Bions and of a vast amount of painstak-
ing labor on the part of nearly all the
members of the two parties. From the
commencement the most harmonious
relations have existed between the
farmers and the Democrats, all of them
realizing to the fullest extent the, effect
any other result than the organization
Of the house by the loW-tariff and anti
force bill members would have, not only
upon their own futures, but also upon
their respective parties.
Hon. ii. C. Stiyers, the Democratic
caucus nominee, to whom his party asso-
ciates clung so Loyalty during the past
few days, deserves the thanks not only
of the Democrats of the state, but also
of all other good citizens. True to his
record, he refused to allow any private
ambition to interfere with the success
and the welfare Of his party, and conse-
guently he will retire from this very
interesting contest with large circle
of friends and the good will of every
body.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the splendid work performed by the
conference committees of the two par
ties. Messrs. Furlong, Doyle, Curryer,
BjOrge and Koehnen, of the Alliance,
and Messrs. Walsh, Bull, Battley,
Coates and Penny, of the Democrats,
stuck 10 their work with degree of pa
thence and earnestness that was bound
to be rewarded with success in the
end. But the members of the confer
ence committees are not the only ones
who took part in the good work; the
members Of both parties who counseled
and advised these committees must also
be reckOned in. Among those on the
Democratic side who did a great deal of
good work and helped along with good
advice were: Representative Hagney,
Of Dakota; Lynn, of Hennepin; Cam
pion, of Scott; Roach, OF Rice; Barrett,
of Mcleod; Dearing, Nilsson and Walsh,
of st. Paul; Tripp, McAllister, Reeve,
Christlieb and others, of Hennepin
Wacek, Of LIE Sueur; Helms, of Waseca
Sheets, of Todd, and indeed every mem
Der OH that side of the house.
And the Alliance members came out
OF the contest, too, with flying colorS.
The splendid work of Doyle, Furlong,
Koehnen. BjOrge and Curryer, of the
conference committee. was ably backed
up in the caucus by able, learned and
sincere men, who came to st. Paul de-
termined to show to the people who
elected them that they made no mis-
take. The bulunt and sturdy integrity
of such men as AhInesS, Cole, Engel-
bert, Wright, French and Mcclure ac-
cOmpliShed wonders, but was aided and
helped along in wonderful degree by
the counsel of men like Cantleberry,
Knudson, Larson, Wells, Cole and
Thompson.

meetings. In all probability every thing

the conferences of the two parties time
in which to agree upon the remaining
officers Of the house.
When the fact that compromise had
been reached was noised around the
Merchants last evening, every Demo-
crat and Alliance man breathed a sigh
of relief. Hon. John f. Meagher looked
as happy as he he did when President
Cleveland downed Secretary Blaine.
Durant ana Charley Foote wore as
beaming cODtenances as they would if
the latter had been elected state treas
urer at the late election. Alliance men
like Senators Hixson, Darlington

hands in glee, and demonstrated their
satisfaction in most emphatic manDer.

"Good." and then returned to their
hotels and homes feeling better than
they have for several days past.
