2:30 and lasted until $50. after which
held an executive session.
Some 200 members of the Democrat C
association, hailing from all parts of the
state, assembled in the Ryan ordinary,
and were called to order at 2:30 by Pres
ldent Charles NJ. Foote, of Minneapolis.
ut becomes my duty, duty which is
a great personal pleasure" said Mr..
Foote, moment after he had sounded
mis- gavel, ito call to order the third
ocratic association. Gentlemen. l am
not an orator, and cannot entertain you
with speech. am a worker in the
ranks of Democracy, and always expect
to be. 1t was my pleasure to convene
the organization of this association
three years ago at the Merchants
hotel. The object was to organize a
body of Democrats to assist the
central committee. There were only
handful of Democrats present
on that occasion; but during the first
year we succeeded by hard work in
securing a membership of l21. During
the yearof 1892 we renewed our efforts.
and increased the membership to 24S.
Then we put on good deal more steam,
and we have now rolled up member
ship of 1,155. [Cheers.] At last years
meeting proposed that we reduce the
membership fee from $40 to S5, and l
think the step taken has aided materi-
ally in bringing Democrats into the
organization. We have now organiza-
tions in almost every county and pre-
clnct in the state"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Foote'S re-
marks Secretary Smalley read the mi n
utes Of the last meeting, and was fol-
lowed by Treasurer Dan Aberle with
his annual report. Mr.. Aberle's re-
port showed that the total receipts
were Sc, ,470.67, of which S5,059.67 were
| disbursed. leaving balance Of Sl,411.
Mr.. Aberle appended supplemental
report showing that from Dec. 81 to
Jan. Ii s145 has been received, of which
| S105.5S is disbursed. The total balance
! on hand is 81, 45042.

vision, and this work has been In some
of the counties completed and in others
is still in progress. The condition of
the poll warrants me in saying that,
outside of the cities of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, the association will be
able when the campaign opens to put at
the disposal of tile state central COM
mittee poll covering the entire state,
excepting few counties lying on the
northern border.
The executive comm ittee decided to
raise what should be known as all edu.
cational fund for the purpose Of pur-
chasing and distributing reading matter
during this year. 1t was purposed to
secure fifty contributors at $50 each for
that purpose. the payments to be made
when fifty subscriptions were obtained.
Mr.. Puell undertook this work in con-
nection with his other work, and the
required number of subscriptions have
been secured. The panic has interfered
very much with the collection of the
fund. and in view of it have asked the
subscribers to pay towards 1t in INSTALL
ments such sums as they felt able to
give. We have received up to the end
of the year on this account S525.

educational fund to use we would not
be able to make a general distribution
of reading matter with it, and that
