4 STRONG TICKET.

The Democracy of Minnesota is to be
congratulated upon the harmony that
per7aded the deliberations of their con-
vention at st. Paul on Tuesday last.
Perhaps never in the history of political
conventions i'll this State has unanimlty
of sentiment and choice been 50 eAec-
lively combined as upon this Individual
occasion. The effect will be marvellous.
1T will show that the Minnesota Demo-
cracy during the Forthcoming campaign
will present to their opponents an almost
impregnable political fortress--one that
only party division and dishonesty
can knock down. If anything could
have tended to strengthen the ticket it
would have been i'll having the Irish ele-
1aent Represented thereon, but as we do
not hear even 1nrlrnnnr of complaint on
this account we infer that our Irish
friends are completely satisfied at the re-
suit. The beauty OF the ticket is its
comprehensiveness in representation
With the exception Of the Irish every
other important national element is
represented. Every one on the ticket
will bring TO the others vast amount of
strength, aud this combined with hard
campaign work will assure success at
the polls. The following is the ticket
A. A. Ames, Minneapolis, Governor
John Frank. Mower County, Lieutenant
Governor Luther Jaeger, Hennepin
County, Secretary Of State; A. G..
Lundberg, st. Louis County, Auditor
Henry Poehler, Sibley County, State
Treasurer; John S. Ives, Orookston,
Attorney-General George T. Gardner,
Of Freeborn County, Clerk Of the Su-
preme Court.
The strongest man on the ticket is un-
doubtedly Mayor Ames, and his record
is too well known to require lengthy
reference. His popularity with the
workingnaen of this city dates back to q
time when it was not an object to court
their favor. He has never missed an op-
portunity to advance their interests in SO
far as lay in the power Of one individual.
John Frank, nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, is prosperous and highly es-
teenaed farmer of Mower County. He
served in the war Of the rebellion, and
at the termination Of the unpleasant
ness" turned his sword into plowshare
and titled the soil. He is popular with
the farming class and will guard
their interests with an eagle eye.
Luther Jaeger, the nominee for Secre-
tary OF State. is a Norwegian, and is edi-
tor OF the Budstiken, published in Min
neapolis. He is a journalist Of rare in
telleetual gifts, and is deservedly popu-
lar with his countrymen. The next on
the list is John Ives, candidate for At
torney-G General. Mr.. Ives is a success
full lawyer of Crookston. He came first
to Minnesota in 1875, settling in Hutch
inson. He is u man Of great personal
popularity, and is eminently fitted from
his long experience in the courts Of law
to fill credltably and with proficiency the
Office Of Attorney General. MI. Ives
will prove 3 tower H strength to the
ticket. Henry Poeh1er, the nominee fol
State Treasurer, is an old and respected
resident 81 Henderson, Selby County.
He has served q term il Congress, and
the experience thus gained admirably
f ,ffits him for the Office Of State Treasurer.
