count. do all you can. know you all will
do all you can to see an honest count.
+. j. LAULOR.
The Germans no have spoken have done
well. Are we going to stand by and see
our rights tramped on and crushed? say
no. and if necessary we viii fight for our
right. Am sorry the money men have got
us by the throat. but | say we will stand by
A. A. Ames, the governor Of the state.
C. l.. LOCKE.
Can say nothing more than l
have. perhaps. | believe Mayor Ames is
elected governor. and l believe our entire
county ckeL is elected, with three eXcep-
tons. There has been fraud and we all
know it. The men who were indorSed by
the labOring men are elected and the truth
will some time come out. The Republ cans
at first admitted it, but now they deny it.
Why? Because tie returns have been
falSiiied The wOrkingmen have been
trampled upon, but the end has come and
we are going to have fair and just count.
We know we have elected Democratic
officials and we are going to investigate the
matter. My blood is hot tonight, and
am going to see that my rights are accorded
Inc in fair manner.
p. NORSTRUM.
am in harmony with all that has been
said. Nothing incendiary has been said.
and can say that | did not anticipate that
we would have to fight against fraud after
election. We have got to fight the fraud
that is being practiced against us, and we
are going to have the votes counted in an
honest manner. There is no question in
my mind but what DR.. Ames is elected
governor and we can prove it. Our state
| has gone Democratic, and the Republicans
know it. and are frying to change the
aspect by fIaud. Our votes must be
counted; the law says so, and the state will
see that they are. Every man must stand
| by and see his vote honestly counted. and
| they will be- Fraud has been pract:ced
and is still going on. The powers of capl-
tai and monopolies have been joined with
| the rings in depressing the people. Are
we going to submit to it? | have known
| DR.. AmeS since the war; knew him i'll the
| army, where he served until the close; he
was loyal, and thousands of men can tell
| you the same. The Republicans
| would have it appear that all
| Democrats are hoodlumS because they
are becoming frightened. The speaker
| dwelt for some time upon the necessity of
the laboring men having their rights, and
| was frequently interrupted by ringing ap-
| plauSe. He wanted to know what the
meeting of the Republicans in st. Paul was
| for. and answered 1t by saying that the Re-
| publican managers wanted time to doctor
| the returns so as to give the state over to the
| rings. The managers have been aiming
| everything. but they have not got it yet. as
| a fair vote and all honest count Will show.
| The figures set forth by the GLOBE were
| referred to as honest. and showing plainly
| on the face of them that A. A. AmeS was
| ahead. j, B. Giliillan was justly rtbuked.
| and if we get fair vote McGill and the
| ring managers will be also. We have the
victory. and we are going to keep it. am
| one of the men who Will LABOR 10 see the
ballots justly counted.
| Col Glenn then spoke few words, say
| ing that word had been received that the
| four counties yet to hear from could not
wipe out DR.. Ames' majority. This is why.
| he said. the appeal has been made to you,
and now You can rest assured that the bal
| lots will be guarded from fraud. l thank
| you all. and again | assure you that equal
| Justice will be done both parties, AT 10
o'clock we shall start out our men after the
rascals who are falsfying the returns. and
we will never rest until they are brought to
| Justice. When deaconS of the church get
| up and try to steal the state, it is time for
honest men to get up and look to our in
| terestS. The next time L meet you L hope
| it will be at Democratic ratification
| meeting.
At the conclusion of the meeting Ames
was again called for. and responded as
! follows: Il am tired out. l said when | be-
gan the canvass | would make it hot for the
rings, and 1 think have done so. and we
are not through yet. If Mr. McGH is
elected, I will be first congratulate him.
but if | am elected l will take my seat If
| it is necessary to follow the men who are
trying to commit frauds to states prison.
will do so. Thanking you kindly, l will
take my seat" The meeting closed with
cheers for Dr. AmeS.
