REPRESENTATIVE BARKsDaLE's SPEECH
on The SUBJECT.

Elsewhere we publish an interview
with Congressman Barksdale on the ship
Island Railroad land grant. Our sister
State deserves encouragement in this
enterprise, and Congress should carry
out the grant according to its original
spirit. The Stase is now preparing to
push the work of construction on the
road with her convict labor.
We do not endorse all that Mr. Banks
dale says about Ship Island Harhor
as compared with our own, but the fact
is admitted that it is a splendid one,
and ample to accommodate an immense
trade. An iron pier extending out to
deep water can be easily constructed
and shipping facilities obtained thai

voters, who have never failed to cast n vote
at any election. have been dropped from the
poll list. There Is millions in IL, IL IL is not
detected. IL Is the duty every Democrat
owes himself, his party and DIR. Ames to go
10 the polls to-day aud see to IL that his name
Is on the list. Register, everybody.
The laboring vote, despite the efforts of
Charlie, Is almost solid for Ames and De
mocracy. The times are indeed serious. A
conflict between grinding monopoly and OPP
pressed labor is threatened I'm other parts ~
the country. The sympathy OF the gre
Democratic party is against monopoly and
with the laborer. Our iaboring men here
Know this. They are In earnest and they will
stand as unit in this contest. DIR. Ames is
their friend and they know it.
IL Is rumored among Republicans that a
JOB was set up on George A. by certain of the
managers OF washburn and Langdon. 1t is
well known that honest John s. Pillsury is in
training for the United States senate. So is
Gen. Washburn, while the bluff Langdon is
longing to be governor. If George A. could
be induced to enter the fight for mayor ne
would surely be defeated. This would shelye
honest John and give Washburn and Langdon
clear field. We do not entirely credit these
things, but give them as current Republican
gossip. For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, these Republican bosses are
peculiar.
A meeting OF colored voters was held last
evening at PA Hennepin avenue, the head
quarters of the Ames Colored league. OF the
thirty-eight present, thrty-six declared for
Ames and two were in doubt. Lawrence
Oliver, formerly of Chicago, where he worked
for Carter Harrison, bet Capt. Kehoe $3.50 on
Ames last night, and agreed, If Ames does
not have 1000 ma jority, to wheel Kehoe up
and down Hennepin avenue. W. Il. Rogers,

DIR. ames and His W,Itpper.

The Tribune and Journal continue daily to
misrepresent and SANDER DIR. Ames. This
was To be expected. No matter who the
Democratic candidate might have been, they
would have held him up as ''pandering to the
lower classes" as backed by the slower
strata" aud the like. A few years ago their
favorite expressions were. ''pimps," ''black-
legs" and "bummers." Democrats should
remember that this species of warfare is not
at all new. 1t is the same low, vulgar abuse
of the Democratic candidate to which they
have always been subjected, and IL should
not be a surprise TO any one TO see IL now.
This Indian warfare, however. is having q
good effect. Every Democrat feels it as
personal insult, while hundreds OF Republi-
cans who are intending to vote for DIR. Ames
will properly resent ii. We say, then, go on
with your scayenger wagons. 1t may be
amusement for you, but it is perfectly harm
less 10 our candidate.

EIGHTH WARD ELOQUENCE.
Speeches by Judge Torrance and
Others Last Week.

A band of music and $50 people. inelud-
ing Democrats and nOn-residentS, gathered
at the Tweniy-eighth street rink last even
ing. to discuss the political situation of the
Eighth ward.
~ Capt. Babb presided, and introduced the
first speaker of the evening. Judge Ed
Torrance, who eulogized the Eighth ward
as the brightest spot in this bright city,
and said that it was the only ward in the
city in which liquor was not sold.
He said that the plan of I rol limits was
an experiment that no other city had ever
tried aud that il was so far a success, and il
was pity TO cut down before II had hardly
been tried. This policy is the great issue of
this campaign. And it is expected of US in
this ward to cast large vote In favor of the
present administration. He said that 40 per
cent. of the liquor traffic has been stopped,
and that meant hundreds of dollars in the
pockets of the laboring men. How do you
expect the lower part of the Fourth ward 10
vote?
Col. H. S. Hicks next addressed the
audience.
He said he had lived in the city long before
Col McCrory had discovered the Eighth
ward, and that the condition and issues I
the Eighth ward had been discussed by the
previous speaker; that the saloons had in-
creased nearly 100 per cent. curing the pre-
had been increase Of 100000 10 help keep
the paupers. In regard TO the headlines
he said the State had drawn q dead
line of half mile around the state
university and other state institutions, and
there is nothing said against that in regard TO
the alderman that you are TO elect from this
ward you must remember that Mr.. Lawrence
introduced q resolution in the council IN re-
gard TO the labor question; that of 81 so a day
for workingmen.
"sCRAP-IRoN BILL"
was next introduced and was greeted with
cheers.
He said he had been a wanderer from the
fold, and that the best thing III; [ he could do
was to return to the dear, grand old Repub-
lican party, and that all he could do he would
for the party. He said that he told his part
ner that he would not work for the firm
until after the election, as he could make
more money working for George A. Pilsbury
and Aid. Lawrence. He said that
he would add $500 to the price of his lot
after election-he had been abused in the
party he had been in for some time past-and
hence his return
Col. Fred A. Hooker passed over the
same ground that the previous speakers had
passed and added that, if the Republicans
were defeated at the coming election he
would charge it to the voters of the Eighth
ward who have had all the benefits of the
administration. DR.. Ames, he said. is a
good man and many families are under OBJ
legations to bin. He is peculiar, but we want
a man full of life, full of energy, full of
activity, fit representative of beautiful

The Contest.

The vote two years ago was over 2e.OOO
his year it will likely be $4,000. Everything
now indicates a severely-fought contest. On
the one side is arrayed the Pillsbury family
with the Pillsbury barrels. all heading for a
seat in the United States senate. On the
other is mighty upris.n of the people of
all classes and conditions. Who shall VIM
Monopoly and money, or the still, small voice
OF the ballot! There will be no child's play
in the work. 1t will be contest of giants
We have no fear for the results. The people
OF this city are tired of cant. sick of hypoc-
racy, disgusted with imbecility and infiamed
at dishonesty, the police investigations, the
Cutter steals, the Sly jobs, the water works
mismanagement, the general lack of
business method prevailing in every quarter,
all cry out for change. To all this the only
response is ''the license and patrol are in
in danger. DIR. Ames is a bad man." Give
us DR.. Ames with his honest heart and his
tine executive ability, and the men who elect
him will answer for his errors.

told them to vote for the man and not for a

audience became so enthusiastic over Ames
that the speaker was obliged to sit down in

lating his personal experience out West

do this with the temptation of grog and
harlot shops, then remove them. The
policy that the present mayor has in
augurated is encouraging, the laborer's con-
dition is far better than ever in the time
of Ames' administration. He tried TO
show wherein PllSbury was the laboring
mans friend by giving employment TO
hundreds of men and declaring dividends
as their share of rightful earnings, but he
succeeded so poorly that the audience
shouted the oft repeated cry of hurrah for

IN THE THIRD.
A Republican Meeting Captured by
the Democrats.

There was large assemblage at Hunts
hall in the Third ward last night. 1t was
given out that it would be a Republican
meeting, but it was very evident from the
hooting and jeering whenever Mayor Pills
bury's name was mentioned, and from the
deafening hurrahs when DR.. Ames was
spoken of, that the audience was largely a
Democratic one.
County Attorney Davis was the first
speaker, and attempted TO show that taxes
are lower now, all things considered, than
they were two years ago. He claimed that
in the first year of Pillsbury's administration
that the expense of keeping the police
force had been decreased $50. 900, thereby
putting $40. 600 into the reserve fund. He
explained that the reason of the large in
crease in the police force was owing to the
city's having grown so rapidly under the
present regime, and said the laboring men
have good homes, good clothing and all of
the necessaries of life. At this the audi
ence hooted and jeered so that the speaker
was obliged to wait several moments before
resuming. Then he said Ames wished to
protect 700 or 800 would-be saloon keepers
in preference to the masses. Hurrahs for
Ames. Chicago. he said. never saw the
utter abandon to all decency and morals as
this city saw two years ago.

is whether we shall have wide open pol
icy or shall we have good government with

Intimidating saIoonkeepers.

1t is well remembered that two years ago
the Pillsburys enlisted the aid and co-opera-
ton of four-hfths OF the saloonkeepers of
Minneapolis. This year they have been I'M
able 10 secure them through reckless and alb
surd promises, and as a next resort have be-
gun series of intimidations. That eminent
exponent of "a pure administration" Aid.
w. w. sly, is the apparent champion of the
movement. Aid. w. W. Sly on Tuesday Wis
tied the various saloons adjacent TO the dead
line boundaries, and his attempts to induce
them to peremptorily renounce DIR. Ames Ue-
ing futile, he said TO Philip Hartman:
You are a nice fellow l like You and
hate 10 shut you out, but if you people work
Tor DR.. AmeS, the patrol limits will be
changed so as TO shut you people out"
If saloonkeepers will vote for Pillsbury
they will be protected. but il they vote for
DIR. Ames they mu st close up business. This
IS another instance OF the infamous policy of
the Republicans TO bulldoze voters.

The OutIooIx.

The GLOBE begs to assure its readers this
morning that the cause never looked brighter
for the Democracy. The Pillsbury family
are running all over the city day by day dis
tributing Doodle, encouraging the FAINT
hearted. straining every nerve TO have pa act
manly and be honorable and continue TO be
mayor. From every quarter comes the intel
hgence that their work is having but poor
effect. The numerous ''declensions'' have
shaken the faith of Republicans in the old
mans stability, and they say they prefer TO
have change. All efforts to coax. threaten
and drive the refractory elements back TO the
Pillsbury fold are futile. On the other hand
there is entire harmony among Democrats
They say: 1--WE are now I'm the line of victory.
The administration at Washington is Demo
cratic" Encouraged by this they look for
ward to seeing Minnesota Democratic state.
The first step is 10 redeem Minneapolis. Let
every man do his duty and victory is sure TO
ha ours
