and Others.
The Central Ames club held business
meeting at the new court house last even
ing. with only very small attendance. In
calling the assemblage to order President
Willis regretted the small attendance and
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.and urged tina: there must be
an awakening or defeat would be en-
countered.
Mr.. George W. Walsh followed in sim
ilar strain but it was not TOO late in
mis- opinion Ito apply the remedy.
That remedy was for Democrats. especial
~ the younger men of the party, to take
off their coats and 60 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 60 as you
please style. This would not do. With
unity of action and determination of pur-
pose, there was no question as to the cleo
ton of every nominee of tie Democrats
foc the legislature and upon the county
ticket, and rousing majority for DR..
Anes. the standard bearer of the party in
the fight for congress.

thought Mr.. Walsh did not understand what
was being done. The committeeman 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 homes tly working to
that end.
GEN. E. s. BRAGG.
at this point President Willis announced
that arrangements had been partially COM
pleted for 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 tho
"Old Iron Brigade and present member
OF congress from the Fon du Lac district,
Wisconsin, Hon. Ignatious Donnelly, Dr..
4. A. Ames, the next congressman from
this district, and others. Mr.. Willis closed
his announcement by nominating Hon. II.
II. Sibley for chairman of the meeting
which motion was unanimously adopted.
CONGRESSMAN AMEs.
D.. Anes, the nominee for congress and
in whose behalf the club was organized,
response said that while on tour of IL
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 IS 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 YVES told if I
would take care of Hennepin coznty, 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 ievening Ein 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
Gay evening; Pine City. Wednesday even
ing; Saltwater, Thursday evening; Mime
apciis, Friday evening, where we will be
jeined by Gen. E. S. Bragg, gallant ex-
soldier, and true and undaunted expo
nent of Democratic principles in congress,
and on Saturday evening we will all Join
with the Central Ames club at st. Paul in
general jubilee. In conclusion DR.. Ames
said the result Of his observations and re-
ports received by the central 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 advice 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 18th
Of November, and he had faith that Ramsey
county would do its full duty in accour-
piishing this result.
MR. c. q. LIENAu
thought Mr.. Walsh and other local speak
ers had painted the 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 recordItheir votes
on election day.
Capt. Jacob Heck, in a few words, urged
the necessity of attending to the registrs-
ton.
WORKING COMMITTEES.
On motion the president appointed the
following committees of three from each
ward to select working force of fifteen
70: each precinct on election day, the COM
mittees TO report at an adjourned
meeting to be held al the old coart house
Monday evening.
