The announcement that the Cleveland
club would meet at 42l Nicollet ave-
nue. last night called out large at
tendance of the members of this. one of
the strongest political organizations in
the city. 1t was noticeable that large
number OF Democrats who were identi-
fed with other clubs during the last
campaign, and who never had much to
do with the Cleveland club. were on hand
last night, either to voice their interest
i'll the club or to ask for admission 10
membership. This was taken to mean
that the name of Cleveland is name to
coniure With i'll Minneapolis at this
time, when there seems to be contest
on III the East between the Cleveland
followers and the adherents of other
presidential possibilities. To show
where the Cleveland club stands on this
question. o. 7. Erickson offered the
following resolution, which was unanl-
mOusly adopted:
Be it Resolved by the Cleveland Club of
Minneapolis That the principles which in
spiIed the Democratic victories of 1890 are in
the minds and hearts of the people insepa-
rably entwined about the great name of Cleve-
land. We demand, for this years contest
the leader whose devotion to the common
people first excited the hostility of protected
monopolieS, and whose voice and spirit even
to this hour, animate the 'irrepressible con
fict.n
Firm in the belief that this is nearly the
unanimous sentimSht of the Democratic
electors of this city and state, we adjure our
brothers all over the Union TO nsme no other
! name but Cleveland, and we declare that the
voice of Minnesota will be heard III the Chi
cago convention sounding the same unfalter-
ing note.
The election of new members was the
first order of business. About twenty
five new members were elected, among
them some of the most prominent Dem
ocratS in the city. But two were re-
lected-or one rejected and the applica-
ten of the other withdrawn. c. 3.
Maben had the nerve to ask to be
elected to membership. He was so
will have difficulty in digging
himself out in time to vote at the
next presidential election. Matt Gala
CHER presented the name of ID. B. john
son. There were so many objections to
voting on johnson that President Ledg-
erwood was forced to take cognizance
of the sentiment and rule that Mr..
Johnson's name be allowed to lay on the
table. But JOhnson's name was with
drawn. The objections to johnson were
that be is suppos ed to be a Hill man, and
no Hill proselyters are wanted in the
Cleveland club. Toward the close of
meeting Mr.. johnson was given
chance to explain himself. He did so,
and affirmed his Democracy and his adj
miration for Grover Cleveland, and
promised to support him in any and all
conventions. Maben was also given a
chance to talk. He said that he had al
ways been a Democrat. but he knew
tnat some were opposed to him because
he chose to be independent in local con-
tests.
The election Of president caused lit
S. r. Childs and Aid. j. C. HAYNES.
Howe Paige opposed Aid. Haynes on
the ground that his affiliations were
such that he could not be expected to be
in sympathy with the spirit of the club.
He meant that Haynes stands close to
the mayor and that the MAYOR
is supposed to be Rilf man.
Haynes, in neat little speech,
dispelled all such ideas and
was elected. The other officers elected
were: Vice president, Matthew Dona-
hue; secretary, A. M. Goodrich; treas
urer, L. X. Campbell. The officers were
appointed committee to select an eX-
ecutlye committee of one representative
from each ward, and to appoint all the
committees provided for by the consti-
tuition. A vote of thanks was extended
to all the outgoing officers. At the next
meeting Matt Gallagher will offer an
amendment to the constitution making
a two-thirds majority of all present nee
essary to elect. The club will:meet again
next Wednesday night at the same
place
