WORDS OF WARMTH.
While the Committee Is Out, Ora
tory Is Heard.


These little episodes being concluded,
the committee on conteSting delegations
reported and the convention got down
to business. I. r. Lawler moved the
appointment of a committee of fifteen,
composed of one at large. one from the
city and one from each ward to select the
deleg alton of thirty-three to represent
Hennepin county at the state conVen-
ton.
E. M. Wilson, presume he means to
select names to be presented to the con-
ventiOn. At any rate, / amend it that
way.
This was accepted. and the chair, while
the convention took recess of half an
hour, appointed the following commit
ond ward, T. e. Salisbury; Third ward,
William McArdle; Fourth ward, F. l..
Morse; Fifth ward, G. NJ. Foote; Sixth
ward, Peter Anderson; Seventh ward,
A. J. Noerenberg, Eighth ward, Orville
Rinehart; Ninth ward, John Kerr;
Tenth ward, John Schulenberg; Elev-
enth ward, Ed Burke; Twelfth ward,
William Blaisdell; Thirteenth ward, G.
J.Helnrich: county, ,E.S. Barnes lat large,
Holbrook. The committee retired and
the convention prepared for further
speech making, j. w. Lawrence was
called out and made a rattling speech.
He said the Democratic party, with the
turn of a paltry thousand and one-half
of votes could have carried Minnesota
last year with everything against it.
This year, with Cleveland for leader,
tariff for an issue and clean, strong
candidate for governor, the Democracy
would sweep the state and forever en-
roll it in the column of Democratic
states. The veteran and venerable
John II. Stevens was then urged to the
platform and made few encouraging
remarks. He said nothing gave him
greater pleasure, since he came here to
live with the Indians and grow up with
great city of 200, 900 inhabitants than to
assemble here and see the elements of
Democracy growing great with their
surroundings. A. d. Smith, as the
comparing Cleveland with jackson and
denOuncing the Republican party for
its local legislation against the people.
Judge Rand next fired the Democratic
heart and urged on to victory. p. B.
Winston declined, with thanks. Capt.
o. c. Merriman and Col. p. B. Walker
each made a rattling speech, and then
Col. NJ. w. Glenn was brought to the
| front, amid considerable applause.
He made a pacific speech, that
was well received. An indirect
reference to Ames was greeted with
applause. He said he was charged with
having been instrumental in the defeat
of the state ticket, but he didn't know;
it was surely, then. only an error of
| Judgment, for he had done his all. This
| pleased A. ID. Smith, and at his suggeS-
| tiOn three cheers for Glenn were given.
E. NJ. Wilson wanted to hear from G. L..
| Locke, and pleasing little speech was
the response. DR.. E. L. Gibson told
several stories as illustrating the two
great parties, and provoked general
laughter and applause. Matt Gallagher
showed the policy of the Republican
party in robbing Minneapolis of the
| right of local self-governmenti in carry
ing to the legislature the matters they
knew would be defeated at home
Judge y. Il. HauSer said he was pleased
at his disappointment at not finding the
expected fun at this convention. But
he was interrupted by the return of the
committee with the names of the dele,
! gates.
