Maj. Lundberg, of Hennepin, were
nominated as temporary secretaries.
Mr.. Lundberg wanted to withdraw, but
j. G. Donnelly deftly suggested that
two secretaries should be appointed--a
proposition quickly adopted.
w. Nj. Campbell, of Ramsey, moved
that the chair appoint committees on
credentials, permanent organization and
platform member from each con-
gressional district and two at large.
The motion went through with rush,
when w. Pitt Murray suggested that
the committees be made up of one dele
gate from each judicial district and one

to this this, and M. S. Wilkinson
hoped that the motion to enlarge the
committees would not prevail. A prop

HARMONY WITH A BIG H.
Patriotic Action on the Part of
DR. AmeS.

Patriotic Action on the Part of
DIR. Ames.
The total of the ballot cast had not
been announced when DR.. Ames was
seen to rise from the ranks of the Hen
nepin delegation. Silence at once
reigned. All eyes turned upon the
doctor. He said:
I rise here at this time for the purpose of
making, on behalf of the Hennepin delega-
ton, the nomination OF Thomas wilson
unanimous in this convention.
The further progress of the doctors
sneech was stopped by the roar of
applause which greeted the announce
ment. The cheering was intense and
Iong-continued. Three hearty cheers
were called for DR.. Ames and were
instily given. DR.. AmeS continued:
The time has arrived i'll the history
of this country, of this state-and l
believe that have been, perhaps. little In
strumental in working to that time-when the
Democracy. and that means the people, shall
rule in this glorious commonwealth. None
are more able to produce this effect than the
people themselves, as represented by the
Democracy, for, as l understand 1t, the voice
Of the people is the voice OF God, SO far as
The people are concerned.
DR.. Ames concluded, amid more eXcit-
ing cheering, by declaring his support
to Thomas Wilson, declaring that there
was no better man in the state, and
predicting that Hennepin would give
him rousing majority.
The nomination of Judge Wilson was
carried unanimously.
w. NJ. Campbell called for the ap-
pointment of committee to inform
Judge Wilson of his appointment, with
DIR. Ames at its head.
Chairman Wells appointed Messrs.
Ames, Wilkinson and Gen. Johnson.

CAN'T SHUT OUT CHINESE.
Canada Is Dumping Ground for
CeIeStials.

OTTAWA, Sept. "a deputation repre- sent
ing the Dominion Trade congress called on
Sir John Macdonald to-day and urged the
government TO place further restrictions
upon the importation of Chinese, even to
the extent of not allowing them to enter
Canada, and asked that it be made illegal to
employ Chinese in the mines. Sir John in
reply, said their was no question but that
European Immigrants were better and more
to be- preferred than Chinese, but he had to
tell the deputaIion frankly that the Canadian
parliament could not pass a Chinese
exclusion act if it so desired, for the imperial
authorities would have their say in the mat
ter. In his opinion the prohibition of Chi
nese immigration would be mistake If
the United States persisted in their present
policy or restriction the Chinese government
might be inclined to retaliate against them,
and that would be to the advantage of the
Dominion. In reference 10 the request of
the deputation that the Chinese should be
prohibited from working in the Mines he
asked on what grounds this could be done.
How, he inquired, could the Chinese be
allowed to work at one description of labor
and excluded from another? He requested
the deputation to prepare general state
ment of the case, and promised to lay the
matter before parliament.

MILITARY LINE oFDUTY.
1t Includes a Trip for Spiritual
SuStenanCe

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Assistant Secretary
Bussey to-day rendered decision in the pen-
sion case of William r. johnson, late cor
poral of Company K, Elghtieth Indiana vol
nnteers, i'll which is given an even moro
liberal construction of the law relating to
Zine of duty'' than heretofore. On April /,
1868, claimant. with the first sergeant of his
company obtained pass to attend church
across the Green river at Mumfordsville, KY,
at which point his command was guarding
a bridge. While crossing the river on log
claimant fell. fraeluring his left knee
The case was originally rejected on
the ground that the soldier at the time
of the accident was not i'll line of duty.
Assistant Secretary Bussey, however, takes
contrary view and allows the pension sought.
He SAYS: "If the claimant had by authority
of his superior officer been crossing the river
for the purpose of obtaining necessary phys
ical sustenance he would certainly have been
in line OF duty, it being necessary incident
to the service. To hold that a similar mis-
sion for spiritual sustenance, which is also
presumed TO have been necessary, placed
him out of line of duty would be depriving
our soldiers of Christian teaching and, there
fore, in conflict with military law, which
recognizes the necessity, or at least the pro-
priety of it." The claim is allowed.

KEPT IN DOORS BY RAIN.
President Harrison Cooped in a
Cottage at Cresson.

CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. 9.-The rain
which began last night has continued almost
continuously throughout the day. There
was slight cessation i'll the storm about
p. m. Not having had an opportunity be-
fore, the president. accompanied by Mrs.
Dimmick at that hour went for walk on the
board walk which makes picturesque turn
around the hotel and through the carefully
kept grove. The president has been busy
most Of the day in his library. He has di-
rected that the bills ready for his approval be
sent here, and it is supposed that they
will reach Cressou by special mes
the measures which will occupy
the attention of the president during the
week will probably be the river and harbor
bill. Some very prominent Republicans
predict that this measure. which appropri-
ates nearly SIS, 900. .000 will not receive the
presidents approval. 1t may be that while
the bill will not be approved, the president
will recommend that adequate provisions
be made for. carrying on, under the direction
of the secretary of war, all work which has
been begun. President Harrison received
call to- day from class of young ladies who
are being educated at the Loretto convent.
The president was glad to see them. and ex-
pressed much interest in their temporary
home and its surroundings. Private Secre-
tary HaIford is getting more work on hand
than he can well handle alone, ard it is
quite likely that he will order assistance
from the White House. Mrs Russell Harri-
son and her daughter left here tonight for

Republicans had put up a banker, and, he
1ns1nuated, it was possible for the Demo-
Gratis to put up a candidate more objection
able than banker. They should place in

man who would weep icicles at the grave of
his grandmother. Dr.. Ames was the man

Dr. Ames' nomination. While he was speak

enlarged upon the street railway strike at
Minneapolis and how Mayor Bebb had bowed

He said amid repeated cheers:
The state of Minnesota is broader and
wider than the city of Minneapolis. The
state ofMinnesota demands a man-and with
no reflection on DR.. Ames-who is broader
and wider than sufficient to govern the city of

coined by all classes of people. With such
candidate to head the ticket. standing upon
platform as enunciated by that convention
they would enter the campaign with clean
hands and an earnest purpose to do battle for
the right. He nominated Judge Wilson.
The nomination of Judge Wilson
evoked the widest enthusiasm.
Judge Flandrau, on behalf of RAM
Sey, seconded the nomination of Judge
Wilson. He said:
1.-The burst of applause that followed that
nomination is tue best second it can have;
want to add the greeting and cordial recog
nltlonao of Ramsey county. l might say as
was once said by very eminent public
speaker that l agree with the gentleman last
up and sit down, but want to say little
more. Although this is nominally state
convention, as has been stated before, the
issue that will be fought before the people
this time extends beyond the state. When
you cannot separate the national issues from
the state questions which will come up. so
far as Mr.. Wilson is concerned. ! say in this
campaign tits not only politics, but it is the
deepest philosophy of politics.
Judge Flandrau touched upon the . role
tlonists, A cyclone was gathering north
wards that would wipe these people out of
existence. Look at Iowa. The Democrats
never dreamt of carrying Iowa, and yet
Democratic governor sat in the executive
chair of the state. The Democrats of Mime
sofa hao been fighting this battle for half
century, and they would yet win It, Judge
Flandrau had known Judge Wilson ever
since he arrived in the state. He was a
fighter for the ground up. from way back
and the ground down. He would make a
fight in this campaign that would embrace
all the beliigerent points OF his nationality.
With the present existing state of things. he
believed that the nomination OF Judge Will
son would lead the party to triumphant
end.
Ii. W. Morgan, of Wabasha, seconded
Judge Wilson's nomination. He did so
as the spokesman of the Democratic
farmers of Wabasha county.
A Sibley county delegate said that delega-
ton was made up of young men. All of
them had been born since Judge Wilson set
tied in this state, and to a man they requested
him to second his nomination. His reference
to Judge Wilson as "a peerless statesman
aroused loud applause.
A Dakota county man wanted to make
the nomination of Judge Wilson by ac-
clamatiOu.
Chairman Wells promptly ruled the
motion out of order.

Preliminary Skirmish.

1ne democratic Hosts Take
Preliminary Skirmish.
The convention was slow in getting
down to business. The call gave II
o'clock as the time for opening, but, ow-
ng TO the delay on the part of delegates
IN making their appearance, 1t was
nearly the noon hour before Chairman
Lawrence called order. He made the
stereotyped remark that the convention
was for the purpose of nominating a
state ticket. Mr.. Lawrence, however.
added: ''To nominate a state ticket
which shall next November make the
state of Minnesota a Democratic state"
The delegates received this with hearty
applause. Chairman Lawrence, on be-
half Of the state Democratic committee.
presented the name of II. r. Wells as
temporary chairman. The proposition
was seconded in several parts of the
hall, and Mr.. Wells was indorsed as
temporary chairman by unanimous
vote.
Mr.. Wells was warmly greeted as he
assembled the platform. He thanked the
delegates for the high honor done him.
That aSsemblage he believed to be
suspicious. 1t demonstrated that there
was an appreciation as we'll as appre-
henSlon OF the eXigence under which
they found themselves as a nation. The
party of Lincoln was party of con-
science and the party of patriotism, but
it died when Lincoln died. In the con-
fusion which resulted, the revolution
lists, as they might say, succeeded to
power. Mr.. Wells showed how the
policy of this party had tended to build
up monOpOlieS and wasted the revenues
Wrung from an impoverished people.
In 1884 people became aroused and over
threw the cabal, placing at the head of
the natiOna man of the people, resOlute,
brave and strong. Grover Cleveland.
lCheers.l Cleveland proclaimed against
the robber tariff that was passed to en-
slave the people, and which was the very
Keystone of the power of the Republican
party. BY secret and corrupt methods
they debauched the people in 1888, and
again seized the powers of govern
ment What had been their course?
Their whole aim and effort had been to
perpetuate themselves in power. and to
reimburse those who furnished the cor
rupting fund in 1883. MIR. Wells in
stanced the Mckinley bill. the force bill
and the uDseating of Democrats who had
been legally elected. The chairman
next referred to this state. The Repub-
licans had been in power here for over
thirty yedLo' AHoy hau grown lnt0
system Of extravaganza, not to say cor
Tuption, which they looked upon as be-
ing legitimate and proper, but which
Democrats and the people said was ex-
travagance, and possibly corruption.
The Republicans of this state had grown
into the multiplication of officers be-
yond all need, as well as the multiply
ing of salaries, and increasing salaries
10 an extent that even such a rich state
as New York would groan under if
called upon to pay. MIR. Wells also had
fling at the congressman, who, he de-
clared, misrepresented the state in con-
gress.
Renewed applause was accorded the
Chairman when ne resumed his seat.

