miles OF railroad than all the countries
together. We make more, we produce
more, we consume more than England,
France and Belgium together. Our
commercial relations are sufficient to
keep the currency from danger of con-
traction.
But Grover Cleveland gets all his
votes from the Solid South, 153 votes
from the south of Mason &, Dixon,s line
ard the votes of New York city. Little
he cares for this great Northwest. You
must bear in mind that the West may
send "babies' to Congress, (Applause)
but in spite of all this, they carefully
and cautiously watch the interests of
their constituents; fully as well as the
statesmen of the East.
Cleveland is cunning man and by
his iniquitable policy hopes to bind the
Solid South more firm and make addi-
tons to his realm at the North, sufi-
Gent to retain him in power for anoth-
er term. He leads on party in a di-
rection opposite to the policy under
which this country became the most
prosperous in the world.
A short time before the adjournment
of Congress, practically Congress has
adjourned as have left, (Applause) we.
had the opportunity of seeing Growers
yetoing policy applied against Canada.
Well, think it collapsed.
I shall now take the liberty of intro
ducing to you our next Governor. In
doing SO, let me slate that he is under
obligations to the people of this state.
He is man who has felt that he is un-
der obligations to the people of this
state. He is a man with big heart,
and am glad to say that he is among
the republican fold. Mr.. Merriam was
the man who supported the bill reduc-
ing the interest from 10 to 8 per cent;
against his own interest. He is rich
enough to withstand temptation. It is
he, who is going to carry this state by
$4,000 majority. (Applause) Our next
governor, Mr.. Merriam.
1, Lind was frequently applauded dur
ing his speech and.is as much a favorite
of the voters of Brown County as he ev-
er was, and we predict for him a great
er majority than he received for Con-
gresham two years ago. In closing his
remarks he introduced as the next gov
ernor of the State of Minnesota, w. r.
MERRIAM.
This gentleman in his quiet and de.
liberate manner portraying the bust,
ness man in the full sense of the word,
and giving promise of an able execu.
tive, spoke principally on state topics,
proving by his remarks that he was
thoroughly acquainted with the affairs
of state, and cognizant of the needs oil
our great and prosperous community
Mr.. Merriam made very favorable
impression on his hearers, who exulting-
ly cheered him.
He spoke as follows:
MIR. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Judge from this evenings demonstra
ton that there is still some life left in
the republican forces of this city, and ii
seems to me that the feeling which sci
forth this evenings procession, is Of
sufficient weight to gladden. and cheer
and rouse the republican forces, SO as
to give a vote throughout the state such
as it has not had for many years.
Parties have records, and the republi.
can has one of its own a magnifcen:
one. (Great Applausel That there is
difference in the records Of parties,
and whether of our or another, the
choice is with the better and the polls

national campaign, is the one refer to

Cleveland, of Buffalo, will settle his ex.
ecutive account on Nov. 9th Applause
for the verdict of the people will be with
the stars and stripes and not with the
red bandana. (cheers and applause) Il
is the republican party that has kept the
Union together, it is the party that fur

it is, the party that dropped the shackles
from four million of slaves, it is the
party that has given the people the bene.

this the laborers praise most highly.

the powerful party in Congress, they

it, must he construed as being in the
interests of the South.
Minnesota is a state since 1860, and
eight Republican governors have been
elected successfully, who have honestly
and faithfully guarded the liberties OF
the people; they have established a
school fund of seven millions OF dollars
and furnished a prosperity to the state
which is unequalled by any one in the
Union. All under a republican admin.

it is managed IN the interests of all. Il

principles of good government. In
