Mr.. Lawler, NOR do we want this

ties had crept into the discussion, and
proceeded to argue against the wisdom
of free coinage. He asserted it would
not be in the interest of the great mass
of the people. Hef heartily seconded the
nomination of @. M. Hall.
Thos D. O'Brien said the issue Of free
coinage would be settled later, but he
desired to, speak for free men first,and
for that purpose he would support Mr..
Champlin.
During the delivery of the speeches
excitement was running high. The
good points were vociferOusly cheered
by either side, and at times the chair
had great trouble in maintaining order.
After every body seemed to become
exhausted with speech-making, roll

the appreciation Of your own conscience and
the gratitude of generous, faithful and self
sacrificing people.
And now, gentlemen, as you have much
important business to transact shall not
trespass further upon your time; but will
terminate my remarks with the hope that
utterances the embodiment of wisdom, and
your actions distinguished throughout for
unity and concord and that your work may
ultimately result in glorious aud triumphant
victory.
At the conclusion of Mr.. McDermott's
address P. B. Winston nominated E.
T. Champlin for temporary chairman,
and e. w. Durant nominated o. M
Hall. Before the vote was taken
Michael Doran took a few shots at his
opponents, who, he said. had attempted
to throw him down; but. he asked his
friends to support Mr. Hall for chair
man.
E. c.. Gridley, Of Duluth, seconded
Champlin's nomination, and In doing
so he said the delegates were called
upon to speak; with no uncertain voice
on the great question which is agitat-
ing the American people to-day. He
believed the Democratic party should be
outspoken for free silver, and paid
high tribute to Mr.. Champlin as a
friend Of the people.
L. A. Rosing, of Goodhue, charged
that Mr.. Deran had knitted Mr.. Hall

When the result was announced the
gold standard men cut loose with wild
shouts Of acclaim. They thronged the
aisles and cheered until they could
cheer no more Mr.. Doran was espec-
ially iubilant. He sprang from his
seat as soon as the vote was called and
announced with beaming face ana
flashing eyes that the old man IS mere
yet" Friends gathered to congratu-
late him. but the national committee
man was too busy paying his respects
to his opponents to spare any time for
hand shaking. 1t was some time before
the storm of cheers and hand-clapping
ceased: and when it did the element
of fight apparently subsided almost
completely.
Before Mr.. Hall was elected there
had been some very exciting incidents
and numerous speeches. In calling the
convention to order Thos. ]. McDer-
mott. chairman of the state central
committee, said:
"As chairman Of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee l call you to order; and, IN
doing so, congratulate you On the magnitude
of your assemblage, and at the same time
wish to remind you Of the vast responsible
ity that your task incurs.

ers that believe in Democratic principles

ner of Minnesota. From the British possess

Yesterday morning Hennepin county's liz

was victory for Doran.

silver shouters, I'VE have forced the old
man to compromise, they shouted. he
will accept o. NJ. Hall as chairman. Hall is
not his friend And the band played, the
free silver delegates shouted and sung songs
of victory. 1t was well they did, for the
result was a distinct gain for Doran.
Champlins defeat as chairman IMAM was vas alsas, aasa.,,

was known the "old man" did few turns

one looks over the situation. nowhere is
there a bright spot for the politicians who
sought to reorganize the Democratic party
