presidential candidates.
l appeal to your reason. Is it not de-
sirable that we should have a man of

desire to offer to this convention the
man who has never been reproached and
against whom the finger of contumely
and scorn was never pointed.
have great pleasure i'll presenting
the name OF Eugene NJ. Wilson. of Hen
nepin county. [Cheers.
ID. b. Johnson, of Hennepin. said for
DR.. Ames:
''Hennepin county comes here. thirty
three votes strong, pledged to support
the man they love and honor above any
other citizen.
There is not truer man in the city
of Minneapolis. Hennepin decided ia
to 80 in his favor. Are the issues any
more important to-day than four years
ago?
Two years ago the Plumed Knights
majority of $4,000 in Minnesota was re-
duced to 1900 by DR.. Ames. A man
who did that is entitled to the respect
of the Democracy.
A man who would utter otherwise in
Minneapolis would be almost mobbed
[Hisses.] [ have heard Ignatius DON
nelly say that the only two animals that
ever Missed could take their shirts
off over their heads without unbutto on
ing the collar button. [Laughter.l
1t is the united wish of Hennepin
county that you nominate DR.. Ames.
''Despise Hennepin county not. AS
she goes, so goes the state of Mime
sota."
NJ. ii. Kelly, of Mortified, spoke for
Wilson:
1.-The question before us, shall our
nomination to-day be ratified at the
polls in November. That should be our
Inspiration. We have not met simply
to name a candidate to succeed Gov.
McGill. but for the success, as well. of
the national ticket.
9TH voice of God was heard speaking
in the nomination of Grover Cleveland
and Allan G. Thurman.
Our duty then is to name standard
bearer who shall not only succeed him
self. but send to Washington five Demo-
cratic congressman.
''There is one man pre-eminently
qualified to fill this position. A man
who stands close to the best Democratic
thought of the day. A man who can
place Minnesota in the Democratic
household for all time"
MIR. Kelley then seconded the nomina-
ton of Eugene Wilson. He was fol-
lowed by Senator Henry Kellar in a
rigamarole speech that set everybody
laughing. At the best he said some
thing like this:
"Gentlemen, make it very short and
sweet. / come from the rosebud county
of the state. land on which God has
smiled and the angels of heaven have
shed blessings upon. We have 5000
votes there, and the county is ours. We
must carry the county by the grace of
Mohammed. just as put On my fine
black hat to come down here Joe COpSer
said to me, That is the Eugene Wilson
man whom every one will support. l
haven't found man in the Fifth dis
trict who wanted DR.. Ames. DIR. Ames
has heart as big as an OK. But that
isn't the thing. DR.. AmeS is too good
for himself. He wants to put on more
dignity"
A. d. Smith, of Hennepin, cham
pioned DR.. Ames:
''He says DR.. Ames is too good for his
own good. Does the gentleman from
st. Cloud remember when that terrible
cyclone came how that great physician
filled that town with the record of his
good name. DR.. Ames needs no
apology. You have determined to
faSten upon us man whom we do not
choose. Shall fat gone forth from an
organization in st. Paul, backed by
ring, override the voice of the people?
Il admire and love Eugene Wilson.
But he is not the choice of Hennepin.
But if nominated we will support him.
solve us the man OF our choice. l
