completed this strong delegation.
The Democrats of Waseca county
were so delighted to get out of the Sec
ond district that they elected full list
OF delegates, and then alternates for
each, and to show their joy and good
faith they came TO Austin twenty-four
hours ahead of time. J. o. Chandler.
the veteran, partner and lifelong friend
OF Senator Il. .. Craig. represented the
older element, while Thomas Bohan, J.
G. Murphy and John Moon represented
the young men. Mr.. BOhan was chair
man of the committee OH permanent Or
ganizatiop, and Mr.. Moon made
neat and eloquent speech secopding
Cap. HarrieS' nomination. Mr.. Murphy
made no speeches, because he is one of
those workers who allow their actions
to do the talking.
For the first time in many years Judge
IL. X. Wells, of Preston, was missing
among the Fillmore delegates. Chair.
man H. T. Tolmie, however, was on
hand with such old stagers as D. A.
Sullivan. John Anstett, J. B. Wall. NJ.
u. TerWilliger, E. d. Bartlett, X. II.
Baker and E. Il. III. Adams. Dodge
county sent L. Slingerland, A. La Due
and l.. E. Cowdery to represent the old
warriors. while James Fitzgerald was
present as the representative of the
young Democracy. Outside of the del
egatlon there were numerous Dodge
county Democrats present, Editor 0. H
Phlllips. Maj. Walker, A. Hallett and
5. 5. Hitchcock being among the num-
Der. The veteran of this delegation
was Mr. Slingerland, who felt so conf
dent that he was not stranger that he
offered a reward for the delegate who
did not know Tommy Slingerland.
No such man was found. and Mr.,
Silngeriand had no wager to pay.
Z. Z. Stacy, who is veteran among
veterans, came from Freeborn, and
brought with him ID. n. Gates. P. C.
Cummings, Delos Wedge and S. P.
Berghley as delegates, and a whole car
load of visitors. w. E. Dunbar, c. F.
Grant, J. A. Oppiiger. John Shay and
j.. OBrien represented Steele. The five
delegates to which Mower county was
entitled were: j. l.. Gulden, chairman
OF the delegation; G. Sutton,H. S. Mer.
FIJI, j. ). Schuyler and C.. A. Parker.
But the delegates and visitors from out
side the city felt as though they were at
least thousand strong.
A convention was never treated more
handsomely than was this convention
by the people of Austin. Republicans
as well as Democrats devoted their time
to entertaining the delegates. The re-
suit is that Austin will always hereafter
be considered as one of the best conven-
tI0n cities IN the state, and this is lust
what she is. Austin not only has fine
opera house, but she has also one of the
handsomest and roomiest court houses
in the state. The railroad shops, to-
gether with many other industries that
are located there, make Austin manu-.
featuring town of Importance. Sur
rounded by as fertile farming country
as there is in the world, her commercial
interests are great. All these
things combined make the city
prosperous and busy city filed with
au intelligent and liberal class of people,
who are willing TO hear all sides of the
political issues of this campaign, as was
shown IN the great meeting of Tuesday
evening. Young Democrats are numer-
GUS. aud the vim with which they take
hold OF things augurs great results in
the future. Austin is, by the way,
beautifully located along the Cedar
river, and has many fine residences and
numerous massive business blocks that
would do credit to a city of $4,000
