With an Immense Crowd.
Long before the procession had
started the Peoples theater, where the
speaking was held, was crowded to its
utmost capacity; there being large
number of ladies among the audi
ence. The crowd was re-
markably good-natured one and did not
manifest the least bit of impatience. 1t
was 9o'clock when the speakers entered
the hall. They were greeted with a
spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm.
Among those were Col. Glenn, Nj. Can
field, Mayor AmeS, e. NJ. Wilson, Col.

the demonstration which had Just taken

greeted with wild cheering. He first i'll

he, ''showS to me that you appreciate

paid a high compliment to Presi-

taken the bull by the horns and had
shown the American people where
their interests lay. 1t is the common
people who are the rulers of this coun-
try,'' said he, "for the rich people, the
men who own the protected industries,
can take care of themselves. 1t is the
masses whom Grover Cleveland is look
ing after" Mr.. Rice referred to the
Mills bill and to the presidents message
at some length, and showed how false
were the Republican statements that
the Workingmen wanted protection.
Hon. Knute Nelson was held up as an
honest man who dared to slip off the
halter of the Republican bosses. and
voted in congress for the best interest
of his constituents.
II need not mention the name of the
gentleman who heads your state ticket"

TOO LATE TO SWAP.
The Republicans Will Retain
Babb and Meet Their Fate.

Babb and Meet Their Fate.
The Republicans were annoyed ex-
ceedingly, and were kept busy yester-
day denying that Babb was to be with
drawn and A. j. Blethen substituted as
candidate for mayor. The only
reason that can be construed as to the
cause of the rumor is the desper-
ate chance which the Repub-
licans have of electing their
city ticket. The plan of withdrawing
Babb was discussed and decided inn
practicable week ago, as reported by
the GLOBE. Then the change could
have been made; now it is too late.
Hence the general credence gwen to the
rumor yesterday was Indicative simply
of the feeling that the Republicans
