The Independent Democrats of
Ramsey county assembled in the
court house Saturday afternoon
and nominated a complete county
ticket. For enthusiasm the meet
ing was unparalleled in the history
of the party in this county, and in
one of their acts showed that it
was not yet devoid of good sense.
In the morning the central COM
mittee met to discuss ways and
means for the campaign this fall.
Thos. Kleinogel, state Democratic
committeeman, was there and sue
ceeded in infusing new hope into
the minds of the fusion faithfuls.
In the afternoon, Populists and
Democrats Of all description, from
all parts of the county congregated
in the court house and put up the
ticket on which they will stake
their hopes this fall.
The meeting was called to order
by Geo. A. Vannier, chairman Of
the county committee. After or
der and quiet had been secured,
Walter Fulkerson was selected as
temporary chairman, and VIM
Nixon temporary secretary. In
taking his chair Mr.. Fulkerson de.
livered speech describing the
great honor he felt had been done
him in electing him to the lofty
position, also outlining the princi-
pies adopted by the party at Kan.
sas City. He compared the tyran.
ical acts of Presid ent Mckinley tc
Louis Napoleon, of France, and
I pointed out the striking resem
blance in their respective charac
terist:cs. It would not be man,
moons before our own president
through the use of the powerful
standing army he is raising
would overturn all existing condi
tins as did the usurping Napoleon
and raise himself to the imperia
dignity by the bayonets Of his sol
diers. But Mr.. Bryan would mos
assuredly dispel this dream Of EN-.
pire in November if the voter
would only awake to their imninen
peril. Then on motion of the del
