A Rally i'm the Seventh.

The Democrats of the Seventh ward raj
lied in force last night at Libby's hall,
which was crowded with the faithful and
with those liberal citizens who were open
to conviction. The leading speech of the
evening was made by L. p. Dwyer, the
nominee for alderman. He is. when
aroused, very fOrcible speaker and carries
conviction with him. In the first place. he
diSsipated SANDER circulated by Republi-
can papers, that he was railroad employee
and that he would work for the interests of
the railroads. The body of the address was
devoted TO city affairs, which he discussed
with intelligence and ability. The impress
sion that he made. which was strong one,
was that the Seventh ward would be in
good hands when he was sent to council.
Col. NJ. w. Glenn and other speakers fol-
lowed and made decided hits in showing
up the mockery of the present reform
administration. The meeting adjourned
with cheers for the Democratic ticket

candidate, DR.. Ames. This proposition
elected cheers. He then referred
to his letter in Sundays GLOBE and
referred TO the four days interview with
Charles A. Pillsbury, in which he had EN-
deavored to induce the speaker TO make a
specific denial of the same, eliminating in
Pillsbury'S letter in the Journal. Mr..
Harbitz illustrated his address with
anecdotes which were not without
telling effect. He also addressed his
fellow-countrymen in his native tongue,
and the effect was magical. The enthusi-
asm scarcely knew bounds and as DIR.
Ames walked to the street me was cheered
to the echo, and the eagerness with which
the Scandinavians sought TO shake hands
with him evinced the fact that their hearts
are in the right spot.

AGAINST FOREIGNERS.
Mr. PiIIsbury's KnOw-Nothingism
His Contempt for Foreigners.


His Contempt for Foreigners.
The Pillsbury managers have made a
great play to catch the foreign-born voters
of Minneapolis, and since the campaign
opened have increasingly protested that
Mayor Pillsbury loved Scandinavians with
love that knew no bounds. TO show how
utterly hollow this is and to fully set forth
the contempt in which Mayor PillSbury
holds the naturaliZed citizen. it is only
necessary 10 quote from his record. On
Tuesday, Oct, -, 1885, Mayor Pillsbury
delivered an address of welcome 10 the
Woman Suffrage association at the Church
of the Redeemer. The Pioneer Press of
Wednesday, Oct. IA, reported his address
as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, am glad in behalf
Of the city of Minneapolis TO extend to you a
cordial welcome to our city. When you con-
slider the age of our city, that thirty years
ago there was nothing here, it may seem
strange to see a city of 100000 people. We
are glad to see our friends from the East to
show them what the West can do. We may
not ali OF us agree with you, yet we recognize
the fact that some of the greatest and best
minds in the country are engaged in this
work. Applause.
] have never identified myself with your
organization, but wish you godspeed and
stand with the men at the polls. They GER
tainly have as good a right at the polls as
hundreds who come to us from foreign
shores and sell their votes at 81 q head. /
know and speak for the city of Minneapolis
when heartily welcome you TO our hearts
and homes and assure you of a warm recep
don.
The Tribune reported the same speech as
follows:
Mr.. Folke gave way when his honor was in
troduced, who was greeted 10y cheers as he
mounted the platform. He was glad on be-
half of the city TO extend a cordial welcome
to the association When he remembered
that thirty-fve years ago Minneapolis was an
Indian reservation appended 10 Fort Smelling
it seemed considerable strange that this
should be selected as the place for such a
convention. However, he was particularly
glad to see this body. If not all Minneapolis
could agree they they were becoming converts
fast enough, and all could at least recognize
the fact that some of the best minds of the
age are at work for the cause He CERTAINLY
HOPED FOR THE TIME WHEN ALL INTELLI-
GENT.wOMEN SHOULD OBTAIN THE BALLOT,
AND COULD SEE No POSSIBLE REASON IN
LAWS WHICH PERMIT THE MOST IGNORANT
AND DECEASED FOREIGNER PRIVILEGE WHICH
IS DENIED TO OUR MOST INTELLIGENT AND
LOYAL WOMEN.

