Next Monday morning at 10 o'clock the
Democratic city convention will meet at Mar
ket hall. There will be 146 delegates in the
convention, and they will proceed at that time
to nominate a complete city ticket from
mayor to constable. There will be no dearth
of eligible candidates to accept nominations
for the various Offices, and there is no ques-
tion that the Democracy CT St. Paul will have
cause to be proud Of the ticket nominated.
Delegates chosen at the Democratic primar-
les Monday evening to the number of over 100
assembled yesterday at noon in the office of
Michael & PEBBLES. j. ]. McCafferty and
John Giltinan, the duly elected chairman and
secretary of the Democratic convention, were
present, and adjournment was taken until
O'Clock. in the old Globe building.
AT the time set the rooms selected wouldn't
begin to hold the crowd of Democrats who
had gathered. Permission was secured to use
the ninth floor, where there is a room which
will easily hold thousand people More than
and intensely serious. They had carried chairs
and tables up several flights of stairs; but
they were willing to do much more.
In calling to order, Judge McCafferty said
1T was matter for congratulaton that so many
Democrats should have gathered under such
circumstances. 1t showed the deep interest
that honest and fearless Democrats have in
their city and in their party. Such delega-
tion represented the real sentiment of the
voters at the honest primaries conducted in
the different wards. 1t is purposed to select
men as candidates who will have at heart the
best interests of all. Better be defeated on
the side of right than be in the position of
certain people after their conduct of this
morning. We want only earnest, honest, pub
Gc-spirited men, and the voters will tolerate
no others.
County Attorney Butler explained the duties
of the convention. He said it must organize
as a delegate convention, and where there are
vacancies in a delegation they must be filled
by the members present from among the
qualified voters Of the precincts in which the
vacancies exist.
? A committee on credentials was then named,
as follows, D. F. PEBBLES being chairman
First-P. H. scanlan.
Second--J. f. Franzen,
Third-E. J. Darragh.
Fourth-John B. Covington

Eighth-D F. PEBBLES.

While the committee was out making up it's
report Chairman McCafferty called upon T. ].
MCDermott, chairman of the state central
committee, for speech. Mr.. McDermott said
1t should be a source of pleasure to every
Democrat to be in such a gathering. 1t sig
nifed that taunts heretofore cast at the Demo-
cratic party will lose their force and effect:
and further he believed it meant that the very
best men will be named to seek the suffrages
Of the people
John E. Hearn expressed the hope that the
pre- ceedings of the convention would arouse
the Democracy to a realizing sense of the care
lessness exhibited heretofore. Principle and
virtue are inherent in true Democracy, and
after our misguided brethren have tired of
their present folly they must, if they are
Democrats, come back to the true party of
the people.
DR.. E. w. Buckley said it is the duty OF
every Democrat to stand up for the party
when it is assaled from within even n,0rc
strongly than when attacked by the common
enemy. It is not too late yet. he thought, to
put up such ticket that the people will rally
to it and elect it.
Jared How had found out that the people
cannot be led, dragged or hauled around by
any men, and experience had taught him also
that honest, straightforward work is the only
kind that will win.
L. J. Dobner remarked that while he might
be considered in part responsible for the ex-
listing condition, he was glad to find such
hopeful spirit of unity and enthusiasm as he
saw about him.
Thomas d. O'Brien said that for the first
time in six months he felt sure that the can
di6ate to be nominated by the Democracy will
be successful at the polls. A debt of graft
tude is owing to the men who have started
even such disgraceful row as has moved you
to meet here this afternoon.
The present situation is worth thousands
of votes to the Democratic party and to the
city of St. Paul, which we all love- The
Democratic party must declare for law and
order for economical government and for
absolute honesty in all public offices. 1t
must not fritter away its strength in
fight between two sets of gamblers, but
must defeat both of them.
Pierce Butler believed the organization be-
ing made by the convention would bring to
the support of it's candidates all the thought
full voters and taxpayers who have ever been
y
There is honesty enough, brains enough and
energy enough in the local Democracy to
nominate candidates who will command pub
lie respect, inspire confidence and lead to
a sweeping victory on the 5th day of May
