We, the Republicans Of Ramsey county,
Minnesota p convention assembled, hereby
The Republicans of Ramsey county reaf1rm
the principals of the party, as declared in
the platform of the last national convention.
Of lie S9Sea so S XII sSnda sa ii FL n
tat:on and prosecution of the present war,
IN the interest of humanity and the liberty
0! manklpd, and for that broad statesman
snip which has shown the world that sec
tional lines have been effaced, and that We
are citizens Of one flag.
10 our senators and representatives in
congress We tender our hearty thanks for
tner wise and patriotic course. In the career
OF Senator Cushman K. Davis, the Republic
recognize his scholarship, his craftsmanship,
his great ability and his answering deyo-
ton to his country, and, as his neighbors
and friends, we rejoice in his commanding po-
sition, and extend to him our congratulations.
His reelection will rebound to the interests
of the state. and we, therefore, instruct the
unit in favor of his selection as the choice
of the Republican party of the State of Min
nesota for United States senator, to be elect
ed by the legislature of 1899.
We commend and indorse the Republican
state administration for it's conservative and
business-like handling Of all public ques-
tions and for its care of the material inter-
ests of the state.
The delegates from Ramsey county to the
state convention be instructed to work in
dustriously and vote as unit for the nomin-
alton of Darius F. Reese, for clerk of the
! supreme court
Henry Johns moved the adoption of
the resolutions by rising vote. They
were adopted.
Fred c. Schiffmann moved that the
| convention elect delegates to the state
! convention as follows: At large, 10;
First ward, 9; Second. 6; Third,
i 8; Fourth, 6; Fifth, 5; Sixth, 5; Seventh,
! s; Eighth, 8; Ninth, 6; Tenth. 2; Elev-
enth, 2; country, 4.
Maj Denny moved to amend by SUB
stituting for the 10 at large. the
| amendment was lost.
| Although a motion for a ten min
utes' recess was lost, it was consid-
| cradle longer before Chairman Fine
! hout emerged from the corner OF the
stage with the much disputed list of
ten. Meanwhile he had been In con-
i ference with Eli Warner, Oar Reese,
Tim D. Sheehan, c. A. Rose, the janitor
at the capitol; Sam Lowenstein, Doc
| baltimore, and at intervals host OF
| others, each trying evidently to get
| some particular one named on the
list of ten at large.
Lowenstein and baltimore were at
swords points in the Third ward, but
with the others it was largely case
| of free-for-aIl fight. 1t was generally
conceded that Oar Reese, as the favor
| tie son of the Ramsey delegation,
| should have a considerable voice in the
| selection of the delegates at-large, but
| so MANY were TIE woes tod by the
| various wards that when Oar got
through. he had hardly been able to
take care=of his friends.
The list as finally adopted was as
/ follows:

| The Second ward, through S. D.
| Downs, protested against the ignoring
of the Second ward in the selection of
delegates at large. The burden of his
complaint was that Eli Warner should
| H. hnn <l@1o -
| from his own ward The Second had
been promised delegate at large, but
| the promise had not been kept
| The following resolution, introduced
| by T. B. Neuhausen was adopted with
out dissent:
Resolved. that we condemn the so-called
which admitted to the public employment SO,
| 900 Democrats without berg requ red to pass
| any examination, and then extending the
! ru,es to keep them In Office.
| We call upon our senators and representa-
| tives to support any measure which will do
| away with existing abuses ard Conditions
| grown out of the so-csled civil service re-
I form.
When all had been done, and the
| convention was ready to adjourn, Mr..
| Reese was called on for a speech. He
responded in characteristic manner.
After thanking the convention for
| the honor it had done him in indorsing
| LOT RECONCILIATION as the Favored
son of Ramsey county, he apologized
in way for keeping the delegates
waiting in the heat by reminding them
that SO many Of the young men who
should be there taking part in their
| deliberations were now at the front
fighting for their country under a trop-
Meal sun.
While he had no enemies in the dele
cation, every man chosen to represent
Ramsey county in the state convention
being friend Of his, he had been sor-
ry that some men had been denied an
opening on the delegation. He referred
| especially to William r. Merriam, who
| had, he said, spent more money for
the cause of the Republican party in
| Minnesota than any man in the state.
| He had hoped that Mr.. Merriam might
| be given place on the delegation at
| large, but he was turned down. Mr..
that old wheelhorse of the party,
Moses E. Clapp, given place on the
delegation, but he too had been turned
! down. Indeed, he would have had no
| difficulty in naming ten times seventy
five delegates who would have all been
personal friends of his. While he was
| sorry that these men could not have
secured places, he was certain that
| all the men named were personal
friends of his.
The convention then adjourned.
