WELLINGTON'S SECOND.
A Splendid Effort by the Ramse,
County Attorney.
Cy Wellington was received with re-

w Wellington was received with re-
peated applause. He opened with:
To my mind this hour and this day is the
crisis in history of the Democratic party in
Minnesota. Never before has there been so
large or so enthusiastic convention in order
to place before the people of state nominees
for their SufrageS. With the occasion and
the hour there has been presented a man
who, in thought and character, influence
and personality. can draw unto linself all
the elements of dissatisfaction.
Mr.. Wellington proceeded to touch
upon taxation questions. There should
be system of taxation that was lust to
all. The federal powers, he remarked.
should not be permitted to destroy the
autonomy of the state. He continued:
l have no doubt, as Democrats, we will re-
deem this state from the power that has in
the past used its resources and its magnifi-
cent development to personal rather than to
public use
Mr.. Wellington once more urged the
Importance of the contest before them.
and eloquently declared that d. w.
Lawler was the best man that the DEM
Ocracy could select at its Standard
bearer. He had all the characteristics
necessary for candidate. This was
going to be an educational campaign.
They must not talk to Democrats: thev
need no talking. They must talk to
men who were not Democrats. Christ
did not come to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance. MI. Wellington
continued:

question. How are you going to convince
him that you are right? You mus do SO as =

We do this all the more cheerfully because

of the ticket, both national and state.
Mr.. Johnson declared the prospects of
the Democratic party in this state were
never brighter. He referred to Mr..
Davis reference at the Republican coll
yention that the Republican party al
ways had its face toward the dawn.
What did they see when they turned
towards the dawn? First. the McKn-
ley law, one of the greatest outrages
perpetrated by any political party on
the working people, and next was the
picture of the Pinkertons shooting
down the workingmen at Homestead
The Democratic party was no sectional
party. 1t was party that worked for
the welfare of the country at large.

the battle lines. until even the Repub-
licans conceded their str ength of their
position by running up a banner in
scribed "Reciprocity," which, while
meaning free trade was good thing,
still said we could not get too much of a
good thing. When he concluded, the
temporary organization was concluded
by electing J. A. Johnson, of st.
Peter, and B. d. Mullaney, of Henne-
pin, as secretaries.
The usual motion to appoint-by the
chair, of cOurse-a committee of Gre
dentials, of one from each judicial dis
trict, was made. j. j. Ryder, of Ram
sey, wanted one from each county in
stead, but this was cumbersome, and
his amendment, after the faces of Jim
Donnelly, J. j. McCafferty and G. H.
Lienau had appeared above the sea of
countenances, was voted down The
other committees were ordered similarly
constituted, though s. E. Bowen, of
Duluth, wanted the committee on per-
permanent organization made of SIM

A RINGING PLATFORM.
On These Splendid Planks the
Democrats Stand.

On IneSe SpienOlQ flankS the
Democrats Stand.
The resolutions, adopted by the con-
ventiOn without dissenting vote, are
as follows:
The Democrats of Minnesota, gathered in
delegate convention. mingle their rejoicing
with that of their fellows in the ma ton, that
the earnest voice of the rank and file of the
party was heard and Obeyed by the national
convention, and found expression in the
nomination of able and courageous Cleye-
land for our leader and in the bold. explicit
declaration that Republican protection is a
fraud" i'll proof of which we point to Home
stead where the militia OF state is keeping
peace in a quarrel over the spoiis between
the real and the supposed peneiciares of
protection.
Second-We denounce the rapacious and
conscienceless combination which has
grown up in this state with the connivance
of Republican legislatures between the eIe-
vator companies, the millers and the rail-
roads by which our grain markets have been
monopollzed and our farmers robbed of the
fruits of their hard labors. We reaffirm our
belief that this combination rests upon the
fact that the railroads of this state have
abjured one of their primary functions the
provision of suitable means for handling
grain and have given the same over to the
coutrol, OF private persons: and we again de-
clare our belief that the remedy, simpl but
etiicacious. lies in legislation recurring the
roads to resume this proper function, thus
giving to every station a free and open mar
ket.
Third-We recognize the great conspicuous
fact that the prosperity of our government
rests upon labor. and that all legislation
should be shaped so far as possible, to re-
lieve it from all unjust and oppressive bur-
dens, and secure to it its just share of the
benefits of our general prosperity.
Fourth-We are opposed to state interfer-
ence with parental rights and rights of con-
science in the education of children. as an
infringement of the fundamert Democratic
doctrine. that the largest individual liberty
consistent with the rights Of others insures
the highest type of American citizenship
and best government.
Fifth-We again call the attention of the
voters to the manifest injustice and Unequal
lty of our tax laws, under which wealth
easily evades its share OF the public burdens
and compels moderate accumulatIons 10 bear
the part it shirks, and we again invite the
coming legislature to serious consideration
of the subject TO the end that just. evenly
bearing system may be adopted.
SiXth-The Democratic party has always
been and is today the consistent opponent of
all legislation the result of which is to Gre
ate law made wealte which impoverishes the
poor and those of moderate means in order
to enrich the few. We condemn all use of
the taxing power for this purpose. We call
the attention OF the people of this state TO
the fact that the mineral wealth OF the north

