| I1shman ana who has no better friends in
| this city than the men in this hall. de will
| be the next governor of Minnesota-and it is
needless for me to tell you his name

! heard in any public building broke forth
and continued for some minutes. When
| the doctor stepped forward. 500 voices
rang out, ''Hurrah for Ames, our next
| governor" and again the cheering began.
AS soon as the noise had subsidized Mayor
Ames. in a few well-choSen words, highly
complimented the Irish citizens of Mime
apolis upon their patriotism, and pre-
scented Mr.. Daviit. who was received with
| deafening applause. Mr.. Davitt stepped
forward and said:

Ames, the executive of the city, and man
| whose heart and aand are always open to the
| oppressed and down-troddon. He comes moi
here to- night as the candidate for governor
but as the mayor, and by him L am proud tC
| be introduced.
Again the cheering for DR.. Ames began
and continued several minutes. Mr.. Davitt
then made substantially the same speech as
reported above in ST. Paul.
The audience fairly went wild as Mr..
Davitt finished and for five minutes the
cheering was 80 loud that it was hard to
| hear ones self think. After music by the
band, few remarks were made by other
| speaker. Thus closed one of the largest
and most enthusiastic Irish meetings ever
| held IN the Northwest.
