ever held in This city by the citizens Of Can
adian birth. II was a matter Of surprise that
there were so many of that nationality in the
city.
p. J. Butler presented the following resO-
lutions:
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, AT meeting OF q few Of the
| Canadian Americans resident in Minneap-
oils, held at Harrison hall, Il was resolved
that the entire vote and influence Of said
! COMMUNICATIONS be used for the Repub-
/ lican state ticket and
WHEREAS, vast amount OF the Canadian
! Americans residentin said city were not
present at said meeting and knew nothing
/ OF the proposed action until the same was
! published in the newspapers,
Resolged, That We do not consider our
selves bound thereby and that we condemn
and repudiate said action as dictatorial and
prejudicaI 10 our rights as free and indie
pendent voters.
+. A. Merrill, bright young attorney and
a staunch Democrat, made telling speech
against the high protective tariff.
DIR. Bray related at some length the means
adopted at the first meeting Of the Canadian
Americans a week ago, when Gilfllan reso-
lutions were adopted.
Mr.. Dowdall spoke directly to the point
He denounced the trlckery through which it
had been given TO the public that the Cana
dian-Americans would vote the straight Re
publican ticket, Gilhllan and all.
Mr.. Morrill, spoke Of the candidacy Of
GROVER CLEVELAND.
He said :"he was elected to the Office Of gov
/ 81
and by the largest majority ever scored by
any governor In any state" He then
turned to tie candidacy Of Thos. 4. Hen
bricks aud said: she Is deemed by the
bigoted Republicans as an unmitigated
traitor TO his country. That is false. No
man can point to a single action by Thomas
a. Hendricks wherein he ever
voted or worked for measure
in controversy to the federal government.
John A Logan is one OF the men who pre-
cipitated the war. Hnot for just such men
as he there would never have been that
bloody war, and vet he is called the great
and brave soldier. There has never been
but one charge brought against Mr.. Cleve-
land and that is too contemplate TO have
any bearing.
DIR. Emery was the next speaker. lie is
PROHIBITIONIsT.
He, too, related the incidents OF the previous
meeting. He had reasons, he said, which sent
him shooting of from both political
parties, and to a party which has not much
power just now. He said the first meeting
was prominently cut and dried affair.
The doctor was quite witty and kept his
auditors in a continuous roar Of laughter He
said at that meeting they forgot that Bclva
| Lockwood was candidate, that Ben Butler
and that St. John were candidates. 1t Was
all Blaine. Now 1 am a Canadian WHO does
not believe that my countrymen are
like cattle TO be led by few
partiZans. - Canadian I love
my country, but now that l live in America
/ do not know why German as a German
should demand anything, or an Irishman, a
Canadian or any other nationality but be-
cause they are Americans, they have the
privilege, or should have it. to demand their
rights. Now this tariff question is all bOsh.
There are no Republicans who know where
they stand on that issue, and there are
mighty few Democrats who are any better. Now
l believe there are certain manufacturing
interests which should be protected, but there
are also gigantic monopolies which should be
choked of. l know Of manufacturers who
have become bloated millionaires aud aristo-
Gratis through the operations of this Infamous
tariff As 10 the ISLANDERS which are promul-
gated against candidates for Office, say you,
as intelligent Canadians, shonld read and
deduce for yourselves. Why lies can be
piled up mountain high, until this country /.
blackened and DETAINED throughout the civil
! lized world, except this country. Here we
/ pay little attention, for we understand
them.
Z. c. Whitney took the floor 10 endorse
the resolution and place himself on record
as opposed to the object Of the opposition
} meeting, as entirely unwarranted by the
Canadian-Americans. Applause.
