the apathy manifest in st. Paul and Ram
seY county, not only with reference to the
congressional campaign, but also as to
the candidates upon the Legislative and
county ticket,an urged that there must be
an awakening OR defeat would be ell
countered.
Mr.. George W. Walsh followed IL sim
liar strain but it was not too late in
his opinion Ito apply the remedy.
That remedy was for Democrats, especial
ly the younger men of the party, to take
OFF their coats and go to work. So far
there has apparently been no concentra-
tlon of purpose in the Democratic can
vass, but the nominees of the party seem
to be making the fight on the go as you
please style. This would not do. With
unity of action and determination Of pur-
pose, +befe was nc question as to the cleo
ton OF every nominee of the Democrats
for the Legislature and upon the county
ticket. and rousing majority for DIR.

thought Mr.. Walsh did not understand what
was being done. The committee.had already
arranged for seeing to the registration,
and for a good working force at every
polling place on this day of election. The
committee desired the election Of the en-
tire ticket, and were honestly working to
that end
GEN. Z. g. BRAGG.
At this point President Willis announced
that arrangements had been partially COM
pleted for e good mass meeting under the
auspices of the club, Saturday evening
next, to be addressed by Gen. e. S. Bragg,
one Of the famous commanders of the
cola Iron Brigade and. present member
of congress from the Fon du Lac district,
Wisconsin, Hon. Ignatious DonneIly, Dr..
A. A. Amos, the next congressman from
this district, and others. Mr.. Willis closed
his announcement by nominating Hon. II.
H. Sibley for chairman OF the meeting
which motion was unanimously adopted.
CONGRESSMAN AHEEs.
DR.. Ames, the nominee for congress and
in whose behalf the club was organized,
being present, was then called out, and in
response said that while on tour of in
spection Of the district he had
received a note of warning that all was
not going well in Ramsey county. In
answer he had abandoned an engagement
for the evening at Pine City, and had
spent the day among the Democrats of st.
Paul. The result of his observations
were by no means as discour-
aging as remarks of members of the club
would seem to indicate. The only danger
to be apprehended was from over conf
dence. When nominated I was told if I
would take care of Hennepin county ,Ramsy
county would be all right. I and my
friends have taken care of Hennepin
county, and if the election was held to-day
there is no question of my carrying the
county. And we do not propose to lose
our vantage ground. This coming week
we have arranged meetings for
every evening in the city of
Minneapolis, and meetings will also
be held every evening of the
week in the different towns. In addition
Hon. I. Donnelly and myself, and local
speakers, will be at Waverly, Wright
county, Monday evening; at Anoka, Tues
day evening; Pine City, Wednesday even
ing; Saltwater, Thursday evening; Mime
apolis, Friday evening, where we will be
joined by Gen. E. S. Bragg, gallant ex-
soldier, and a true and undaunted expo
nent of Democratic principles in congress.
and on Saturday evening we will join with
the Central Ames club at st. Paul in a gen.
eral jubilee. In conclusion DR.. Ames said
the result of his observations and reports
received by the centarl committee were of
the most cheering character and he was
also satisfied the situation in st. Paul and
Ramsey county was much better than
members of the club thought it. His only
advise was to organize and work
for the whole ticket. He had Washburn
downed already, and he proposed to keep
him down and bury him On the 9Th of No
yember, and he had faith that Ramsey
county would do its full duty in accom-
plishing this result.
MR.. C. H. LIENAU
thought Mr.. Walsh and other local speak
erS nao PaInteu LILO picture OF
apathy IN too dark colors.
There had been so far no at
tempt to excite any great enthusiasm, but
the work of preparation had been careful
ly attended to, and the people know that
Washburn is an enemy to the city and its
interests, and they Will SO record thier votes
ton election day.
Capt Jacob Heck. il few words. urged
the necessity of attending to the registra
ion.
