St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-11-25

In the party who would be all right any way
| am strongly in favor of making every effort
to secure our convention in st. Paul. The
feeling has been very prevalent i'll The North
west that The Eastern wing OF the party re-
gs rded US as irreHievably swamped, and that
it was useless to waste any effort on us. We
were a sort of forlorn hope, ana the neglect
has been dispiriting. Sending the conVen
ton here will inspirit our people and convert
lisilessness into enthusiastic activity. 1t will
be recognition of the good work done aud
a strong announcement to work harder.
Ron. o. o. Cullen, President Of the Board
of Aldermen-I should most heartily support
a plan TO secure the convention for st. Paul,
for it would be Of great benefit to us, and do
more 10 place us before the whole country
than anything which has ever occurred i'll the
history OF The CITY.
Corporation Attorney Lawler-It would be
n splendid thing for St Paul to secure the
convention. and We ought TO get il, If Mime
apols would help us as we helped Lhem.
w. j. Freaney-St. Paul ought to have the
Democratic national convention next year,
and believe Minneapolis will gladly help
her all she can. If the Democratic cOnven-
ton can ever be brought TO the Northwest
both ST. Paul and Minneapolis would reap
great benefits. We need permanent hail,
large enough to accommodate any conven-
ton.
T. j. Foley-Of course we want the Demo
cratic convention, and believe we can get it
il ii is pushed right.
Col. i. r. Welz-The Democratic conven-
means. l hope the scheme will be taken up
and pushed for all there is in il.
M. W. Fitzgerald am heartily in favor OF
the move to bring the Democratic conven-
ton To St Paul. We can take care of all the
people who attend. and give them the best
time tbey ever had.
Ex-Mayor Ludwig. of Winona-Of course
think st. Paul ought to have the Democratic
convention. and | want to be counted as
ready to do all l can to help her secure it.
Col. John Dodge-Can st Paul take care
of the people who will come to the next
national Democratic convention: OF course
she can: only see to ii that she is given a
chance.
Gen. Becker Chairman of the Railroad
and Warehouse Commssion-I heartily in
OorSe the movement | should Ike to see an
effort made to secure the convention TO this
CITY. 1t is the duty Of every citizen to lend
his influence for it must nure TO the benefit
or the city and 10 the state, ev en- il not
successful in the endeavor. And it occurs
TO me that with earnest work the convention
can be secured. | had some doubt about the
success of the Republican emissaries, but
now that see the arguments they presented
were 80 influential, | believe the same argu-
ments would be dOubly effective upon the
Democratic committee. If Minneapolis joins
81. Paul i'll this movement with as much zeal
as St Paul Joined Minneapolis in ner mission
to Washington, something might be ac-
com plished, but as to probabilities, the
GLoGE is in a better condition to Judge than l.
/ should like very much to see the cOnven-
ton come to st. Paul. 1t would attract at
tention to the Northwest and would be OF
great general benefit TO have the national
nominating conventions of the two great
parties choose presidential candidates in the
Twin Cities If the Democrats make the eff
fort. there is some show of success. An au-
ditorium will have to be provided, and that
is the very thing St. Paul greatly needs.
Col. Edward G. Becker-The Northwest is
large enough and has hospitality enough to
give both conceptions royal welcome.
There is nothing Small about us. Yes. hope
the next president may be nominated in st.
Paul.
C. A. Clausen, Chief Grain Inspector-Any
ST. Paul man no would not he glad TO see
any ard all conventions come here Wouldn {
be very loyal to st. Paul, would he? If the
Democratic convention is secured to St. Paul
both cities would pull together TO entertain
their common guests. There is work to be
done. ana tile second convention would nat
urally be an aid TO the first.
ID. Z. Reese-It wOIid be m ign;fcont
strike, and am willing to do everything in
my power to further the movement 1t
would be a recognition or the Northwest,
and think getting tine Republican conven-
ton is the greatest thing that has happened
in the history of the state The Twin Cities
will be in the mouths of the nation until
after the next election.
Adjt. Gen. Mullen-Yes, ] indorse the
movement and it would only be natural that
st. Paul would win after Minneapolis victory
in Washington.
ATTORNEY General Clapp-It would be the
proper move for st: Paul to make. As mat
Ter of loca! pride, if nothing more, d strenu-
Gus effort should be made.
Col Joseph Bobleter, State Treasurer
hope the Democrats of both cities Will unite
in the effort 1t will be great thing for the
Northwest.
Hon. A. Herman, State Auditor-I favor
the plan with al my heart 1t will be a
grand thing for the party, and will help the
state immeaSurabiy. 1t would be a complete
offset to the enthusiasm the Republicans an
ticipate in their coup.
Tams BiXby-I hope they will get it. II
Will advertise the Northwest.
General Passenger Agent Gilillan, ST. Paul
& Duluth Road-That is the greatest scheme
yet; the Northwest will surely be in it then.
]. &. Mccullough. Omaha Road think it
will be the biggest thing that ever struck the
Northwest, and a good thing for both cities.
General Freight Agent Clark OF the Omaha,
said that the idea of securing the convention
was capital, and if accomplished would be q
magnificent gain for both cities
+. j. Whitney, of the Great Northern. said
he favored anything that would benefit this
city and the Northwest. He thought the
Democratic convention could be secured
nicely if the Twin Cities would combine
again. Il am in favor of erecting a suitable
hall for our semi-centennial celebration and
for the Democratic convention"
w. II. Dixon, Milwaukee Line-I am in IA
vor of all and any conventions. The Twin
Cities can accommodate any convention i'll
thu country.
W. n. Bull. of the Duluth road-A splen-
did move; am in favor of it."
City Comptroller Pontnan-I am strongly
in favor of an effort being made TO secure
the Democratic convention for St Paul We
ought to erect ali auditorium building. which
would be monument Of the event and also
of the prosperity of the CITY.
City Treasurer Reis-It would be grand
thing for ST. Paul to secure the Democratic
convention. and we can get 1t if the right
kind of work is carried out to secure it,
Judge Twohy-I strongly favor the plan.
and if we work in the right manner ST. Paul
will WIN easily.
convention being held in st. Paul, and we
can provide a building large enough for the
requirements, would support the plan most
heartily.
Clerk of Courts R. T. O'Connor-Of course
we ought to have It. and an auditorium
should be erected specially for the purp lss.
TO show we mean business. We can get it if
we work for 1t.
j. II. Mahler-Everybody. regardless of his
politics, must admit that the Democratic con-
ventiOn would be good thing for the town.
and If Minneapolis Will be as generous i'll
helDing us as we have been i'll helping her, L
don't see why we shouldn't have it A con-
vention is always good advertisement for a
new city ike ours.
T. L. Bixby-There is no place in the world
better for holding the Democratic convention
than st Paul, if we only had a suitable build
ing. The city is badly in need of some large
permanent hall for public meetings and If
we go to work and build one there can be no
better place for the convention. We will
have to contend against the fact that Mime
apOlis has the Republican convention but
that makes no real difference. As to hotel
accommodations. we can unqnestionaby
take care of the convention easily and have
room TO give away. The thing is worth fight
ing for, anyhow.
Henry a. Castle-The location of the Re-
publican convention at Minneapolis would
seem to make practicable a united and very
promising effort TO secure the Democratic
convention at st. Paul. OF course, we Re
publicans expect considerable party advan-
tage from the holding of our national con-
vention in this state. and are not at all anx-
ious TO see this advantage neutralized to any
extent by a coun.er-movemeut by the
Democrats in the same direction But,
were l Democrat 1 should con-
slider the time quite propitious for making
the effort, and the chances to saw the least
