Time has demonstrated that the dire pre-
dictions made by the Democracy two years
ago concerning the working of the existing
tariff were conceived in falsehoOd, born in a
desire 10 catch Republican votes. and have
suffered an early death from the returning
tide of prosperity that is beginning to be felt
IN all parts of a prosperous commonwealth.
We congratulate the people of this. one of
the most important cong essional districts
IL the Northwest, that the day is near at
hand when we shall be represented no longer
by one who knew not the geographical loca-
ton of the leading commercial city of the
district during the last session of congress-,
and that he will give way after March 4, 1898,
to a representative citizen who Will devote
his energies TO carrying out those principles
which Will conserve to the upbuilding of the
agricultural, commercial and Individual in
terestS of the district. and the welfare and
prosperity OF the wage worker, farmer an d
entire business community.
We affirm our belief that the adoption by
congress of such laws as Will protect proper
~, lives and rights of all who are least able
to protect themselves. will go a great way to-
ward adjusting all differences between labor
and capital, and we look to the Republican
party to establish such legislation as will
tend to ~adjudicate all differences of this
character by peaceful arbitration.
We urge the passage of laws by the nation
al congress that will prohibit convict and
contract labor which comes in direct CON-
petition with the wage Garner who depends
on his daily labor for his ~suStenance, and we
demand that the immigration of paupers and
criminals from other lands be prohibited.
We assert that all of the laws should be en-
force I by the legally constituted authorities,
and that no private armies should be allowed
TO take part in enforcing the law or attempt
ing to preserve the peace.

Stevens introduced a resolution author

gressional committee, which was like
wise adopted, and upon motion of Gov.
McGill the convention proceeded to
nominating a candidate for congress-.
ThereupOn Gen. SanbOrn presented
the name of A. r. kiefer. He spoke at
some length upon the grave RESPONSE
bilitieS involved in the position Of coll
gresham, and he confessed that it was
hence with some hesitation that he
made the nomination. He then gave a
biographical sketch of the aspirant.
The nomination was received with ap-
plauSe.
A Washington county delegate de-
clared that ii Ramsey county voters will
support Col. Kiefer as they had sup
ported a Washington county candidate
W. years ago, Washington county will
send Col. Kiefer to Washington and lay
y. n. Castle OH the shelf. At this point
Henry Johns also seconded the nominal
ton, and made all sorts of promises of
what Ramsey county will do, and the
nomination was made unanimous bv a
gislng vote.
Col. Kiefer was then introduced by a
committee of three. He accepted the
nomination with thanks.

The nominee then laid considerable
stress upon the grave responsibilities
that have to be assumed by a congress-
man, i~nfirentially, at least, agreed that
he was the very man for the place. The
colonel had come with the speech all
written, and he read it liter an attempt
to speak it from memory. He agreed
that the nomination was an honor that
SHOULD satisfy any man, and he alleged
that it is more marked because it came
from people, many of whom had known
him for nearly forty years.

IL. +. Stevens sent up a poignant la

by the Republicans at the hands of

that the true sentiment of freedom and

their lineage to Bunker Hill. He paid a
tribute to j. q. Blaine, and commiser-
ated his recent sad bereavement. He
proceeded at lengtht to review the work

the declaration that Col. Kefer had
been elected to a position in St. Paul,
but through a system of fraudulent
counting he never received his seat.
ID. +. Reese was next called to the
platform. He wished to pay a compli-
1nent to the residents of Lindstrom fol-
the generous hospitality that had been
given to the delegates to the conven-
ton. He spoke next of the candidacy
of Knute Nelson. After roasting Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic platform,
Reese came down upon ID. w. LAWYER in
characteristic style, and he then re.
viewed the municipal campaign in
which Kiefer was defeated.
A. Il. McGill was next called out. He
%recOunted his ideas Of the issues of the
campaign. He pronounced the tariff
