Il
Strong Resolutions ID His Favor ara A.iop-
ted With q Hurrah.
Hennepin County s delegation in the
j Democratic State Convention will be
solid for Lind.
The Democratic primaries Monday
nigh ghtestablished one fact beyond 9 doubt.
Lind is the choice of the Democrats in
that county, and he will have their un-
animous support il the convention.
Every precinct, with one exception, and
that was the Fifth Of the Second ward.
reported IN favor of Lind and silver, and
Support of the Democratic national tick
ct. The exception was ward in which
there was contest between the silver
and gold men. Both tickets received au
equal number Of votes, but the peculiar
feature Of it was that the delegates on
the gold ticket were pledged to vote for
Lind. With this understanding they
were admitted to the county convention
and given a half vote each. The total
gold strength, SO far as could be learned, !,
consisted of this one and a half vote.
The were some surprises in the prim-
aries. G. M, Foote, who has not been q
very enthusiastic Democratic worker for
some time, owing to his differences of
opinion with Winston, came to the front.
he was elected as a delegate by the
Twelfth district OF the Fifth ward, Grant
Stringham, one of the heavy manufacur-
ers in the Northwest, who has always
been for gold and the single tax, aposta-
sized and was elected delegate last
night. O. c.. Merriam, who has been
supposed to be wavering in his monetar;
convictions, came to the front as silver
man and was elected as a delegate with
this understanding. In but,verv few Of
the precints were there any fights be-
tween silver and anti-s;lver forces. The
latter were SO far in the minority that a
a contest was out of the question.
| Hon. John Lind is the candidate Of
tile Leader for Governor of Minnesota.
We believe he is also the candidate Of
three fourths of all the common people
who are more concerned about good
government than about party success.
We believe he is the choice of the masses
without regard to former party afiiia.
tions and that Republicans, Democrats,
Populists, Prohibitionists, Free Silver
cranks and Hie3e- hound Gold bugs, who
are really honest in their desire to have
good, clean administration Of state af-
fairs will vote for him if they get a
chance, And they are going to have a.
chance, for while he is not an office seek
er and never has been-while he has
held aloof from the movement to put
him to the front and has repeatedly de-
clared to his nearest friends and Though
fthe press that he was not an aspisant for
fany Office, and was only anxious to work
| in The ranks. yet his friends and the great
mass of people who know and appreci-
ate his worth would not have it so, and
Ethey have simply ''smoked him out" Of
his retirement and have brought to-, bear
the mighty pressure OF an almost unani-
nous public sentiment, that will not be
put OFT and that insists that he be. our
standard bearer in the coming struggle.
| And when he finally realized how strong
and wide spread was the demand he
bowed to the will of the people and SAID, ],
slf it is as you say. WILL accept nom-
linatlon and if elected will do my duty
according to my best understanding Of
what my duty is
| And SO It is that the people have al
ready triumphed over the machine and
honest men are likely tofnd q name up
on their ballots for the highest state Of
fee in their gift. that is not placed there

lschemes of designing men,. Monteyldeo
