AN uNlNsrRucrgD DELEGATION

s. ss
After nearly twelve hours of hard
but friendly contest the opposition to
the Hearst movement won a decisive
victory in the state Democratic conven-
ton. It was aasplendid gathering and
a splendid triumph. The Democracy of
Minnesota never appeared to better
advantage, and they did great days
work
The delegates at large are John Lind,
G. d. O'Brieng L.. A. Resting and H. l..
Buck. They go unrestricted. No res
olution of instructions was presented
to the convention. The delegation as
j whole, Including the district dele
gates, has an anti-Hearst majority.
The attempt 'to,-captuFe minnesota for
the New York newspaper man has fail
ed and three out of four of the dele
gates at large are favorable to the can
didacy of Judge Parker.
Best of all, this result was reached
with the utmost good feeling on both
sides. The Hearst men were COM
pletely outgeneraled and they took their
defeat with good grace. Harmony
reigns i'll the ranks of Minnesota DEM
ocrats, and our representatives at St.
Louis will be free to cooperate with
those of the states where a Democratic
victory must be won.
A great danger has been aVerted and
a great opportunity opened. The har-
mony reached by the convention in its
closing stages and the results that it
gave to the people of the state presage
Democratic success. With one pur-
pose, one thought and one effort, De-
mocracy may now go forward and its
future is bright with promises. We may
safely trust the fortunes of the party

meeting to be called by the chairman.
Fourth-Resolved. That this meeting
hereby tenders to Father Harrison it's
deep sympathy and loyal support. and the
secretary OF this meeting Is. instructed to
hand him a copy of these resolutions.
T. F. Mcclure thought that the
meeting should state what would be
done if Father. Harrison Is not rein-
stated, holding that this was fully as
important as the declaration that had
been made in the resolutions. Chair
man LawIer started to carry out this
suggestion by asking the parishioners
in turn, and several had answered that
they would demand the return of their
money and notes, when j.. G. Nolan
arose.
'Tt is possible" said Mr.. No
Ian, "that if l. should mention
name, that of the archbishop, it
would not be applauded in this meet
ing, and this would be the first meeting
within my knowledge in the state
where the mention Of his name has not
been received with enthusiasm. I be-
lieve that many of the people in this
hall are torn with contending emo
tons. I know that such is the case
with me-. 1t is well that we proceed
slowly in. matter of questioning au-
thority, and let us so regulate our ac-
tons and control our thoughts that
we will be able to leave the hall with
love in our. hearts for great our noble,
our beloved archbishop
The last mention of the archbishop
brought forth considerable applause.
and the speech stopped the carrying
out OF the proposal to make public
the names Of those who would back
up the demands made by the foregoing
resolutions, and caused the adoption
of motion that all who desired the
return of their money il Father Har-
rison- is not restored to st. Joseph's,

fore they left the hall.

reported that there is 1871 in cash on
hand in the building fund; that the
only outstanding bill Of which he had
knowledge was that of the architect,
which amounted to $1,500. This claim
was referred to the general committee
that will be named by Chairman Law
Ter.

HELP III ALONG

Fourth of July celebrations similar to
the one now being planned by the Com
mercial club of this city for the chill
dren must ultimately redeem indie
pendence day from those disagreeable
and disastrous features that have come
to be associated with it. And such eel
ebrations will, if they multiply in every
part of the country, impart a new sig
nificance or, rather, revive the old sig
nificance of the day. Therefore the
citizens Of ST. Paul should do what
they can to make this general celebra-
ton a success. Last year the CONNER
cial club tried for the first time the ex-
pertinent of marshaling the children of
the city on Harriet island and of per-
hitting them there to enjoy games and
fireworks to their hearts content 1t
will be remembered that the day
opened disagreeabIy, but in spite of
that fact there were at least two
thousand children who took part in the
patriotic exercises which fittingly be-
gan the day, and before evening fully
six thousand children were on Harriet
island.
To the children, perhaps, the patri-
otto exercises are not the most i'm
portant part of the days celebration,
but all obtain more or less pleasure
from the singing in unison of patriotic
songs and every child dearly loves to
carry and wave flag. So, uncon-
sciously, this patriotic preliminary to
the days festivities stirs the love of
country that lies dormant in every
childish breast. Even those. who take
part in the celebration merely because
they hope to get some fun out of it
cannot remain unaffected by its under
lying significance. The exercises must
make them better and happier children.
But there is another argument equal
ly as strong that must convince those
who need convincing of the desirabiiity
of such a general celebration as that
planned by the Commercial club. The
committee that has it in charge takes
every precaution to insure the safety
Of the children. There is no more
perilous day for the youngsters in the
whole three hundred and sixty-five
than this day on which we celebrate
the Declaration of. Independence Of the
country. Permitted to gather in little
groups all over the city,. well out of
sight of older folk, they are in danger
of injuring themselves and of doing
damage to property with the explosive
toys in which they delight. But as
sembled in a spot as admirably adapt
ed as Harriet island is to the needs Of
such gathering, the danger becomes
infnitesimal. The Commercial clubs
plan is along the line of the effort that
is being made all over the country to
lessen Fourth of July fatalities and it
deserves such encouragement as the
citizens can give it.
