SOLID FOR AMES
Hennepin County Democrats
Hold 6 Memorable County i
Convention,
And Send a Solid Delegation,
First, Last and Al
ways Ames.
Wilson Men Force a Fight,
Which Develops an
Ugly Tone.
Resolutions Roasting the
Twin Bosses and Their Lo-
cal Representation,
And Declaring Hennepin
County Has No Choice Be-
yond DR.. Ames.
The Magnetic Mayor Speaks
and Boldly Takes His
Stand.

The prediction that harmony would
brood over the Democratic county con-
vention of Hennepin yesterday after
noon was about as wide Of the mark as
ever prophecy could be. There was
no actual blOodshed and no real fight
ing, the battle being confined to words:
nor is there any reason to believe the
storm will do more than clear the at
moSphere. But there certainly was
storm, and both sides were to blame, and
will be held responsible for any evil
results. The Ames men are sweating
under a sense Of the wrong they be-
lieved was inflicted by Secretary Miller,
of the state committee, at the dictation
of Doran and Kelly, and had made up
their minds to right that wrong as far as
Hennepin county could do it. On the
other hand, looking to results after the
state convention, it was the work of
geneIalship for the Wilson forces,
with their meager numbers, to precipi-
tate fight in which certain defeat
awaited them.
The fight is over now until tomorrow.
and the Democracy have put themselves
on record-spOkeni in no uncertain tones,
as it was frequently phrased yesterday
as solid for Ames for governor. 1t is
late now for this result to go thun-
dering down the state, but the del
egates propose to make the most of
it. 1t was a warm fight, and those
who believe in a fighting Democ-
racy have cause to be happy.
The resolutions speak for themselves,
and the delegates spoke for them-and
against them, too. The convention
spent four hours cleaning up its work,
and goes on record as one of the many
remarkable gatherings of the local
Democracy.
The call was for high noon, and about
that hour the advance guard clamOred
for admission to Turner hall. A leu
tonic Cerberus refused admission, and
ignored prayers and tears until his
rent of S25 was paid, when he
opened the doors and the crowd
poured in. For an hour there was gen.
eral confusion Oh the floor as leaders on
either side canvaSsed the situation.
The Ames wing had decided on w. II.
Donahue for chairman, and the Wilson
contingent warmly debated the advisa-
bility of presenting candidate. 1t
finally was decided to make the race,
and Scion Armstrong was selected as
the successful lamb. By the time these
decisions had been reached the conven-
ton was ready for work.

MINNEAPOLIS.
THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

The differences of opinion that agita-
ted the Hennepin Democracy yesterday,
will read and sound worse than they
really are. The resolutions. IL Tue one
Objectionable feature, represent the
wrath, not the judgment nor the belief
OF the faction that dominated the con-
Ventlon and tie feeling which grew out
OF them will be swept away by
the storm of enthusiasm which will
greet the choice Of the united
Democracy at st. Paul tomorrow,
wherever that choice may alight. There
is a life and vigor in Democracy which
must naturally break out into open war
at times, but it only serves to enliven
and inspire the party, and train tin the
warfare which brings ultimate success.
Beneath the expressions of a few hot
headed partiSanS in the convention,
was an undercurrent of party sense and
discretion that will guide the local De-
mocracy into the proper channels when
the campaign opens.
1t was a piece of political misjudg-
ment in the opening hours that brought
out the test vote. The Wilson strength
erred there and spurred the Ames ma
jority to the tactics employed later on.
There was no necessity for the display
of feeling which followed. though it
was pardonable, under the circum-
stances. The Ames followers
feel that their leaders prospects
have been willfully injured by
sending abroad false reports as to his
strength at home, and they decided to
emphatically go upon record in correct
ing them. They were also indignant at
the delay in calling this convention
which will prevent the complete dis
semination of the information; and
while they do not hold the Wilson forces
responsible, yet the latter invoIuntarily
found themselves in position of defend
ants.
AS far us the resolutions are con-
cerned the declaration that "Hennepin
has no second choice" loses its force in
the later expressions of Ames, who will
make his fight and will abide the result
and support the nominee Of the conven-
ton. The delegation will do likewise.
They are not Of the metal that sulks in
its tents when defacted. Time, and
very little time, will right yesterdays
trouble, and the storm will only Gear
the air

MINNEAPOLIS
DRY GOODS co.
SUCCESSORS TO
Barnes, Hengerer, Demond & Co.

