Inc goyernorship is not the most im-
portant matter it seems to me to come
before this convention.
II is tne question as to whether or no
thls is Republican convention. and if
the delegates seated here were elected
we nave a newspaper in this city.
Mhlcn W. 5ne morning after a caucus when
lts candidate has been defeated. has the
practice of charging that the caucuses
were carried by Democrats.
10 show the consistency of this paner
the st. Paul Pioneer Press-I will
Ieaa a few editorial paragraphs from
tnas aI paper written some years ago:
Inc hrst is from the st. Paul Press of
July 13, 1878, and reads: W. %
lhe following is the result of the
democratic primaries held i'm this citv
last evening to elect delegates to Re-
pupIIcan county convention. We can
nardly be expected to accept the dicta-
tlon OF crowd of Democratic roughs
and gamblers, and blowers and strikers.
gathered from every Democratic kennel.
as an expression of the Republican SEN
tlment OF st. Paul in favor of G. K.
paws Tor governor. We protest against
voters of this city,"
On May 16, 1880, the st. Paul Pioneer
Press again said:
The facts indicate that Davis owes
his majority wholly to the large num-
per OF Democratic votes which were
poiled for him. The Democrats, it is
evident, were unanimous for Cush. and
the Democrats triumphed. 1t was not
only a victory for Cush, but it was
Democratic victory over the Republi-
cans OF Ramsey county,"
Now compare these two previous ut
teranceS with this last from the Pioneer
Press of Aug. 81, 1888:
"Ihe methods and agencies EMPLOYED
to secure the sweeping triumph of
Albert Scheffer at the sO-called Kepub-
hcan primaries in st. Paul are not
such as will commend his candidacy to
the Republicans of the state at large.
For everybody understands that it was
purely Democratic triumph over the
Republican voters of st. Paul"
There are those outside of Ramsey
county who do not know of this amiable
weakness of the Pioneer Press, and who
90 not know that when its own candi-
date is defeated it charges the success
OF the victor upon the Democrats.
we nave no paper here to deny these
charges for us, and it seems to me the
duty OF this convention to demonstrate
to the Republicans of the state that
these charges are false.
The Republicans of Ramsey can carry
their own caucuses, and the credentials
to be redeemed here to-day bear the sig
natures of judges appointed by the
three candidates for governor.
Otto Kueffner was named for tempo
rary secretary.

proud to accept this office at the hands

cans.
