RESOLUTIONS.
ReSOlred, That the Democrats OF
Blue Earth county, State of MinneSO-
ta, in convention assembled do hereby
affirm the doctrines of Democracy
as promulgated by Grover Cleveland
Be it further
ResolDed, That we appreciate the
earnest and unceasing efforts of Grover
Cleveland in his earnest advocacy OF
tariff reform true to the pledges made
by him in his letter of acceptance of
the Chicago platform of 1892.
Res0lred, Further that we commend
his fearlessness in quelling an incipi-
ent rebellion, as was experienced in
Chicago short time ago, and thereby
gaining the respect of every true and
loyal citizen.
RESOLVED Further, that in w. L. Will
son, the fearless advocate of tariff re-
form, we have representative leader
in the house who will not rest until
this country is delivered out of the
hands of the mOnOpOliStic PhiliStineS,
and we appreciate the honest efforts
of all those who faithfully stood by
him to carry out the pledges of tariff
reform.
1t will be noticed that the report
changes the order in the official call,
recommending the nomination of sena-
tor and representatives first instead of
last.
John Duane moved that the report
be adopted by sections.
John Diamond moved to amend the
motion so as to amend the report tO
the effect that the order of the buSi-
ness be carried out according to the
original call.
Chas. O'Conner raised the point that
the amendment was not germane tC
the first section. The chair sustained
UnIS UDJecUion.
Mr.. Duane then moved that the
first section of the report be adopted,
and this was carried without oppOsi.
tiOn,
When the second section was read
Mr.. Diamond renewed his amendment.
Mr.. Duane called for the reading of
the original call, and this was done,
after which Mr.. Diamonds amend
ment was carried, so to 25.
The resolutions were then adopted
without objection.
1t was now three o'clock, owing to
the leisurely way in which the con-
ventiOn was conducted. Chas. O'Con-
ner arose and presented the,name of
L. O. Randall for auditor, vouching
for his being democrat of democrats
and spoke of his fitness for the office.
He moved that the nomination be
made by acclamation, and this was
carried unanimously.
A delegate named G. III. Dietz for
treasurer, saying that that part of the
county had been sighted by the party
in the past, and that the treasurer
ship belonged to that part of the
county by right.
JIG. Graham nominated Mich Bruels
as very competent man.
The chair appointed Prof Brandrup,
Henry Heinzeman and George Krost
as tellers, and an informal ballot was
taken, with the following result:
Bruels, SO.
DietZ, so.
Mr. Graham moved that Mr.. Bruels
be nominated by acclamation, the bal
lot to be declared a formal one, and
the vote was SO close that the chair
was unable to decide it. Mr.. Graham
withdrew his motion and Mr.. Keith
moved that formal ballot be pro.
ceeded with. This was carried and a
ballot was taken. There were 11O del
egates entitled to seats in the conven.
tiOn, but when the votes were counted
1T was found that there were 119 votes
cast. The chair declared the vote null
and void and ordered the convention
