Judge Flandrau rose up when the
cheering ceased and said: .I have ac-

spoke with deep feeling, saying he felt
perfectly at home in such a gathering.
l value this vote of confidence and Of
thanks from you." he continued. more
than any other compliment that could

time a great deal of business had been
accomplished without any friction

been decided on, and resolutions adopt

give Minnesota Democracy a very high
standing in the nation.
Under the circumstances, it was not
strange that the jubilant delegates held
a genuine political love feast after the
conference had adjourned.
