THE BALLOT.
A Unanimous Choice in ALI the

A Unanimous Choice in ALI the
Counties.
To put the counties on record and to
pursue good old Democratic custom, the
roll of the counties was called. AS it
was called each chairman rose, and
pledging hearty support and an in
creased vote to Macdonald, gave the
solid vote of the delegation for him.
Said Mr.. Haven:
''Rice county will give Macdonald
$500 votes this year, making majority
of over 200 for him."
Mr.. McHall, of Scott-Ten votes for
Macdonald, and 1900 majority this fall.
[Cheers.]
The nomination was unanimous, and
the delegates just got up and howled
three wild, ringing cheers for the Judge.
And the band played-Stein's band.
They played softly, and then they
played loud. They played that ''RooS-
ter March, How the old bird crowed.
Delegates cheered; visitors roared with
laughter, and one poor, lone Republi-
can sneaked out of the hall and in
speechleSS rage stood in the street and
wriggled his nose and finger at the
happy hosts inside. 1t was harmony all
around, and lots of it. And then they
got up and gave Cleveland, Thurman,
and Macdonald three more whooping
cheers. For few moments it was
this-cheers, band. cheers, band, cheers,
band, yells!
The chairman, when the uproar had
ended, announced that he would ap-
point the congressional committee at
some future date.
FROM HALL.
TheEgave Hon. 0. NJ. Hall an ova-
ton when he rose for GOodhue county
to second the nomination.
"GOOdhue county came here with the
unanimous intention to ask nothing of
the convention, but that it should enjoy
itself. [ rise to second the nomination
of Judge Macdonald.
We must nom nate him, for we go be-
fore the people on platform that ap-
peals to wisdom and Intelligence.
We have nominated for our national
ticket men who are tried and true. We
have not gone to the Old Testament for
a Benjamin and Levi. LCheers.]
We are going to shave this Republi-
can majority in Goodhue county so close
that they will need search warrant to
find if they have any or not.
Unfortunately for them and fCrtu
nately for extraordinarily for them
and unfortunately for us, the Republi-
cans have nominated gentleman who
would not receive cOrporal's guard in

HOSPITALITY
AS Displayed by the Red Wing

democrats.
The St. Paul Democrats who went to
Red Wing were most handsomely re-
ceived and entertained. The Red Wing
Democracy outdid themselves in their
hospitality. The st. Paul delegation,
headed by John W. Willis, G. B. Will
gus, Judge Williams, j. A. Tierney,
II. S. Leomis and other prominent local
lights, were decked out with bandanas,
Cleveland hats and appropriate badges.
They made the Mississippi valley lively
on their downward journey, ably aided
by the First regiment band. At Has
tings they were Joined by other
Democrats, so that when Red
Wing was reached the special
train was we'll filled. The Goodhue
county club, led by Hon. o. NJ. Hall, j.
G. Michaels, Judge Wilder, F. M. King
man, j. G. Pierce, George Ashelman, G.
L. Davis, George Cook, A. P. Pierce
and fifty others, escorted them with the
Red Wing cornet band to the Grand
opera house. The parade through the
streets was an attractive one. Many
stores were decorated. A magnificent

