AMES CLUB.
The Meeting Of the East Side Club Last
Night addresses oy Geo. Welch, and j.
s. Root.
The East Minneapolis Ames club held a
meeting in Turner hall last evening. The
meeting was called to order by President
NJ. W. Glenn, who made few remarks and
then introduced
GEORGE WALSH.
of st. Paul, who was the first speaker He
was gratiied at seeing so many present,
considering the fact that this is the night
for registration. He would speak a word
of Ramsey county. the banner Democratic
county in the state, and he was fully con-
WINGED that on next Tuesday no
one in the state will have reason to
doubt it. A week ago the Democrats of
Ramsey were inactive. A meeting was
held a few nights since and all that trouble
is now a thing of the past Ramsey coun-
ty has never made the demonstration dur
ing any campaign. not even that of our
most popular citizen Gen. 81. H. Siblys,
that has been made within the past three
days in the city of st. Paul. A week ago
we hadn't a man to work at the polls.
But now there is not a precinct in st. Paul
where there are not thirty active workers.
Besides this there are 500 at large.
Mr.. Walsh spoke of the
many admirable qualities of
Mayor Ames. While he did not believe any
thing in particular could be accomplished
by arraigning WashDurn. yet he would like
to know one good thing which Washburn
has done in congress; one thing which was
in the interest of his constituency. It is
for the people of this district, who are in
telligent citizens, to look at the career of
Washburn in congress, and if they really
believe he has made a creditable record
and should be reelected, these words in
his defamation would GO for naught. It
seemed to the speaker that it was knock
down argument when it is said
Washburn is compelled to
spend his money in order
to secure his election. w. D. Washburn,
there is no doubt, will spend $4,000 for
his election to an Office which pays only
$4,000. 1t doesn't seem very probable that
he expects to expend cent without get
ting it back with interest, and that money
must come from the people. They will be
obliged to pay the principal and twenty
five per cent interest.
recently of Iowa, a lifelong De mocrat,
followed in en- excellent address. He was
a stranger in Minneapolis. During the
past week he had attended two of the Re-
publican meetings. He heard w.
D. Washburns speech, which he
considered very fallacious and untrue.
Washburn stated that for the past twenty
years the financial matters of the country
had been in the control of the Republican
party. The speaker then proceeded to
how that the Republican party had lost
control of the senate in 1S76,and CONTINUED
to lose until the present time.
The Republicans claim the credit of the
resumption. But that act was accom-
plished while the Democrats had control
of the senate and the secretary of the
treasury was obliged to do as directed by
the senate. The Republicans are re-
sponsible for the crash of 1873,
while the Democrats are responsible for
the present prosperity.
The Republicans claimed all the credit
for the many millions of wheat raised in
this Countrywide increase in the amount
during the past few years. This
the speaker branded as another ridiculous
fallacy. How could it have pos
slqlv been the work of the Re-
publican part, when the Republican
parry has not been in power since 1875.
exceptssin having Hays sitting in the pres
idential chair. No, gentlemen, it is not
to the credit of either party that the great
farms have produced this wheat. 1t is to
the credit of Industrious hardy husbandry
Mr.. Root had heard speakers at a Republi-
can meeting assert that there were good
men in both parties, but in the Republican
party all the good men come to the
front and manage the affairs
of the party. Now, if this be true, what
can be said of the rest of the party. These
Republicans who manage the affairs of the
party are Dorsey, Hubbell, and many 9TH
ers of this stripe. The speaker thought
Washburn would conclude on Tuesday
night that the note sounded by Ohio was
not that of the swallow. but of the Ameri-
can eagle. It will soon be heard from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Mr.. Root closed by calling upon the
Democrats of Minneapolis, one of whom
he had but recently become. to close
up their ranks and vote solidly for he cleo
ton of Mayor A. A. Ames to congress and
for the entire county and legislative ticket.
3. W. FERNET
next delivered an address to the French
citizens of the East side in their native
tongue. He spoke in eloquent tones of
DR.. Ames, and was frequently applauded.
He took the editorial which had been pub
lished in the French paper
of st. Paul, assaulting DR.. Ames
respecting his order to Chief
