SHAKoPEE, Minn., Sept. 11.--Shakopee
the beautiful capital of ''old Scott" the
banner Democratic county of the state
presented gala day appearance to-day.
The public buildings, stores, hotels and
even private residences were profusely
decorated with flags and bnnting. In
deed, no efforts was spared by the loyal
Democrats of Shakopee to give the
representatives of the Democracy
of the third district a royal re-
ceptiOn when they met this morn
ing in this city to nominate the man
who will represent them in the fifty
second congress of the United States.
Weiland'S opera house, the meeting
place of the convention, was hand
somely decorated. and the walls were
hung with such notices as ga Public
Office is Public Trust" GA Tariff for
Revenue Only" down with the Force
Bill" I" "NO Doodle in ours, no Rings to
Dictate, no Bosses to Rule" and For
Congress hon. 0. M. Hail."
The Shakopee cornet band met the
delegates at the depots as they arrived,
and escorted them to the convention
hall, where at frequent intervals choice
selections were rendered. At noon the
ladies of the Episcopal church of the
city served dinner at the Center house,
and did everything in their power to
give the visiting Democracy reception
that they Will long remember. With
such a reception to encourage them, it
was little wonder that the convention
was enthusiastic from start to finish,
and, in addition. was not marred by a
single word of disagreement at any
stage of the proceedings. Many of
the most distinguished men in
the district were among the dele
gates. From Red Wing came
a delegation headed by such giants as
the venerable Judge E. T. Wilder, S. B.
Foote, Senator Peter Nelson and Charles
Betcher. Scott county was represented
by Hon. III. j. Peck, Julius A. Collier.
Hon. James McHale, L. j. Kelly and
many other equally well known gentle
men. Senator Child, Hon. S. P. Brown.
Albert Meyer and Judge Lewis worthily
held up Mcleod cOtnty's end of the
beam, while Hon. e. e. Stringer and
p. ii. Hagney made Dakota county felt
at every stage of the proceedings.
John d. Lawson and John r. Parshall
showed up in the Rice county delega-
ton. KandiyOhi, from out of whose
depths few Democrats ever before came,
was worthily represented by T. F.
Hardy. j. c. Forsberg and L. c. Larson,
young and enthusiastic workers in the
cause of the Democracy. ]. M. Spicer,
of Willmar, called the convention to or
der and assisted by advice and counsel.
Taken all in all, the convention was the
most representative one held in Mime
sofa this year, and thoroughly demon
strated that. the people of the Third
are in earnest in their efforts for tariff
reform.
The platform is one of those straig ht-
forward declarations of principles
which cannot fail to impress the think
ing citizen favorably. There is no at
tempt to dodge or shirk the issues
of the day, and, complemented
as it was by the magnificent address OF
the nominee, Hon. o. M. Hall. cannot
fail to arouse the voters of the district
to sense of their duties as citizens OF
the repnblic. Harmony was present
| throughout, and it is safe to say thai
there is not to be found to-day a Demo
crat in the district who is not only fol
o. M. Hall, but olso for him heart and
soul,
