was not abated when the temporary
chairman, Hon. d. T. Calhoun, Of
StearnS. was Introduced as the choice
of the committee. Hon. j. II. Wendell.
OF Wright, was named as secretary and
c. f. Mcdonald Jr.. of st. Louis, as as
sistant secretary. Mr.. Calhoun's adj
dress was brief, but clear exposition
of the issues of the campaign.
In its interests mineral commercial and
agricultural. SAID Mr.. Calhoun, this district
is easily the first in the state and one OF the
first in the United States. This is a fight for
principles, not men. and the Democratic
party stands todav as it always has stood,
holding that political questions are not set
tied until they are settled right. We are
here to select man to lead the fight in this
district worthy of the gallant captain who
heads our national ticket and the brill
liant leader, Dan w. Lawler, who heads our
state ticket a man even the Republican
papers are obliged TO praise. 1t is not neces-
sary for me to say anything about this reel
proclty humbug. Mckinley in laying out the

voted his entire time to proving his peculiar
theory that the tariff is not tax and if.it is,
that the foreigners pay it. II the latter is true,
we ought to give those men representation,
for did our forefathers not fight the revolu-
tionary war on its ground that taxation with
out representation is tyranny.

sent up the following platform. which
was read by the secretary of the COM
mlttee, j. X. Leach, of AnOka.
The Platform
The Democracy of the Sixth congressional
district d \ reaffirm their adherence to. Demo-
cratic prlnciI les as laid down and contended
for by jefferson. Jackson and Cleveland
We heartily indorse the platform of princi-
pies adopted by the national Democratic con-
vention at Chicago in 1892. believing that the
triumph of those principles will be conducive
to a free government in fact as well as in
name.
We believe that the long perpetuation of
our free institutions the happiness of our
people. the progress of our country require
return to these principles in the administra-
ton of her public affairs
We deny the right of the federal govern
ment to levy a tax for protection, so-caled.
It's effect is 10 take the earnings Of the many
under gulSe of law and increase the riches of
the few. 1t restricts the trade of the people
without rendering an equivalent, fosters and
promotes trusts and combines, destroy
