VICTORY ASSURED.

The Democracy Of Ramsey county is
OH its mettle this year The tickets
nominated in the county and Legislative
conventions yesterday demonstrate
this. In both the people were the rul-
erS, and the results are such as to carry
hope and encouragement to every man
who takes pleasure in good government.
To Democrats, in particular. the two
tickets named yesterday are peculiarly
acceptable. On neither is there any
dead timber or bad material. On
neither ticket is there man for whom
any one can predict defeat.
The nominees for the legislature are
strong, capable men of character and
standing. The veterans with expert
ence are placed in the fiela alongside
young, active and vigorous workers.
and the result is well-balanced ticket
that will give Ramsey county high
place in the legislative halls of the
state at the coming session. The fact
that out Of the fire of dozen hard
fought contests comes this ticket with
no hard feelings on the part OF the de-
teated shows that fairness and justice
ruled at the primaries. Those Demo-
Gratis who were defeated in their lauda-
bic and honorable ambitions are now
among the hardest workers in behalf of
solid Democratic delegation in. the
next state senate. and. with one OF two
exceptions. in the lower house.
The county ticket is conceded to be
the strongest ever nominated in the
history of the county. With rare good
Judgment, the large convention seemed
to pick the right men for the various
positions; and, while som. good men
had to be defeated. even these were
willing to concede that the convention
had done its work we'll. The large at
tendance, completely filling Market
ball, indicated the interest felt in the
outcome, as we'll as the fact that the
people generally were convinced that
the ticket named by the Ramsey county
Democracy this year is bound to prove
successful. As one strong man after
another was placed in nomination the
great nall resOunded with cheers and
applause. The people were pleased at
every step.
BY the nomination of Judges Brill
and Kelly the Democracy of Ramsey
county raised themselves to a higher
plane than their Republican opponents,

mocracy has always favored removing
the Judiciary from partisan politics,
and by the action OF the convention
yesterday again demonstrated this.
The manner in which the opponents of
this policy received the result was
gratifying, showing most forcibly the
devotion of Democrats to the principle

The Democracy of Ramsey county
performed good days work yesterday,
which the people will ratify at the polls
in November. The GLOBE congratu-
lates the delegates who made up the two
conventions of yesterday, and predicts
glorious victory all along the line for
the two tickets placed IN nomination.
