"Under the ballot of the Afri-
can, male and female, the South
would be blOtched with dens and
dives. The platform of Fisk de-
mands female suffrage. That
would wipe out local option in the
South and relegate city and coun-
ty TO the despotism of the demi-
John. In the mean while Fisk
stands no chance of an election.
If a Republican votes for him he
votes in fact for Cleveland; if a

he adds a vote to Harrison.-ChriS

Viewed in the light of Society's

Many of the early years of lie are
absorbed in learning, and but few
remain in which decided services
can be rendered. Every wear well
spent brings accumulated knoWl.
edge, power and exper
ence 10 enrich these services,
and each should, therefore

joy a vigorous and valuable old
age. Moderation, Temperance, a

senllals. The best possible care
of the physical system, which i'm.
plies a better knowledge of the
laws of our own being than most
of us now possess, is requisite. The
continued interestin honorable OC'
cupations and good causes which
will not wear out, If they are pur'
sued with discretion and wisdom,
contributes largely to the value
and happiness of old age. More
than all, a good life where sin is re-
sisted and virtue cultivated, where
wisdom is stored up and Jolly ban
ished, where benevolence and love
reign and malice and hatred are
driven away, IS the foundation Of
a valuable old age. Bodily
strength may decline, but the pn'
rity, The wisdom, the experience
will remain to benefit society ma
manner and to n degree that can
flow from no zeal of yOnth or en-
ergy of middle lite. Cicero sums
up The whole when he says: Lille

one unvarying way; each age mas

and cTOWding the rear aiSleS. Quite

and left before the meeting ended, and
those who stayed throughout went out
with blue noses ana cold feet as relies.
But II did ones heart good to see that

NO COMBINATION.
Hon. w. p. Murray Advocates the
Straight Ticket,

Il don't believe that Minneapolis is
the metropolis of the Northwest. as my
friends have stated, said Hon. w. p.
Murray, of st. Paul, on being intro
duced. Il always thought that st. Paul
had some claims in that direction, but
if that is not a fact do not think it is
right to ask US farmers to come in here
and address you. The farmers do not
run your city. The trouble is that you
allow them too"
But you have no Deacon Nettletons
in st. Paul, remarked one of the gen.
tlemen on the stage.
No. we have not, " replied the speak
er, when we get any such men in st.
Paul we ship them down the river or
send them OFF on some foreign mission.
Now, the statement that L have formed
a combination with Bill Merriam is
false in every particular. What you
Minneapolis people want to do is to
vote the straight Democratic ticket and
down the capitalists and mOnOpOlists
who are fast crOwding in on you, and
making you do more work for less
money. don't believe that Sam Snider
and Bill Merriam can buy your votes,

EMBEZzLEMENT CHARGE.
A Church Pillar Held to Answer
Serious Charge.

Samuel Potts, formerly secretary and
treasurer of the Minnesota Mutual Ben
eft association, and leading light in
the Church of Christ, was arrested and
arraigned in the municipal court yester-
day afternoon on charge of embeZZling
$500 from the association. He was
placed under s., 900 bonds to appear this
morning and stand examination. IL IS
charged that last March, when q. Z.
Maxwell was elected secretary in the
place of Mr.. Potts, Potts was not pre-
pared to turn over the funds in his pos
session. The funds, some $1,000, still
remain in Mr.. Potts possession, but he
refuses to account for the $500. Some
of the association money is on deposit
in the National Bank of Commerce in
Mr. Potts name, and the bank has been
garnished. The complaint against Mr..
Potts was sworn out by E. B. Trubey,
the general manager of the association.

TWO JUDGES
Who Fire the Democratic Heart
in Conclusion.

Judge Rand was most cordially re-
ceived. He brought down the house by
stating that Capt. Babb must have
moved his ice house in the neighbour
hood OF the rink, judging from the
amount of cold which was coming in
the window. He thought, he said. that
the ticket selected by the Democratic
party was one which could be depended
on. p. B. Winston was man who had
done as mnch for the labOring men in
the Northwest as any man in the world.
He was the first man who ever gave
me work" said Mr.. Rand. land then it
was to 90 out with a shovel i'll my hand.
He is fair employer, and would to God
there were more like him. Then there
would be fewer strikes. and if you were
sick for half a day you would not have
a quarrel on your hands over the fact.
In closing allow ME to thank you most
cordially for the courtesy you extended
to me during my absence from the city.
If / am elected you may rest assured
that l Will do all in my power to do your
bidding. We must nOtunderestimate our
competitor in this conflict, and must do
all in our power TO carry our ticket"
Judge j. B. Quinn was the next and
last speaker. He was glad to be present
at the opening of the campaign. and he
was glad to see so MANY representative
Democrats present. for it meant victory.
In closing, he said he hoped that every
laboring man, and every man who had
the interests of the people at heart,
would vote the straight Democratic
ticket. The meeting closed with three
rOusing cheers for the Minneapolis

FOR THE PEOPLE.
Hon. f. d. Durant Talks for the
Ticket

Ticket.
Hon. E. D. Durant, of Saltwater, was
next introduced. He came TO address
the meeting, he said, because he be-
lieved in pure Democracy, such as the
Democrats of Minneapolis represented.
He took up the speech made by Mayor
Ames and showed how every sentiment
advanced was correct in every particu-
lar. Il was a laboring man once my
self" he continued, land L believe now
as l did then that if a labOrIng
man is going to have his condition
bettered he has got to better it him
self" The speaker next took up the
question of capital and showed how it
was all centralized in the East, it hav-
ing gone there from the Northwest, and
then come back here in the shape of
mortgages, which was plaStered down
on the farmers and labOring mems
homes and furniture He was glad to
see that 2. b Winston had been nOmi-
mated for mayor, he said, as
he was the peer of any liv-
ing man. He wanted to see the
entire democratic ticket elected. from
top TO bottom, as ali the nominees were
men i'll whom the utmost trust and con-
hdence could be placed. Mayor Ames
has asked you to vote for his friend
when he shall step aside. and, if you
know DIR. Ames as L do, you will do it
cheerfully. In closing l will say that
Democracy is now nearer its true mean
iug-the people than ever before.
