Daily globe., 1882-10-21

Ap the conclusion OF Col. Glenn's adj
dress the usual preamble was adopted.
ED. A. STEVENS
was elected president and being called for
made short address. He believed that
as was the case when DR.. Amer run for
| mayor six years. ago, and again last
spring, by noon Of election day it will be
conceded that DR.. Ames will have been
elected. He believed that with solid and
persistent work Minneapolis will
give DR.. Ames rousing majority,
which means majority in Hennepin
county, and it is conceded by Wash
burns friends that majority in Henne-
pin for Ames will give him the district.
The organization was perfected by the
election of the following officers:
OFFICERS.
Presidential. A. Stevens.
Vice Presidents-Carl PIeper, Herman
Westphai, Henry Hamm, Matthew Gross
and Thomas Pagan.
Secretary-Herman Helm.
Treasurer-I-ambertH Hays.
The sqeaking was opened by the ac-
knowledged leader,
COL. Ii. W. GLENN,
who begun by stating that the position oc-
cupied by Washburn the past six years was
now beginning to tell against him. The
people of this district have expressed de-
termination that they would no longer be
| representation misrepresented, if you
please-by an aristocrat. Aristocrats can
| no longer represent this district in con-
gress. The papers are constantly telling
US what Washburn has done for us in con-
gress, but should they undertake
to state that which he failed
to do for US, then would they, indeed, have
an abundance to say. In referring to his
claim that Washburn never made the great
"Chinese speech in congress, but got
leave OF congress to publish it i'll the Con-
gs'essiOnai Globe, he stated that the Tribune
had called upon him to retract it and some
unknown party had mailed him that
part of the paper containing the editorial
in question. The more the speaker deIib-
Grated over it the more firmly was he i'm
pressed with the conviction that Washburn
neither wrote nor delivered that speech,
for looking all through his past history, it
was self evident that Washburn could never
have delivered it. He don't know enough.
Col. Glenn, in arguing that his conjec-
lures were true, gave a history of Wash
neapolis and in Anoka during the past
dozen years. How he ground down his
men; how he compelled them to work
more hours per day for less wages than
others paid for ten hours labor per day.
While in congress Washburn failed to get
through Republican congress an appro-
priation for $4,000 for public building
in Minneapolis for postoflice purposes.
Mr.. Window easily succeeded in getting
an appropriation of $4,000. Washburn,
during the past four years, has not accom-
plished in congress one single thing in the
interest of his constituency. The speaker
then referred to the Republican spoils sys-
tenn in no mild words. He thanked the
Lord that the day of Republican ascend
ancy was now past. sWhen rogues fall
out, honest men get their due" The
rogues have fallen out in Ohio and see the
result. The same condition of affairs ex-
ist in Pennsylvania and New York as in
Ohio, aud the result will be identical. He
closed by calling upon the voters of North
Minneapolis 20 give their united support
to the whole ticket and he would trust to
the result. The Republican rule in this
section will be thing of the past.
H. P. HERRING,
candidate for county attorney, was next
introduced, and made o fine speech. He
wished to speak in relation to the canvass
of the district, and thought it was high
time that a revolution in politics be con-
summated inMinnesota, in fact in the whole
country. He paid the congressional can
didate high tribute as straightforward,
conscientious gentleman. The time has
come when every man who is an American
citizen l. in the true sense should
turn his back upon the
Republican party and affiliate with the op-
position party-the Democratic party.
The Republican had been grand old
party, but it is so no longer. When Wash
burn said in his reply. to DR.. Ames' chal-
lenge to meet him upon the platform, that
he stood upon the records. of the Republi-
can party, did he refer to the record
of that party before it
was turned over to thievess The speaker
read number of extracts from the New
York Tribune, which has always been re-
cognized as the great leading organ of the
party, and which denounces the spoils sys-
tenn of the party, and predicted the down
fall of the party as the natural result of
its own corruption while in power.
In showing up the gigantic steals per-
pcudtCu " euO hCpuOilCdA party, the
speaker rccited the Credit Mobelier and
other robberies. and dealt in sfacts and
figures" Mr.. Herring spoke logically and
reasoned with his hearers. He went back
to the beginning of the thieving Grant
administration and recounted the record of
the Republican party of the present
day, to show that the Republican party
must and would be overcome. All the old
noble leaders have or are deserving it. He
said the most damnable of all the corrupt
deeds was the stealing of the presidency in
1876. [Applause. Mr.. Herring closed
with an extract from ex-Gov. Davis memo
rial eulogy upon the death of President
Garfield, and calling upon his hearers not
to cease their struggle for victory until the
sun shall have set on the evening of No
vember 7th.
The president next introduced
HON. A. A. AMES,
as the old commander of the dinner pail
brigade, who was greeted with applause.
H thanked his hearers for the com .li:nent
rendered him by organizing club which
shall bear his name. He stated that since
the close Of the rebellion. the Republican