The Democracy of Minnesota yester-
lay went through the crucial test of
state convention and crystallized in a
magnificent ticket. The friends of the
party of the people are singing hosannas
over the peaceful and satisfactory out
come of a gathering from which its
enemies hoped so much. Not even a
ripple mars the placidity of the Demo-
cratic sea, and the breeZeS which blew
SO briskly during the earlier hours but
cleared the air. 1t was confidently
predicted by the anxious Re-
puUllcduS ludI IuG convention
which assembled at Newmarket hall
yesterday morning would develop fac
tional fight that would rend the party in
twain. They pointed to the jealousy in
Hennepin county, the dissatisfaction in
Ramsey and the contest in Dodge.
They were sure the Ames following
would do this, the Wilson strength
would do that and the Buck contingent
the e.0ther thing. But the convention is
over and the united Democracy is all
smiles. There areno factions, no feudS.
HenneplH made a gallant sacrifice and
the convention appreciated it, and not
sore remained when the ticket was COM
pleted. The party. is in better shape
than ever before, and the ticket named
will gain in streng 9Th every day until it
brushes out opposition at the polls IN
November.
The convention was one of the most
intelligent and representative the party
has ever known. A glance over New
market theater at 80 o'clock showed
q remarkablyfine- body of men
IN advance of great crush which en-
tirely filled the galleries and lobby.
The stage was tastefully decorated for
the occasion. Dressed with bunting,
pictures of Cleveland and Thurman oc-
enpied elevated positions at either end
of the stage. On an easel, in the front,
draped NTH mourning combined with
the national colors, was an admirable
likeness, in pastel. of the late Hon.
EugeE8 M. Wilson.
The various delegations occupied the
forward part of the hall, the location of
each designated by card elevated OIL
standard. The ponderous strength of
Hennepin filled. up all of onezside, OH
the left, and was balanced on the right
by the equally bulky proportions of
Ramsey county. With most of the dele
cations it required not the placard to
designate them, as they were made suf-
fciently known by the prominence of
the leaders of each.

DOESN'T CARE FOR FRIENDS.
The Swedish Mission Snubs the
Congregationalist

GALEsBURG, Ill.,, Sept. 9.-The Ma
tional l'Swedish Mission Union closed its
meeting here yesterday, and it was in
some respects the most interesting of
the session, as it brought outthe feeling
of the union toward the CONGREGATIONAL
lists. At the late National Congrega-
tional Triennial council, a greeting was
extended to the union abounding in
kindly sentiments. The question of a
reply to this greeting disclosed strong
opposition on the part of some of the
delegates to closer relations with the
Congregationalists, and resolution
was adopted that reply be drafted. to
be presented to the next triennial coun-
Gil, which amounts to postponement
for two years. The most liberal are
mortified over the result. The union
passed temperance resolution sympa-
thiZing with the Prohibitionists in Ne
bTaska. Carl Wallen and p. Matson
were ordained missionaries to China.
The next annual meeting will be held
at Phelps Center, Neb.

AMES IN THE RING.
Hennepin in Great Want of a
Leader.

David Johnson, of Hennepin, warmly
urged the recognition of his county.
They wanted to act wisely, and perform
such All action that the citizens of the
state would arise in the grandeur of
their dignity and ratify the action. He
pleaded for harmony. Hennepin had
come there year after year seeking rec
oglition. They were there to-day, their
love and faith in Democratic principles
as unalterable, as eternal and un-
changeable as the everlasting hills. If
that convention recognized Hennepin
that county would certainly 60 Demo
cratic, and the state would be made
Democratic forever. 1t was owing to
the refusal of the Democratic state con-
vention two years ago that resulted in
handing Minneapolis over to the most
damnably outrageous government that
Almighty Gods ever ashone on. Mr..
Johnson continued:
Give us the proper man at the head of
the Democratic. and we will elect Winston
for mayor of Minnesota, and j. n. Castle for
congress-"
Thirty thousand soldiers demanded with
Hennepin county, that the name of DR.. A.
A AIhes be placed at the mead of the Dem
