continued with increased vigor to-day. and
the rumors set afloat on Saturday that the

to influence the election were revived again
to-day, and were evidently well grounded.
The outlook in WinOna county tonight
for Judge Wilson is certainly very
flattering, and in every town
assurances are given that he will run far
ahead of his ticket. The Republicans held
their last meeting tonight, Ex-senator
Window being the speaker. 1t was eXten-
sively reported that Window would deliver
his abusive speech on Judge Wilson, and
the curiosity of the people to hear the gen.

a large audience. He was introduced by
Hon. A. W. Yale, who started in with

for the German vote and the support of the
knights of Labor. and then began TRADE
against Kelly and Doran. Mr.. Window
commenced by referring TO his twenty-five

himself principally to local questions, and

and then went on to say what he would do
if he was president, trying to make point
by telling how many pension bills he would
sign if he had the chance. Then he reached
the labor question, and endeavOred to draw
the sympathy of the labOrng man to the
Republican nominee for congress, by say
ing that the Republican party was the first
and only true friend of the labOrng man.
He dWelt somewhat upon the question OF

which formed the text for the next hour
and a haf'S talk. He referred to the
charge that he did not pay his taxes. He
said that he had but little taxable personal
property. as nearly all his property was in
real estate. Furthermore, he never owned
but one bond in his life, and never had any
interest in any railroad stock. He eX-

would wait until they had left. At this
