Park, on August 2. at Minnetonka will

society people. Several hundred in
vitations have been sent out. People

The Ramsey County Democratic con-
vention met on Thursday last and in
structed their delegates to vote for the
nominations of the Hon. d. w. Lawler
for governor. As lawyer Mr.. Llwler
has but few equals at the Minnesota
bar. He is a ripe scholar and brill
liant orator. His nomination would
be concession to the younger Demoe-
racy of the State. His popularity is
co-eXtensive with the borders of the
State because. in whatever capacity as
public servant, he has demonstrated
q lirmness of character. and maintained
a spirit of liberality and broad comprc-
hensiveness on all subjects of public
concern.
Mr.. G.. NJ. Foote, the chairman of
the Democratic County Central Com
mittee returned from New York City,
on Thursday last. AS a member Of the
notification committee from Minnesota,
he has been in attendance at the GER
monies when Cleveland and Stevenson
formally accepted the nominations for
president and vice president. Mr..
| FOote pronounces the event most
conspicuous indication that Cleveland
is popular in N. Y. Thelocal arrange
ment was under the management of
Tammary and Madison Square thea
/ tire was filled to its utmost capacity.
Mr.. Foote states that New York is
dead in line for Cleveland.
Mayor Wright of st. Paul. who is
the first chief executive officer that the
i Republicans have elected in that city
/ in twenty years, has not seen tit to re-
cognize any of his eolored Republican
brothers up to the present time. He
has recently appointed eighteen police
men but not colnred mans name
appeared in fe bunch. Before the
election Mr.. Wright promised the
Negroes the world and fence around
it, but now he thinks that the time has
not come for the poor deludcd Negro
TO carry broom or a cops club. He
believes like Ben Harrison that white
men should hold the Office while the
black man does the voting.
