ciple. That party has passed out of ex-
istence. All the old, honest, great
minds which gave it its existence had
long since left its ranks in disgust and
united with the Democrats, leaving it en-
tirely to the stalwarts and the half-breeds.
Mr.. Wilson referred to the tariff question,
and as he had done during the cam
paign showed up the fallacies of the
present high tariff system, plainly
showing that to none of the industries in
Minneapolis was the tariff benefit, but
rather an injury, inasmuch as it added to
the cost of the machinery with which
all the manufactures we're supplied. It is
also an injury to the numbering indus
tries in the same way. Everything
sent into the country cost more on account
OF the tariff. No fear need be apprehended
on the score of the tariff question, because
the Democrats have handsome majority
in congress. The Democrats will pursue
policy which shall result
in the interests of the people.
They cannot afford TO 60 else, and if they
act judiciously and control the govern
ment as the government should be con-
trolled during the coming two years, a
Democratic presidential victory is assured.
Applause. The speaker paid
his respects to Jay Hubbell
The people haye determined that 0bney
shall no longer control elections of the
country. The people will restore the gar
ment to It's former purity.
Mayor Anes here read telegram
from Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, ex-
planning that he was unable
to be in attendance, owing to a serious at
tack of vertigo. The mayor then intro
duced the old and reliable war-horse,
COL. GLENN.
He, too, felt particularly happy. He
related several anecdotes which carried
the house by storm. He wished
to call the attention of the audie nee to the
'blocdy shirt He couldn't account for the
failure of the Republicans to waive that
shirt during the past campaign. They,
however, introduced little trick
on the night before election. I
wish to brand it as a piece
Of the dirtiest knownothingism he ever
came in contact with. w. d. Washburn
had printed and circulated among the
people throughout the county assailing
Cur candidate for congress. It was one Of
Mayor Ames' official orders, and it had been

upon certain class of our foreign born
citizens, with the aim Of prediudicing
them against the best and most faithful
friend which they have in all Minnesota.
He was confident, now that the election
is over, that had the matter of electing
ocr congressman, been left to the free
and Intelligent vote of the people
w. d. Washburn would have been buried
beneath such a huge pile OF votes that his
political sickness would have been beyond
cure. He spoke Of the few Irishmen who
had voted and worked for Washburn.
These men disgraced their nationality by
their conduct. They are not worthy of
the name of an Irishman
Irlshmen who knew that
their fellow country men,
citizens of the United States had lain in
untried English dungeons and Washburn
refused to make any move toward their
freedom. We have accomplished as
glorious victory,as has New York. Wash
burn carried Hehepin county before by
5000 majority. He failed
to get it this time.
His papers have much to say of the COM
pliment which the voters rendered him,
while he, instead of getting the 5000 ma
jority of which they boasted, will only
have few hundred plurality when the
votes are all counted.
The meeting was closed by a few cheer
ing remarks by Mayor Ames.
