Malicious ISLANDERS Refuted-- w hat
A,nes Esas Bone in Minneapolis.
Deacon NettletOn, Mr.. Pray and Mr.. Bell
are deeply anxious to know why Democrats
support DI. Ames, he being very bad man.
They can have their answer:
l. Because he is an honest man, and
that is more than they dare say for many
Republicans III high places.
2. Because ne is good officer. Look at
the situation as compared with PillsburyS
administration. Then things ran at skies
and Seyens. The police force was inefficient
and demoialized. We had the city hall job
berry. Now everything goes straight. The
city was never more prosperous, never more
orderly. never was its business affairs better
supervised. DR.. Ames keeps an eye over
it all. and if he has been good mayor he
will be a good governor.
3. Because he is an enemy to the mon
opolies and rings. He would not turn his
police on the striking Switchmen. lie re-
fused to make them pilots on the locomo-
tives. He declined to have them push cars
of wheat to the mills. For all this the button
hole bouquet Superntendents denounced
him. but the people bravely upheld him. lie
is in sympathy with the masses, not with
SOulleSS corporations. He advocates Or
ganiZed labor, not degraded or oppressed
labor. He would. like Gen. Washington
take off his hat to the humblest man i'll the
city. but he would refuse to crlnge to the
pr0udest
But they saw how about his morals?
That is private matter. not public. we
are running this campaign not for fun, but
TO win. We support DIR. AmeS; he is the
standard-bearer of our party. and because
ha ic fba or n the
are fearful wrongs to right. The state is
to be redeemed. High-handed robbery is
to be stricken down. The power OF mo-
nopolies is to be curled. The greed of cor
poratons is to be restrained. The rings,
one and all, so wllfully wicked are to be
throttled. Dr. Ames is the man to Go it,
and if properly equipped tor that work we
care not whether he drinks water or wine,
whisky or catnip tea. DE certainly does
not drink any more than Gen. Grant did,
either as president or general. \ ct who ever
found fault with Grant on that account?
If DR.. Ames is such bad, bad man, why
did Mr.. Pray vote for him as director OF
the EXPOSITION less than two months ago?
Why does he sit with him in deliberatiOn
upon matters connected with that concern?
His pretense now is too shallow. Every
man in MINNEAPOLIS knows that DIR. AmeS,
in point of popularity, skill IN his profes-
sion, executive ability and personal char
acter is as fit as any man In the state to
hold the official position OF governor. and
all this mawkish sentimeDtality about him
is mere political buncomDe, intended to de-
ceive the gullible and unWary. He
needs no defense. They SANDER him no
worse than they did Grover Cleveland.
Not one of these men would for a moment
make such insinuations if DR.. Ames were
not a Democrat. They can, if they desire.
find plenty of instances in their own party
of men in the Twin Cities whose skirts are
are not whittier than snow.

Reasons Why Republicans Will Not
support Him.


First-Because he is not a representative
man of his party. Nobody ever heard of
McGill as proper man for governor until
Fletcher brought him out. The Repub-
Ican party has plenty of men fitted to sit in
the executive chair. men like Window.
Davis. Gilman, Nelson or Gibbs. McGill
has always been regarded as a sort of clerk
at the state house. He has no standing
whatever as man of brains or knowledge.
He never made public speech three min
utes long. Nor can he do so, to save his
soul. 1t is 10 wonder that the rank and
file of the party will not come up to the
work for tn specimen of mediOcrity.
SecOnd-Because he is the mere creature
of the rings. His long acquaintance with
the state house ring and its operations
doubtless brought him TO the attention of
the present gang. He had seen in the state
house the pine lands fading from public
view and falling into the hands of the land
grabbers. de had seen corporations sprung
up in a back office. lay their plans for
getting government aid. and after gobblng
all they could of the public domain. divide
ND the stock. which eventually made the
members millionaires. He had seen the
books of the officials, when Overhauled by
the examiner. doctOred into shape. lie
had seen taxation wrung from the pockets
of the farmers TO build up state prison
rings and asylum rings. Beng such an
expert. he was just the man the wheat
ring wanted to enable it to keep up 1.-The

negro arrested Friday on suspicion of being

Mary Dolan and Miss Nora Moran last
Sunday night. near Sixty-irst and Hale
streets, was taken before the two women
yesterday for Identification. The women
were on the second floor of a house on State
street, near Sixty-second. Both identified
the negro as their assailant, and while the
interview was being held about twenty rel
atives and friends made rush for the prlS
oner, rope in hand. Sergt. Wright and
three officers were obliged to use their clubs
freely in order to get away with their pris-
oner, who was taken to the county Jail, it
being thought best to remove him from
HYDE Park jail. The women were brutally
beaten by their assailant and Miss Moran's
head is still bandaged.

mind that Judge Macdonald, the Demo-
cratic candidate like President Cleveland,
was never defeated when candidate be-
fore the people. Commencing way back in
1859, Judge Macdonald was elected
Judge of probate of this (Scottl
county. Having served out his time in
this Office. he was in succession elected
county attorney, county superintendent of
schools. member of the house of representa-
tiveS and state sen ate, and judge of the
Eighth judicial district, which latter posi-
ton, after eleven years of most creditable
and faithful service, he has just resigned
to be ready to accept the office of
congressman. to which he will be
elected Tuesday. His life since 1859
has been one of continuous official service,
bestowed upon him by an appreciative con-
Stituency. and in all that time no one can
point to duty neglected or trust betrayed.
I In whatever position he has been placed,
he has not only been found equal to it,
but he has always performed the duties
with zeal and faithfulness. AS conse-
quence, promotion has steadily followed
promotion, until now, when in the full vigor
of ripened manhood. with his mind stored
with the results of long observation and
study, and his mental and physical powers
at their best, the people of the Third district
propose to send him TO congress, where his
ripe intellect, great industry and sterling
integrity will be employed in shaping legis-
latiOn in their interest and that of the
country at large.

