and best Democrat in the state" as
Chairman Winston declared.
The committee on credentials an

Party of the People.
The Fourth district candidate de-
clared that he had not come to the con-
vention with the expectation of making
an address, but after congratulating
the convention on its size and enthusi-
asm he proceeded to make a strong
speech just the same. The Democratic
party. he said. is not made
for the success of any man,
but for the triumph of ideas.
He briefly sketched the history of the
two great parties, showing that the
Democratic party has always been the
party of the people. The Republican
party, on the other hand. has been the
party of the classes. In closing, Mr.
Darragh brought down the house by the
blunt declaration that the Democratic
nominee in the Fourth district is going
to win next November.
Contests All Settled.
The committee OIL credentials reported
no contests from any part of the state,
and recommended the admission of the

The report was then sent back to the

was adopted. Mr.. Winston making a
very brief address of acceptance. Mr..
Johnson. the secretary. also made
neat little speech OF acceptance. which
was the gem of the day.
The chairman announced that the
order of business would follow the call,
being to nominate candidates for gov

the supreme court and judges.

clared in order, Hon. DIV. Lawler took

An Able Presentation.
When Dan LAWYER takes the platform
in political convention the delegates
always expect rafting speech. and
they are never disappointed. Yesterday
was no exception, aud the fact that he
was to present the name OF the gentle
man that all expected 10 be
the next governor Of Minnesota
added 70 the interest of all.
As he walked down the hall Mr.. Lawler
was given an ovation that demonstrated
the hold he has on the affections Of the
Democracy Of Minnesota. Many of the
delegates were on their feet, wildly
cheering and waving their hats. He
commenced his speech by abiding

country almost into despair. The party
had done its utmost TO remedy the evils
il found, and while il might have
failed in some respects 1t had done
enough to convince the people that
the Democratic party is the party of
the people. The Republicans admitted
by their demand for the repeal of Re
publican attachments that they had
precipitated tine financial troubles.
They were convicted out of their own
mouths. The Mckinley law had been
repealed. and while the law just enacted
was not perfect 1t was the best law
passed in thirty years. He briefly re-
viewed the course of congress and the
administration, and was warmly ap.
plauded as he made telling hits upon
the shortcomings of the house and
senate.
Mr.. Mareck then stated that the state
central committee had presented the
name of Hon. =. B. Winston, of Mime
apolis, for temporary chairman Of the
convention. i. ID. O'Brien announced
that he was instructed by the Ramsey
county delegation TO favor the selection
of this officer from the floor, and tile
only way he knew of to do this was to
make nomination. The Ramsey county
delegation, he declared. had nothing to
do with Republicans or Popul!sts, and
it proposed to state its position at once
by asking for a chairman in sympathy
with that sentiment. If the Democrats
stood by that idea the Democratic ticket
could be elected. The Ramsey county
Democrats proposed to stand bv Grover
Cleveland, the Democratic house and
the Chicago platform. He therefore
nominated Senator s. w. Leavitt, of
Meeker county.
"Gentlemen." he said. "if you are
going to be Democ sats, for Gods sake
stand by Democracy and place the
power in the hands of the people,"
He was appiauded to the echo, and

AT THE FIRST SESSION,
The Convention Was Not Long in
Commencing Hostilities.

An air of uncertainty and expectancy
pervaded the opening scenes In the
great Democratic state convention at
the Auditorium yesterday morning. No
man knew what was going to ''happen
next" and no man had his speech pre-
pared. because no one knew who would
be nominated for even secretary of the
convention. This state of affairs was
in strong contrast to late Republican
gatherings where everything was cut
and dried and worked by prearranged
system.
The Auditorium was. of course, ap-
propriately decorated for the occasion.
Portraits of Grover Cleveland and
Thomas Jefferson were suspended over
the platform. the latter being con-
tributed by Thomas McDermott, of the
local committee.

ing that next to the honor of receiving

when Gen. Becker was the youthful
standard bearer.

Judge Willis. The first two were init
mately connected. while the fight
against Willis might have amounted to
more had Auditor Bierman's defeat
been added to the defeat of Senator
Leavett. The first skirmish came be-
tween ex-Mayor Winston, of Minneap-
oils, and Senator j. w. Leavitt, of
Meeker. Mayor Winston was pre-
sented as the choice of the state COM
mittee for temporary chairman, while
Senator Leayett was nominated
"from the floor" Chairman Thomas b.
O'Brien, of Ramsey. In this contest
the Hennepin man had the large dele
cation from his own county as we'll as
the big delegations from Stearns. WI
mona, lie Sueur, Dakota and Wright.
Leavett secured Ramsey, st. Louis.
Morrison, Houston, Meeker, Mcleod
and Wabasha and divided delegations
like Blue Earth. Carver and Goodhue.
The result was much closer than had
been expected.
How Herman Won.
The next contest was over the nom.
inat!on for auditor between the present
incumbent, Hon. Adolph Bermann, and
John ID. Kynaston. Over this there
was great deal of bitterness, it being
openly charged Oh the floor of the con.
ventlon that the railroads and the pine
land rings were determin ed to defeat
Mr.. Biermann. This set the tide
strongly in favor of Mr.. Biermann, and
he was nominated by large majority.
He had done no work to secure the
honor, but his friends were not idle,
and the delegates made up their minds
to take no chances, aud voted heavily
10 his favor. The unit rule worked
badly in this contest for those sho had
hoped to profit by it. and the big Ram-
sey and Hennepin delegations went
soiidly to Biermanr.
e1he result of the fight against Bier
man made the path of Judge Willis
easier, and, In spite of the efforts of
eX-L,eut. Gov. 'Charley" Gilman and
several other corporation agents, the
popular st. Paul iur'st was nominated
by acclsnation. In fact, the opposition
barely raised its voice. and 1t was well
that it did no more. for at that time .he
convention was thoroughly aroused and
determined 10 repeat the lesson al.

no attack to make OIL the state central
committee. but he deplored the fact that
that committee ''had not had the man;

This declaration gave rise to many
objections. and point of order Was
successfully made that Mr.. CutcheOn
was out of order.

Nominations for lieutenant governor

He appeared, he stated, in response to
the request OF nearly all the delegates

the fact that the Democratic

and that no candidates for the various
offices could be found. he stamped as

candidate, and he urged him
for lieutenant governor in a speech
that took with the boys. The nominal

other delegates and then on motion of

Stronger Than Ever.
The Democracy, ne said. occupied
stronger ground today than it had ever
done before. The party had assumed

ute books were covered with acts by the
Republicans fer the benefit OF trusts
and moRopoiiss, which had thrown the
