Resolutions were adopted highly COM
menaatory of Judge Wilson; expressing
great regret that he had declined to be
candidate for congress, and affirming
confidence that he could easily have
been elected. He was indorSed for
governor, and it was pledged that, if
nominated, he will carry Freeborn
county and the First district. For con-
gress Adolph Bierman was unanimously
indorsed. The fact that he had carried
the district when a candidate for gov
ernor was recalled. His high character
and ability. his earnest advocacy of
tariff reduction, and sympathy with the
masses were recited, and he was named
as the next member of congress from
the First district. Dunnell was de-
nounced for supporting the Mckinley
and force bills; for his failure to ap-
point soldiers to the postofficeS in the
district and the departments at Wash
ington. Speeches we're made by Judge
Stacey, FL. A. Paine and others, and the
event was altogether an old fashioned
Democratic love feast.
