HERE'S HARMONY.
The Democratic City Convention Nonin-
ates a Strong Iicket-P. 3. Winston
for Mayor -Balance ofthe Ticket,

Last Tuesday was great day for the
Minneapolis Democracy. Those who
prophesied quarrel were disappointed,
but 1t was an agreeable disappointment,
lnasmuch as the Republicans were the
ones who went on record as political
prophets. Nominations were made,
and seconded with much earnestness,
but perfect harmony, possessed the
entire gathering. The delegates were
there to nominate the strongest ticket
possible, and they did it without tric-
tion. Their choice for mayor, comp.
troller and city treasurer were the b9st
thac could have been made. ALI previ-
Gus party differences were buried be-
You'd resurrection and when the conven-
ton had completed it's labors, there was
universal feeling OIL satisfaction over
the result.
at 1890 a. m. Chairman Byrnes OF the
city committee called the convention to
order in Turner hall. There were few
spectators in the gallery at the time, but
the curious ones soon began to gather.
When the delegates took their seats,
the chair announced that it was in order
to nominate a temporary. chairman
Aid. McArdle Of the Third ward pre-
sented the name of A. A. Ames fol
temporary chairman, and the neat little
speech of the Third warder was re-
ceived with cheers. Joseph Jepsun
then got the floor, aud nominated NJ.
w. Glenn, but the latter said be was a
,, delegate by proxy, and was therefore
ineligible for the office, and so he with
drew his name. A. Il. Ankeny then
moved that Mayor Ames be nominated
by reclamation, and it was carried
without murmur. Mayor Ames &C.
cepted the honor in his usual character
istlc way, and then Charles A. Corn
man vas elected temporary secretary.
A credentials committee consisting of
one from each ward was appointed and
in short time the committee made it's
report. There were few contesting
delegations, and the work Of the COM
mittee was not laborious. Wnen the
report was accepted, Ed. "a. Stevens
moved that the temp rary organic ation

to close the Irish Nationalist and their
leader confidently appeal. The Eng-
lish people will pronounce the final yer
dict, and their verdict will carry costs.
THE CITY DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The Democrats of Minneapolis have
reason to feel proud of the result Of last
Tuesdays city convention. The ticket
is an exceptionally strong one, ald it is
difficult to see how so strong a ticket
could have been selected without a
more careful study of the timber in the
hands of the convention before hand;
but good judgment, coupled with a
general feeling for the welfare of the
party, governed the entire proceedings,
and the result demonstrates this clearly
The nominee for mayor, P. B. Winston
is man Of excellent qualities aud good
judgment, and the success which has
crowned his business enterprises shows
what he is made of. The party that
nominated HIM honored themselves as
weli as him. He Will bring to the
Office Of mayor all that business tact
and sound reasoning that has made
him a wealthy citizen. His record as
a citizen we caa all point with pride
to, and the city at large will have rea-
son to feel proud of Mayor Winston. By
re. nominating Comptroller Holbrook
the Democratic party carried out the
wishes of nine-tenths Of the people Of
this city. He is an efficient officer and
without exception the best Comptroller
the city ever had. He will enter on his
second term of office with two years OF
valuable experience, and the voter who
hesitates to cast his ballot for him, will
be an enemy to good, clean, honest and
efficient government. What the city
wants is efficiency in it's different de.
partments, aud no more efficient man
can be found for comptroller than the
present incumbent, When the indie
pendent voter comes to take his choice
between Mr.. Holbrook and the Repub-
lican nominee tor comptroller, it will
not take him long to decide. T. J.
Buxton, the nominee for treasurer,
needs no introduction to the voters OF
Hennepin county. The balance Of the
ticket is proportionately strong, with
few exceptions in the aldermanic tickets
that could not and should not be-
elected if there were ITO opposition to
item. Their present affiliations con-
demn them, and it is thel. 8, and not the
par5y's fault, that they are on the ticket.

GOODWIN SMITHS MzNDAOITY.

.Prcf. Goodwin Smith, of Toronto,
never misses an opportunity to display
his hatred for the Catholic religion. 1t
would be hard to expect accuracy of
statement from the professor, especially
when his desire for notcriety leads him
to seek publication for one of his lucu-
bratians in the London Times. In bis
latest utterance, however, this gentle
man has surpassed even his previous
performances. He adopts as his own
the absurd fallacy which has been so
industriously propagated by Un,onist
orators and writers, that Belfast Or any
other portion Of Ulster could sver afford
to separate from the rest of Ireland.
He proceeds to declare that sin the
doom OF the Protestant and commercial
community Of Montreal Belfast may
read Der own. She would have to fight
for her strengthen, even if she were not
disposed on nobler grounds to fight for
the Union and for her place in a great
nation. -
This is very old story, and it is
nothing more than story. Anything
Belfast possesses owes its existence
mainly to the contributions of Irish
Catholics and Nationalist. The pros
perity of Ulster, it is admitted, is due
Chiefly to an excellent system Of bank
ing, which secures it's manufacturers
the monetary support which they re-
quire in order to carry ON their vast
transactions. How is this assistance
secured? It 1s obtained by establishing
branch banks which. acting as feeders,
draw to Belfast the golden streams
which set the mill wheels rolling. Let
us Just see where those branches have
been established The record stands
thus:

Republican that should be honored With
seat in the city from that
ward. All this uproar in that shot
bed' of Republicanism is very encour-
aging to the Democrats, who could
scarcely get a seat in church there on
Sunday, because of their political faith.
To see these pillars of the party kick
ing over the traces'' is to say the least
amusing. If the 'cirizens' movement
fail, which it likely will, there is no al
tentative left for them but to support
the Democratic nominee, and this they
will do. That is right. They will be
welcome to the Democratic camp, but
on the understanding only that when
they come into that fold for all, rich
and poor, native or foreign born, they
must abide by the majority.
There is trouble in the Republican
camp up in the Ninth ward, which
threatens to break the party all TO
pieces. Before the convention it was
conceded that Id. Vogt was entitled
to denomination. A few hours be-
fore the nominations were made John
Hughes informed the delegates that he
was candidate and must have Vogt's
place. He did rot get it, aud his friends
are threatening vengeance. They say
they will not support Vogt because he
did not get his nomination honestly.
nv
Thus the dissatisfaction wave rolls
over the city where the Republicans
least expected it would. Every effort
is being made to harmoniZe the van
quished, but there seems to be no COM
fort for them, save the slaughterlng OF
the successful ones at the polls Novem-
bel 6, and this is the year the Repub.
licans were counting ON majority in
the city council, besides a majority in
the Park, School AID other boards. IT
they succeed in retaining their present
strength in the city council they Will be
doing we'll.
The Republican legislative corven-
ton for the Twenty eighth district was
held at Anoka last Saturday, and after
going through the ordinary preamble Of
a convention, nominated Daniel Ander-
sou of Isanti county, Alyah Eastman
and Jared Benson Of Anoka. and e. F..
Comstock of EIennepin East. When

Messrs. Fletcher. Langdon, Pillsbury

come when such honors should be
thrust on them, cannot understand how
such a resolution could pass that con-
vention without some friends of theirs
interpreting mild objection. just mild
enough TO kill the whole business Of: for
a time. The General had evidently
posted the delegates before the conven-
tion was held, and hence it was that the
resolution went through without a
ripple. He has been in political battles
before now and knows when to ''load
up'' for the enemy. 1t was a surprise
to the Minneapolis aspirants for sena-
torial honors, and they all admit that
they were caught mapping that time.
