great many young men and perfected
an organization that was invincib!e last
Saturday evening, and will be heard
from III future campaigns.
There were a number of. the old
leaders. like Judge Stanford Newell,
who were absent. while d. +. Reese,
George Lamb, "Shell'' Blakely, E. H.
Ozmun, Harris Richardson, Leon Il.
Chamberlain, "Charlie" Chapel and
others gazed at the convention from
seats in the rear of the hall. The con-
finish, and the eighty-six McGill men
held together in admirable style. The
chairman, Ellie S. Warner, in taking his
office, announced tnat he was McGill
man from his boots up and proposed to
do his share toward electlng a McGill
delegation.
The convention will please come to
order" said Chairman Fred Zolman
shortly after 10 O'Clock yesterday morn,
ing to the assembled representatives of
the Republican party of Ramsey county.
II nominate Ell S. Warner Tor tempo
rary chairman" said Gen. Mark ID.
taken seat in the front row of seats
for that purpose. The nomination of
MIR. Warner was seconded from various
parts of the hall.
Had not the call better be read?''
Querried the chairman.
The call was read by Secretary q. P.
Ritt, and Gen. Flower renewed his
nomination, and, to the surprise of
those who had been expecting opposi-
tion, Mr.. Warner was elected without
objection. On taking the chair, Mr.
warner made a speech that surprised
all those who had been led to believe
by one faction that the McGill men
were

with the Nelson interests. The last
doubt as to the perfect independence of
the McGill men and their determination
to run the convention was removed by
their speech in which the nationality
issue was referred to in manner that
demonstrated the feeling of the victor
ious faction. I'VE want candidate for
governor" said Chairman Warner,
"who is Republican and has Repub-
lican record upon which to 90 before
the people of the state. We do not care
whether he is an IriShman, a Norwegian
or German"
This reference to the weakness in
Nelson's record OH the tariff question
was applauded loudly ana the presiding
officer continued his remarks.
To be chosen chairman of a county con-
vention of one of the largest and most enthu-
sfsastic Republican counties in the state he
said, is an homer | feel proud of and wish
to heartily thank you for. 1t also gave me
pleasure to be selected by the McGin dele
gates as their chairman, and to have that ac-
ton unanimously ndorsed is more than
could have been expected. The interests of
ex-Gov McGill, as well as all other interests
shall receive as fair treatment as possible at
my hands. As is well known have been for
harmony all of the time, but coupled with
that have been i'll favor of the voters of
Ramsey county expressing their honest
choice and sending good representative
delegation to the state convention who
should do all in their power to secure the
nomination of Hon. A. r. McGill as
governor of Minnesota. In conference
committee meetings and elsewhere some
things have been said that should not have
been, and from now on we trust the Repub-
llcans OF Ramsey county will work harmoni-
ousiy, having in view the nominating of the
strongest man for governor we can find in
the party.
There isprobably no question but what we
will need all Of the votes we can get this fall
We have the Depocratic party, whose plat
Republicans. The Peoples party is DON
nelly and Fish, platform and all and then
we nave the Alliance party of the the only
Gen. James II. Baker, whose platform is
Baker for Office. Now 1 say. gentlemen. we
must present solid front against these side
shows and carry out the principles
and follow the example of our national con-
vention, and that is put up honorable men-
men who have been and are honest, CON
sistent true Republicans. who have record.
and one that is Republican, not giving anv
weight as to whether they are Irish, Germans
or Norwegians. When we do this, gentle
men, we always win, and 1 trust we will
adopt this course in our city, county ana
state politics surely this fall.
The Committees.
Robert Seeger, the McGill mems
choice, was chosen secretary without
opposition, and Henry Johns moved the
appointment of committee on creden-
tials, to consist of one member from
each ward and two from the country he
appointed. This was carried, and Col.
S. LoWenstein moved the appointment
