ability and prominence counseled and
advised with sturdy young men who
have done well the educational work of
the campaign preparatory to the con-
.vention. 1t was surprise 10 the older
men of the Democratic party that so
many young men came to the conven-
tion and that they were prepared to
dead the convention if need be in de-
clarlng for pure Democracy and for
clean methods in conducting the cam
paign. More than one gray headed
Democrat had reason to feel proud of
the young Democracy yesterday when
they realized how staunchly the young
men and the representatives of the
1aboring classes stood up for simple
democracy. The ticket nominated is
distinctiyely one for the younger ele-
ment. Even the candidate for mavor
owed his nomination to the young men
through their club work and untiring
zeal.
Never was there such a convention
scene in this city, either city or state, as
that associated with placing Robert A.
Smith in nomination by acclamation
and his appearance in the hall when he
made his sreech of acceptance. The
hall and gallery were packed solidlv.
They several times gave vent to round
after round of cheers, with delegates and
all standing up and tossing their hats

had advanced toward the front of the
stage, realizing that the happiest mo-

pleasure depicted on every feature.
said:
ROBERT A. SMITH NAMED.
"Mr. President AMI Gentlemen of the
Convention: This is the greatest of the
ever saw in this city. 1t is with the
greatest pleasure l ever knew that am
about to do. l rise to perform duty
which to me is great privilege, because
] feel assured that am about to confer
upon our city l-reat boon. ST. Patlis,
and always has been. Democratic city.
1t has occasionally fallen under the mis-
rule OF the enemy, as any we'll organized
and conditioned body will sometimes
become diseased, but it has always re-
covered its health, and it is going to do
so again; next May will see the last
germ of the disorder eradlcated, and the
smiles of restored prosperity again
blessing our municipality.
"For over twenty continuous years the
Democracy ruled our city, and under its
'Denignant and fostering care it grew
and expanded from hamlet to grand
metropolis. Its wealth magnified and
multiplied as if the hand of Midas had
touched its resources. In a moment of
public panic two years ago, by false
issues, it was tricked out of its rights of
Democratic control.
"And what has been Il e e,ult? Judge
Flandrau was interrupted by some one
in the audience who shOu;et: 1--WE
sawed wood" This caused applause
which lasted some minutes.
Proceeding, Judge FlandIau said:

been two years of encouragement, de-

spsndency and ruinous depression. Not
one word has ever been truthfulIy said
in disparagement of our civic rule. The
people have, with cyclone of enthusi-
asm and wonderful unanimity, demand
ed a restoration of Democratic power,
and their appeal can only be honestly
and logically answered by the nomina-
ton and election of the man who has so
long and so faithfully stood at the helm
and directed the course of our govern
ment.
I'm the name of the Democratic party
of st. Paul, and in response to the uni
versal demand of her people, l nominate
Robert A. Smith for mayor of this city,
and with half the enthusiasm and zeal
that has been manifested in his nomina-
ton expressed in his election, l proph-
.e-y victory! victoryw
I When Judge Flandrau mentioned the
name of Mr.. Smith the convention and
audience arose In mass and cheered
for several minutes. Hundreds of hats
were tossed into the air. The scene
was repeated when Judge Flandrau had
finished. and there were shouts for
other speeches.
Dr., A. J. Stone left his seat in the
Seventh ward delegation for the plat
form, and was greeted with rounds of
applause. He delivered speech that
was eloquent. thoughtful and impress
siye, in seconding the nomination of
Mr.. Smith. Dr.. Stone declared that his
only excuse for being in the convention
was that lie was not politician. He

long sessions OF the day, the last of
which did not end until $3.50 last even
ing.
There was no soreness left at the end
of the day, apd the delegates and spec
tators went home with an increasing
enthusiasm that was in striking con-
trast TO the depression of the Repub-
licans at the close of Tuesdays conven-
tion. Another distinguishing charac-
lstic was the debating of every propo-
sition and the settlement of differences
with fairness that all recog nized the
justice of the ending.

declared that the Democrats could have
but one sentiment, and said: II regret
that / am not politician, but | repre-.
sent class of people who have been
through purgatory the past two years."
The speech of DR.. Stone was frequently
punctuated with applause.
ID. W. Lawler was called for and re-
sponded briefly from his seat. He said:
81 am glad to meet again the unterrified
Democracy Of ST. Paul. Never In the
splendid political history of the city be-
fore this has convention represented
the sentiment of the entire Democracy
The people have been yearning to throw
off the yoke of the past two years. The
record of the past two years has been
reign of terror as it has gone abroad.
The only service the police-officered by
heads from abroad-has done was to
club good Republicans of the Ninth
ward last Monday. The Republican
party came near importing mayor from
Minneapolis. 1t cut downithe wages of
the laborers. There is no use to recount
the reasons, but for two weeks the tide
has welled up so that there is today but
one man for mayor, and that man is
Robert A. Smith. Nominate him and
the 1900 Democrats will come back
to the party. and with them 1900 Re-
pubiicans. In the name of the Seventh
ward l second his nomination, and
promise that the banner Republican
ward will give him 1000 majority"
James Lahiff, of the Ninth ward. sec
onded the nomination ON behalf of the
laboring people who want to turn out
the Republican gang, and especially
that Caesar of the Ninth ward, Tim
Reardon, who was responsible for the
police clubbing the Republicans into
submission. He said the feeling in the
work shops was not that of the pOliti-
clans, but was dissatisfaction with the
Republicans. Speaking from the stand
point of the workingmen. he declared
that they would support Mr.. Smith.
Cyrus Wellington, the Demosthenes
of the Northwest, made an eloquent ap-
peal for Mr.. Smith. He wanted the
convention to carry their enthusiasm to
the polls and throughout the campaign.
He was interrupted with the cry ave
will do it," He spoke of the condition
of the city in its reputation for lack of
preserving the peace, and the neglect of
improvements that had entailed damage
suits. To remedy the evils he advised

