nelly IOT MS championship at Cf1tlC8l
moment of our old friend, James Dillon,
for presidential elector. Mr.. Donnelly
found himself in most embarrassing
position, as Mr.. Allen G. Sexton was an
old and worthy gentleman, and an old
friend of Mr. Donnelly's, and an old war
horse in the cause of Populism. He de-
cided to throw the Dakota county dele
cation to Mr.. Dillon. This was the
pivotal point and Mr.. Dillon won by Sc
curing nearly seven-eights of the votes
of the convention, notwithstanding the
hostility of the Hennepin delegation. A
fitting acknowledgment of the services of
Mr.. Dillon in the cause of reform was the
Dental electOr-at-large.
We earnestly express the hope that Mr.
Allen G. Sexton will be selected as ma
tional committeeman of the Peoples
Party in this state, as tribute of &C
acknowledgement for his services. Many
delegates expressed their sorrow that
there was not room on the electoral
ticket to put Mr. Sexton on.
The old soldiers are also Indebted to
Mr.. Donnelly for the adoption of certain
resolutions offered by M. r. Prendergast.
of Ramsey. The resolutions were on
the point of being Laid on the table, -
when Mr. DOnnelly came to their rescue
and carried them through. Again Hen
nepin showed their bad blood and breed
| ing by offering hostile demonstrations
against the resolutions. The resolutions
| appear elsewhere, and were only rea-
| sOnable request to put in force the law
on the statute books to give the 'old SOL
| der" preference of employment in
state appointments, all qualifications be-
| ing equal.
1t is laughable to see with what glee
the daily press published the awful con-
dition of the convention by "Donnelly
not in it," 1t appeared as though the
wish was father to the thought" but if
they would publish the truth they could
not but acknowledge the ovation tender
ed Mr.. Donnelly when the convention in
sisted on his taking the platform, when
he rose to place Mr.. Aiken in nomination.
The great applause which he received
was an ovation fit for the man which it
was to, in recognition for his great SER
vices to the party. 1t looked to the del
egates as though he was very much lin
| it,"
| Mr.. r. D. Prendergast lost golden
opportunity in not throwing the Ramsey
delegation to Maj Bowler when there
appeared no possibility of securing the
nomination for acknowledgements for
himself, and giving Hennepin the graf
iflcation of throwing their votes to him
and claiming that they nominated him.
| This puts Ramsey in rather bad light
with Maj. Bowler, who had many warm
friends and supporters in the Ramsey
delegation, and but for Mr. Prendergast
being candidate he would have received
| nearly the full vote of the delegation.

A pecullar anu amusing incident Oc-
Cured at the state convention, which
greatly disturbed the delegates who par
ticipated in the proceedings. After re-
peated calls from the delegates to the
convention. and on motion that our ever
popular jurist of Ramsey county, Hon.
John w. Willis be granted seat on the
platform, was carried, what appeared to
be hostile demonstration occurred in
the galleries against this motion. It was
after some time before Judge Willis ap-
peared on the stage, and when he did
the delegates to the convention We'd
with each other in giving him the grand
ovation which he received And while
the judge was bowling his acknowledge
ments, the delegates were paralized to
see S. M. Owen at the chairman's elbow
at the same instant ready to make the
nominating speech Of John Lind. While
every daily paper was anxious to give
credit to Mr.. Owen for the ovation ten

measure of time that characteriZcs Cuban
and Spanish music.
1t is with these talents and these accom-
plishments that the Cuban senoTitas of the
colony in America have gone about their
work of raising funds for tho wounded
soldiers on tho island now clouded with
war. They havo organized clubs and So
cieties everywhere. and these organizations
give occasional entertainments Or bazaars,
to which the public is invited. An admis-
sion fee Is charged, and there are all sorts
OF pretty little bits of lace work and en-
broidery, pincushions, glove cases, etc.,
within for sale. The money paid for them
goes to the fund for tho insurgents. 1t is
surprising to know how much money the
girls have raised and are still raising in
this way. 1t is still more surprising to see
how untiring they are in tho work.
Little Senoritn Fredcsvinda Sanchez one
OF tho prime movers in all these entertain
ments at Tampa, has of her own efforts
sent. hundreds of dollars to the Cubans on
the island who fell sick and wounded be-
fore the Spanish line of battle. She always

Hundreds of large cigar factories have
been built in these cities within the past

OF course among the Cubans here the
spirit of patriotism runs as high as it does
with their fellow countrymcn who re-

are sent from this side by the Cubars
TO carry on the war. In some of the settle

SUPPORT THE TICKET.

Since the nomination of Bryan and
SewaIl the eastern press reports have
been burdened with the views of the
great Democratic dailies Of New York
City i'll harmony with McKrnley's
syndicate, while scarcely a word
showing how the Democratic papers
of the rural districts of the Empire
State stand on the Chicago platform
and candidates has been sent out.
These sturdy Democrats are march
ing shoulder to shoulder with their
brethren of the West and South. The
following ringing editorial from the
Livingston Democrat published at
Geneseo, New York, will give our
readers d pretty clear idea of the
feeling of the people Id the agricultural
districts Of that State. Under the
heading of Support the Ticket" it
says:
The Majority must rule. The Dem
ocratic National Convention has been
held and has placed in nomination for
Pre- sident of the United States, Will
Liam j. Bry.n, of Nebraska, and for
Vice-President. Arthur Sewall, of
Maine. The platform of principles
adopted does not meet our entire APP
proval, but the intentions and charac
ter OF the nominees are a safe guaran-
tee that, If elected, the interests of the
Democratic party, and with them,
those of the majority of the people
Of the United States, viii be promot
ed far moro than by the success of the
Republican nominees, and the tri-
umph of such principles as the Dem
ocratic party has been fighting
throughout its long and successful
career. 1t is marvellous how individ-
ual Democrats and Democratic news
papers can desert the party for which
they have long labored, throw over
board all Of the principles which they
formerly advocated, and announce
themselves in favor Of q Republican
candidate, whom they have long held
up to public execration. and thereby
turn traitor to the principles of De-
mocracy. No laudation by them was
too great of the Democratic nominee
for President, when ON the stump and
In Congress, he was fighting shoulder
to shoulder with them the battles of
Tariff Reform. A young man OF the
people, Of pure habits, of sterling char
acter and ability, energetic, enthusias-
tic in what he earnestly believes to be
for the best interest for the masses Of
the people, Of spotless reputation as u
man, he is every way worthy Of the
suffrage Of the people; and no one
a doubt for an instant, that, il elect
ed, he will administer his great Of.
fee conscientiously for what he be-
ieves are for the best interests of the
people of the United States. He is
unhampered by any pledges to any
corrupt syndicate and his official acts
are Tree from mortgage to any indi-
yidual, w~homsoever.
A great crime was perpetrated
against the people of the United
States, when, by the act Of 1873, a Re-
