was the chairman of the meeting. He
made happy speech upon taking the
chair. After few preliminary remarks
he arraigned the editors of the Washburn
organs IN Minnea polis.One was branded as
thief-Grundy county-and the corrup-
tions of each of the other two were given
full attention. The crooked land specula-
tions of the one was painted graphically.
The Pacific mail frauds were also turned
over. The immortality of another was re-
ferred to. He closed by stating that it was
by such men as these that his
personal character had been assailed It
was these swindlers and outlaws who had
undertaken to viilify him throughout the
recent campaign. The mayor, however,

toned no names, although all knew whom
he referred to when he said that one
of them now had an indict-
ment hanging over his head.
DAVID 3. JOHNSON
was the next speaker. He referred humor-
ously to his candidacy in the Twenty
eighth district. He had supposed his fell
low citizens knew him, but he had learned
that il WAS all a mistake. Many refused
to vote for him because his name was
Johnson, thinking he was q Scan
diaavian. The Scandinavians refused
to vote for him because his name was
Johnson, thinking he was an lrishman.
He referred next to the victories OF the
Democratic party il the east. He said
the Republican party had been buried be-
yond recognition. Applause He spoke
of the Prohibitionists as also be-
ing overthrown beyond hope of recovery.
Bossism and fanaticism was no more.
Cleveland has 100000 majority in the
state of New York, and they have not fin
ished counting yet. The over throw of the
Republican party was occasioned by the
fact that select few controlled
the party. 1t was no choice OF
the peop e. The thing was entirely
"fxed'' before caucus was held. Every
one who was a candidate was selected by
the bosses of the party-Cameron in
Pennsylvania and Conkling in New York,
who had taken hold of the reins of the
government with determination to run
the machine. Returning to the
Minneapolis election he explained
that he was fully in
pressed with the fact that Prohibitionists
had much to do with his defeat. The Il. z.
had asserted him as an attorney forEastern
liquor dealers. He did not wish to deny
that allegation. He had received during
the campaign a letter from one Bilbee,
of Anoka, asking him whether
he was temperance man and whether he
would labor for the submission of pro-
hibitory amendment. He was the only
candidate in the district who had respond
ed. He replied by return mail, stating
that he was a temperance man. He alb
horred drunkenness, but could not
nor would he if elected to the state
legislature labor for the submission of
their proposed question to the people, be-

He verify believed that had it not been for
his quarrel with Conkling that he would
have still been alive.
Minneapolis politics were again brought
up, to illustrate the machine politics of
the Republican party. Just so sure
as Gilfillan is proposed for
Office certain East side Republican,
whose initials are Capt. Martin, starts for
Anoka and Isanti counties, and his track
can be smelled mile away. He boasts
that he carries the Swede vote in his
pocket, and the speaker believed he was
about correct. This has been the worst
'bulldozed" district in the country. The
speaker only wished he had the

was the honest sentiment
of the people that DR..
Ames should represent them in congress,
but Washburn with his barrel and his hire
lings, produced. theunpappy results. The
people are now determined to return to
the good old times of 1S41 when the peo-
pie controlled the national affairs. Then
we had pure government. If any one
was found guilty to subscribing to a
campaign fund it was considered sufficient
for his removal from Office, but in 1882 the
results were reversed, so that if an office
holder did not contribute he was peremp
torily dismissedfrom Office.
Let us all hope that this government of
which we are all so proud may endure for
ever. May the flag of our country of
which we are all so proud, float forever
over free country ''with its white of
peace, its blue If heaven; and its red of
undying glory"
