difficult question to determine.
Judge Ankeny represented the lay. Ha
addressed himself first to Col. Glenn. then
to the assemblage. This gathering We
not only intended as an honor to Mr.

justice and discharge an acknowledges
duty to congregate and publicly acknowI-
edge the important services accomn-
lished by him in the council. He spoke of
the efficiency of the various departments
and improvements in our city which were
greatly due to the capable and effective
efforts of Aid. Glenn. Minneapolis never
had council man better qualified to per
form his herculean work and yet no man
in the council has been more bitterly, more
shansefully and more villianously SANDER

emphasize the idea of the workingman be-
ing recognized. He would gladly welcome
the day when we shall see a representative
workingman in the presidential! chair. He
spoke as dyed-in-the-wool Democrat in

as long and as intimately as any gentle
man in the hall, and was not 10th to assert
that during his twelve years career as
public man, not word
can be said against his honor,
He has been abused shamefully
by the press, but not word has been said
nor has any one the tenerity to charge a
corrupt act. Mr.. Wilson did not believe
IN requiring the aldermen of the city to de-
vote their time and energy in the interests
of the city for a mere nominal pittance,
and was glad to note the small increase
made by our legislature last winter.

tive to himself which took place on last
election day. The speaker said it was his
honest conviction that if the Republican
press continue to berate Col. Glenn in the
future as they have done heretofore thew
