ANOTHER RALLY
THE CENTRAL INES CLUB HOLDS IN
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
Judge Scagrave Smith, Ed. A. stevens. A:
7. AnkeAy and Others Speak,

The meeting of the Central Ames club
was large and enthusiastic gathering.
Ed. A. Stevens made short and pungent
address.
Hon. Seagrave Smith made an eloquent
and effective address. He had not taken
an active part in politics for a number of
years until the present campaign. Ohio
had spoken, Pennsylvania is awake, New
York is certain of Democratic majorities,,
and it is said that Gen. Butler will carry
Massachusetts. Applause. Never before
has there been such a general uprising of
the Democratic elements III Minnesota. In
this district they are all awake. Mr.. Smith
made comparison of the two COMPRESSION
al candidates. General Washburn in
his reply to DR.. Ames' challenge had stated
that he would stand upon the record of
the Republican party for the past
twenty years. He would be obliged to
stand by all the records of thieving an
crookedness of the party. Mr.. Smith
would not go back twenty years to arraign
Washburn upon the record Of the Repub-
ican party. He~ would go back to the
close of the war. He charged upon the
Republican party, and hence w. D.
Washburn, the total destruction
of the navy of the United States. At one
time the stars and stripes Hoated upon ev-
cry watery highway. But Low we have no
navy. Our shipping commerce is done
by foreign governments, because we have
no ships with which to do it. This por-
ton of the record upon which this man
Washburn stands. 1t is the outcome OF
the high tariff. The speaker also
charged upon the Republican party
the building up OF landed aristocracy in
this Northwest which. were it not for the
broader expanse, would prove as destruc-
tive to the common people
as the landed aristocracy
of Ireland. He charged upon the Repub-
lican party with seating Hayes III the pres
identiai chair, when S. J. T1lden had been
honestly elected. IApplausel He spoke
at length upon the assessing of Office
holders by the Jay Hubbel scheme;
the star route was severely handled.
Ee charged the Republican party with Sc
curing or carrying elections by the use of
money, and Washburn stands squarely up
on that part of the record, and is now en-
deavoring to buy back his seat in con-
gress.
The speaker brought up the tariff ques-
ton, and showed that every article which
the laboring man wears, and most
things he eats costs him from so to so per
cent. more than it would without the tariff.
In speaking Of the abolition OF taxation
upon the incomes of wealthy men, he said
the Republican party, true to its record
and policy, has taken the load from Off the
shoulders OF the wealthy men and placed
it upon those of the poor men.
The Republican party take upon them
selves the credit for the present pros perity
Of the country. Did the Republican party
bring about this prosperity: Not at all.
1t was the sunlight, the rain, the fertile
soil, and the industry OF our thrifty
farmers which brought it about. All our
riches come from our soil. Mr.. Smith ad-
vocated purifying politics. You have two
things to decide in your mind. Will you
vote for man who viii control you through
his wealth, or an honest poor man, who
will go to congress to attend to the inter-
ests of his constituents, because he has
no great interests of his own to
attend to, as has his opponent.
Mr.. Smith had known Dr.. Ames for q long
term of years. He had known him in all
positions. He was the friend of the poor
and rich alike, in the hour of sickness and
want and sorrow.
He had seen him as a representative in
the state legislature. a mere youth. an
honest and capable member. He saw him
shoulder his musket and go to the battle
fields of the South,when his country called
him, while his present opponent ran

| A. T. ANxENY, Esq.
Was the next speaker. He spoke
IL general terms upon the brilliant
prospects of the Democratic party
throughout the country. He spoke of the
coming contest in our state legislature in
electing an United States senator. He
spoke of the oppositions which Window
was certain of running against and which
were quite sure of causing him to stumble.
Mr.. Ankeny was Of the opinion
that dark horse'' would get the election,
and he would not be much surprised if
that dark horse should prove none other
than our Hon. Eugene M. Wilson. The
''record of the Republican party" was next
treated. He was confident that DR.. Ames
can and will be elected, and called upon
his hearers to stand firm.
| WEED MONEOE, ESQ.,,
made very pleasing and
eloquent speech. He had been much
pleased at certain speech of one Jay
Hubbell. in which Hubbell compares the
wages of England with the wages of this
country. The present prosperity of the
country is due, not to the thieving rule of
the Republican party, but by the smile of
providence and the bone and sinew of
the hard-fsted yeomanry-the thrift and
industry of the farmer. In speaking of
Jay Hubbells theory of wages, Mr.. Munro
spoke earnestly and logically. He stated
that like produce or any article of COM
mon demand, the price of labor was con-
trolled by the supply and the relative de-
mands. The secret of the low
