To the Editor of the Globe.
The two frat imported guns for Garfield,
were fred last evening at the Academy of Mu-
sici It had been advertised for several days
that Prof. Morey, and the Hon. Thomas
Beecher Simpson. of Winona, would speak in
Mankato Tuesday evening, and it was generally
understo I'd that they were the advance guard
of tho Dunnell legion, who were expected to
make it lively for the Varieties, but il the
Hon. M. FL. has no better pair to draw to
than these two worthless, he may as well Com
mence hauling sand at once, for no converts
can be brought to the communion table from
their preaching. The exercises of the evening
commenced at Is minutes before g. by the in
PRODUCTION of the first speaker, Prof Morey, by
the Hon. O. o. Pitcher. The professors q man
of somewhat prepossessing appearance, of
some thirty or thirty-fve years of age, who
seemed to be entirely out of bis natural sphere,
and not having his little say 80 thoroughly
committed to memory, would occasionally put
one in mind of q little school boy at recitation,
who in order to catch an idea usually bites it
off from the ends of his fingers. When he
commenced speaking there were just sixty-fve
persons in the house by actual count, five of
whom were ladies' i've small boys In the
gallery, the two speakers. the presiding officer,
and about one.third of the remainder were
Democrats.
What MIR. Morey happens to be professor
of, we were not informed but from his speech,
he convinced everyone that he was not pro.
fessor of political ethics.
He started out by informing his audience
that he came not an attorney to plead
case, but as q Republican to talk to Republic
cans and to tell them once in four years the
constitution provided that the American people
should elect President of the United States
and that this country was settled ut q very
early day by two sets of human beings. One set
settled on the Southern coast, and the other
settled on Plymoth Rock, somewhere in Massa-
chusetts. ---..
The Plymouth Rock felIers were the superior
of the two. After q little while they had some
difficulties with their mother, Great Britain,
and Thomas Jefferson wrote letter telling
them that they were free. This all happened
in 1776. These fellers then set mp in business
by themselves; there were thirteen of them.
taxes, 30 Aleck Hamilto on wrote
constitution for them. but it
didn't do no good. John @. Calhoun got mad
and said he wouldn't pay his taxes, nohow; but
Andy jackson put head on him. SO he paid
his taxes. Then the Plymouth Rock fellers
drew q chalk line through Missouri and said to
the Southern fellers, You can toe the mark,

you do we'll bust you." Then the Southern
fellers bought Texas and paid eleven millions
of dollars of our dads for her, 80 that they
could have more pasture land for their mig
gers. It kept agoing on like this al the time
till the war. can't tell you any more of this
little story, ladies and gentlemen, for I am
only the preface. You know that every author
who writes book has preface. 1t doesn't
amount to much. Is not often read. 1t only
tells what the book is. Now, ladies and gen.
tlemen, I have the honor to introduce to you
THE BooK,-THE HON. TOM BEEoHER SIMPSON.
Ye gods and little fishes! What book! Mr..
Editor, did you ever see the Hon. Tom Simp-
son of Winona. the advance guard of the other
honorable, the Hon. Mark 81. Dunnell? Yes,
certainly you have seen him? We all saw
him in our boyhood days. I remember well
the first time that saw him. It was in pic
ture book. He had bowl of soapsuds in
front of him, an old earthen tobacco ipe In
his mouth trying to blow soap bubbles. My
first impression was, what funny looking
fellow, with his cheeks spread all over his
face
The Hon. Tom, advancing to the front of the
stage, smiled easily, sicklv smile, and looked
little as though he had oeen in the sheep
business. After becOmin omewhat composed
he addressed the immenf audience before him
thusly las near as &c recoilect): Ladies'
and gentlemen-and there are any Demo-
Gratis present they included: If you had
read the preface the book you would have
learned that the ook had an interlude. Po-
litical speecher ont usually have an interlude,
but I am b. (, and books have lnterludes;

pressio- If spirits. ] came to your beautiful
city T. . forenoon and was soon after served with
Mai ; rooster for dinner, which being 30
tc .gh that it somewhat impaired my digestion

metaphors, fables, biblical parallels, etc., etc.
This afternoon l stepped into tonsorial estab-
lishment preparing myself for this occasion,
when, the first thing on entering, very gen.
tlemanly looking Individual very impairment
lv asked me if had seen the latest, illustrated
and thereupon thrust under my clOuded vision
a newspaper giving perfect view of the orni-
theological department of the st. Paul GLOBE.
Oh, how I suffered. l knew all about the
Maine ROSTERS; l had dined on them. They
had left their impression upon me, and more
than ever my mind reverted to certain BIBLICAL
parallels, especially the parable of Lazarus.
In my delirium thought was the Republi-
can party and my name was Lazarus and that
had been licked by the dogs way down in
Maine. Qmmense applause from five OF six
Republicans.)
This campaign, I am happy to say, will be
conducted on q different basis than previous
campaigns have BEEN There will be no per-
sonalities or mud throwing; this is to be done
away with. will now read q letter, (reads
from manuscript 81 do not say that all
Democrats are horse thieves robbers, swindlers
black-legs. gamblers, and drunkards, but do
say that all horse thieves. robbers swindlers,
black legs, gamblers, and drunkards, are Demo
crafts" I don't say this. A great man said
this. Horace Greeley. Yeu Democrats
voted for him, and you by your votes
endorsed what he said. am glad there is to
be no mud throwing, for when man throws
mud you can always judge of his mental cal
ibre. It don't take much brains to throw a
good deal of mud. Why didn't You Demo
Gratis nominate Sam. Tilden7 You claim that
he was defrauded out of the Office four years
ago. Why didn't you renominate hima He is the
ablest man in your party. There is not in the
United States q man of his abilities. Immense
cheers, stamping of the feet and slapping of
hands, by about one.third of the audience,)
