Show Minnesota Democrats. Chicago, 2.Times' St. Paul: Ihe democralio couveDtion met to-day. The commitUee on resolutions submitted sub-mitted majority and minority reports. The majority report yielded a little to the greenback and labor conventions, whose candidate for governor. Ban-ning, Ban-ning, was nominated. The minority report was Btiflly conservative and adamantine on the money question. The former was finally adopted with uorne modification. The first resolu tion denounces frauds and crimes by which an election of president and vice president was reversed. The aecond concratulates the country that President Hayes found it necessary to adopt the democratic policy of local self government and to abandon devices for perpetuating sectional jealousy and hatred. The third accuses the republican patty of acting in the interest of capital against labor, by making the public debt, which was promised in legal tenders, payable in coin; arraigns it for demonetizing! silver, for passing the resumption act, j for raising, expending and wasting enormous revenues, and for adopting a high protecting tariff. Tha lourtb censures republicans for keeping in congress men notoriously in favor of high tarifla. Toe fifth declares gold and silver theonly constitutional legal tender, and that resumption should come as booo as business matters of the country would permit; that the demonetization of eilver was a Blep backward and the Bilver dollar of the commercial value should be restored. The' following nominations were made:' Governor, William Banning; lieutenant governor, L. L. Ames; attorney general, John R. Jones: secretary of sUta, P. T. Lindholcr, I treasurer, John T. Meagher ( railroad commissioner, H. W. Hill. 1 |