WASHINGTON. April lon the reports
of special agents of the interior department
to the effect that j. G. Calhoun of Mobile,
Ala, and James F. Bailey of Slidell, La,
with other parties have procured the entry
of public lands in Tammany parish, La,
for the purpose of using the pine timber
thereon for the manufacture of turpentine,
criminal suit has been advised through
the department of justice on the ground of
conspiracy to detraud the government, it is
alleged that the parties entering these lands
have boxed nearly 80, 900 pine trees, from
which more than 10000 barrels of crude
pine gum has been taken, which was man
ufactured into 81, 900 gallons of turpentine
and 10000 barrels of resin. 1t is also al
legged that the law as to residence and Gull
tivation has not been complied with, and
that as soon as the trees have been made to
yield all the gum of which they are capa-
bic. in consequence of which they die, the
land is abandoned as worthless.

FOOLISH HOWL.
The Republican Papers are Trying
To MisleRd the Boobies.

The old Republican war-whoop is again
heard. Instead Of preserving the fruits
of the war;" the rallying cry is ''save high
license and the patrol limits. Now, don't
the boobies know that the mayor has moth
ing to do with either? Don't they know
that George A. Pillsbury is not the author
of either one or the other? The council of
the city, composed of twenty-four alder
men, do the legislating while the mayor
does none. They made the present
license and the patrol limit. and
they doubtless will continue to to take care
of them. The license may be raised or
lowered. the patrol limit may be extended
or restricted. but whatever is done will be
done by the council and not by the mayor.
The Republican reformers knew all this
well enough, but they prefer to humbug
the balance of the boobies and so keep up
the cry that DR.. AmeS will endanger the
license and patrol. Humbug, thou art
mighty still in our day.

THE INvIDIOUs OPPOSITION.
Another Campaign Chestnut Run
Down and Nailed.

Down and Nailed.
1t was genuine boomerang that the
Tribune published yesterday, and 1t will
react on Pillsbury with telling force. 1t
was in what purported to be an interview
with Prof j. G. Moore of the state uni
versity, an Old-time Democrat. Prof.
Moore was met in the Democrat head
quarters yesterday, and he said:
1 wish You would deny that alleged inter-
view with me in toto. / have not met a
Tribune reporter, and consequently have not
been interviewed. / wish 10 say that the
whole thing is false. / have never said the
Democrats were to organize a faction TO
oppose DR.. Ames, and, SO far as my knowl-
edge goes, there is no movement to that end.
You can make a specific denial, and make it
emphatic.
AS Hon. Z. NJ. Wilson's name was
coupled with the pretended interview. a
GLOBE reporter called upon that gentleman
and found him busily engaged in legal mat
tiers in his Office.
Il had not read the interview" replied Mr..
Wilson, in evident surprise, to the reporters
question. You can say in reply that there
is not word Of truth in the statement that
meeting is TO be held in my Office for the pur-
pose OF organizing an anti-Ames Democratic
club, and as to Mr.. LawTence's connection
with such an arrangement say that MIR. Law
renee is in New York attending law suit
that has been pending for some time"
And so another Tribune campaign lie
has been nailed. What will they fOist next?
1t would seem as though their catalogue
of threadbare campaign chestnuts must be
nearly exhausted.

Holmes Wheat Deal.

The failure of Capt. II. W. Holmes did
not in any way affect the various firms and
companies in which he held stock. as his
losses were all on his individual account.
The firm of E. Holmes & Co., in which he
had an interest, is possessed of large means,

well-known capitalist, and were able to paw
all claims on them without delay. They
will continue the grain commission business
as heretofore. handling no option business
whatever and will undoubtedly increase
their business, already one of the largest in
the city. The Sidle, Fletcher, Holmes
company, in which Mr.. Holmes was a
stakeholder, was in no way affected by his
failure. His partners, who are all wealthy
men, purchased his stock. and he will un-
doubleday continue his active connection
with the concern as soon as he has taken

cases, while the speaker was mayor, he posi-
lively refused 10 sign licenses for
saloons to be located near school houses

when required by mandamus. The speaker
brought up the question OF retrenchment,
which the administration points TO with pride
and explained that the taxation had never
been so heavy during the history of the city,
and expenses had only been met by bonding
the city heavily.
Mr. HarbitZ was the next speaker. He
was greeted with a round of applause. He
referred to Pillsbury's two-dollar-a- head
allegations. and said it was time for the

A COMPARISON.
Minneapolis Under Democratic and
Republican Administration.