across the main street, and over the

Wilson. and the audience gave him a
bandanna welcome. Among the best
things said by Mr.. Wilson were these:
''The sum and substance of the DEM
ocratic platform is the reduction of the
national taxation.
81 wish we could have nominated a
Mrs. President. But that nomination
has already been made in the hearts Of
the American people. She has COM
manded not alone the respect of Ameri-
cans, but of foreigners-greater than
dignity.
"Gen. Harrison was nominated on the
strength of his ancestry.
"These protected industries: that say
they can't compete with England repre-
sent but one-tenth of all our industries.
'"The Mills bill was "a Democratic
measure of great moderation. 1t but re-
duces the total tariff duties per cent,
and yet the Republicans call for free
trade.
1--WE are not for free trade, but for fair
trade.
''The tariff discussion is enc of figures.
and it must be discussed in every school,
house throughout the state.
"Mr. Cleveland has been an honest
man and has had an honest administra-
ton.
''He has raised the Democratic party,
and aye, the standard Of the Republican
party. too.
The Republican politicians must not
think that the old soldiers are idiots.
1--WE must succeed this year, and be-
lleve we are going to.
ITO carry Minnesota this year we
must have Democratic harmony and
unity"
AS Mr.. Wilson finished, three cheers
were given for Cleveland. And then
they gave Wilson three cheers 'as the
next governor of Minnesota"
Mr.. Wilson replied, II thank you, but
can hardly take it in that senSe.' 4,
Hon. j. n. Castle followed Mr.. WilE
son with brief speech, touching upon
the tariff, as applied to Minnesota. Said
Mr.. Castle: ''lf there is a Republican,
of responsibility in this house who will
rise and say that the Chicago platform
is not an insult to the intelligence and
conscience of the American people, +
will vote his ticket"
And then with stately mien rose a
butcher, and they call him by name
Guptill, and he said:
Il stand up as Republican to say
that"
And Mr.. Castle looked him over, and
with gesture eXclaimed:
You want to drink whisky-you can."
The butcher shrank to period
point, and the audience roared with
laughter.

PLATFORMS:

Pensions to the honorable braves !;

Two Democratic congressional con-
ventions met in Minnesota yesterday
under the most favorable circumstances.
The first, which renominated John j..
Macdonald for congress, met at Red
Wing with an enthusiasm and harmony
so great that it swept everything before
it.
The second, held at Rochester, renom-
mated Judge Thomas Wilson with a
unity of determination to win no less
strong nor enthusiastic than that dis
played at Red Wing.
Both conventions gave.the Democratic
campaign an opening such as throws the
Republican beginnings into the shade of
an everlasting eclipse.

GOOD MUSIC.
The Rival Bands Made the WeIkin
Ring

The musical performances of the day
were something remarkable. The ST..
Paul Democrats had taken with them
Prof. STEMS First Regiment band, and
when they reached Red Wing they were
joined by the Red Wing Cornet band, a
crack organization. The two bands
thus set against each other We'd all day
in their efforts to out-do each other.
The rivalry was good natured. Prof.
Stein in the morning had rendered his
original orchestral composition, "The
Rooster March. For Cleveland and
Thurman"
The composition was rendered in so
spirited manner, and with such cap
ital manifestations of musical humor,
that it brought down the house. Prof.
Stein was highly complimented for his
genius.
The Red Wing musicians were not
backward in their efforts. Their play
ing was fine. The fun grew furious
when they united with the First Regi-
ment and the two performed together.

on the same. He said Gov. McGill and

Week

The Proceedings OF tie Upper House for the
Week.
WASHINGTON, August 27-In the senate
today the sensation was the speech Of Mr.
Wa'thall on the alleged election outrages in
the south.
MIR. Walthau complained of the periodical
arraignment Of the southern people for a.
legged oifenses that are clearly outsdesof the
sphere Of federal legislation. These attacks,
lc said, were unc0mpanied by any plan Of
remedy or redress They had borne no fruit,
but examinations and recrimin atoms and had
had no effect but to delay the era Of good viii
among reunited people which had happily
come in spite of them. Such attacks might
always be expected when there was any i'm
portant political campaign pending or ap-
preaching. Their purpose always was to gain
for the dominant party some political advan-
tage by the dissemination Of partisan reports
and bitter sectional speeches.
This had been the case in the matter Of the
COpiah investigation in 1851 Not one word
word had been spoken in the senate on that
report, and not one move made indicating any
purpose or desire to DO anything more than 10
get il before the country, as was done under
the resolution offered by Mr.. Ioar to print
10000 copies Of il for distribution so that
movement had been merely pretext and
sham.
Reviewing the difficulties Of the task i'm
posed upon people of the south in regard to the
two races living on the same political plane, he
quoted speeches Of Lincoln and republican
senators recognizing those oiucu.tIes, and de-
clared that if one race were 10 rule at the
south it must certainly be the white race.
lie believed that the whites and blacks
might live together, with tho rights Of both
races respected, but subject at intervals, 10
jars, which always arose in such cases. The
scenes Of violence which had taken place in
the Pacific state, and territorie3 IN opposition

the south. The substantial ad yanccmeIt made
by the negroes iu the solth showed how
southern people had met the race issue. As a
