! liugame-all of them Not man who sat in
| the last legislature, who ever did anything
! for the people, was left. We have found
that it is the party of fair promises and foul
works. lVociferous cheers and applause. |
| They nominated A u. Rice for !ieutenant-gov-
| ernor, man who sat III the senate and when
the house railroad bill came up in the senate
made an amendment to strike out all but
the enacting clause. AS for the moral
CHARACTER OF DIR. AMEs,
I was present when that was discussed, and
they couldn't find anything about him that
anybody could condemn. TApplause. Why
/ look at this high license question. What
! good has it done TO Minneapolis? 1t has
simply left Minneapolis with as many saloons
as it ever had, and added the ST. Paul prosti-
! tutes TO their own.
Mr.. Stewart-Whege in the name of God is
! there bigger ring than Fletcher aud Pills
! bury?-Men who put up elevators all along
the Manitoba road aud when a farmer wants
to put up little store house he cannot. But
the millerS are now getting scared, and they
are talking about getting Blaine to come
| here and stump the state. They see they
are liable to get left this fall. Great APP
piauSe.
IGNATIUS SPEAKS.
Here Ignatius DonnelIy saw it was time
! to get in his work. and he made his usual
characteristic speech:
/ If the pending question was a motion to in
dorSe DR.. AmeS as d big-hearted kind-hearted
! gentleman, would vote with you; or, if it
was motion indorsing him for his personal
good qualities, | would be in favor of il, but it
| is proposition TO indorse him for governor of
this state. You will observe that in the report
| | made this morning i'll the committee of
thirty. l made no reflections upon Dr. Ames.
| | tried to treat the matter as one of
principle. 1t is not that prefer the Repub-
| lican party instead of the Democratic party,
lNnrr l-rNnK hn a Sfnn6
Michael Doran and P. H, Kelly, and behind
Michael Doran and P. H. Kelly stands ]. j..
! Hill. A voice: "Ratsl' ROars of laugh
ter. DR.. Ames took stand and declared
| against these men, but in the convention he
was powerless. They made him their nomi
nee and he had to yield to them. Now, you
are workingmen and you know I stand with
you. When you indorse DR.. Ames you in
dorse Michael Doran, Patrick Kelly and
James j. Hill, and you give the triumph to
| the worst enemies of the workingmen in this
! state. If you elect him you will regret it as
sure as the sun rises in the morning.
Cries of Time, timer brought DON
nelly off his feet, and Mr.. Geke, a St.
Paul wOrkingman, said:
| We are not here to make a compromise
with any party. We don't want to step out
| of one trap into another.
DO NOT FAVOR THE RING.
Cornelius DOuane, of Minneapolls-I have
been given to understand that John S. Pills
bury has been made chairman of the state
Republican central committee to-day. Now,
| l want to ask what faction he represents.
| Mr.. Donnelly-I object to the gentleman
| bringing this up unless l am given an Oppor-
| tunity to answer him.
The Chair-Let the gentleman have a
| chance to speak
choose from? The gentleman says behind
DR.. Ames is Michael Doran, Pat Kelly and
Jim Hill. Now, which are we to choose, Mr..
Pilsbury or Mr.. Hill, or Mr.. Fletcher or r.
! b. Langdon? "a voice-and w. ID. Wash
| burn.) Yes, and w. d. Washburn? Where
| can you find worse enemies to the working
men than these men?
Mr.. Doughey, an editor of Big Stone,
counseled moderation. He said the laboring
question was coming up and there were
| sounds of the rumbling OF a Juggernaut,
| which would continue to rumble and WOlid
crush beneath it all the enemies of labor in
| time.
j. A Johnson, the mover of the Ames reso-
lntiOn-I would like to call your attention,
gentlemen, to the answer Jay Gould made be-
! fore the New York legislature, when they
asked what his politics were. He said: when
we are in Democratic district Demo
.crats, and when are in a Republican dis
trict we are Repu bicanS, but first, last and all
the time we are Erie men, Now that is the
way with the friends OF Mr.. Hill. When they
are in Democratic district they are Demo
Gratis, and when they are in Republican dis
! trict they are Republicans, but they are al
| ways Manitoba men. But there is Mr.. Don
nelly, he has been made sucker by these
men. and nothing would be more pleasing 10
| the Democratic bosses than to get him out OF
| the way.
Mr.. NewelI-If you shake both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties up in a bag,
| they will come out six, and a half-doZen.
| Mr.. DOnnely then offered this resolution
as an amendment:
| Resolved, That in view of the defects in the
| Democratic platform, we have resolved that
we will indorSe no nominations.
A motion to lay the amendment upon the
table was made. Donnelly sat by and didn't
say word. The chair put this motion and
it was carried almost unanimously, all those
who were in favor of
! INDORSING DIR. AMES
voting for it. and those who took side with
MI Donnelly voting in the negative. Don
nelly then arose with triumph sparkling
from both eyes. He informed the chair
that the motion laying the amendment upon
the table carried the motion to indorse DR..
Ames with it. Immediately c. l.. Locke.
of Minneapolis, jumped from his seat and
renewed the motion to indOrse DR.. AmeS.
There were a score Of seconds. Ignatius
| Domelly renewed his amendment to lay
upon the table. but before it was seconded,
Chairman CasserlY put the question, and
the motion to indorse DR.. AmeS was car
ried with the widest applause.
IgnatiuS DOnnelly started to go toward
the door, but Erick Olson, of Martin
county, Gibbs boomer, throwing his arms
about, shrieked at everybody, I'VE are
farmers and you invited us to come here,
and everything we do you vote it down."
A motion by Mr.. Locke to indorse John
Frank for lieutenant governor was carried
unanimously.
A motion to indorse the candidacy of
Aid. NJ. +. Kahn for clerk of the courts,
which was proposed by F. S. Smith, was
also carried without objection.
There was an attempt to bring in the
minority report of Mr.. Donnelly, which
was generally objected to. +. S. Smith
moved to adjourn. but some wanted to have
the thing out, and the motion was lost.
Erick Olson again broke loose, and max
ing sjeps toward the chairman, yelled
wildly that the farmers had come into the
gathering and were insulted. The chair
allowed him to parade all his grievances,
and he finally sat down.
DonnelIy then dropped this resolution in
|
Resolved, That we adopt the minority re-
port of the committee SO far as it is a true
recital of facts, and except the clause recon-
menting the endorsement of A. r. McGill for
governor.
He informed everybody in the meeting
that there did not seem to be a spark of
generosity among them, and every PROPOSE
ton coming from the farmers was sat down
upon. Vice President Atwood, of the
Farmers alliance. explained dryly that this
was not the report of the committee. but
was written by Mr.. Donnelly.
Donnelly, urging his resolution, asked
You have Endorsed DIR. Ames, but do you pro-
pose to indorse the Democratic party, and
the Democratic platform with its horrible
omissions, or do you indorse DR.. Ames, not
because he is a Democrat but because he
will rise up superior to his party.
A motion to adjourn was made but failed
to carry, and a motion to lay the resolution
upon the table was not entertained. Mr..
Donnelly's speech had its effect upon some
who were not fully informed as to parlia-
| mentary practice and he had managed to
