crat, paid US visit. On the same evening,
the German Democrats of Chaska and
vicinity turned out en- n,asse to hear Hon. F.
BAAsEN.
Mr.. GRAHAM gave his audience the histo.
ry of Democracy from the foundation of the
Republic, and ably discussed every issue,
both State and National, now before the
people. He reviewed the history of the
opposition to the Democratic party and

entire address, and even his opponents did
him the honor to say that CHRIS. GRAHAM
is high.minded, honorable, fearless man,
and true patriot.

Homestead bill, and showed that it was un-
worthy of confidence, and pledged himself,
if elected, to introduce into Congress a
Homestead bill universal in its application
to our unappropriated public Lands.
The enthusiasm was Observation-Disclosures

cheered and applauded. A knot of Repub-
licans, after adjournment, on word being
given by the leader here, gave " three cheers
for Chris. Graham as man." Onward
