portion of Gilflan's own party would support
Mr. Rice. Although Mr.. Normandin's speech
was such that great enthusiasm was created
IL was lengthy. and part of the audience
trled TO cry him down, but he was allowed to
go on until he had spoken nearly half an
hour, when the chair then cut him off.
AsPEECH BY JUDGE FLANDRAU.
The chairman then introduced Judge
Flandrau as a man who had done distln-
| guished service ON the bench and on the
frontier. Judge Flandrau said 1t made him
| feel young again to see the enthusiasm III
| this campaign. 1t was the first one in
| twenty-five years when the Democrats had
| started out with the idea of winning. But
| since Ames' nomination the Republican
| press had said he represented everything
that was bad. The speaker knew different.
as he had known Dr.. Ames since he was a
| boy. The candidate for governor inherited
his Democracy and had always been cap
! tain of men. Look over his record and see
| if he should be supported. When the war
broke out he went to the front at once. If
you want his record, go to the men who
served with him and they will
tell you they want their old surgeon for
governor. Go to the cyclone
stricken district and ask them who they
want tor governor and they will tell you
''Dr. Ames." L don't call him saint, or
Mayor Rice a saint, or anybody saint, but
with all this outcry about a wide-open
policy that city has. under his adminstra-
ton, marched on to prosperity more mag
niticently than any other in North Amer
lea. You can't help some bad elements in
any big city. But do as these two gentle
men have dOne-suppresS them as much as
you can and make the most out of the vices
| OF humanity. There is not a village in New
! England which presents more orderly ap-
| pearance on Sunday morning than st. Paul.
These vices have never been better handled
in any city in the world than by these two
mayors now before u.s.
The chair then introduced G. P. Duffy
as the representative of the great lever
which moves the world, the press. He
took for his text. Il shall vote the Demo-
cratic ticket from the head to the bottom"
GEN. JOHNSON
was then introduced. and was greeted with
tremendous applause. He alluded to the
charges of Righteousness made against
| Cleveland at the last presidential election,
which rebounded on the Republican candi-
date. The same charges had been made
against AmeS, and he had gone to Mime
apoliS to inquire into DIR. Ames' character
ahu was told by Presbyterian elder-they
never lie-that Anes was painted blacker
than he was. Gen. johnson said he came
away from Minneapolis with pretty good
opinion of DR.. Ames.
COL. O'LEARY.
Col. T. O'Leary, candidate for clerk Of
the supreme court, was introduced, and
spoke of the new definition for Irishmen-
hog trotters'-which had been applied as
SANDER to Democratic leaders by Republi-
can speakers. Ii man of the intelligence
and business sagacity of Mr.. Kelly was a
bog trOtter, then the speaker would like to
be one of the same kind. He spoke of
knownothingness, which had been the policy
of the old Federalist party and the Repub-
lcan party since-to keep foreigners from
enjoying the privileges awarded them by the
Democrats. He said when he landed in
New York in 1862 the bog trOJters'' were
respected. When he patroIed his post and
called Corporal of the guard. Post 2,
every repetition of it until it reached the
guard house had the brogae of the bog
trotter." Even the corporal when chal-
Ienged had the brogue Of the bog trotter."
In Il e battles of the war where the rebels
were deafeated, they lay dead in heaps
the ''bog-trotters. After the battles when
the roll was called the names OF many bog
trotters" We're missing. Ethan Allen, Stark
and McDOnOugh were ''bog-trOtterS. "
Mollie Pitcher was the wife of bog
trotter," and when again came the call to
arms the "bog-trOtterS" would join in de-
Tense of the flag always loved by Irishmen.
All the evening between the speeches
there had been cries for Crooks" and the
chairman introduced the gallant
COL. CROOKS,
of the Sixth Minnesota infantry. He said
that his friend, Mayor Rice, would not only
represent this district in congress, but
would represent the Democracy of the
United States in congress. The Demo-
cratic party of this state was pledged to
tariff reform, and the Republican party had
LEVIED war taxes for twenty-five years after
the war closed. He Endorsed the sentiment
of Mr.. Blaine, who said that the Republi-
can party was nothing if it was not the
party of prOtection-it was nothing if not
relieved from this onerouS and vicious taxa
ton which was making the people poor.
TApplause Mr.. Gillian was not in
dorsed by the Republican party-he was
outside his party. The Pioneer Press did
not indorse him, and the Tribune claimed
the Pioneer Press was outside the party.
The chair said that the speakers who
were now to speak represented the young
Democracy. The old ones had been heard,
and he now introduced John II. Ives. He
reviewed the history of the Republican
party showing that it had outlived its use
fulness. When the Democrats gained con-
troll OF the government in 1884 MIR. Blaine
foresaw nothing but bloodshed and trouble.
but the acts of Grover Cleveland
HAD GIVEN THE LIE
to the words of Blaine. DR.. Ames was
nominated, not as the pet of any politician
or any set of politicians, but the pet of the
people Ames was making pilgrimage
through the state. unaccompanied by the
agent of any corporation, and when he
talked to the people there came from their
threats a yell Of victory.
E. III. Wood, candidate for representa-
tive, was the next speaker, and related his
experience with DR.. AmeS in the army
and of the latterS magnanimOuS action at
the time of the cyclone. Mr.. Wood spoke
of the candidates ON the county ticket
seriatim, enumerating their good qualities
The name of each one ELECTED applause
from the audience. OF his own district he
promised TO carry the Sixth ward by 600
majority. In the Second ward the Repub-
leans had adopted methods that were dis
graceful. insinuating them by the use of
money. and had even offered brides to the
speaker to withdraw in favor of Mr.. Mer-
riam. That gentleman said he would spend
any amount of money to obtain the
election. Mr.. Wood said he was not run
ming against Mr. Merriam's money, but
against HIM on his record.
THE LAST SPEAKER,
Daniel w. Lawler, the last speaker of
the evening, was introduced as the one who
seconded the nomination of Mayor Rice
for congress. He thanked the audience for
the applause which greeted him, partlcu-
larry because he represented the young De-
mocracy of the United States who in 's4,
