said
my hand was in the convention. | under
stand the convention, though conducted
with spirit, has been entirely unanimous,
and 1 congratulate YOU upon your work as
Democrats. l don't know you as delegates,
but | do know YOU all as good Democrats.
Ioval in the cause. The time has come and
is suspicious when the Democracy, not of
Hennepin county alone, but of the whole
country, is coming to the front, for DemOc-
racy means the people. neither more nor
less. l would only say to you who will go
down to st. Paul as delegateS-and | say
it simply as citizen and Democrat-that
my one request is that you let the old
questions of re rest. Rise above them and
seize new and living issues. The times
call for them and the Democracy of Min
nesota must grapple with those questions
which make the great issues of to-
day. Grapple with them and live by them,
though they carry you to defeat Or victory.
The people are looking, the state over, to
the Democratic party for the relief they ex-
pect. Let ME see something in
your resolutions touching that
great and important question of
labor. Applause. OF the monopolies
that are grinding the poorer classes to the
earth. These are the great and important
issues of the day, and we must take hold
and fight them to the bitter end. APP
plauSe. L ain here as private Democrat,
working for the success of the party only.
1t is pleasant to look over this large cOnyen-
ton, for large conventions are always
pleasant, as they more nearly represent
the people. | am merely here to thank you,
gentlemen. hope to see you present a
soliC front to the convention at ST. Paul"
c. A. Ebert proposed three cheers for
the mayor, which were given with will.
On motion Of E. NJ. Wilson the delegates
were authorized to fill any vacancies which
might occur, and the convention adjourned

In skirmishing among the congressional del
egation it was learned that the question of a
candidate has never been thoroughly can
vassed. Mayor Rice of ST. Paul has many
