held by the Democracy of that city. 1t
was remarkable. in the first place, be-
cause the offices sought the men in
most instances, and not the men the
offices. 1t was remarkable from the
fact that it was most harmonious con-
vention, probably the most harmonious
gathering of Democrats ever gathered
together in Minneapolis. Its work was
done with rapidity and with entire good
feeling. There was not kick from be-
ginning to end to mar the Quietness of
the conventions deliberations. Good
nominations were made in every ln-
stance. The fight which the Republi
can press had done its best to fOment.
and for which the Republican party at
large was waiting in glee, did not ma
terialize. There was no chance for a
fight. The delegates were Overwhelm-
ingly for one man. Other candidates
had friends OH the floor of the conven-
ton, but those men saw that
their choice. was not the choice
of the convention at large, and
thus effecJually nipped in the bud any
attempt at split. G. NJ. Foote had
many strong supporters, who would

gard for him, honestly thought another

and made hundreds more. The
world loves man who will throw
personal ambition to the winds and act
for the bests interests of the greater
number. c. M. Foote now stands un-
questionably higher in the Democratic
party of Minneapolis than he ever has
before-earnest. enthusiastic, conscien-
tious, hard-working, thoroughly Demo-
cratic Democrat though he has always
been. He prevented any possibility of
a split, and by so doing deserves and
receives the thanks of the party.
Too much credit cannot be given P. b,
Winston for his acceptance of the NOM
nation, since, in so doing, he is making
a great personal sacrifice. AS he de-
clared from the platform, even after he

to the end that Minneapolis may become a
well-built city of homes and industries that
on vacant spaces may be built up.
Realizing that the average productive
power of labor has increased more than four
fold i'll the past quarter of a century. we ex-
press our most earnest sympathy with the
movement for shorter hours of toll We de-
mand such reforms as will remove the un-
just burdens of taxation and monopoly under
which labor is now crushed to the end that a
shorter work day may not only be secured, but
made permanent. Pending the removal of
these burdens we favor the adoption of the
national eight-hour day and its application
to all public work.
The corruption and short comings OF the
present Republican retrenchment and re-
form administration are too fresh in the
minds of the people to need any extensive
restatement here.
The police force, instead of being confined
to the legitimate duty Of protecting the peO-
pie, have been permitted to aouse and tyran-
nize over them until the courts had 10 be
called to stop the outrage Public streets and
alleys OF great value have been vacated in
the interest of private individuals. Fran
chises and privileges to the value of more
than S5,000,000 have been conferred with
out compensation upon the grasping street
railway monopoly and other corporations.
We have seen this same street railway mOnOp-
oly-a public servant exercising public func
tions-suspend all operations, leave their
public duties undOne, while they engaged
in a contest with their laborers to crush them
into the submission of servitude. We have
seen the whole city government, from mayor
to municipal court in close conspiracy wilh
this corporation, aiding 1t at every turn In
its attempt to outrage The public and enslave
its laborers. The attempt succeeded; 21,-
OOD voters protested in vain; within few
short months these same chosen representa-
tive of an outraged people conferred mill
ions of dollars worth of additional privi-
leges upon this same corporation.
We call upon all good citizens to assert
their manhood; to choose for their public
servants men who will respect their oaths of
Office. who will administer the laws in the
interest of all, and who will come back to
the people at the end of their term unspotted
by corruption. We pledge the Democracy of
Minneapolis to do all in their power to es-
tablish these reforms. to reinyest the people
in their natural rights, and to maintain JUS
tice and equality for rich and poor alike.
G. j. Buell'S voice trembled with feel

Turner-landscape flush of pride mount

the reading of the different planks of
the platform, he taking the applause for
himself as chairman of the committee.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
resolutions, ID. B. Johnson inflated his

EVERYTHING AUsPICIoUs.
Republicans Claim Nothing Less
Than the Earth.

