Reform.
Special to the Globe.
SHAKoPEE, Mimi, Oct. 16.-The county
dered Mayor Ames an ovation this evening
uneXcelled in this campaign. At o'clock
a torch-light procession formed on First
street and preceded by the Cornet band,
paraded the streets. About two hundred
torches were in line, together with count
less number Of Japanese lanterns and
large number of tranSparencieS, pro minent
among which were The Farmers and
Laborers Must Have Their Rights, Mac
Donald the Soldiers Champion. ''Ames,
the Laborers' Friend" "Old Scott, 1,500
for Ames." In front of Ries' opera house
a huge transparency was placed, inscribed
with .Ames for Governor, Macdonald for
Congress; Muster Into Service Proof OF
Soundness." Mayor Ames and John N.
Ives, candidate for attorney general, were
escorted to Refs opera house at 1880. Capt.
Charles A. Stevens acted as president
of the meeting and introduced the speakers
to the audience. Speeches were made by
Mayor Ames, John N. Ives, candidate for
attorney general. Arthur ID. Smith, of Min
neapolis Senator j. Peck and DR.. Daben-
icht. of New Prague, the latter being in
German. The speeches were elegant and
full of solid advice. The crowd enthusi-
astIcalIy cheered the speakers. The hall
was handsomely decorated and filled with
an enthusiastic audience, A large number
was present from Excelsior and farmers
from adjoining towns listened attentively
while Mayor Ames dissected the doings OF
the wheat rings. The crowd was happy,
jolly and full of enthusiasm, and although
old Scott is reliable at all times. this fall
will send her booming so far ahead for
Ames that no county in the state can dis
pute her title of being the banner Demo
cratic county in the state.

erected by the Democrats is suspended over
our principal street, bearing Ames' name.
AS the procession passed underneath it one
OF the McGill torch bearers raised his
torch and set it On fire. A cry of indigna-
ton arose from every side and instantly
crowd of both Democrats and Republicans
was on the spot to protect the Stars and
Stripes. The fire was extinguished but the
intent was there and shows the kind of
campaign methods resorted to by McGilPs
friends. The meeting at the court house
was largely attended, though not so many
were present as at the Ames meeting the
first of the week. A lack of enthusiasm
was conspicuous and the applause was only
heard when the strikers on the stage set
the example. McGill's speech was dry and
uninteresting. The last speaker of the lot,
Severance, was crowded to the last and he,
after three minutes speaking, tried to stir
up the crowd by singing Rally Round the
Flag" expecting the audience and band to
join. The attempt was fiat failure and
the meeting closed amid feeling of chagrin
at It's dismal lack of enthusiasm. McGil
made no friends.

sT. PAUL sWITCHMEN.
TheV are Quiet and a Few Trains
are Run -- The Police Hardly

are Run-- The Police Hardly
Needed.
Among the switchmen in st. Paul yes
terday no strikingly new features were de-
veloped. Police were sent to the Omaha
yards, in East st. Paul, in the morning,
but their presence was not needed, as the
strikers made no attempt to interfere with
the conductors and yardmaSterS, who were
endeavOring to do the work formerly done
by the swItchmen. A tour of the yards
yesterday afternoon showed that notwitl-
standing the stories Of the RAILROAD officials
as to everything being lovely and the trains
moving all right, but little was being done.
In all of the yards the yardmasterS, with
the help of conductors and helpers, were
busy at work, but practically nothing was
doing. The one switch engine in the Mil
waukee yard was guarded by two special
police, while another was attached
to a caboOse which contained
John A. HinSey, the detective of the road,
and other officials. In the Manitoba yard
one crew, consisting of the yardmaster and
two assistants. were at work. At $3.50
O'Clock the Burlington 81 Northern officials
teleDhoned police headquarters that they
desired to send train to the transfer, and
with it to prevent any trouble. Capt.
Bressette and detail of men went out with
the train, bnt on their return reported no
trouble and everything quiet. c. A. Brun-
son, superintendent of the union depot was
patr0lling the tracks yesterday afternoon,
but said everything was all right. None
of his men, ne said had struck, although
two had failed to show up. Yesterday
afternoon Mayor Rice, at the request of the
Superintendent of the Northern Pacific
railroad shops at Hamline, appointed fifty
Of the employees at the shops as special p0-
lictmen. The note FROM the Official relative
10 the appointment, said that it was feared
the strikers might Attempt to destroy prop
erty at the shops. A visit to the locality
late yesterday afternoon. however. indi-
Gated that there was not the least cause for
such apprehension. as none of the strikers
had been near the place.
A DULUTH ENG NE STOPPED.
At o'clock last night d switch engine
in the Duluth yards was boarded by seven
of the striking switchmen near Seventh
street and killed" or, in other words
raked out the fire. The yardmaster of the
road and an assistant, who were doing the
switchmen's work, were told to mind their
own business, and. after raking out the
fire, the men started off. One of them was
captured and held by a special policeman.
and word sent to the police station. Capt.
Bresette and Sergts. Rouleau and Lonell
and seven patrOlmen were taken to the
scene in the patrol wagon. At Fourth
street the police started up the track and
the special who had the striker in charge,
seeing the officers running, thought they
were a party of strikers coming
to rescue their companion and, to avoid
trouble to- MN to skip. The arrival of

if not dangerous complication, which i
will be well to avoid.
I'm Favor of Arbitration.

