ago to nominate one who for two
years has represented you in congress.
His record you know. A formal nomi-
nation is hardly necessary. The people
of this district have long since made
that practically unnecessary.
While this district was carved out by
a Republican legislature to suit Repub-
lican purposes, it was not until John L.
Macdonald was nominated that it was
carried overwhelmingly by the De-
mOcracy.
Any one who has read the speech of
Judge Macdonald on the tariff can have
no doubt as to where he stands. There
is no uncertain sound to it. In every
public utterance of our congressman he
has been for reduction of the tariff to
the basis of the platform adopted to-day.
No man need blush to support him.
His public and private life has been
pure. We never have had need to be
ashamed of the echo of his voice.
There is but one name before this
convention. We owe it to our nominee
for president to give him man from
this district who will uphold his hand.
l therefore place in nomination that
plucky, persistent enemy of monopoly
and high tariff, Judge John L. Mac
Donald. [Cheers.]
A. Haven, of the Faribault Democrat,
seconded the nomination of Judge Mac
Donald in stinging, caustic attack on
the high tariff.
I'VE know that Macdonald is right,
and Rice county most emphatically sec
onds his nomination." said Mr.. Haven.
Scott county seconded the nomina-
ton. Capt. Stearns, i'll speaking for
Scott county, said:
81 want it understood that there are
soldiers in the Third congressional dis
trict who will vote for the Democratic
ticket this fall"
A. Haven-Six of the eleven Rice
county delegates sitting here to-day are
eX-Soldiers.

Child, of Mcleod county, was made
temporary chairman, and Hon. G. F.
Hardy, of Kandiyohi county, secretary.
Chairman Child said:
"The honor comes unexpectedly. Ger
tainly we come here under very encour-
aging circumstances. We come here to
realize victory again. Go where YOU
will to any Democratic gathering, YOU
will find manifested thele the utmost
enthusiasm. The great encouragement
for US in this campaign is that the young
men are with u.s." [Cheers.1
Hon. w. c. Williston on behalf of
Red Wing welcomed the convention:
"Gentlemen, as representative of
the Oldest and best party in this coun-
try, and of the party which represents
the wisdom OF this country, I welcome
you. | am here on the part of Red
Wings Democracy to expect from you
an honest and clean nomina-
ton. A nominee who not alone
represents the Third district but to peo-
pie of this county. Gentlemen, in be-
half of the Democracy and the better
portion of our citizens, l welcome YOU
to the garden spot of Goodhue county.
The Democracy has entered the
promised land and is to stay there. We
welcome you with our hands open and

A CONTRAST,
Gloom and Despair for One, Sun
shine for the Other.

Gloom and Despair for One, Sun
shine for the Other.
On the 2Sth of June, 1888, the Repub-
lican congressional convention for the
Third district was held at Red Wing.
With the exception of the convention
which nominated Dunnell, it was the
most bitter and disconnected Republi-
can meeting which has been held in the
state.
The attendance was small. A major
lty of the delegates were eX-officeholders.
They come together without enthusi-
aSm or unity.
They were more than dyspeptic-
with the paralysis of jealousy, suspi-
ciOn, envy.
They regarded each other with eyes
askance. They muttered accusations
under their breath at one another.
They nominated candidate for con-
gress by trick-nothing more nor
less.
The nomination was dictated by one
man, of whom the delegates SAID, as
they left the hall: He has sold his
party"
They passed platform-a document
that declared for the Chicago platform
in the first plank and for the St. Louis
Democratic platform in the second.
They went home with curses at one
another on their lips.
Il would not put the collar of Re
publican. boss on my neck" shouted
Capt. Reed, shaking his finger at Mai.
Strait.
II will wager $685." yelled Dakota
county Republican delegate, "that Mac
Donald is elected"
Thus this happy family parted. They
came in silence and left under the cover
of night.
There we're no cheers. No marching
of enthusiastic hosts under flying ban
ners. No inspiring music-nothing but
laments for the past, accusations for
the present, doubt as to the future.
More significant than any one thing
else, was their Silence-ominOuS sill ence
on the question of the reduction of
taxation.
Now for the other side.
Judge John L. Macdonald was made
the nominee for congress of the Third
district, at Red Wing, yesterday.
Five hundred Democrats sent him
royal greeting at Washington.
He was nominated by acclamation,
without jealousy or fear, and amidst
the greatest enthusiasm.
His platform, in few terSe words,
calls for the reduction of high high tax
to low taX-tO the basis of an economical
administration of the government.
The one tenor of the speeches of this
convention was the plea, strongly, firmly
put-''Give us low taxes.'
The contrast between June % and
Aug. is significant.

SPEECHES.

Ocratic Doctrine,

Macdonald having been nominated.
speeches were made by Judge Williams,
John W.Willis andC Tyson Butcher, of
st. Paul.
Among the many happy remarks
made by Mr.. Willis were these:
''When Judge Macdonald was nomi-
mated two years ago there were some
doubts as.to his success. The district had
lndulged in so much Strait whisky
that there was question if it had not

Third district congressional convention
opened. 1t was in striking contrast
with the opening of the late Republi-
can congressional convention which
nominated d. S. Hall. That began
with accusations, charges of treachery,

dissension and discord, charges of fraud

a county that has given in the past
1900 Republican majority, was the
most enthusiastic. harmonious and
united convention that has been held in
the state this year. 1t was chock full of
enthusiasm. 1t began with cheers, and
ended with cheers. 1t was united
party that sent to Congressman Mac
Donald the best of wishes and prom
iSeS for success.
