MANKATo, Mimi, Oct. 21.-Dr. Ames
md Judge Flandrau arrived in the city at
1910, and were met by large delegation
Of prominent citizens and a brass band.
They were escorted to The MankatO house,
after parade through the main streets.
About o'clock people began to throng the
streets, and bands of music were playing.
At the opera house one of the largest
political meetings was held that has
ever been known in this city. Senator
Wilkinson acted as chairman, and after
few remarks introduced Judge Flandrau.
In taking the stand the judge said he did
not come as a stranger, neither as polltl-
clan nor as an orator. but as an old friend
and settler. He came to this country
thrty-three years ago on an exploring eX-
petition, and liked it so we'll that he settled
here. He lived eleven years in st. Peter,
and never regretted it. He loved to come
back 10 speak. not for himself, but he had
been invited BY the central committee TO ac-
campanv the doctor. He left the political
ISSUES OF tn day TO be discussed by him. as
he was more familiar with them, having
spent a good deal of time in speech making.
He spoke OF the
PROGRESS MINNEAPOLIS HAD MADE
under Ames' administration. He had
known Ames since a boy. He knew OF
his life as a soldier. He entered as prl-
vate in the Ninth Minnesota and was
afterwards transferred to the Seventh Min
nesota. He did not believe what the Re-
publican papers are telling about him. 20
to Minneapolis, ask her citizens, ask the
Seventh Minnesota. ask the people OF st.
Cloud and Sank Center who they will sup
port, and it will be AmeS. A good deal
had been said about Mr.. Glenn. He is
an honest man and is fast gaining pop
ulanty. He is a leader OF men,
and he don't lead them with kid gloves.
The Judge spoke for some time on the pro-
tective tariff and temperance questions.
Senator Wilkinson then had the honor of
presenting DR.. A. a. Ames. the next COVER
nor. On taking the stand loud applause
for Ames rang through the hail. He said
he appeared tonight as the executive of
the great city of Minneapolis and, thanked
Mayor Carney and the people of this city
for the excellent manner in which he was
treated. He appeared as a candidate, hav-
ing been selected as the standard bearer OF
the Democratic party. He had been for
years in the minority. He referred to

the soldiers, giving them a home, and for
the Iaboring classes ami the farmers. The
Republicans We're obliged to adopt similar
blanks. He asked where, for twenty-SiX
wears, the IabUrerS and farmers were bene-
6ted by a single law. Probably they would
bring Cd the lien law. 1t was protection
for the lawyers and not the people. They
would bring up the railroad and warehouse
commission laws He had been told of a
recent trip of the wheat inspectors TO Du-
luth in a palace car. Gen. Baker had to
be cared for and was given the
fat Office of railroad commissioner. He had
the pleasure of serving with him III the
army until they got as far as the powder,
and then Baker turned back. AmeS spoke
of the attempt of the Republicans in the
Minneapolis council to impeach him be-
cause he accused them OF stealing money,
and they could not prove to be contrary.

A TOOL OF MONOPOLIES,

style of people. He believed McGill to be
an honest and honorable man, and would
not say anything about him that he would
not say to his face. He referred to his life
as a soldier. he being dismissed on account
OF sickness. He had been in the employ Of
this state for eighteen years, and was a
healthy man. As physician, he was OF
the opinion that public tat was good cure
for consumption. The Democratic party
had named as his support four of
THE GREATEST GENERALS
that had ever been placed around any
standard bearer, Rice, Wilson, Macdonald
and Balls He was confident of his election,
as the general appearance of the Republic
ans indicated it. They were alarmed and
senQing for speakers like Jim Blaine and
Logan. He was stumping the state and
speaking from two to five times day, and
had no moneyed men to back him or his as
sOciates. He came from Brainerd on the
train with Col. Pummer, of Dakota, who
was en- route to Minneapolis under contract
with Mr. PillSbury to speak III the state for
$50 per day and expenses. The Repub-
