81 look around me in this meeting and
see all the active. working Republicans of
ST. Paul, the meW who are always on hand

| mental Republicans gre not here. They are
never present except when there's some
thing to be had. Now Mr.. Chairman

represent us who will work Do not allow

the papers. Appoint Republicans who are
true and tried. and no others
Thus spoke ex-Chairman Samuel
LOwenStein at the meeting OF the Ram
sey county Republicans, called by
County Chairman NJ. W Fitzgerald and
City Chairman T. c. Stevens, to meet at
the EndicOtt last evening to devise
means and lay out plans to aid the Re-
publicans of Heanepin county to secure
the National Republican convention for
Minneapolis next year. A committee
had first been named whose duty it was
| made to appoint all other committees
needed, and especially a general COM
mlttee to cooperate with the Mime
apoliS body and chairman. Lowen-
stems tried and true Republcanism
asserted itself. He wanted only the
workers appointed, the ornamental fell
lows, formerly the silk stockings. were
moi present and he thought they ought
to have none of the honers.
Kids Ont in Force.
The meeting was well attended The
boys were all on hand. looking little
hungry. but feeling as clipper as only a
''kid'' can feel with city, county, state,
congressional and national campaign in
sight. Darius Reese was there with his
deep-toned voice proclaiming that dys-
pepsia and bad crops defeated the Re-
publlcanS year ago, but that they
would elect every Northwestern con-
gresham next year with or without the
national convention. George W. Lamb
was not at all prominent, but lie. was
present. His safe was left across the
street, however, strong and sound.
''Shell' Blakely hobnobbed with Mai.
Espy, and E. j. Hodgson looked almost
as lonely as A. G.. Wedge, both feeling
decidedly out of place. Editor George
Thompson, or the Dispatch. occupied a
prominent seat, and took leading part
in the meeting. He was happy and
couldn't help smiling whenever one of
the boys would remark that there was
only one Republican paper in Ramsey
county, and the Dispatch was its name.
There were plenty OF remarks of this
kind, and the morning Republican or
gan didn't seem to have one friend or
defender present. NJ. d. Mum, w. ii.
III. Johnston, s. 4. Day, Count Herman
StOckenStrom, Z. A. Johnson, Sam

The only faces needed to make the
crowd a complete, harmonious. we'll
rounded out meeting of the celebrated
Ramsey county .kidS." were the well
known ones of Sam and Willie Nichols
and Squire W. II. r. McAIartin. Henry
Johns was missed, but the "boys''
knew he was near at hand, and so he
was not missed as were the three dis
tlnguiShed eXileS named above. W%o are
now domlciled in far-off Washington
state.
The Proceedings
The meeting was called to order promptly
at o'clock by Chairman +. C.. Stevens, of
the city committee. who took advantage of
the opportunity and made neat little speech
stating the objects of the meeting. The Re-
publieans, of Minneapolis, he said, were max
ing great efforts to secure the next Repub-
lcan national convention for that city They
were going 10 work with their usual energy
and their chances were good Neither Chi
cago nor Omaha were in the race; Cincinnati
was the only rival Minneapolis had to fear
The Republicans of st. Paul ought 10 help
those of Minneapolis. The Republican party
y
states solid, and if the convention is held in
this section it will distribute enthusiasm and
educated. and thus be beneficial TO the party
where ii is most needed.
F. g. Ingersoll was elected chairman aud
+. Z. stevens secretary and the active work
OF the meeting began by George Thompson
moving the appointment of committee of
five to name all needed committees, and par
ticularly an executive committee to COOP
crate with similar body in Minneapolis.
After some talk by all the boys the motion
was adopted, with an amendment making
the number seven instead of five. Chairna an
IngerSOll named the following as members
of the committee:
George Thompson. chairman. ohm Copeland
M. w. Fitzgerald, ID. T. Reese. +. Z. Stevens
and +. g. Ingersoll.
A letter from the citizens executive com
mlttee OF Minneapolis, cOuched in William
McCrory's most winning way, was produced
and read by Secretary Stevens. This letter
thanked st. Paul Republicans in advance for
their Kindness, and at length detailed the
reasons why the convention should be held
i'll Minneapolis The following paragraph
probably gives the strongest reasons:
There are fourteen Republican states west
and twelve east of Minnesota but of these
eight states TO the west ana three to the east
were Republican by less than 10. 900 majority
i'll 1855. A national convention in the North
west would have an educational and stimu-
lating effect very beneficial to the party

The reading of this letter made the ap
pointment of committee on resolutions alb
solutely necessary. and SO the chairman
named one. with NJ. D. Mum as chairman.
and Maj. John Espy. c. L. Lumbardo. s
Low enstenl and K. J. Hodgson as assistants

not been known or identified with The party

citizen fully impressed with the importance
OF securing the convention for Minneapolis

for few minutes. When thev returned Mr.

Lambs Buncombe.
This was promptly adopted and a COW
ordered sent to the Minnea polls committed
The chairman thought Mr.. Lamb crayed
recognition at this time but George said il
was all mistake, and d F. Reese took The
floor armed with what he termed COW of n
letter sent by the congressional committee
(Which swamDed poor Capt. Snider TO
Chairman GARRISON. His letter is as uniaue
as 1t is useless and follows:
