The convention was probably the hot
test and hveiest one ever held in the
city, but it was convention Of free
speech and free voting and Democratic
in every sense OF the word. Bernard
Cloutier was nominated by Mayor Wins
Ton for temporary chairman and there
being no opposition he was triumphantly
elected. James Gray, of the Times, and
@. A. Cornman were made secretaries
and then the convention was ready for
business. The chairman appointed the

w. Scott; Sixth, Ed Burke; Seventh, j.
w. Huntington; Eighth, M. Quinlan;
Ninth, F. Kealey; Tenth, Matt Gross;

wart. At Large-Titus Mareck, Ralph
Refs, James Tamm, Charles Filteau.
On permanent organization--P. B.

Joe Jepson, G. M Foote.
On resolutions--D. B. Johnson, W. III.
Donahue, G. r. Cameron, w. H. Mills, r.
g. Gobel, j. j. Kinnane, John Lally.
The committee on credentials finished
it work in good time and was ready to
report at 2 o'clock when the afternoon
session was called to order.
The chairman of the committee on
permanent organization, P. B. Winston,
reported in favor of making the temper
airy organization permanent, and this
was done with the greatest unanimity.
The committee ON resolutions endorsed
Grover Cleveland, Daniel w. Lawler,
James w. Lawrence, and the administers
tion of Mayor Winston, and then made
the following declaration of principles:
We are in favor of the enforcement of
municipal laws giving citizens the great
est personal liberty consistent with good
government, the welfare of society, and
the peace and happiness of the commu-
nifty; and we believe the enforcement of
such laws should be left to the legally
constituted authorities of the city OF
Minneapolis.
We favor eight hours day labor upon
public works and municipal improve
ment.
We deprecate and deplore the inter-
ference of corporations, and more par
ticularly that of the Minneapolis Street
Railway company, in municipal nomina-
tions and elections. .
We heartily protest against the inter-
ference with the rights of the laboring
classes by armed bodies of men other
than legally constituted authorities, as
exemplifed by the hired Plnkertons in
the struggle of labor against monopoly
at Homestead, Pa.
The report was enthusiastically
adopted. The convention then proceeded
to the nomination for Mayor. An in
formal ballot was first taken before any
nomination speeches were made, and it
resulted in giving James C. Haynes TIA
votes and Franklin G. Holbrook 40
votes, LII being necessary for choice.
B. F. Nelson took the platform and
placed Aid. Haynes in nomin alton.
Mayor Winston followed and nominated
Mr.. Holbrook, his secretary. w. 81.
Donahue seconded Haynes nomination
aud referred to him as 'the only Demo
crat who ever carried the Second ward"
O. T. Erickson seconded the nomina-
alton of Holbrook. d. B. johnson, the
"Stephen A. Douglas Of the Northwest,
followed in an eloquent speech for Hol-
brook and made the most of the one ar
Rument against Haynes-that the council
will be close and it would be better poll
tics to leave him there than to run the
risk OF losing the council through the
possible election Of Republican sue
cessor to Haynes. Then he ran over
Mr.. Holbrook's public record as city
comptroller and praised it as 1T deserved
to be praised.
On the first formal ballot, Haynes re-
ceived 173 votes and Holbrook III. The
.Holbrook men were jubilant. Then &C.
CURED the only unpleasant incident Of
the day. John Fichette. better known
as@C Coffee john made the strange mo-
ton that Holbrook be nominated by 90