Republican Administration.
Within the past fourteen years We have
had three Democratic mayors, namely,
Eugene Wilson, Capt. Merriman and DIR.
Ames. During this time there has also
been three Republican mayors, namely,
George A. Bracket, j. NJ. DE Laittre and
George a. Pillsbury. In the meantime.
however, occurred the two terms of Mayor
Rand, once elected by Republicans and
once by Democrats. And as his admins
trations were rather of the broad gague
character, we leave them out of the present
consideration. Now, we are perfectly will
ing to compare the administrations
of mayor. Merriman and Ames with those
OF Bracket De Laittre and Pillsbury. The
former were characterized by high-minded
and honorable treatment of all classes and
interests, and accordingly it was then that
we had the greatest prosperity and best
feeling. The Republican administrations
were one and all mere efforts at being
gOody good. Wilson. Merriman and Ames
gave US our present improvements in fire
organization, police improvement, bridges.
sewers, paving and the like. 1t was then
too orr taxes were the ligbtest, for there
was no jobbery or looSenesS. Yet strange
TO say every Democratic mayor was held up
as publican and sinner by the Opposi-
ton. Give us Democratic mayor if you
want good government and good times.

Complaint of the Employees of the

The Trades and Labor assembly, at its
meeting tonight, will look into the re-
ported treatment accorded the employees of
the Minneapolis Bottle Manufacturing COM
pany, which has its factory at the corner
of Thirty-eghth avenue and Twenty
seventh street south. The complaint is
that the company, after employing men on
a contract which states specifically how
and when they shall be paid for their labor,
has been in the habit of paying off in
checks on the Security bank, payment of
which have been refused. No checks for
March have been issued, and ON Sat-
urday the eighteen employees were
summarily discharged. Most of them
hold checks for their February pay, which
they cannot get cashed. Another complaint
is that the company has refused to recOg-
niZe orders given upon stores for goods, and
has otherwise mistreated the men. An at
tOrney has been employed and suits will be
instituted to recover the amounts due the
men, and the Trades and Labor assembly
in addition will probably take steps to Sc
cure their rights for Them

Harbitz Demands the Proof.


In last nights Journal appeared a card
from Charles 4. Pillsbuay. 1t was a char
acteristic card, inasmuch as it attempts to
disprove charge of bribery by certain ale
cations, Or in a measure, sort Of counter
charge. In addressing himself TO Mr.. Har-
bitZ, the author Of the famous letter pub
lshed in Sundays GLOBE, Mr.. Pillsbury
says in that insinuating way for which he
is noted:
now ask you to publicly state if you have
the remotest proof that the man who APP
preached you in the interest of Mayor Pills
bury was authorized by him or any of his
friends, to do so; and also ask you to state
publicly if the reason why you have not been
willing to retract your charges is not because
DR.. AInes has promised you position in the
city government in case Of his election. If
you deny this latter fact will undertake to
produce the man who has heard you say so,
aud require no detective to find him, and
when found no one will doubt his word. and
this will leave the matter to a simple ques-
ton of veracity between you and DIR. Ames,
as I understand that DR.. Ames denies that he
has made any promises of positions in case
of his election. Now please do not forget to
state whether you have not so stated, as
would not for the world do any injustice to
DR.. Ames, and such statements as you have
made as to his promising you an Office leave
him in an equivOcal position.
Mr.. Harbitz had intended to have started
for Chicago last night. owing to the illness
of his wife who is visiting friends there.
but when he read the above he reconsidered
the matter and determined TO remain here
and hurl the inSinuationS back into the
teeth of their author. Mr.. HarbitZ's letter
as well as subsequent explanations pub
liShed in these columns, have been courte-
Gus and gentlemanly and he feels that the
implications cast at him by Mr.. PillSbury
are unwaTanted. He has never asked for
an office, nor would he accept one under
any circumstances. His business as a
broker is of more value to him than would
be any Office in the prerogative of a mayor

has never asked for any position and l have
given him no promises. Furthermore have

relative TO any Office whatever. You NAV
