publican Frauds.
Special to the Globe.
BRAINERD, Mimi, Oct. 14.-Neyer be-
fore in the history of this city has such a
grand demonstration ever taken place as
occurred tonight. The freight train upon
which DR.. Ames arrived did not reach this
city until 7:30 p. m. When it; did grand
torchlight procession, headed by the Brain
erd City band, and having dozens of trans
parencies, all highly complimentary to our
next governor, escorted the doctor to the
Sleeper opera house amidst the greatest en-
thusiaSm. BOntireS were kindled along the
route, and it seemed as though the whole
city had turned out Ell masse to meet the
standard bearer of the Democratic party of
the state. Upon arrival there the band
played number of pieces, after which
George W. Holland. Esq, introduced DR..
Ames to the vast audience as the next gov
ernor of Minnesota. The applause was
simply deafening and continued for several
minutes. Upon quiet being restored, DR..
Ames commenced speaking and continued
for one aud half hours. He was fire.
quently interrupted with hearty applause.
He reviewed the Republican party and
proved to the satisfaction of the vast audi
ence. as was evinced by the lavish ovation
so frequently bestowed upon him, that
THE WHEAT RING,
the prison ring. the state capitol ring and
the Pillsbury- Fletcher-Langdon crowd con-
trolled and dictated the course of that
party, and that McGill was simply the tool
placed in nomination by them, to be used
as they saw lit if he should be elected. The
speaker conclusively proved that the Re
publican party was opposed to labor and
worked entirely in the interests of capital.
The ring mOnOplies of the state received
scathing rebuke, and the doctor pledged
himself when elected, to see that the
wOrkingmen, or the dinner-pail bri
gade, as he termed them, should
be placed in their true position,
and that the iron heel of monopoly should
be lifted from their necks. The speaker
next compared the two great parties, show
ing how the Republican party has degen-
Grated in the past twenty-five years until it
is full of corruption and stencil in the IS
trils of honest people. lie closed his re-
marks by alluding to himself as having en-
tered the ranks of the Democratic party as
a private, but now having attained the pO-
sition of major general, he proposed with
the help of the workingmen to
LEAD THE PARTY TO VICTORY.
That this is the greatest political gather
ing here goes without showing. The en-
thusiasm was beyond description, every
street leading to the opera house being liter
ally packed with pedestrians on their wav
to hear the great Democratic standard
bearer. Standing room was at premium,
and numbers left, being unable to find room.
1t is estimated by the leaders of the move
ment here. that hundreds of workingmen
who heretofore have voted the Republican
ticket will vote for DR.. AInes and clean
government on Nov. 2. The farmers par
ticularly who were present. speak in no
uncertain way. and openly assert this even
ing that their ballots will be cast for Ames.
