The Democratic committee of the
Fourth congressional district met yes
terday afternoon at the headquarters of
the state central committee. and it was
probably one of the largest and most
enthusiastic meetings of any congress-
ional committee ever held in the state,
there being nearly seventy-fve men,
bers present. The meeting was called
to order by Chairman Flandrau, who
stated the objects of the call, and then
called for nominations for secretary.
William BanhOlZer nominated Frank
Battley, and he was unanimously
chosen. William Banholzer was elected
treasurer. The selection of committees
to conduct the campaign work was thor
Oughly discussed. and resulted in the
choice of the following members:

j. o'Connor, Pat Conley. George Benz Jr, all
of Ramsey county, ana James T. u Brien. of
Washington county.

Walther. William Platte, Phillip Klein,
Charles Ehrmantraut and j. Lentsch.
The appointment of an executive
committee was left to the chairman,
secretary and the nominee, J. n. Castle.
The appointment of the committee on
consultation with the German clubs was
not exactly understood when the motion
was first put, but William Koch, who
introduced the motion, explained that it
was for the purpose of working with
the German-American clubs only. and
that the matter of calling and holding
meetings for all nationalities, including
any nationality represented in the
district, was left to the general
committee Oh meetings and speak
erS. This proved satisfactory to
the meeting, and when Louis
Stern made a further explanation of the
feeling Of German-Americans in gen.
eral on the Democratic ticket, backed
up by statement from Peter Bott, the
entire committee was taken by sur
prise, and applauded the speaker loudly.
To prove the truth of this assertion it
was only necessary to look about the
room and see the large number of Ger
mans present, nearly every one who
was named Oh the committee having
responded to the call. This is
A Very Significant Fact
and can certainly be taken as sure in
dication of the feeling among that class
of voters. on national as well as local
issues. After all the committees had
been appointed general discussion of
over an hour took place on the outlook
and work of the campaign in the Fourth
district. Every county was represented
and Eugene Biending,of Taylor's Falls,
was the first to speak on the question of
work in Chisago county. He is one of
the oldest Democrats in the county and
has seen many hard and hopeless
campaign in this Republican strong
hold, but his reports yesterday after
noon were very encouraging. though he
advised earnest and hard work as the
only means of securing good results in
that section.
j. D. Markham. from the other end of
the county, gave some of the best adj
vice of the afternoon. He stated that
ChiSago county was one of the largest
and most conscientious farming COM
munlties III the state. and that while
they had been told lies about the Demo-
cratic party for the last ten years, after
Grover Cleveland was elected they
found that he had given them as good
an administration as any Republican
ever had, and many Of them were now
prepared to vote the Democratic ticket.
He stated the nature and kind of men
that were wanted to go to the county TO
statement that he predicted larger
vote for Congressman Castle this year
than two years ago.
Isaac Z. Walker, of Spencerbrook, and
George Kotermann, of Cambridge, gave
their opinions with regard to ISanti
county, and stated that while the ALI
ance was quite strong there this year,
they were certain Of holding even a
larger vote for the Democratic candi-
date than lastyear. Both these gentle
men talked very intelligently on the
situation and seemed to know their own
territory thoroughly. They were con-
stituted committee to specially look
after ISaGti county and let the executive
committee know at any time what was
wanted and who they desired to have
speak.
instructions were given to the various
committees as TO their duties, and the
committee adjourned at the call of the
chair. The executive committee will
be announced today.
