ANOTHER VOLLEY
OF HOT SHOT POURED INTO THE
WASHBURN CAMP,

BY the Speakers and the Meeting of tn
South Minneapolis Ames Club Las
Night.
The meeting of the South Minneapoli
Ames Climb was largely attended last night
filling Peterson's large hall.
Brooks brigade band discoursed severa
| selections of music when
D. B. JOHNSON
was introduced amid storms of applause
Mr.. johnson gave one of his eloquent ad
dresses, and was frequently applauded by
the audience as he proceeded. He had
much to say respecting the corruptionists
who belonged to the Republican party and
who feed from the public manger for a
great many administrations. Mr.. John
son closed his address with the statement
that the German vote which had been in
the past almost generally Republican,
could now pretty reliably be count
ed upon as solid fer sound old
Jacksonian Democracy. The speak
er at this point gave very clearly
and concisely his reason for the conclu-
sions.
The Germans are wholesouled, free
hearted, generous people, who believe in
aud admire personal liberty, but the
Republican party, or rather every one of
the Republican candidates in Hennepin
county, save one, had pledged themselves
to support and labor for measure looking
towards submitting to the people a con
stitutional amendment which should de
prive these people of their rights, which
a beverage.
At the close of Mr.. Johnson's address,
after the band had played selection.
President Matthew Walsh intro
duced one who has, since
his abode in Minneapolis, been recogniz-
ed and staunch and faithful party leader,
HON. EUGENE M. WILSON.
Mr.. Wilson's addresses are always sure
to please, and to elicit enthusiasm, withal.
He predicted that New York would go
Democratic by rousing majority. Re-
ferring to the politics of old Pennsylva-
MIA, the history of the Cameron
ring, its thefts, ETC., were brought out.
Since the old Cameron had gone down a
son, Don Cameron, steps to the helm and
runs things. The Independents of that
state, firing of the one man rule, will poll
a larger vote this fall than will the Cam
eron party. The result is, the Democrats
will win the victory. In Mime
sofa ring rule has been in
vogue. The great boss of Minneapolis,
not on account of his ability, his brains, or
anything of the kind. Oh, no. It is be-
cause he has the biggest barrel in the state
that w. D. Washburn is the head of the
one man rule, or the man who imper-
sonates the Cameron bossism of
Minnesota. Now we have selected as
a man who shall from his popularity, hon
esty, intellectually and.in every manly fit
ness for the position, defeat this bossism
IN the great Fourth congressional district
i'll Minnesota. We did not, as did tho Re-
publicans, select DIR. Ames because of the
money which he would spend to secure his
election, but because he is an honest man.
The speaker spoke of the good old times
when if a candidate for Office should offer
money he would have been hooted out of
the community. The speaker called upon
his hearers to support DR.. Ames, first, in
order to elect a fit man for congress, and
second, for the purpose of securing pur-
ity in politics. Mr.. Washburn's hackers
claim he is the man to send to congress,
because he is worth several millions of
dollars. This is not fitting qualification.
He was not in attendance upon the Wash
burn meeting few evenings ago, but he
had read Washburn's speech as it was pub
ished in the Washburn organs. It is an
amusing effort. In it Washburn glori-
fed Washburn. That seemed to
be the whole object, tone
and tenor of the effort. The
personal pronoun I occurs in every SEN
tence and sometimes several times
in the one sentence. The speaker remem-
bered a letter written by his royal highness
wherein he always placed the big before
any other person was mentioned. With
Washburn no other man should be placed
ahead of Washburn.
The sale of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railway by Washburn was turned over'
metaphorically speaking. DR.. Wilson ex-
planned how Washburn was able within a
few short months to amass millions.
Against this man we have presented a
young man who has grown up in your
midst. A man against whom the
newspapers can not say he has
ever committed dishonest act. As the
head of the administration of this city of
10000 inhabitants, where every bill of
great or small importance must first re-
ceive his signature, how easy it would
have been for him to require his little toll
from the parties in whose interests
the matters were passed, had he
been in the slightest degree dishonest.
But the enemies who are traducing him
dare not accuse him of dishonesty. The
Journal which is working for Washburn's
money-if it didn't get Tit wouldn't work
evidently knowing and approaching Wash
burns ignorance has frequently INDUCED
in a very appropriate and we'll worded
satire upon Washburn. At one time in
speaking of his financial capacity he was
compared with Napoleon and Bismarck
with possibly a little favor towards Wash
burn over Bismarck. Tonight the Journal
again pokes fun at him. 1t quotes
him as having stated on
the floor in the Congressional hall that
there was break in the navigation of the
Mississippi river at the falls of ST. An
thony, another at Sank Rapids and an.
other at another point, and for this the
Journal cried out for his great geographic
cal knowledge of the country as fitting
