and forever. and SO he had no necessity
on this account to revise his speeches
made in his first campaign. The great
state convention which nominated him
was alluded to, and the magnificent
body of men then assembled as the
representatives of the party compli--
mented. Referring to the state ticket
he said:
Every man on that ticket was NOM
mated without solicitation on his part,
and l stand here on behalf of every man
on that ticket, claiming the vote of
every Democrat in the state. claim
this because we are all Democrats: be-
cause | am standing on Democratic

get the votes of the Democrats who
voted the ticket two, four or six years
ago, a glorious victory is assured"

posed the Democrats were to blame for
the drouth and cold winter, If one
comes, as we'll as for the panic and the
railroad strikes. That the delegates
appreciated the good feeling of South
st. Paul was shown by the way they
turned out to visit the stocKyards dur
ing the noon recess, Not even the eX-
cellent music diScOursed from the
piazza of the Stock Exchange during
most of that time could divert them
from their trip OF inspection.
After assuring the mayor and his
people of the appreciation for their
efforts to make the convention sue
cess, Chairman Child started in and
gave the delegates speech that, while
not lengthy. was filled with genuine
Democracy. and met with the hearty
applause of the delegates. He was
pleased to be able to call so large and
enthusiastic convention to order.
"At last" he said. I'VE have been
able to inscribe on the statute books a
measure embodying some of the prin-
ciples for which we have SO long strug.
gled and fought. The hard times of the
past eighteen months came just as we
predicted, and are the result Of McKin-
leyism."
After reading the call. nominations
for temporary chairman were an
nounced to be in order. and J. G. Pierce,

enthusiastic gentlemen who usually at

were present as usual, and were Just as
enthusiastic as the regular delegates.
The report of the committee on creden-

The committee on resolutions was
next called on and Chairman M. H..
Kelley. of Rice, took the floor and read
the platform. 1t was then adopted by

feeling toward the gallant standard
bearer who was selected, was shown in
a striking manner when Hon, NJ. II.
Kelley, of Rice. in the course of his
speech placing Mr.. Hall in nomination,
said:
''The name of my candidate is the
faithful Hall, of Minnesota"
This was short sentence, but its
effect was magical. Instantly mighty
cheer went up, and for several minutes
the scene resembled a convention with
many times the number Of delegates
after the nomination of a popular idol.
That Mr.. Hall is this as far. at least, as
the people of the Democratic Third dis
trict are concerned. was demonstrated
yesterday.
The sperch of Congressman Hall in
accepting the nomination is master
piece, and places the Republicans and
their evasive and meaningless platform
adopted at ChaSka on the defensive,
where they will remain throughout the
campaign. The platform is outSpoken,
and the people by reading it Ill connec-

stand when elected, as no one who was
present at South st. Paul yesterday has
any doubt he will be.

for South st. Paul, and great day for
the Third district Democracy.

Child, of Mcleod, stepped upon the
platform and announced that Mayor
Fitch, of South st. Paul, desired to
welcome the delegates and visi tors.
With this Introduction the popular chief
magistrate stepped forward and in a
model speech of the kind told the audi
ence how glad the people whom he rep
resented were 10 entertain tine loyal
Democracy of the Third district. He
called attention to the industries of the
city and invited all to visit them during
the day. He declared the ten counties
comprised in the Third district to be
the best in the state and told of the
efforts of the business men of South st.
Paul to become better acquainted with
the people of the surrounding counties,
as we'll as of the entire state. No one
or no body of business men were more
interested in turning the farmers from
wheat to stock raising.
''South st. Paul." he declared, must
be to the Northwest what Kansas City
is to the Southwest, aud Omaha is to

mined that this contest shailterminate
in a victory for the cause for which we
have struggled for a generation or
more. This district must be kept in
the Democratic column, to which it was
restored four years ago. We must

duty Of every delegate to aid in arriving
at a proper conclusion. We meet in

''Can we honor the draft for such a

"Hurrah for D. NJ. Hail." shouted a
score of delegates, and amidst great
declared that he had such a man to pre-.
sent, man so trIe in his Democracy,
so loyal to Grover Cleveland that he is
the ideal candidate. When the Rice
county orator wound up with the name
of Congressman Hall the convention
fairly went wild. The cheering lasted
for Il full quarter of an hour, and was
Joined i'll by delegates and visitors
alike.
Albert Schaller, of Dakota. seconded
the nomination in speech that took
with the delegates and provoked the
widest enthusiasm he declared that
Dakota county had instructed. and
being good Democrats who thought for
themselves. he thought they knew
enough to know When they were well
represented in congress. Congressman
Hail had done exactly what the people
II Dakota desired. Mr.. Schaller de-
,lared that while their Instructions told
! hem just what to do they were not
: needed because every Democrat in
Dakota county was for Hall. To show
how strong this feeling is Mr.. Schaller
read the instructions given by the Dem.
ocratlc county convention, which, in
effect, told the delegates to die in the
last ditch for Mr.. Hall.
This ended the nominating speeches.
and A. j. Bliss. of Renville, moved that
the convention nominate Mr.. Hall by a
rising vote. This carried, and the Whole
convention seemed to move upward full
SIX feet. DR.. Conley, Of Dakota. moved
that committee of three be sent to
notify Mr.. Hall and request his pres.
ence. On this committee Chairman
Leeman placed DR.. Conley. Dakota: M.

Dakota.
During the absence of thlz committee
Marshal j. Adam Bede was--called fol

The convention was the most sue

delegates were taken from amons the
best men in The district. and, as Gen.
Becker remarked, it was a "magnIficent
body of men," 1T was successful not

Third District Democrats Tell the

There is no equivocation about the
Third district Democrats. They believe
in the principles of Democracy. and
they are not afraid to tell the people Just

which presents marked contrast to the
