night, was crowded to OVERLOOKING He was
welcomed with loud applause. Hon. p. H.
Lamb Was made chairman of the meeting.
After music by the band, DR.. Ames wss in
troduced. He expressed much satisfaction
at the large attendance. He had come sim
ply to tell the people what he would do If
elected governor, and thought all candidates
should declare their views as platforms were
not often remembered after the election. He
had not sought the nomination, but had &C
cepted II al the unanimous call OF the
party, and should do his best TO be elected.
He gave a humorous account of the Republi-
can convention controlled by the Pillsbury-
Langdon-Fletcher combination. He had been
after this wheat ring for years. They were
the bosses of the occasion. He dwelt forcibly
upon the demand of the Democratic plat
form for the erection of u soldiers home.
which he had insisted upon. AT d fair at
Minneapolis some one had presented the

giving Mr. McGill credit for valiant service in
the war. He WAS adjutanr at st. Peter one

found. The lien law WAS defective and the
railroad commissioners had failed to effect
anything more than to draw their pay and
have pleasant journeys in palace cars. The
Republicans have failed to legislate for the

THE WHEAT RINGS.
The producers are not getting their proper
share of the profit. The state is honey
combed with rings. DR.. Ame5 spoke with
enthusiasm Of the prospects of the campaign,
especially in the Fifth district. He
thought a revolution was in progress.

and stirring speech, urging the need or
organization. The meeting closed at late
hour with tremendous cheers for DR.. Ames
and the ticket. 4 blaze of party enthusiasm