There was some delay i'll the Republi-
can convention being called to order
yesterday morning. A large number
of delegates had neglected to make
themselves acquainted with the place
of meeting, and made for the Newman
ket, the usual hall for political conven-
tions. The Newmarket, however, was
otherwise engaged, and the convention
had been called to meet at Turner hall.
But when the delegates arrived there,
owing to some misunderstanding the
hall had not been prepared for the hold
ing of a convention. The care taker
soon made it so, and shortly after 10:3O
O'Clock w. II. r. McMartin opened the
proceedings and Secretary Reese read
the call. c. A. Severance nominated
Fred G. Ingersoll as temporary chair
man, and Henry Johns seconded. Mr..
Ingersoll, he said, was one of the noblest
of the young Republicans. Mr.. Inger-
SOILS nomination was at once ratified,
and he took the chair amid hearty ap-
plause. E. II. OZmun was made tenn
porary secretary, and the chair author
lied to appoint committee on creden-
tials, and this he did as follows:
First Ward-H. Stockenstrom.
Second Ward-W. J.. Ames.
Third Ward-E. p. Wade.
Fourth Ward--C. l.. Horst.
Fifth Ward-H. Mandehr.
sixth Ward-F. E. Chipmari,

mated was one which received their nh
divided support. There was not a can
didate selected who had not previously
received the Endorsement of the kid ele-
ment. The morning Republican organ
labored tearfully yesterday to show that
the nomination of g. E. Keller would
be mistake; that Charles Z. Passavant
was a much stronger man. 1t was
stated that Mr.. Passayant was well
fitted to fill the position, while it was
covertly limited that Mr.. Keller was
not But the kids needed not the warm
ing. Keller is really one of the boys,
and he certainly must not be thrown
overheard. As a consequence the capa-
bic Mr.. Passavant, who is said to have
sorely wanted the nomination, was
quietly shelved, and young stripping,
who is said to have cared little whether
he got the nOmin alton or not, had it
thrust upon him. The kids acted very
wisely yesterday. They are certainly
gaining wisdom. There was less Of

the past, has been their only

to bow down and worship these capital
lists and money aristocrats who run for
public Office. Snider, of course, is seek
ing denomination. and, just to tickle
his fancy, Mr.. Reese gravely Informed
the delegates that the Democrats could
not find man willing to oppose him!
Mr.. Reese may change his tune after the
Democratic convention at Saltwater
Saturday, This was the only break of
Mr.. Reese. He was not alone. His
bosom friend, Henry Johns, later gave
an exhibition of his profound political
sagacity. The country delegates were
protesting against certain NOM
inee for county commissioner when
Mr.. John sgravely remarked that the
man objected to had been proposed by
Col. A. r. Kiefer. The delegates should
therefore really indorse the nominee.
Col. Kiefer was such good Republican.
Heavens! Just think of it. The country
delegates were to support candidate
they did not want because Col. Kiefer
had proposed him! There was very
little life in the convention. Everybody
talked about harmony and all the rest
of it, while 1t was we'll known that
there were two sections-kids and anti
kids ready to fly at each others throats
if the occasion demanded, The kids
kept we'll in the background, because
they we're well aware it paid to do so;
and really, they had no cause to COM
plain when their own men were nomi-
mated with a quickneSs and dispatch
which was simply surprising. 1t was
all the more surprising when Repub-
licans claim that candidates are never
slated by their party for any position.
How the candidates were nominated
and the detaile business transacted by
the convention are given below:

Complimented With Renomina-
ton for their Respective Offices.
Fred Driscoll placed Ed S. Bean in
nomination for sheriff. Cap. Bean. he
said, would add unlimited strength, as
well as acclaim to the Joyous harmony
which prevailed among them. G. V.
Joubert seconded, and the nomination
was made by acclamation. Capt. Bean
replied. He proposed to be elected by
a larger majority than he was two years
ago. He had nothing but kind words
for his opponent. But he had a good
position, and let him keep it.
w. 81. R. McMartin proposed M. j..
Bells nomination for register of deeds,
and that it be done by acclamatlon and
rising vote. The convention respond
ed, and Mr.. Bell was quickly before the
delegates responding. That was the
third time that he had responded for
the nomination of register of deeds, and
it might seem somewhat of chestnut.
He was willing to serve them for two
years. 1t was always the object of the
party to honor those who best served
the people. He did not fear his elec-
ton with the balance of the ticket.

