everywhere you place him, and have too
good judgment of the people of this district

to congress-
Judge E. T. Wilder, Of Goodhue
county. in spirited speech denounced
the course OF the present Minnesota
congressional delegation.
Men may say and talk said he, ssthat
these men are working for the interests Of
their constituents as they understand them
deny it. These men are the tools of a pow
er in the far East. We know Mr.. Hall. He
my Office "a as s law st student n know W him gm'ersa as
member of my family. There isn't a fibre in
his nature that isn't alive to honor and hon
esty. He has that quality, so rare in the pub
esty of his convictions. Elect him as your
representative in congress, and 1 will say
that he will be for the interests Of the peo-
pie and not in any sense the tool of corpo-
rate wealth. Elect him. and you will not
have to plush with the consciousness OF its
truth when it is said that your congressman
is nonenity.''
Hon. Sam P. Brown, of Mcleod, paid
a tribute to Mr.. Hall and predicted that
he would not hypothecate the interests
OF his constituents for the purpose of
raising the price of 24O bushels of bar
ley which he had in his granary. Hon.
f. G. Stringer, of Dakota, warmly
seconded the nomination of his friend,
Hall, and declared that there was not
another man in the district who could
eXpOund the doctrine of tariff reform
like Mr.. Hall. "You have not been
represented in congress during the past
two years." he said. "You have been
misrepresented."
By rising vote motion by Hon.
James McHale. of Scott, to make the
nomination of Mr.. ball by acclamation,
was carried, and committee consisting
of j. A. Reamer, of Carver; Senator
Child, of Mcleod, and Judge E. T.
Wilder, of Goodhue. was detailed to
notify Mr.. Hall of his nomination.
During the absence of the committee,
the convention listened to the reading
of a letter from Hon. r. II. McClelland.
who had been elected delegate to
the convention, in which he plainly
told his reasons for deserting
the party Of monopoly and
high taxation. This was warmly ap-
plauded, in the midst of which Mr.. Hall
entered the hall leaning on the arm of
his law preceptor and friend, Judge
Wilder. He was introduced to the con-
vention by Chairman Stringer, and i'll an
eloquent speech outlined the political
issues of the day, which the GLOBE will
yarint full in q o1a
of his address Mr.. Stringer, at the re-
quest of several staunch Shakopee Dem
ocrats, presented the speaker with
piece of old hickory, with the hope that
by its aid he would be able ''to make the
acrimony of the campaign" as pleasant
as possible. This brilliant sally was re-
ceived with tremendous laughter and
applause, and TO which the Red Wing
statesman responded in most humor-
GUS vein. Senator Child moved that the
chair appoint congressional committee
made up of one from each county in the
districf. and the convention adjourned
with three rousing cheers for Mr.. Hall.
