The Democrats of Ramsey county
| met in convention yesterday morning
shortly after 10 o'clock and elected for
ty-fve delegates TO represent them in
the coming state convention. Owing to
the fact that the newspapers fixed the
hour of meeting at 11o'clock, While the
call placed it an hour earlier, great
many of the ninety-twO delegates were
absent when Chairman Il. Il. Fuller
mounted the platform, but the proceed
ings were not very far along before the
hall filled up with the men elected
! Wednesday evening. 1t was all orderly,
harmonious and representative body of
believers In Democratic principles, and
every alIusion to the true faith was re-
warded by cheers and applause.
Chairman Fuller called the body to
| order shortly after 10 O'Clock, and j. &.
| Donnelly, of the Fourth ward, nomi
mated Hon. Dan w. Lawier for tempo
rary chairman. No other name was
| presented, aud Mr.. LAWYER was chosen
by reclamation, George H. Alien and
| J. q. Donnelly were chosen secretary
and assistant secretary respectively,
and then few moments were wasted in
diSpoSing of motion of Mr.. Aberle to
adjourn until IL o'clock to await the
coming of absent delegates. While the
| debate was in progress so many dele
gates came in that the First ward states
man Withdrew his motion and the chair
was authorized to name a committee OF
Five on Credentials.
This he performed after the following
fashion:
Charles Ringwald, chairman; James For
restal, P T. Kavanagh, T. w. NJ. Cuteheon
| and Charles McCarron.
A committee Oh permanent organza-
| ton was the next one to be appointed.
| and the motion OF Mr. Donnelly, author
| iZing Chairman Lawler to appoint three
! gentlemen to perform this honorous
| task, went through, and Aid. o. 0. Cul-
len, Hon. Samuel Deering and Hugh
