and score of other gentle
men from st. Paul and Mime
Opolis arrived in this village at 5 o'clock
this evening to participate in the grand
rally i'll behalf of the Democratic ticket
from Cleveland to Rice. The demon
stration proved the most enthusiastic
that has yet been held i'll Wright
county. The torehlight procession num-
bercd LOCO men, twO-thirdS being
farmers from the surrounding
neighbOrhOOd. Two bands led the pro-
cessiOn, which escorted Congressman
Rice through the brightly illuminated
streets, and the enthusiastic cheers
which swelled upon the air told i'll forci-
BILE tones the esteem in which Ed
mund Rice is held by the farmers of
this c~unty. Fully half an hour
before the procession reached the
city hall. 1t was filed to overfowing
with 600 enthusiastic advocates of tariff
reform. Fully 500 people clamored OH
. the outside for admission. but were un
able to force All entrance. For this rea-
son it was necessary to hold ali open air
meeting on the public square. In the
hall Congressman Rice spoke for
some time upon the tariff. and
was warmly applaudcd by the large
number of farmers present. MI. Rice
closed by paving glowing tribute to
the state ticket, referring to Hon.
Eugene Wilson as "a man who has
filed every position IN which he has
been tried, with distinction and ability"
He called upon the people to stand by
tine entire Democratic ticket from
Cleveland down.
MAYOR A3IES.
DIR. ARies delivered short address,
after which he spoke at the outdoor
meeting. Senator Durant followed with
astirring appeal for Rice and the state
ticket, abiding to Mr.. Wilson as the
peer of any candidate before the
people, He would say 10 word
against Mr.. Merriam's record-for
the reason that lie had none.
Hon. C. II. Benedict spoke before both
meetings, at each of which he deliv-
cred an able and stirring address. His
reference to Congressman Rice and Eu-
gene Wilson was cheered to the echo.
Capt. NJ. J. O'COnnor spoke as a Demo-
crat and soldier, and his speech was
one that stirred the old veterans resent
to the. widest enthusiasm. AID. Waunen
spoke briefly upon the tariff, after a
lengthy address at tife open air meeting.
Rice will poll much heavier vote i'll
this portion of Wright county than two
years ago. Notwithstanding the active
canvass being made by his opponent.
An Ovation to the Next Governor
Special totlIe Globe
BRAINERD, Mimi. Oct. 29.-Hon. En-
gene NJ. Wilson and MIR. Shadrick, state
organizer of the Knights of Labor. were
given an ovation here to-day and to-
night. The distinguished standard
bearer was met by large crowd on ar
rival, led by the reception committee.
Mayor Hempsted, J. ii. koop and S. F.
Alderman. After dinner the visitor
was taken about the city and through
the Northern Pacific shops. where he
he was cordially received, and
as result there was great
out-pouring of laboring men
in the evening. The torchlight parade
was the largest ever seen in Bralnerd.
1t was led by eX-Chief Of Police Mertz,
and was most enthusiastic throughout.
Many prominent places were illumin-
ated, while a mighty bonfire lighted
the crowd that filled the opera house to
overlooking. The transparencies car
ried in the procession fully proved that
the masses were engaged in the cause,
especially the labOring and shOpmen.
Mr.. Wilson spoke first and eXhauStively
on the subject uppermost in the minds
of the people of this part of the state,
viz: the tariff. He had a magnificent re-
ception from house packed to the doors
and made an impression sure to show
big results. Mr.. .Shadrick's coming
was most fortunate. as his organization,
the Knights of Labor, is very strong
here, and to-night's demonstration
shows that they are overwhelmingly
with the Democracy. As straw, it is
stated that the city band, which stood
two Democrats to twenty-five Republi-
cans, is just reversed, and Eugene Will
son will get all but two votes. 1t now
seems probable that Wilson will sweep
this county clean this year.
Working for Canning.

ST. CLOUD, Oct. 29.-The absurd re-
mark has been made that nothing is be-
ing done to further the election of
Charles Canning in this county. Said
prominent and we'll informed man to
the GLOBE reporter to-day:
Canning will receive at least from 500 to