Rings and arrogant. corporations
would consider themselves indorsed

they would be more arrogant than ever.
Years would not bring us again up to the

In view of the grave responsibilities rest
ing upon Democrats, we make one more
appeal. Do not content yourself with
betting silk hats and canes. This is un-
worthy of you. But go to work. Talk to
your neighbor. Go to the polls. Stay
there all day. Work for Ames and victory,

FIFTEEN MExlCANs KILLED
I'm an Engagement in the Province
of Sonora.

NOGALEs, AriZ., Oct. 31.-It has just
come to light here that the governor of
Sonora is implicated in a murder which had
particulars are meager, but it is known
that the governor learned that the parties
who killed his courier were in the village
of MonteZuma, and that they had consid-
cradle following. He made raid upon the
village. and in the fight that ensued severa
on both sides were killed and many
wounded.
Later-The raid of Gov. Torres, of
Sonora Mex, and his men into Montezuma
district was more fatal than was at first
supposed. From reliable Mexican gentle.
men, who are residents of this town, you
correspondent learns the following facts.
After the killing of Prefecto Torres. who
was cousin of the governor. the governor
resolved upon some sort of vigorous retalia-
ton. A couple of weeks ago, the governor,
accompanied by Commandante Torres. a
cousin of his, with $50 state troops, started
for MonUezuma district. At the town Of
Montezuma, the capital of the district, they
met the revolutionistS, headed by SenOt
Vallarde. This was the same party that
killed Prefecto Torres. Gov. Torres,
on seeing the party, made ready
for fight. but subsequently an armistice
was held, but the blood on either side
being warm, no amicable conclusion was
arrived at and Gov. Torres, pulling his
pistol, fired and killed Vallarde i'll his
tracks. A fierce fight then ensued, which
resulted in fifteen men being killed and
several wounded 1t is impossible to get
the facts relating to the number wounded
and the nature of their wounds. but
enough is known to warrant the statement
that a great deal of blood was shed. Com
mandante Torres, who accompanied the
governor is the brother of the prefectO
recently killed near Campus by the reyolu-
tionists. This fight occurred on Tuesday
last.

Two Railway Accidents.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 31.-The west
bound extra freight of the Oregon railroad
ran into rock near Alkali at 6 this morn
ing. The engine and fifteen cars were de-
rallied and piled up in heap. l.. Silva,
the fireman. was instantly killed. F. f.
Burke, head brakeman. had leg broken
and was scalded. He died from his injuries.
Engineer Sam Lucker was injured. but not
fatally. The wreck was cleared in few
hours. and trains are running on time. The
Oregonian's Corvallis special gives particu-
lars of an accident similar to the above on
the Oregon Pacific road this morning. The
wrecking train which started from Corvallis
to clear the track of freight cars which had
been derailed, ran into the rock slide,
instantly killing John Goodrich, fireman,
and fatally injuring Speelman, brakeman.
Engineer Robinson had leg broken. A
heavy fog prevailed and the train was run
ming slowly.

WINoNA, Minn., Oct. 31.-Never in the
history of Winona has there been as lively
an interest manifested in a political can
vass as i'll the present congressional fight.
Politicians of bOth parties have been out
all day to-day and even the best church
members could not refrain from mingling
in the little groups on the street corners
and discuss the situation. Judge Wilson
is growing stronger every day. and to-
night there is a confident feeling that he
will be elected by a big majority. lttrans-
pires that prominent Republicans here
have secretly been working for him all
through Winona county, and he will go
out of this county by an overwhelming
vote. Judge Wilson arrived home from
Albert Lea in good spirits this morning and
was much gratifed at the hattering out
look in his own county. He will speak at
RuShford tomorrow night.

MONTICELLO. Oct. 31.-There was an
enthusiastic meeting held by the Democ-
racy at Music hall on Saturday evening,
which was addressed by Hon. C. II. Bene-
diet, of St. Paul. The audience was COM
posed of probably more than half Republi-
cans, but the intense enthusiasm mani
tested whenever the names of Ames or
Rice were spoken sustains the predictions
that Wright county will roll up great
vote for these friends of the people. Mr..
Benedict's speech was principally OH the
tariff issue, on which subject he is one of
the best informed men in the state. He
spoke of the immense sums being used by
the wheat ring to bolster up their waning
fortunes, and predicted their defeat in
spite of these attempts to corrupt the hon
est yeOmanry of the state. The speech
occupied about one and One-half hours in
delivery. and the points were vigorously
applauded. At the close OF the meeting
several influential Scandinavians shook
hands with MI Benedict and assured him

nomination The control of the state conven-
tiOn was primarilr due to the theft of Ramsey
county. where, with 10000 votes, only 500
were represented in the Republican prima-
ries, and the bulk of these bogus. With these

into the special interests which McGills can

people, any kind of stick can be

regard to the character OF the party or its

of Republican ring rule breaking away and

ment shining forth. Minnesota holds a

we falter, we not only shatter all these
