hated Mr.. Washburn, although he some
times wondered that God in his in
finite wisdom made some things, but he
(the speaker) shrugged his shoulders and
said what God has made ought to stand.
Cheers. I support Dr.. Ames and I pray
God that you will all support him at the
polls tomorrow applause
BECAUSE OF KIs NOBLENEss,
his generosity and his true manhood. I
have been through the district with DR..
Ames. Everywhere we were met by stran-
gers. One man came up to DR.. Ames and
said. doctor, don't you know me? Why,
I was injured in railroad accident, and l
came to your hospital, and you cared for
me three weeks, and you didn't charge me
a cent" 1t is such acts
as these that have given
to him his popularity. It is worth many
times more than William D. Washburn's
S6.o00.000. Mr.. Donnelly took his seat
amid enthusiastic cheers, and the band
struck up an eiivening air, which was fol-
lowed by tue campaign song recently pub
lished in the GLOBE, care you fixed, Mr..
William D.!'' which was SO heartily ap-
plauded as to demand repetition.
The chairman, Hon. Eugene NJ. Wilson.
then introduced, as the next member of
congress from this district, the
HON. A. A. AENS.
who made a characteristic and powerful
address. He explained that ddrin, his ah-
sence through the district, WashburC's
papers had accused him of boastin5 that
he controlled the entire dinner pail brgi-
ade.' II wish to say that ] make 10
boasts.as all who know me are fully aware.
I only said what I will now reit-
crate, that in politics 1 am
only what my friends have made
me, and the dinner pail brigade has done
me the most honor" The mayor referred
frequently to the pine land sale bill intro
duced by Washburn, stating that the Jour
nal had accused the speaker of lying. The
mayor again produced the printed bill, ,and
showed that in turn the Journal lied about
the sale of the Minneapolis d st. Louis
railway, and read a letter written by Wash
burn, in which he stated that he should not
consent to the sale of the railroad, because
it would be violation of the contract in
which he had entered with
the city of Minneapolis and through
which he had received quarter of mil
lion of dollars with the promise that it
should always be owned by Minneapolis
parties.
Ed. A. Stevens begged permission to in
terrupt the speaker and asked that the
hon. W. W. M'NAIR,
who had read the statement published in
the GLOBE, which was his (Steven's) speech
relative to the Minneapolis & st.
branded by Washburn as lie,
xvoul6 rto,, IN tho foofI;nh%S opl avnloi,,
whether or not there was a word which
was not true. Mr.. McNair stepped for
ward and said he was a stockholder at the
time of the sale and still was stockholder,
and consequently perfectly familiar with
all its transactions; he had read the speech,
that there was not an untrue thing in the
exposure, and that there was further and
important matter in the transfer, and that
was that an explicit understanding had ex-
listed between all the stockholders
that no sale should occur with
out first giving Minneapolis capi-
talists an opportunity of purchasing.
Mayor Ames tconcluded his address, elic-
iting applause at frequent intervals. II
promise you. gentlemen, if I am elected,
the Washburn
RED LAKE PINE LAND STEAL
WILL AOtOl ~ uhiouSH, hOA WILL BIO ltOAc-
stead act be repealed" He explained that
number of Democrats had come ac-
cidently across little army of railroad
men who have Langdon's and Washburn's
brand upon them, who have only been in
Minneapolis three days. If those men
undertake to vote. they will go to the sta
| tion house. And further assure you that
if any one of my hearers will inform me
of an illegal vote being cast, no matter for
whom it is cast, will see that the man
who deposited it is speedily placed under
arrest" He branded the assault of Wash
burn upon E.. E..McDermott as beneath the
dignity of any man who. pretends to
be member of congress. He
closed by stating that he expected
to hear from his friends to-day. Refer
ing to the accusations made by Washburn's
papers that Madame Dnnn had been
asked for contribution to the support of
A. A. Ames' campaign, he saidl II wish to
denounce the writer, George X. Shaw, of
the Journal. A. G. Jordan, of the Tribune,
and David Blakely, of the P. F., as COW
ardly knaves.'' Ed. A. Stevens here read
the affidavit of Mrs. Dunn, i'll which she
denied ever being approached upon the
subject of contributing to any campaign
| fund.
After number of other short and spir-
tied addresses, the meeting closed with
three rousing cheers for DR.. Ames.
