made for speech from Hon. NJ. j. Severance,
of Mankato, whose appearance in the hall lew
minutes before evoked the heartiest en1husi-
asm from the vast assemblage. Mr.. Sever
ance proceeded to deliver one of his forci5le
speeches which the lateness of the hour pre-
vents our attempting to report this morning.
GEN. sIBLEY.
Gen. Sibley was introduced as citizen
known to all the inhabitants of the State.
He was received with deatening cheers.
In commencing Gen. Siblsy said that ten
years ago he had had the pleasure of address
ing Minneapolis audience. At that time he
had predicted that the time would come when
the municipalities of st. Paul and Minneapolis
W would half constitute million Sns gE1at nbabtaets osy
The logic of events showed that while the
audience might not live to Sc it, the time would
come for the consumation of the prediction.
While the speaker was not opposed to anything
that would advance the interests of Minneapo-
lis, or the State; he relied always on the integ
rity of purpose of the Democratic party. Gen.
Sibley then briefly and forciblY reviewed
the triumphs of the Democratic party.
There never had been party that advanced
the national Interests of the county so much
as the Democratic party. All the great ac-
quisitions had been made under Democratic
administrations. 1t was the policy of the
party that had annexed Alaska. and made ouh-
er important acquisitions. Each party was
now striving for supremacy in the country.a
The Democratic party had nominated as
their choice for President Winfield Scott Han
cOce. (Appiause.) The speaker had known
him personally for many years; had known
him as a patriot soldier citizen, and oped he
would be elected; (applause.) The speaker
then adverted with becoming modesty to his
own election. The speaker had nothing dis
paraging to say shout Washburn. "a voice,
he must go.)
1t remained for him to say that if sent to
Congress he would not advocate anything in
Imical to the best interests of the State and
party. Each voter knew whether he would
prefer to vote for man that advocated his in
terests and policy or support ticket that op-
posed them. In conclusion he predicted the
election of Gen. Hancock and modestly allud-
ed to the possibility of representing Minnesota
in Congress himself. The speech was greeted
with applause and three Tousing cheers.
p. H. KELLY, ESQ.
Mr.. Kelly was called for, and he was the re-
cipient Of an ovation Of applause. He said:
Fellow citizens and fellow Democrats: After
an absence of twenty years, L appear to night
to express my gratitude at this spontaneous
reception. l appear as an exponent of the
Democracy, to assure you that there has not
been dollar levied to help the Democratic
committee at New York.
In Chicago, a gentleman had told the speak
er that the Republicans had contributed
$500, 600 to help Indiana aud the campaign;
at Pittsburgh he was told that 100000 had
been contributed, and at New York $250,000
had been given to help the Republicans in
rying forward the campaign. The speaker
would affirm that the Republicans had inau-
gurated g campaign of corruption, malice and
vindictiveness.
The speaker said the campaign wa5 war be-
tween capital and honest labor, between muscle
and money. Prosperity did not come from
men like the leaders of the Republican party,
but from the muscle and sinew of the Demo-
cratic party. The speaker would say, not in
a spirit of egotism, that within the last twelve
years he had given the sum of $7S,0G0 to his
employees over and above their salaries,
He intended that his associates should share
with him the fruits of their industry. In
speaking of the tariff the speaker referred to
the name of Horatio Seymour, mention of whom
elicted a magnificent burst of applause. A
high culogy was paid to the character of Gen.
Hancock and Gen. Sibley and the address was
closed amid immense enthusiasm and ap-
plause.
z. NJ. WILSON.
Hon. E. Nj. Wilson was then introduce and
responded with an eloquent address on the
issues of the day. In commencing his remarks
he said does't Maine balance Indiana, and
does not Gen. Hancock lead the gallant and
invincible choir, who know no defeat, and
victory must crown their efforts.
(Uprorious applause) Are you
going to beat a man for President who
shed his blood and dared the fire of Gettys-
burg; or will you take a man who won his
title by political preferment and SUNK away
from the front to go to Congress? (Applause).
Mr.. Kelly had said that the Republicans
claimed credit for the prosperity of the
country: but was it not SO that the boasted
prosperity did not come until the country had
democratic lower house and Democratic
Senate?
The warm rays and auspicious influence of
Gods sunlight had resulted in bopntiful
harvests, and 10 the Republican moguls
straightway laid all the honor on their own
management. (Cheers and boots of derision.
The speaker then eloquently alluded to the
issues to 0e tested at the ensuing election, and
closed amid deafening applause.
HON. ALBERT sCHEFFER.
While the meeting was in progress at Market hall,
Mr. Albert Scheffer, of st. Paul, addressed large
audience on the square. He made stirring and
patriotic speech, and his address responded TO
by the vast assembage with shouts of applause.
