go, bnt my business will not permit me-.
Go to the front and I will join you
as soon as can fix up
my affairs" That night the little compa-
ny disbanded All save its brave, valiant
captain joined the regular army. Many
of them won distinction and honor fight
ing for their beloved country, while others
left their bones to bleach on the battle
fields of the South. Now where was the
noble "Gen" Washburns He stole
away to the pineries of the north
as surveyor, and did not
emerge from their density until Gen. Lee
had surrendered. cheers. sThe lying
papers state that I RETAINED from refer
ring to the pine lands of the Red lake dis
trict, in st. Paul. I did speak of it and
will continue to speak of it. It is nefa-
rious steal. 1t is the last of the peoples
lands and Washburn wants to throw it
into the market. He conducted
the only survey of those lands. Washburn
and his stealing syndicate have their eyes
on this land. Washburn is willing to ex-
pend 100000 to gain his election. But
thank. heaven, the next congress will be
Democratic and Washburn, if elected, will
be deprived of the pleasure of perfecting
his gigantic steal.
He alluded to the attempt of the board
of education to present 0. V. Tousley
$1,000, because he is a great Republican.
He was to go to Austria, and then to con-
troll the schoolmarms of Minneapolis
through the mails. The speaker stated
that while he was working up the case, the
old Democratic war horse Col. Glenn, was
doing the same thing in the city council.
Col. Glenn is always an antagonist to
thieving. II went to that eminent old
Democrat, who will some day be your &C
knowledged leader, Hon. E. M.Wilson, and
the scheme was stopped. The speaker
closed amid cheers and applause.
COL. GLENN
was the shout which rent the air, and as
vociferously. He stated that he had re-
ferred to Washburn in st. Paul as D. w.
Washburn. 1t was perhaps mistake, but
he had reason for believing that, in one
sense, it was correct. During the speak
er's connection with the city legislature,
he had found many dirty tricks which had
been performed by Washburn, therefore it.
may be construed, DIRTY William
Col. Glenn spoke sarcastically of the
philanthropic career of Washburn in
congress. He undertook to getan appropri-
alton for postoffice in Minneapolis. He
couldn't get it. He called upon VIM. Win
dom to aid him and Window succeeded in
getting an appropriation of $4,000 with
little effort. The speaker did not believe
| Washburn had enough influence in Wash
| ington to secure an appropriation which
would suffice to put border on the apron
at the falls. Cheers
Speaking soberiy he advocated the cause
of the entire Democratic ticket which
claimed the franchise of the voters of Hen
nepin county.
| G. NJ. FOOTE,
| the candidate for the legislature in the
| Twenty-ninth district,was the next speak
er.
He began by saying that the Democrats
had given him the honor of place upon
the legislative ticket, and he assured
| his hearers that if elected he
would conscientiously perform his duty.
He had no particular object in seeking an
election, but he had an object in striving
| for the election of DR.. Ames to a seat in
congress CHEERS He then paid Dr. Ames
glowing and eloquent tribute, and was
greeted by applause.
D. B. JOHNSON
followed. He had made only two polit-
zeal speeches in Minneapolis. He
had then made two predictions.
He had predicted the election of DR.. Ames
to the mayoralty of Minneapolis and he
predicted his election to congress.
Mr.. johnson made an eloquent effort,
which the GLOBE regrets it cannot print
verbatim this morning. HIS was speech
which has seldom been eclipsed amoug the
younger speakers in Minneapolis.
He believed in the old doctrine of
| fifty years ago, When the
country prospered under a Democratic
rule. Then the Office holder was not al
lowed to crowd himself before the people
as candidate, but was brought out by the
people and by them elected. He charged
upon each and every individual Democrat
to DOT only exercise his franchise for the
election of the entire ticket, but perform
his duty as he should to
bring out Inc full strength of the party
whose standard-bearer is Hon. A. A. Ames.
If this be done he can and will represent
the workingmen of this district in the
house of representatives.
EDWARD M'DERMOTT,
the president of the Central Ames club,
followed in short address. He
had been for q term of
years Interested in the well
| fare of the worklng men of Minneapo-
lis. and he knew that W. D. Washburn had
never done one little act of kindness to
the workingmen. He had fraudulently
cheated the workingmen of Minneapolis
and owed therr o-1sy many hundreds or
thousagus of olla,s, and nov that Wash
burn is th seve :. millions of dollars
the. Hest up A,ht and honest act
he Guild do would be to come forward and
pa. the s,ses he owes those poor, indus
trious iaborers. He then reviewed the cir
cumstances of the strike of Washburn's
railroad employees in June, 1881. The
strike was inaugurated because Washburn
| would not pay his men enough to support
their families, nor would he pay nearly as
much as other railroa Is. Washburn's men
were compelled to work several more
hours per day than were the employees of
other roads, and not only this, but Wash
burn had no regular set time for paying
these wages The result was the poor men
were driven into all sorts of straits. They
sold their time to spectators at discount
in order that their families might not suf-
fer for bread. The strike
