Big Meeting Last NiGAt and a RatIIing
speech or DR.. lines.
The Sixth ward Democrats had a large
turnout at Martins hall last evening, every
seat being filed and standing room taken.
The meeting was called to order at $3.50
o'clock by President Davenport Upon mo
ton the consideration of routine business
WAS dispensed with and DIR. Ames introduced
10 the audience.
After returning than ks for the cordial re
eeption rendered him, ex-MayOr Ames said
he was out Of politics-put out last spring
and had no axe to grind. All the axe he had
was little Ratchet he had sharpened and in
tended to use. II was a mistake TO say there
are no issues at stake. The great principles
of Democracy are at stake just the same as
ever. The belief that government should
be for aud Of the people, was, he considered,
the greatest Of these principles. A party or
a man who believed be was a ruler, and not
a servant, makes mistake, and this is what
the Republican party is doing. Another
gre principle Is that laws should be so adj
minisIered as 70 do the greatest good 10 the
greatest number OF people. No one repre-
sents these great principles more fully
than Grover Cleveland. There have
been many charges made against
him and we have heard great deal about
them because four-ffths of the papers are
Republican. The more prominent of these
charges Mayor Ames proceeded 10 discuss.
He showed how the vetoes made by Governor
Cleveland were TO- the benefit rather than 10
the detriment Of the laboring man. His very
plain statement OF the real facts in the case
elected the heartiest applause from the audi
ence, composed Of Workingmen entirely.
The Republican party, once pure. has out
livedits usefulness. Il is a party led by Of
flee holders, and without vestige of the
honest principles which originated it.
Brief references to the corruption of the
party, the Alulligan letters, Blaine's great
aggressive policy followed, in which the ssr-
castle utterances of the speaker created great
laughter.
THE BLOODY SHIRT.
The Republicans are attempting to shake
the bloody shirt again this fall. The other
night at a Republican meeting at Market
hall Col. VI. A. Dunnell took occasion 10
shake the bloody shir. at us Democrats, and
lauded the Republicans as ssviors of the
county. Who is this great patriot. I'll tell
YOU his record. When the war broke out he
was in Maine. He started out as a
colonel in the cavalry. lie went at
the head of his cavalry 10 Bull Run
and it was a Bull Run for him.
| / can tell you, he ran the other way, and
kept running. How ne got there / don't
suppose he can tell you, but he never stopped
until he got 20 Augusta, Maine, where he
resigned his colonelcy. That is the man
| who talks about the Democrats being traitors.
| Here's another patriarch, Gen. Wash
burn, who got his title as surveyor genera
/ and never went TO the war. Gen Bill
King holds the same Office. And here's Gil
| fllan. He's another. i never knew until
last night that he had a record but he has.
| He was a lieutenant who enlisted for sixty
DAYS aud marched from Minneapolis TO Fort
| Smelling and there disbanded himself. When
the First Minnesota met at the reunion al
Lake Calhoun last summer Mr. Gilfllen ad-
dressed those battle SCARED veterans as
comrades" These are the saviours of our
country who abuse old sol
diers aud say we saved the country -
The Republican party at large is doing the
same thing. Not only as 10 the bloody shirt
but as to other tissues" rs they call them.
The Republicans all over the country are just
the same as they are here in Minneapolis,
and you car Judge Of them by looking al
their record here at home.

All through his speech Mr.. Ames wa
greeted by cheers and laughter, and close
amid great applause and cheering.
At the conclusion OF DR.. Ames' speec

hoarseness spoke only briefly on nations

marks about the county officers.
ID. Davenport spoke at considerable lengt
upon the iudgeship question, and laid bar
the issue between Judge Young aud Hon
Seagrave Smith. lie spoke in 4 dispassiou
