a new party had been formed in Minneap-
oils. He had been elected three times by
the far-famed dinner-pail brigade. Re-
peated applause He had said in his ac-
ceptance speech before the convention that
he would make it warm for the RsDubli-
cans, and he was doing it. too. Tremen-
dous applause. He had never left Min

ferent localities in the state, in order to
secure men to the convention who were
favorable to their interests. Why, he had

out the gang three times in Minneapolis
and wanted to have one more Whack at
them this fall. Continued applause. He
asked the Democratic convention to insert
a plank concerning home for the old

took action, when the Republicans had to
follow suit or trump. He had also re-
quested that the convention insert plank
to repair as far as possible the wrongs done

that another be inserted to secure the
farmer his rights. The Republicans de-
served no credit for bringing these issues
before the people. They were forced to
bring them. Ii he had to secure the Office
of governor by vilifying and mudsl singing,
he would never get it. He believed Mr..
McGill to be perfectly honest man. and
to keep him honest he asked the people
to keep him at home, for if he got into the
hands of the Minneapolis wheat ring he
would not be honest long. He claimed that
to-day there is ring around the state house
at st. Paul, another around the states
prison. both powerful enough to dictate q
governor, and combined they were powerful
enough to defy the people of this state.
Send worthy senators to the legislature and
a man of whole cloth to the United States
senate and let Minnesota be tbs example
for the world. Mr.. McGill has net money
enough to hire three lawyers to 90 around
and speak for him.
