Be His Successor.
"Who said DR.. Ames would not be
heard in this campaign" demanded
Chairman FOote as he introduced the
mayor. who was received with applause.
Il am somewhat unaccustomed to
public speaking of late" he said. and
it is nearly two years since my voice
was raised in defense OF the principles
OF the people. l have been in i'll
health. but / am Just as strong of heart.
and the good principles l stood
for then are lust as strong
as ever. l am called out tonight
to one of the pleasanteSt duties of
nv life and | am here to respond.
Three times l have been elected MAYOR
OF Minneapolis, and thanks TO nobody
but the wOrkingmen. Cheers 1t is
exceedingly important to me to pass
this trust over to man | believe
worthy of the mantle of the people. 1t
has been announced that | would to-
night introduce my successor. and |
here take pleasure in introducing Won
to the next mayor of Minneapolis, Hon.
p B. Winston"
Here Mr.. Winston came forward and
the crowd rose and cheered to a man.
Mr.. Winston briefly said he had come
from Dakota to be present at this meet
ing and thanked them for the ovation.
The applause was terrific and a voice
yelled out:
.'All right, if Ames don't want it you
can have it
Navor Ames proceeded and said:
Mr.. Winston stands upon the true
plat Orm and you can honestly support
HIM. He is opposed by Capt. Babb. and
as he was a soldier and | am soldier
myself no mimic ball shall go from me
to him. But his record is a public mat
ter and that we can freely canvass.
A voice: what about Cutter?'l I'll
reach that presently. Capt. Babb is
not Of the material of which mayors are
made. Laughter. l have seen him
stand up boldly in counciI-and he de-
serves credit for it-and move to adj
jOurD. Laughter. But Capt. Babb
shall never stand in the way of the on
ward march OF Minneapolis. No grass
I shall grow in its streets because it was
turned over TO the rule of the PuritanS.
Don't fear that. Applause. Now look
out for bOmbShells in the camp, but
don't be afraid of them. They will telf
YOU that my friend Winston was rebel
soldier So he was and l honor him for
l.
( for principle and l honor him for that.
And when a Republican tells of this,
wish him to show that he was in the
army as long as | was and l will talk to
him. | will tell him that 3. f. Nelson
was rebel soldier and has held
offices of honor in Minneapolis, and who
| ever heard a word against him? will tell
them that Gen. ROsser. whom the Re-
publicans gave office, was a rebel gen.
eral, but all of these men. when the war
/ ended. presented the hits of their
swords to us and became patriotic cit
liens. We honor them, whatever their
politics." Prolonged applause.
After warm tribute to Mr.. Win
stOn's bravery and personal attractions,
Mayor AmeS turned to the national
! ticket, and drew out boundless applause
/ with the name of Cleveland, and then
| took up the state campaign and re-
ferred to the memorable canvass of two
years ago merely to show the popular
tendency of Minnesota. OF the tariff