Some facts we want you to
remember. Consider them
well. They may save you many
a dollar.
Some years ago a few repre-
sentative dry goods merchants
put their heads together to de-
wise some means for reducing
the expenses Of doing business
to a minimum. The result was
the formation of the Syndicate
Trading Company, now en-
bracing some forty different
houses, including the branch
stores, doing a yearly business
aggregating in the millions.
They at once conceived the
idea that the expense of for
eign and resident buyers, borne
by each house separately, could
be very greatly reduced by en-
ploying the same men--a saw
ing in salaries, travelling and
incidental expenses, and a say
ing in cost, because of the
larger purchases which would
have to be made.
Theplan was at once adopted,
and as may be readily seen, a
saving Of some hundreds of
thousands yearly was one of
the immediate consequences.
You cannOtimagine half the
incidental advantages. Suffice
it to say they are many and
marvellous. A resident buyer
with an able corps of assistants
in each Of the principal mar
kets of the old world, and a
central office in New York city,
give to all the stores connected
with the Syndicate Trading
Company advantages possessed
by no other Dry Goods houses
in the world.
If expenses are reduced, cost is
reduced, and consequently retail
prices are reduced and customers
get more for their money than is
possible elsewhere.
Sees So we said consider these
facts we'll. They are sure to save
you many dollar. We are proud
of our connection with this COM
pany, proud of the city in which we
have located, and if you will give us
generous share of your patronage,
which we solicit. we intend to so
manage our business in the interest
of the public that Minneapolis shall
be proud of the
Minneapolis Dry Goods Co.,
Syndicate Block.

The Delegation Organizes.

The delegatiOn-elect met last night at
the city hall and organized. William
McArdle was chosen chairman and G. E.
Baxter secretary. 1t was decided to 90
to st. Paul this afternoon and open
AmeS headquarters at the Merchants.
1t was difficult matter to ascertain the
sentiment of the delegation beyond its
adherence to DE-. Ames. No plan of ac-
ton has been agreed upon, and when
asked what the delegation will do if
Ames drops out the reply is that no
such contingency is likely to arise.

George H. Cross.

The death of Mr.. George H. Cross in
Chelsea, Wednesday, at the age of 80 years,
will be learned of with deep sadness by his
many friends in this city where he has resided
for many years. Mr.. Cross was born in the
neighboring town of Vassalboro and came
to this city in early youth and has lived here
ever since. He early learned the pipers trade
and followed this business until failing health
made it necessary for him to give up his
work and take a needed rest. Last Decem-
ber he and his wife went to Chelsea to visit
their two daughters who reside in tina, city,
and it was there that Mr.. Cross passed away.
Mr.. Cross was a man of rugged integrity of
character, and strict business habits. good
neighbor and generous friend.
His remains arrived in this city yesterday
afternoon, and the funeral will be held at his
late residence on North street, Sunday at
2 p. NJ. He will probably be buried with
Masonic honors, as he was an old and honored
member of that society.

DIR. g. w. POPE,
Mr. Blaine's Washington Physician Has
Something to Say Regarding his
Health
WAsUtNGroS ADril l

WAsHISGToS. April ~.
DIR. q. w. Pope, Mr.. Blaine's Washington
ply sican said tonight that Mr.. Blaine was a
man of splendid constitution when he left
here, perfectly free from constitutional dis
ease. The only disease that troubled him
was an occasional attack of dyspepsia, and
rheumatic gout. His kidneys, heart, a nd all
his organs were as sound AS boys. Rumors
that Mr.. Blaine had the kidney disease or
diabetes, were unfounded. He was probably
suffering from nervous debility, augmented
perhaps by a slight attack of dyspepsia
caused by overwork and failure to take suf-
ticient exercise. DIR. Pope attended Mr..
Blaine during. the famous sunstroke of 1873.
When he was asked about that attack, he
said. II am very glad of this opportunity
to set that matter to right, as 1t never seems
to have been thoroughly understood, many
people claiming that Mr.. Blaine feigned a
sunstroke to create sympathy i'll his canvass
for the presidential nomination. 1t was not
strictly case of sunstroke but heat stroke,
"a mild form of sunstroke. 1t was caused
by his taking the advice of some foolish
friend and wearing heavy flannel on day
when the Thermometer registered 100. He
fell on the church steps, unconscious. He
remained i'll that condition until
Monday morning He was in
nseusible to pain, aud the pupils of his eyes
were lnsensble to the light. Monday MORN
ing he regaiued Consciousness but WAS una
bic to talk owing to that part of the brain
controlling the organs of speech to act. Tnts
condition is called aphaaia and is unusual.
This wore off during the day, however, and
he was able to articulate by night" So you
see how much Blaine might have attempted
to deceive the public, he couldn't have fooled
his ply ysician.

Marion Harlands Opinion of Baking
Powders.

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists aud
hygienists as to the relative value of the va
rious baking powders. A careful sitting of
the evidence leaves no doubt as to the su
periority of the Royal Baking Powder in
purity, wholesomeness and strength from Il
scientific standpoint. An opinion, however,
that will weigh heavier than any other with
our practical house-keepers, is that given by
Marion llarland, the best known aud most
popular of American writer's upon matters
pertaining TO the science of domestic econo-
my. of housekeeping, and home cooking. In
a recent letter to the Philadelphia Ladies
Home Journal, this writer says
~ regard the Royal Baking Pooler as the
best manufactured and in the market, SO far
as | have any experience in the use of such
compounds. Since the introduction of il
into my kitchen. three years ago, have used
no other in making biscuit, cakes. etc, and
have entirely discarded for such purposes the
home made combination of one-third soda,
thirds cream of tartar.
Every box has been in perfect condition
when it came into my hands, and the con
tents have given complete satisfaction. i
is an act of simple justice, and also "A pleas
ure, to recommend it unqualifedly to Ameri
can housewives. MARION HARLAND.
