A RoBBING RING.
Well, my friends, do you wish it to go abroad
IN Minnesota and throughout the world that
this grand and beautiful city of yours was
made for robbing ring? You have here or
your broad and beautiful streets and avenues
wholesale houses, retail houses, manu-.
factories of every kind and charac-
ter. You have lumber mills and planning
mills and wooden mills. Do you wish it I'M
derstood that all these great and useful indus
tries should bow the knee to gigantic, soul
less, selfish ring of unprincipled men who have
banded together to enrich themselves at the
expense Of all the others. More cheers and
! more Kisses.
THE SHINY ANACONDA.
No, think not, and you will all Of you think
with me when you once realize that this shiny
anaconda is slowly encircling and crushing
your very life out and you powerless to resist.
When its fangs are ready to hunt down into
your life body and soul, then be ready-too
late to fight off the monster which is killing
you. (Cheers followed by hisscs.) No report
can give any adequate idea of
the squiriming and writhing OF the Wash
burn gang Of hired cliquers at this time and
still the stolid little orator stood before them
and dashed them down with his inimitable wit
and sarcasm aud cloquence.
BILL KING, OF CANADA.
Washburn himself was not present, but di-
rectly in front, and little to the left of the
platform, sat the celebrated William King, of
Canada, who all this time seemed to be enjoy
ing himself hugely. How he did delight to
see his ancient enemy scored. He laughed
heartily and shook his head in perfect glee at
the apt stories and pertinent illustrations but
there was trouble ahead for William which he
did not dream of.
| PERSONAL SKETCH OF WAsHBURN.
MIR. Donnelly, after finishing the wheat ring,
took up Mr.. Washburn personally. He gave
little running account of William d. coming to
Minnesota twenty-five years ago, STRIPPING
fresh from college, who, to make himself use
full was sent out West by his big brothers, to
look after their Minneapolis water power. He
reviewed his history, told how he got letters of
recommendation, and in 1861 went down to
Washington, and through the influence of his
brothers stole the surveyor generalship from
the Hon. John w. North, and other old and
prominent Republicans.
HOW He GREW TO DE MILLIONAIRE.
| This review was made to show how w. D. had
grown to be millionaire before he was thirty
years of age, and how under his surveyor gen.
eral reign the Pine Land Ring was formed.
BILL KING.
Then came the episode of the evening and
the disgraceful effort of the Washburn claquers
to break up the meeting. It happened in this
wise: Mr.. Donnelly began to speak of the Gus
tom of the Republican party in Minnesota to
give the reputable members of Congress
from all districts a nomination for
| second term. ''Never in single
instance" said he, Except with DR.. Stewart of
St. Paul, has this rule been violated. Well,
yes, there has been one other instance, if my
memory serves me, when my friend Bill King,
of this city, had business over in Canada to
view the fine blooded bulls which the interests
OF his constituents
THE PIONEER PRESS DIscLAIMs.
At this point Col. VIM. s. King, editor Of the
Pioneer Press, arose from his prominent seat
in the hall, trembling with rage, and said:
MIR. Donnelly, I protest against this thing.
You have no right sir, to assail my private
character before these people,
Cheers and a tumult among the Washburn
hired cliques. Mr.. Donnelly calmly folded
his arms before him and awaited for the tumult
to The cheering and demoniac bowling
continued for two or three minutes, while Mr..
Donnely calmly faced the excited multitude
and smilingly awaited an opportunity to put
in his oar. More than half the immense audi
ence had risen, aud the scene was a perfect
pandamonium. When order was partially re-
stored Col. Kiag again spoke with passionate
earnestness
own home"
PANDEMoNIUM.
Again the Washburn cliques commenced en-
couraging and eggng on their champion.
Cries of 'Down Donnelly," "Put him out"
Take the PLATFORM" "Give it to him, Bill"
''Go for him, Donnelly,' Don't let up on him,
Donnely," PUT him OUT" "Police," and
thousand and one other cries and cat-calls,
mingled with shouts and Kisses and cheers.
Again was quiet almost restored, when
Dir. Donnelly assayed to speak, and again the
crowd set up their yells and cat calls as if de.
termined to break the meeting up in row.
Again was order partially restored when
King broke forth: sIf you dare to speak my
name again before this audience will give
your record in Congress from the mark"
Mr.. Donnelly smiled calmly while the crowd
surged about the platform and through the hall
like mad men.
THE MAN TRIUMPas.
Unfolding his arms from his breast, and
holding up one hand Mr.. Donnelly mutely
called for hearing. In moment silence
reigned. II am astonished,' said he, s.that nv
friend COL King should be so modest now.
(Laughter.) His threat of exposing my Con-
gressional record has no terrors for me- (Cheers.
Years ago he vomited all the bile in his vile
somach over me. daughter and cheers.) All
bad to do was to bury my clothes. daughter
renewed again and again.)
King-"I insist that shall not be insulted
in my own town and among m own friends -
| (Howls and cat calls.
Again was pandemonium let loose. At this
point it seemed that Mr.. Donnelly would be
compelled to leave the platform, but he stood
calm as a summer morning and smiled down
upon the tnmnltuous mob as though he rather
enjoyed the situation. Quiet was again restored
and Mr.. Donnelly resumed.
COMPLETING THE SHINING.
Col. King must not be SO modest of his many
