candidates The reign OF ring rule, ne salu'
was nearly run, and the Republican party
was trying to bolster up its 1aSt-fallng
strength by endeavoring to elect A. X. Nc

cOuld not understand why McGlll had not

posing the county ticket. and mentioned es-
pecally Judge Rand, against whom ne Judge
OuInn1 worked for the nomination. Tue
Judge said he would esteem it personal
favor if his friends would vote for Mr.. Raid.
Calls for Chris Gallagher brought that gen
tleman to the platform, where he made
ringing speech. The promises the Repuoll-
can party had made were held up to view
where they were pointed st by the finger OF
scorn. The Democratic party, he said, had
shown by its acts that it was on the SIDE or
the people and would ever remain so. MIR.
Gallagher said it was not DIR. AmeS who had
vilited Minneapolis as the Republicans
charged. but the two Republican organs
which had, laying aside truth, and in an en-
deavor to injure Mayor Ames. advertised Min
neapolis as 8 paradise for murderers and
pickpockets. The vile record of the RepubH-
can party was torn all TO pieces, aud Mr..
Gall6gher's apt comparisons drew forth
hearty applause. The ticket as whole was
Endorsed by the speaker, who said he wanted
to see all of his friends vote it straight. On
the whole. the meeting was the most enthu-
siastic one that has yet been held in the city,
and each speaker was warmly applauded.