The executive committee of the Jobbers'
association held meeting yesterday morn
ing at which there were present j. T. Wy
man, chairman, and MeSSrs. Anthony
Kelly, A. NJ. C.erihew, j. G.. Eliel, ID. NJ.
Gilmore, G. Il. Miller and T. Is. Janney. The
meeting was Ike ,utive. but ii was learned
that the situation as between the railroads
and the Switchmen was discussed, and it
was the unanimous opinion that the rail-
roads should leave it to their patrons TO AZ
bitrate the present difficulty and not con-
tnue to stand out against the reasonable
proposition submitted by the men. Ii was
reported by the members of the committee
that the practical suspension OF traffic was
causing a most serious embarrassment TO
trade in all branches. The jObbers seemed
to be of the opinion that the railroads
should allow their men to return to work at
the former wages, and then submit the
question of a raise to an impartial COM
mittee.
T. j. LAWYER. who was chairman of the
Trade and Labor Assembly that waited
upon the railroad superintendent and gave
them notice of the demand OF the switch
men, says:
l feel certain that both the switchmen and
their friends among the LABOR organizations
are not only willing but DESTROYS that tins
difficulty should be submitted 10 arbitration.
The men are certain that their request was
only tair, and that abundant notice was
given. For this reason they viii have not
the slightest hesitancy in having the matter
passed upon by an impartial committee, to
consist of, say, two from the railroads and
two from the sNitchmen, the four to choose
a fifth. II this is done. am sure there will
be very little difficulty in coming to ar
amicable understanding.

Clough ordered thirty policemen sent to st.
Anthony junction to prevent strikers from
interfering with trains running to the Pills

charge of the force and explained to the
crowd of strikers, about one hundred in
number. that he was acting in accordance
with orders from Acting Mayor Clough, and
the strikers offered no interference what
ever. Supt. Egan made up two trains of
forty cars of wheat each. which went to
the Pillsbury A elevator and two trains of
about thirty cars each. containing flour,
were taken from the elevator. 1t is no

people from turning out. The desire to see
and hear Judge Wilson was very strong in
deed, and it is very plain to be
seen that he will poll a very
large vote here. A number of
prominent Republicans called at his hotel
during the afternoon and evening, and gave
him assurances Of their support. The OPP
position to Lovely is very pronounced here,
and he will be badly cut by the farmers.
Well-posted men here claim that Wilson
will hold Houston county about even, and
he may carry it by small majority. The
popularity Of Judge Wilson Is nowhere
more evident than here. Everybody speaks
good word for him, and Republicans who
are supporting him say they never saw
such friendly feeling in that party for a
man who is looked upon as Democrat.
There is no doubt that Judge Wilson is
gaining strength steadily, the policy of the
Republican managers to follow him up with
one OF their speakers having no effect at
all. Advices are to the effect that Gov.
Davis is doing Lovely no good. and that
his speeches have been very disappointing.
Those who have heard him deliver a care
fuily-prepared Grafton expected him to
make better showing. He has aroused
no enthusiasm. as was expected.
wilson Is certain to win. The
soldiers will not touch Lovely be-
cause of his Copperhead record. There
were scores of old, gray-headed farmers at
the meeting tonight. These are of the
class of people who cannot be affected by
the pleas OF the whippers-in. They will
stand solid against Lovely. Judge Wilson
is still suffering from hoarseness, which i'll
terferes with his usually effective delivery.
Judge Wilson's effort Thursday night was
very able one, though briefer than usual.
He did not refer to Window, but will pay
his respects to that gentleman in due time.
Senator Wilkinson made an eloquent and
logical speech, which was Justify applauded
He was in good form, and looked in his old
time way. Wilson has gained firm foot
hold in Caledonia and Houston county.
Judge Wilson has gone home to Winona to
take brief rest in the hope that his throat
will be relieved. Senator Wilkinson will

MoNTEvIDEo, Mimi, Oct. 16.-ThC
Chippewa County Commercial, Republican
paper, has the following in reference to the
Republican candidate for attorney general:
Mr.. Clapp devoted himself to the discus
sion of national politics during the first part
of his effort and was gaining the admiration
of his audience, when he suddenly turned
argument into abuse and commenced TRADE
against Mayor Ames. He said: II can sit in
my Office in that beautiful northern city and
keep still and be elected by $4,000 majority.
but am not after votes. l don't want to
keep still about Doc. Ames." He applied
such epithets as "Swaggering hummer"
etc., to the head of the Democratic ticket.
We are sorry that Mr.. Clapp should have so
little regard for the proprieties as to resort
to the invectives he used and we
can assure him and the Republican state
central committee that it will take about one
more speech of this character to carry Chip
pewa county for Ames.

this morning before all OF them left. Some
of those present said the men would not go
back TO work until their requests were COM
piled with by the railroad officials. They
were anxious to have it stated that the
strike here is not at the dictates of the
union, but is movement Oh the part of the
switchmen for what they deem a just re-
quest. They said that all regular switch
men were out, and the few trains that were
running were made up by men who were
not regular switchmen. They SAID they
wanted no violence, and would peaceably
wait until their demands were acceded to.

During the Day.

The situation at Minneapolis during the
day can be briefly summarized. The Man.
itoba road attempted to move some cars on
the East side to the Pillsbury mills. A
crowd of strikers Immediately surrounded
the train, and by uncOupling cars made it
impossible to get the train through. so that
attempt was given up in disgust. No at
tempt was made to move freight at the yard
on Third street north, and consequently
there was no disturbance or trouble. At
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis yards every
thing was quiet, and no attempt was made
to move freight. At the Milwaukee yards
freight was being moved under the guard
of the railroads police. A large crowd col
lected at the Sixth avenue crossing and con-
tinually ''guyed' the police. but during the
day no serious attempt at interference was
