can he selected who has the confidence
of the people, and i'll whose hands the high
and important public trusts repo ed in the
executive will be administered equltably and
intelligently for the benefit of all the people
of our state. The Democracy of Ramsey
county believe that Hon. Albert Schefer IS
man whose record for honesty, integrity, IN,
well established that even the over
cautious representatives of the great
farming element of this state, WIZ
whose demands for relief We heartily sympa
thiZe, find III him the true champion OF their
special interests; man whose views on the
all.absogbing ,stion of tariff reform, on
railroad and other monopolies, as well as on
the question of securing TO labor its Just dues,
are so much in accord with the true pr1ncl-
pies of Democracy would lead our party 10
victory in the coming contest
This being true, we believe that the NOM
would result in the triumph of DEMOCRATIC
principles in this state and give US assured
victory in the nation.
We, therefore recommend him to our state
convention for its nomination as governor,
and herewith instruct our delegation to that
convention to use all honorable means to Sc
cure that result.
In presenting the resolutions Mr..
Lienau said that the committee had
deemed it wise. in the matter of select
ing a candidate for governor, to join
hands with the Farmers alliance, who
had already Endorsed the
CANDIDACY OF ALBERT SCHEFFER.
He believed that with Mr.. Schetfer'S
name on the ticket the Democracy could
be successful in the county election.
G. d. O'Brien was of the opinion that
the welfare of the county could
best be attained by a sup
port of the resolutions. Mr.. Schef-
fer's name was household word
in every home in the state. What was
wanted was man of character, and one
who would represent the Democracy.
He thought Mr.. Scheffer would prove
an efficient and faithful servant, and
also that if nominated he would be
elected.
John Fl. Ives said that notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Scheffer had been men,
toned as a candidate for governor by
the Republican party, he believed the
convention did well in presenting his
name for the consideration of the
Democracy. Gresham failed to receive
the nomination for the presidency at
Chicago. Why? Because he was too
good man. For the same reason Mr.,
| Scheffer would fail to receive the Re
publican nomination for governor. He
was heartily in sympathy with the ac-
| ton of the convention.
Everything went along swfmmfngly:
up to this time, and it looked as if
| the proceedings of the convention
| were not going to be married
| by single dissenting voice.
| No sooner had Mr.. Ives seated himself
| when Delegate David Fitzgerald arose
and said Its a strange thing if we cali-
not find an honest man in the Demo
| cratic party without going to the Repub-
| lican party to find one" Mr.. Fftz-
| gerald was alone in his sentiments, and
tho nd nf tha ii aIn ri .,f
| him as if he was
A SPIRIT FROM ANOTHER woRLD.
When the motion by which the reso-
lutions were adopted was put Mr.. Fitz-
| gerald diSSented in firm and loud NO"
CONVENTION NOTES.
Pat COnley, when not engaged in
| pulling the wires, was telling the story
OF his trip to the Pacific.
Pat Egan, who has been attending
conventions ever since the time of the
flood, had front seat, and was ready
and willing to crate Oh the slightest
| provOcatiOn.
Dick O'ConnOr was conspicuous by
his absence, but Dan was there and
held up his end.
Some of the relics of the late Prohibit
| ton convention were conspicuous On
| the walls of the convention hall.
p. I. Kavanagh and Johnny Pewters
were observed to shake hands under the
motto: LET Us Have Peace"
| c. d. O'Brien was on deck and paid a
glorious tribute to the genial Albert.
| III. III. Fuller was all smiles. Kelly
and Doran had been downed and his
revenge was complete.
| William Pitt Murray, who began at
| tending conventions long before Arson
ever thought of playing base ball, never
said word.
Somebody remarked that If the Re-
publicans were sharp they would turn
around and nominate Edmund Rice.
| Said a discounted Onlooker, as he
filed out of the hall: "That man Fitz-
gerald had as much show in that con-
Vention as snow ball would in hadeS.' -
