Asked to put into briefest words his
Impressions Of the distinctive character.
lstics Of the Kansas City convention,
one Of our ablest state leaders said:
patriotism, enthusiasm. earnestness,
Notwithstanding ran. nant. -
From the moment of reading CT the
Declaration Of Independence to the
closing cheers at adjournment, closing
3 convention of great labors and tre-
mendous interest, Americanism was
the dominant sentiment In the
speeches, in platform declaration spe-
officially, in candidates offered and not
chosen, in the wild scenes Of the con-
vention when the national emblems
were universally used, patriotic senti.
ments, at times almost a frenzy of such
fervor, predominated. The national
airs brought the thousands to their
feet invariably, as references to the
Lincolns, Jacksons, Jefersons and
| Washingtons in ideals, brought cheers
and redoubled enthusiasm. And over
and above all was the convention Amer
lean, in the ticket made, placing the
greatest of living Americans first, as
he is in the hearts Of his countrymen,
and in choosing as Bryan's companion
OH the ticket that noble American, the
tried and true son of Illinois, ex-Vice

timent at Kansas City, and American
ism promises an overwhelming victory.
The wisdom of the platform in all it's
parts is now conceded, attesting anew
the Judgment and wisdom of our great
leader. With few and rare exceptions,
such as the St. Paul Globe, the Demo-
cratic party is reunited. Its allies,
Populists and Silver Republicans, have
! fallen into line. For the first time in
generation the lines of battle are
solidly drawn for the contest as to
whether the people shall run their own
government. Who will doubt the re-
suit in such an alignment?

toon this week, of Uncle Sam present.
| ing Bryan to the people at his immense
meetings. What a contrast with the
meetings that the Hannaites will run.
Democracy led by Uncle Sam, Repub-
licanism by Boss Hanna.
And along with Americanism Dem
ocracy takes possession of the flag this
year. Democracy will wave the flag
against the Teddy hat.
For Minnesota the outlook is inspir-
ing in a great degree. All reform ele-
ments accept the Kansas City action as
wise and worthy Of approval, and for
the first time in many years will all
such forces be found supporting
single electoral ticket, nationally, as
they will doubtless be found doing as
to state officers after the state conven-
lions called for Sept. =.
Was there disappointm ent as to Mr..
Towne? Possibly with few, until
they realized what he had gained per-
sonally from his candidacy; that from
a representative Of state, as a mere
candidate, coming from one of the
allies, he has risen to a position Of &C.
tual leadership of the grea it Democratic
party, destined to great future, how
great no man can foretell Charles A.
Towne week ago hailed from Duluth
and Minnesota. Now he lives here but
halls from the nation at large.
At this writing the 81 unds of the
trough riders'' can aim st be heard
coming up from Chicago for the St.
Paul blow-out-the snort of the war
horse Tor steam bullgin0, the sharp
crack of the champagne b. tile. In the
distance can almost be s$en Teddy's
dental exposure, oversprea& by the halo
from National Committeeman Shevlin's
lambrequins. But what ! disappoint-
ment there will be if Teddy has not re-
covered from the sprain of his voice
that he got out in Oklahoma.
Speaking of Governor Roosevelt hav.
ing sprained his voice, Daf y Commits
sioner Bowler says he is reminded of
the accident to one of Colo ael Liggett's
famous COWS. The animal slipped and
strained her milk.
Speaking of Governor Roosevelt's
presence here, perhaps hi may drop
some information as to What he has
done about the Democratic mayor of
New York for owning ice; trust stock,
along with what he knows of the 13
out of Is Republican men bers of the
board of directors of the trust, as well
as the president and vice president of
the trust who are also p3pminent Re.
publicans of New York. Still, Governor
Teddy may omit mention:
