Ames at Faribault.

Special to the Globe.
FARIBAULT. Mimi. Oct. 29.-The peo-
pies choice for governor. A. a. Ames, ar
rived here from the south on the 4:3O O'Clock
train, and was met at the station by COM
mittees from the AmeS and Workingmen's
clubs and citizens in carriages, and escorted
to Democratic headquarters at the Airing
ton house. where all informal reception was
held. At 7:3O D. m. the rink was filled to
its utmost capacity with ladies and gentle
men awaiting the appearance OF Mr.
Ames, who was escorted from head
quarters by the Faribault band.
The meeting. comprising more than
2,00O people was presided over by
Hon. Ara Barton. OF Faribault, who. upon
calling the meeting to order, made happy
illusions to the large number present and
to Ames' record as soldier. Upon being
introduced, Mr.. Ames returned thanks for
the warn reception gwen him by the mayor
and people of FaTibault, and congratulated
them upon their
FINE AND GROWING CITY.
He made reference to the manner of his
nomination and compared it with that OF
McGill. McGill was brought out and nom
mated by the wheat ring. He claimed he
had more honor than those who we're going
up and down the state traducns his
personal character. as he had moth
ing of personal nature to
say against his opponents. He
spoke feelingly of the old soldiers. and
claimed the Democratic party was the true
friend Of the soldiers. and pledged himself
to carry out the platform III regard to ieglS
lation for them. He scored the wheat ring
roundIy. and accused the Republican party
of being run by them. He attacked the
rings. and handled them i'll his inimitable
style without gloves and with telling effect
upon the audience. not forgetting hot
shot at that ''must subsidized and lying
sheet, the Pioneer Press" Referring to
THE LATE STRIKE
in Minneapolis, he went over the facts IN
the case. refuting the charge that it was
cOncocted for the purpose OF making pOlItl-
cal capital for him. as has been charged by
Republican speakers and papers. He said
he wodld come out of Minneapolis
with 10, 900 majority. He alluded to the
military services of McGIll. stating that his
service was put in at st. Peter. he (Mc-
Gill never leaving the state during the
war. He asked at the close Of his speech
that the voters of the county
weigh well the words spoken
by him. and II they thOugnt
him worthy of their votes, he would be
glad to have them. This was the largest
and most enthusiastic political a4eting
ever held in this city, and the doctor made
scores of votes by his manly and dignifed
discussion of the situation. There was
present 250 from Northield and fifty from
Pennington During the meeting some
one, supposedly a Republican, raised the
cry of Fire. no doubt for the purpose of
breaking up the meeting. but the interest
centering in the speaker held the audience
and no one left the rink.

the Pharisees were scandali2ed. Do the Re-
publicans also possess a monopoly OF virtue?

virtue. Virtue is in the mind aud heart.
The mind and heart are reached by suasion,

my love for truth, Justice and fairness-ali
these and more determine my ch 0ice for the

SALTWATER. Oct. 29.-Beyond all ques-

by any in the state. transpired here this
evening. and has served to fan the fires of
Democratic ardor, already burning with a
fervOr that has sent CONSERVATION into the

acquitted themselves so well that when the

was asked short time ago, why do you
remain Democrat when prominent eccesi
astics, formerly Democrats, labor now for
Republican success?" In reply l give the
following few reasons:
l. must reason Independently. In
matters OF religion Catholics love, respect and
obey their prists and bishops, but in politics
taey have neither priest nor bishop, as all
stand on an equality as citizens. A good theo-
Iogian may be poor politician, and MS word
weighs Only as much as Ii proves.
2. i have the welfare of the people Of
Minnesota at heart. In the north and
south and the west of this great state the
people groan under the oppression o. wheat
rings, nigh rates OF freight and untaXed do
mains of railroad land. One Republican
legislature and administration after another
gave promises of relief, but as often forgot
those promises. Could q change be possibly
worse? The Republicans prOphesied dis
astrous results for the country in the event
CLEvELAND'S ELECTION;
but Cleveland has made one of the best presi-
dents, and the Republicans are proven false
prophets. The ruin of Minnesota in the event
of Ames election is again foretold; but-we
know the prophets.
3. / have the welfare of my fellow
Catholics at heart. While j desire no favors,
bue simply equality of rights for all classes of
citizens, yet naturally look for acknowledg-
ment and protection there, where those who
share my faith are at home; and that is in the
Democratic party. The Republicans taxed
our parish houses, and smothered the blu in
troduced for our relief; and McGill is the
father of bill which taxes the property of all
benevolent societies OF the state excepting
the Free Masons and Odd Fellows. Is this
equality of rights?
4. / love consistency and fairness.

Speech
Special to the Globe.
LITcHrIELD, Mimi, Oct. 29.-This
evening the largest audience ever gathered
together west of the woods greeted Judge
j. L. Macdonald and Hon. j. w. Willis.
The meeting was presided over by A. d.
Ross to whose untiring efforts and ability
the cause of Democracy in this county
owes much of its success. Judge MacDOn-
aid upon being introduced acknowledged the
great compliment rendered him by
the people of Meeker county in turning out
so largely to hear him. He was glad of it
because he felt that he would be their next
representative in congress. and he wished
them to hear his views upon the great topics
which were of such paramount interest to
them and the whole body of the people in
the West. He then proceeded to combat
the arguments of C. K. Davis against the
present administration. This he did so
clearly that he was
APPLAUDED TO THE ECHO.
by his listeners Touching upon the mat
ter of pensions and pension vetoes, he
proved that President Cleveland demon
strated his good will toward the soldier by
granting more pension claims during his
eighteen months than President Grant did
during the whole of his regime. He also
showed the good will OF the Democratic
congress in passing over 800 pension bills
that had been disallowed by a Republican
commissioner of pensions. Ii has been
stated by Republican stump orators that the
Democrats in congress were opposed to
the admission OF Dakota into the
circle of states. This Judge Macdonald
conclusvely proved to be an untruth. The
great obstacles in the way OF ADHESION
were the secret opposition OF Republicans
and the internal dissensi0ns in the territory
itself. The high tariff men of the East are
afraid of the tariff forrerenue- only senti-
ment of the West, and
THE ADMISSION OF DAKOTA
would mean an additional strength to the
low tariff party MIR. Herbert's incOnsis
tency in claiming to be free trader while
standing on an avowedly high tariff plat
form was beautifully shown up,
and Mr.. Macdonald. from statistics
showed that while the government collects
annually in the neighborhood of only $780,
900, 900. the railroads collected some $780,
900, 600. and he asked his hearers if they
did not think it necessary to send men to
congress who would carefully consider rail-
way legislation as we'll as tariff legislation.
Mr.. Willis was well received, and his el0-
quent advocacy OF Dr.. Ames held his hear
ers spell-bound. AS he proceeded all the
charges against the generous doctor melted
away in effect as dew before the morning

accompanied by the OWatonna cornet band.
Citizens in carriages and on foot escorted
the doctor up town TO the opera house.

of the best classes in the city. The band
took seats near the stage and rendered
lively selection at the opening. Mayor
Ames was Introduced to the audience by
Hon. b. S. Cook. The doctor had but a
brief time to speak. but used it to advan-
tage. He said he had promised his party
when he accepted the nomination that he
would make it hot for the Republicans.
and he had done so. He was bitterly
opposed to rings, and said he was rather a
ring buster than ring maker. and spoke
of the large number of speakers who were
employed by the Republican managers.
and said he knew of instances where men
had gone to others and said that Ames was
a bad, bad man. and that these men were
given money and told to go out and work.
Here an enthusiastic old Democrat in the
audience put in: We'll pay 'em interest
on that money the I'd of November" The
doctor made many friends by his visit here.
He left Oh the O'Clock train for Faribault.
