RICK---JACK---JIG.
Weekly Blow Out Of NOrdin's Free
and Easy.
Billy Window Didn't Choose to Speak to the
Music of Gilfllan's Hired Band.
The Small Fry Entertained the Circus
with High and Lofty Tumbling.

Again the star performers Hon. Billy Win
dom and Hon. Billy L. Kelley failed to put
in an appearance at Nordn's free and easy
when the curtain rose on large audience
at Pfeifer hall last evening. Therefore the
North Star band now under the especial
patronage Of Gen. MacCarthy kicked the air
with mclodious brass and President Nordin
corrected the report of the GLOBE that it was
hired by nominee Gilfllan to toot at the last
meeting, explaining that he had hired it
himself for no other compensation but their
patriotism for Blaine and Logan,
TO play on the aforesaid evening, and prior
to his going out into the rural districts to
take Ignatius Donnelly's scalp.
He then called upon c. NJ. Bell to make a
grand entree Of talk on the occasion, but
that gentleman refused to ring out any utter
ances on the plea of urgent business. Gen &.
MacCarthy was then called upon who gave a
glowing description of his renegade recep-
ton" at the Republican rally at Winona on
Wednesday evening, and then told how he
had always voted on the free and easy sys-
tenn without any utilization with the Demo-
cratic party, except to slaughter unworthy
Democrats up for local offices, and how he
had filed his belt full of this kind of hair.
He claimed this campaign was to be a
crucial test of the Americau-Irish voters who
had been kicked out by the nomination of
Cleveland at Chicago, to which party Irish
men owed nothing and the party everything
to the Irishmau. The Irish were all going
into the Republican ranks and were pre-
pared to swallow Whigism and Know Moth
ingism like a gilded pill, and would vote for
Blaine with a Catholic mother whom he was
ashamed Of and Presbyterian father whose
religion he preferred and send the Demo
cratic party TO hell.
Protection free trade and British gold,
which latter was going to rob
America of her manufacturing interests as
it had Ireland, and reduce her
to purely agricultural country were in turn
dwell upon and the dangers thereof pointed
out like u cheap political chrome with the
co ors Mark II. Dunnell had left in his pail in
his late Turner hall speech After some
facetious remarks on the hanging question,
the n Drth Star band closed the acrobatic
feature of the evening with an appropriate
medley.
W. II. Lightner then told the audience
why he was young Republican, which he
said was growing 100000 of every four years,
and was followed by candidate for represen-
tatiye, Brigham, of the Ramsey county
towns, with Il chapter OF his political history
from way down the track of years, mainly
interesting from the fact that he was an old
silver gray Wing from New York
IL was announced that President Nordin
would make his farewell campaign talk to
the club for the season as he was going
outside until after election to grapple with
Donneily. After n char ctarStic story on
sugar and Goldfish in q fight of Ciceroic elo-
quence lie announced rhat a. Gen McCqr-
thy stood at the head of the Irish element in
the state, he, Nordin, proudly stood up as
the figure-head of the Swrdes.
He then reiterated the claim that the mis-
sion of the Republican party would not be
ended until every relative of the soldiers Of
the late war had been laid under tue turf
and the UNFOLDING OF the one party mo-
nopoly of this government by
stltistical utterances, s.representiu sew
eral centuries in the future, the
gentlemen ended with dog and a bull story
that some one had recently fed him with
down in Chippewa county, which he applied
to the tariff question, but with wonderful
freshness conf ssed he did not know much
about what he was talking about.
The GLOBE is indebted to the several
speakers for the court Gus advertising given
it on this occasion, and will hereafter give
LIBERAL space, as usual, to Nord.u's free and