of the committee on permanent organ
lZatlOn the temporary organization was
made permanent. The report of the
committee on resolutions followed.
THE PLATFORM.
The resolutions adopted were the fol-
lowing:
We reassert our loyalty to the Democratic
principle that peace and prosperity spring
from liberty; that the best government is
economically those natural and necessary
duties which must be done by the chosen
servants Of the people, while 1t interferes in
no respect with the private affairs of indi-
vidual citizens; that freedom in spending
the fruit of ones labor is an inalienable
right; that the so-called system OF protection
is an institution of robbery. and especially
the crowning infamy OF protection, the Nc
Kinley bill.
That the Lodge force bill is revolutionary
destructive of our liberties, and but an at
tempt to retain in power party and policy
which the people have set the seal of their
disapprOval upon, and that all laws that seek
to establish surveillance over the homes
and private affairs OF the people are not to
be tolerated.
The public streets are the common prop
erty of all the people. and no special priv
1leges on them should ever be given away.
When the public safety or welfare demands
that pipes or wires or tracks be laid on the
street, such privileges should be granted for
short terms only, and to the highest respon-
sible bidder. And we pledge the Demo-
cratic party to hold to the strictest accounta-
bility all individuals and corporations who
may now possess such franchises and to
forfeit and restore them to the people when
ever their holders refuse or neglect to ad
minister them according to the strict letter
and spirit of their contracts.
Recognizing that the affairs of a munich
pality are in no way connected with state or
national politics, we demand that our city
election be separated from the state and ma
tional elections. to the end that matters Of a
purely local nature may be discussed and
voted upon by the people unbiased by
the influence of partisanship. and we also
demand such legislation as will secure to
this city local self-government.
The chief executive of city should be
held responsible for public peace and order,
We therefore demand the abolition of the
police commission, that the power now eX-
ercised by them be restored to the mayor,
and that no PinkertOns or any others except
regularly appointed officers be permitted to
exercise any police power.
We demand such reforms in our system of
taxation as will tighten the burdens on the
homes and industries of the people, with
corresponding increase on those who hold
valuable land idle for speculative purposes.

A JOB LOT.
Nominations Go Through With a
Mighty Rush.

Mighty RuSh.
Darius Reese had been laying low all
the morning. He, however, came to
the front when the candidate for pro-
bate judge was to be nominated. He,
of course, trotted out Samuel Morrison,
who had filled the Office for two years
and had not been found wanting. He
was an official that the people could i'm
plicitly trust. The citizens of the
county, irrespective of party, would
elect him. No opposition was offered.
The nomination went through with
animity of opinion. Judge Morrison
replied. The very unexpected honor
warmed his heart. He and the rest of
the nominees would see that their op-
ponentS had very cold time in Novem-
ber, and so on.
Dr.. j. A. Quinn, nominated by Henry
Johns for coroner, was also compli-
mented by rising and unanimous vote.
II. E. Clark was nominated for county
surveyor, and I'll. q. Blake for county
superintendent Of sch oolS.

Sam Lowenstein moved that the
chairman be Instructed to appoint a

aeived with murmurs of ''too large"
Mr.. Lowenstein said the larger the
committee the better work it would do
for the party. Henry Johns amended
the motion by moving that only one
man be chosen from each ward. He
argued the smaller the committee the
stronger it was and better the work ae-
complished. The adoption Of Mr.. Low

best interests OF the party. Chairman

The announcement was received with
applause, and the nomination, as the
others, was made unanimous. The
Sixth ward first cast ten votes for Pass
avant, but subsequently changed them
for Keller. Mr.. Keller, though not pre-
pared to make a speech, thanked the
