The list was voted as acceptable to
the convention.
John f. Lamont proposed that the
full vote of the delegation be cast on
all questions, which was carried.
o. E. Wells made brief address
which can be found in full elsewhere
in this paper.
]. F. Lamont cautioned democrats
to go to the polls on primary election
day and vote for their own candidates
and let the republican candidates
severely alone. He warned them of
the necessity of getting out twenty
per cent of the party vote, to preserve
the ticket. The mistakes and follies
of the past, in voting for republicans
at the primaries, he condemned.
f. w. Genrich spoke of the necessity
of energy on the part of all members
of the party in making democratic
victory possible next November. His
advice, summed up, was that demo
Gratis should camp on the trail of the
republicans and give them no rest un-
til they are driven into their hole and
the hole closed up.
j. w. Coates said he believed it the
part of political wisdom to get away
from some of the mistakes the party
has made in the past, one of them
being that of placing men on the tick
ct who have been repudiated by the
people at former elections. He believed
it the duty of the democratic party to
educate the people along tariff lines
and let them know how the present
tariff law works.
There being no further business the
convention come to close.

councils previous action in refusing
to grant the society's petition. This

letter stated that at the Jspsrary
meeting of the county board the lat
ter body had appropriated 5Ootowards

pirate like amount The society
had accepted the county's money and
it was therefore, to put it bluntly, up
to the city to appropriate $500, or the
grounds would be closed, Council

matter, some favoring the society,
others being opposed to making the
donation. When a vote was taken
the petition was granted by vote of
81. Mayor Lamont placed himself
on record as being opposed to the
action of the council, but said that
he would not take any measures to
nullify the work of the council.

were no means of getting out OF the
town except by boat. The steamer
Barker was sent down from Bayfield,
and it carried all the women and
children away from the town. A
number of settlers lost their build
ings, and much timber was destroyed.
The fires crept up onto the town
