| Col. A. r. KIefer was nominated py
| aeclamation by the Republican conven-
ton OF the Fourth congressional dis
| trict, held in Lindstrom yesterday.
The little lake resort was in holiday
| attire. Flags were thrown out to the
| breeze, and the ball was decorated with
bunting by the ladies who are guests of
the hotel, and the village band played
national airs, while the colored quartette
sang jubilee songs. Messrs. Brunson
d Flynn. the landlords, left nothing un-
done to contribute to the pleasure and
comfort of the delegates.
The only business of the convention
was the nomination of candidate for
congress, and this was soon over, and
then the afternoon was spent in oratOri-
cal pyrotechncS. The delegates had
come .primed for the event. and they
made the best of it. The Democratic
party was denounced with all that ven
ON and vltuperatiOn that usually char
acterizes Republican convention in
this district, and Congressman Castle
was painted as being to be despised
and abhored.
The Ramsey county delegation Sc
lected eX-Gov. A. X. McGill as chair
man, and, prior to calling the conven-
tlon to order, a meeting was held and
all vacancies filled. There were few
vacancies. however.
Waved His LambreGuins.
Stanford Newell, the chairman of tho
congressional committee, called the con-
vention to order at 10 O'Clock in the old
time and lOng-accepted style. But he
couldn't refrain from few peculiar
acrobatics: The GLOBE, it seems, had
offended his sensitive nature. and he
felt called upon to administer rebuke,
such as it was. He had early i'm the
morning bought copy of the GLOBE,
and with his little knife he had carefully
clipped out the political cartoon of the
statute of Liberty, with its array of pla-
cards, and he held it up to the view of
the convention.
1.-TWO years ago." he rected in a
tremolo, and he choked with emotion as
he proceeded, 'twO years ago left for
an European trip" he pursued with
particular emphasis on the European,
land L left the party to take care of
ITSELF" he added with commisseratiOn.
Il read of the landslide" and he evil
IDENTIFY referred to the election of Con-
gresham Castle. and here his emotion
became Strlkingly poignant. for doubt
less he was conscious of his powers and
knew full we'll that had he been at the
helm results would have been reversed.
II met good many Republicans, tired
and looking for rest. while was
Abroad" he continued, and then he
declared chat if there is a Republican
now to be found who is tired he was
anxious to meet him. Here he produced
the clipping fran the GLOBE
and began his drastic censure.
He denounced the paper in scathing
language, and pronounced the editor,
who is chairman of the Democratic CEN
tral committee, as a ''genial old political
sinner" He said the GLOBE has begun
an ''educational campaign" and he said
that the object is 10 extend the circula-
tiOn of the GLOBE. The statue of lib
erty, labeled with frauds and impOsi-
tions for which the Republican party is
held responsible by tie nation was here
exposed to the view of the convention,
held between the trembling thumb and
finger of the excited chairman. Mr..
Newell then related the incidents con-
nected with the presentation of this
modern Colossus of Rhodes to America
by republican, and IN reply to the
query ''does liberty enllghten?" he
cried that it does, and he offered the
simile that it was really the pirates who
are trying to destroy the old snip.
Then He Told a Yarn.
at reminds me of little story" said
the censor. sit runs like this, as l re-
member it. A great big dog was bay
ing at the moon. A little boy asked his
maternal ancestor,
Mamma, is the moon luminaryP
eyes, my DEAR
"'Can it hear the dogP
No, my child
"'Well, then let's go to Sleep 1t can't
hurt the luminary, and it may do the
dog good.'"
This provoked a round of applause,
and Stanford warmed up to his subject.
He said that while in Europe ne saw
women yOked to cows doing field work.
He saw women breaking stones and do
ing all kinds OF manual labor, and he
drew comparative picture of the labor
of women i'll this country under pro-
tective tariff system. He declared that
the laboring men here reaped protect
i've benefits.
Immediately upon Mr.. Newel's taking
the chair, Sheriff Anderson came for
ward and presented the chairman with
speech explained that this key was not
only the open sesame to Lindstrom, but
was really the secret that opens the
hearts of all the people of the district.
Routine Amenities.
at the conclusion of Stanford New
els roast, Andrew r. McGill took the
floor to nominate Judge Noyes, of Wash
ington, for chairman. This went with
cheer, and the patriarchal judge
came TO the platform, and in sporting
parlance made the declaration that he
had always been q Republican, and like
Nancy Hanks, he had never made a
skip nor break.
AT this juncture Albert Berg produced
a large oak gavel. He particuiarlzed
that in 1854 Mr.. LIndstrom came to
ChIsago county and built the first
church. 1t was only 1Sx10 feet, and it
served also as school house. The
gavel had been turned out of log that
formed a part of the structure. He
then branched out into a political
speech. lie said that Chisago county is
Swedish county, and that although
SwedeS hate Norwegians, they will
demonstrate this fall that they are
American citizens.
August Anderson was nominated for
secretary in fiery speech by DE-. Reese,
and he was elected, and after the ap-
pointment of the following committees
a recess was taken until 2p. LII.