nificent Address.
P. B. Winston now appeared on the
platform, and was greeted with cheers.
He moved the nomination of d. w.
Lawler by acclamation by rising vote.
The convention arose as one man and
cheered enthusiastically. Messrs. Win
stoE. Leavtt and Thornton were named
committee to wait on the nominee
and bring him before the convention.
This took but moment, and with the
band playing johnny Comes Marching
Home" and the convention wildly
cheering, he was marshaled UP the
aisle to the platform. The convention
stood upon its feet,and cheer after cheer
rent the air as he was introduced by
Mayor Winston. His air was magnitl-
cent, his voice superb. Every word of
his address rang out like a clarion of
victory. He said:
Mr.. LawIer, after the subsistence of
the cheering, said:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-
yention: Your committee has informed me
that the convention has placed me in nomi-
Iiatiou for the Office of governor. l had
earnestly and sincerely hoped that this great
honor and responsibility might have been
conferred upon an older and an abler man.

formed there was no slate made up, and
without further preliminaries he an
nounced that the committee recon-
mended for temporary chairman Alfred
Jacques. of Duluth. a Democrat young
in years. but not in service. Again The
chairman forgot to put the question to
the house. and it was embarrass-
ing to Mr.. Jacques, after he had
reached the platform, to have Blue
Earth delegate call attention to the
fact that this was but a recommends
ton. Campbell gracefully eXtricated
himself from the dilemma by suggest
ing that motion to elect Mr.. Jacques
should come from the floor. j. j.
Thornton, of St. James, took up the
suggestion, and the young Duluthian
was unanimously elected. He is a
graceful and fluent, though not flowery
orator, and his brief salutatOry was
easy, selt-possessed, and well received.

There were cries of question. and Ryder

There was small wrangle over pro-

j. j. McCatferty got hand from the
farmers by urging lack of time to take
a recess. and then the recess idea was
overwhelmingly voted down. j. j.
Thornton here sprung mine. He
wanted the judiciary taken out of poll
ties, and moved to name Mitchell, Buck
and Canty as the candidates. There
was wild uproar at once. The chair
ruled it out of order. but Thornton in
sisted it was an amendment. At the
suggestion of McCafferty. the chair
ruled 1t out as not germane to the orig
inal question. but Ed Stevens. of Hen
nepili, promptly renewed it as substi-
tute. McCafferty moved to table the
substitute, and the ayes seemed in the
majority, but division was demanded,

Aitkin gave way to Ramsey, and Judge

the cheers and confusion Hennepin

suit. There was no objection, and out

D. B. johnson, received with ap-
plauSe, said, il there has been any
doubt in the mind of the Democracy for
the last three or four days as to who
should be their standard bearer in the
coming campaign, all doubt had now
been removed. Hennepin, in the past,
had gone down to the queenly city of
St. Paul in order to select a Democratic
standard bearer for the party. This
year they held the convention in Min
neapolis. and SO long as Hennepiu went
to ST. Paul the county was SAID to be
always On the ''otf side" That day,
no Neyer. Hcnnepin was in hearty ac-
cord with Ramsey and the other coun-
ties. [Applause.l He referred to the
great success which had attended
the Democrats in placing Hennepin
county in the Democratic cokumn-in
fact.it was today the banner Democratic
county of the state. The county gave
Wilson 1000 majority two Years ago.
and, he proceeded, Oh behalf of the 1tS

seconded the nomination of that prince
of orators, that splendid lawyer, that
magnificent man. Daniel w. LaWler.

days ago. but they had made no impress
sion on the volume of water when they
quit work last night. The fill seemed to
let go altogether, and in ten seconds the
terrific force of the torrent of water had
torn away every vestige of the fill. The
chasm cnt through was absolutely in
conceivable until one looked at the
huge empty basin and realized the
amount of water it contained.
The danger is not over yet. just one

the Democracy of Minnesota will enter

trate the non-machlne character of this
convention it is only necessary to state
that out of all the candidates named for
the state ticket, aside from the judges,
only one was mentioned previous to
yesterday.
One of the pleasing features of this
convention was the great number of
young men who occupied seats as dele
gates and helped to select the nominees
and to do all other business brought up.
The young men, filled with enthusiasm
and loyalty. were present from all parts
of the state, and did yeoman service all
the way through. The old party lead
ers were not thrust aside by the young
men, but acted as the counselors and
advisers.