to make speech.
Frank S. Battley was chosen tenn

Third ward, and j. c. Casey, of the
First ward. were selected as assistants
to Mr.. Battley.
COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
Otto l.. HaeSe moved for a committee
on credentials, which Aaron Poupeney,
OF the contesting Sixth ward delegation,
amended by making the committee con-
sist OF delegate from each ward. In
naming this committee Chairman Cutch-

Judge Flandrau asked to be relieved
from service OH the credentials commit

other duties in the convention.
Chairman Cutcheon declared that it
was desirable to have ii lawyer as chair
man of this committee. and declined to
excuse Judge Flandrau.

A committee on platform was then
ordered. The chairman named the fol-
lowing:

the chairman to clear the center aisles.
Chairman Cutcheon succeeding in Sc
curing quiet. Judge Fiandrau. of the
committee on credentials, made re-
port, which was read by George H.
Allen. A few proxies were given seats.
AS to the contest in the Sixth ward, the
committee offered a resolution seating
both delegations and giving each dele
gate a half vote. The Melady- Hare
delegation would not consent to this ar
rangement, and threatened to leave the
hall in body If they were not seated
in preference to the contestants. The
matter was taken up by the convention
separately, and after an animated dis
cussion the delegation headed by Otto
Haese, OF the Melady-Hare delegation,
were seated by vote of 50 to q. and
the contestants, headed by POupeney.
left the delegate seats In good humor,
with declaration that they were still
Democrats.
The temporary organization was made
the permanent one on motion of j. g.

At this point the enthusiasm on the
mayoralty question could no longer be
bottled. j. H. Ives called for the read
ing of communication from confer

St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1894-04-13

This included resolutions reciting the
fitness of K. A. Smith for mayor, and
asking his nomination without dissent
ing voice.
Secretary Battley had Just commenced
to real the ommuncation,w when Thom
as d. O'Brien. chairman Of the commit
tee on resolutions, reached the platform
and stated that his committee was ready
to report. The reading of the commnni
cation was suspended. and the platform
prepared was read by Mr.. O'Brien. with
several interruptions by hearty applause
from the convention and audience. The
resolutions sSemed to touch responsive
chord, and the committee was addition
ally rewarded bv unanimous vote of

on resolutions is AS follows:<

dissent that it was withdrawn. d. W.

pies to which we have so often pledged
our devotion, send tidlngs of succor to
the long-suffering citizens Of our mu-
nicipality. We hold that the primary
object of all government is to secure
absolute and equal protection to the life
and property of all the people in whose
behalf such government is main tanned.
The present Republican administra-
ton of this city has failed to discharge
this. its primary function. Its depart.
ment of police has been criminally and
pitiably inefficient. In the administra-
ton of the laws designed to regulate
the liquor traffic, a demoralizing favor
itism has been shown, which has de-
feated the purpose that inspired these
laws. Despite hypocritical professions
of a desire for economy, tax levies have.
been increased; nevertheless, streets
and sidewalks have been permitted to
become dangerous for travel, our citi-
Zens are thereby almost daily injured.
The records of our courts show multi:
plying suits for consequent damages.
We recognize the necessity inspired by
existing conditions that the utmost
economy consistent with proper dis
charge of the obligations of government
should be observed. and we pledge
the Democratic party if entrusted with.
the control of the municipal govern
ment to just, business-like and ecoS
nonical administration of its affairs.

aries should be abolished, but the SAL

Special to the Globe.
CRooKsToN, Mimi, April 12.-Much
surprise was caused here today when it
was learned that Prof. Moore, who has
been superintendent of the public
schools for ten years, would be let out
at the end of the present school year.
This was decided upon at the meeting
of the school board held last night. The
matter has caused much talk, and is
severely criticised in some quarters.
Mr.. Moore was recently requested to
take the superintendency of a school in
a larger city, and. as he was told that
he would undoubtedly be asked to re-
main here, lie refused TO accept the new
position. No charges were made against
the superintendent. and the cause of his
dismissal is unknown.
