The second ''grand rally' of the Repub-
Gcans at Harmonic hall last evening drew
out a large audience f. Il. BOardnan pre-
sided. and introduced William Window. the
big gun of the evening, whom. Judging
from his Introductory remarks, he regarded
with emotions of admiration and wonder.
William was evidently feeling rather bilious.
for he started Off by saying that the Dem
ocratic boom was on the wane, and that
the two principal causes leading to this very
desirable condition of affairs were the pres
ence of the Democratic candidate Tor gov
ernur in different parts OF the state and The
wide circulation of the ST. Paul GLOBE.

himself in bewilderng maze of statistics.
which he quoted in attempting to prove
Democratic extravaganza and Republican
purity and economy. One rather amusing
incident occurred when Window, standing
with one foot planted near the foot-lights
and hand in his bosom, asked: "W hat
has this Democratic administration ac-
cUmplished?' Some one in the audience
cried out, Given the workingmen their
rights" The house began TO show signs OF
alarm and manifested its disapprOval of the
interruption. but Window answered this
question by asking in return, ''What work
ingmen?' This was taken up as a sufficient
answer and appauded as keen witticism,
and Mr.. Window passed on to further
abuse of the Democrats and praise
of the Republicans. his remarks being viz
tually the same that he has incorporated Ill
his former OratOrical efforts throughout the
state. He denied that business was pros
pering, and said that in the northern part
OF tile state wheat brings only 80 cents
bushel, being apparently obllviOuS to the
fact that the low price of wheat is due to
Republican ring rule. he quoted some of
Edmund Rice's views Oh the tariff as an
excuse for unloading one of his campaign
of 1884 speecheS in defense of protection.
He did not believe in tariff for revenue

and modification OF the tariff" He referred

COL. PLUMMER,
the Dakota orator, who is making one
night stands throughout the state of Min
neSota in behalf of McGill, at $50 per
speech, was introduced and told some
funny stories and made some absurd COM
parisons that aroused the riSibiltieS of the
audience. The colonel also appeared to
have horror of the GLOBE, as he eX-
pressed the hope that he wouldn't be
quoted as advocating know-nOthingism be-
cause be considered dudes and anarchists

ceived. He recited in voice that was
probably inaudible to the greater part of
the audience. precisely the same speech (?)
