Ais the road TO victory i'll the coming struggle.
TO insure this glorious result nominate Dan

OF governor OF the State OF Minnesota, and
rejoice i'll the assertion that he possesses all the

| have known Mr.. Lawler for years and when

There isnta more eloquent. more prudent
aud more democratic lnan in the whole COM

ofthe nomination by reclamation, which

and Thor.ton OF Watonwan, was appointed

! band commenced to play, and before it
ceased Mr.. LAWYER had entered the hail
| and stood Oh the platform bowling to the
| cheering crowd. When silence was re-
stored Mr.. Lawler spo kesas follows

! lief that the state and national tickets will re-

Greeley OF Lincoln, Chase and Sumner is our day
merely the political machine of Could OF Van
dArbilt and of Andrew Carnegie. The party
| that marched to the aid of the black slave in
1860 is to-day in the hands OF a ring of men
who lay their whips on the backs OF sixty-five
million tree American citizens. A protective
tariff which the peopl generously granted iii $50
| is to-day in Il Time Of profound peace higher
| than during the darkest days OF the War OF the
| Rebellion. twas Grover Cleveland who raised
| his voice against this iniquity and who raised
| his hand and tore the mask from the face of
protection. What has protection done for our
| merchant marine? The fleets OF vessels which
once covered the ocean sailing under the Amer

| the produce to and from thisfcountry almost
| without exception carry Il foreign flag at their
masthead. and carrying trade is
almost entirely i'll the hands of foreign nations.
Fhe farmers and workingmen OF all classes are
/ called upon to pay an unnecessary tax on all

monopoly lays its hands upon our people does
the government give the farmer and the work
man projection in the markets OF the world for

THE HOMESTEAD MATTER.
Within the last few weeks the condition made

Homestead the saddesJ and most terrible dis

see this fall the old Democrat and the young

it on the state house i'll November.

THE PLATFORM.
Mr.. LAWYERS speech was we'll received,
and he delivered it in q manner which
quite captured his auditors. The tumuit
! VI applause having subsidized. Lewis Baker,
chairman OF the committee on resolutions
submitted the following PLATFORM, which
| was read in a .unctory manner and
adopted by the conventions:
The Democrats of Minnesota gathered in del
egate convention. minge their rejoicing with
| that OF their fellows in the nation that the ear
| nest voices of the rank and file OF the party was
heard and obeyed by the national convention
| and found expression i'll the nomin alton of the
able and courageous Cleveland for our leader
| and in the bold. explicit dsclard tions that Re-
| publican protection is a fraud, in proof of
| which we point to Homestead, where the militia
OF a state Is keeping peace i'll quarrel over the
spoil between the real and supposed benefciaries
| OF protection.
We denounce the rapaclous and conscience
| less com bnation which has grown up i'll this
st ate, with the connivance OF Republican legisla
lures, between the elevator companies the
millers ann the railroads, by which our grain
| markets have been monopolized and our FARM
ers robbed OF the fruits OF their hard labors
We reafrm belief that this combination
rests lipon the TACT that The railroads Of this
| state have abjured one of their primefunct ions
the provision of suitable means Tor handling
grain, aud have given the same over to The con-
troll of private parties, and we again declare our
belief that the remedy, simple but efficient lies
i'll legislation requiring the railroads to resume
| this proper function. thus giving to every sta
ton a free and open market.
