MADE A THN-STRIkE.
The Next Governor, e. MI. Wilson,
Takes Duluth by Storm.
SPECIAL to the Globe.

DULUTH. Mimi, New. 2.-Neyer in
the history of Duluth has such demon
stration been seen as the one greeting
Hon. E. NJ. Wilson tonight. The local
committee made one grand mistake, it
did not order half enough torches.
Fifteen hundred torches were in line.
every one in the hands OF voter, while
twice as many more sturdy Democrats
ranged themselves in line and We'd
with each other in honoring the chief
tain of Minnesota Democracy. Two
thousand Democratic voters with hun
dreds of ladies packed and damned
themselves into the Grand opera house,
while hundreds, unable to gain admit
lance, packed halls and stairWayS, eN-
tending their line into the street to give
emphasis to the popularity of the Demo-
craey ira supposed hot-bed of Repub-
lieanism. From beginning to end the
reception to the next governor
of Minnesota was one continued
and grand Grafton. To say the Repub-
licans were surprised is feeble express
sion. Dismay and CONSERVATION was
depicted on their countenanceS as shouts
of enthusiastic joy went up from full
5000 lusty Democratic Threats. Iron
bound st. Louis sends greetings to the
mortgage-ridden farmer and will aid
him in one supreme and mighty effort
to throw off the garb of high
taxes and don the robe of
free clothing against free whisky.
When the Omaha train rolled into the
depot at 7:45 bearing Mr.. Wilson and
J. n. Castle, it was met by reception
committee consisting of Senator White
man, Register Maginnis. nj. B. Harri

the gentlemen to the Hotel st. Louis.
A grand parade had previously formed
and was marching the streets four
abreast and six blocks long, bearing
scores of transparencieS and leaving a
trail of fire behind it with its rockets
and Roman candles. Long before the
opera house doors were opened crowd
fingered aud sWayed about the entrance
anxious to gain admission. After SO
much of the crowd as could gain admit
lance had become somewhat settled,
Senator Whiteman, acting as chairman,
stepped forward, and in few well
chosen remarks intr oduced ''the next
governor of Minnesota, Hon. E. Nj.
Wilson," AS the distinguished gentle
man stepped forward he was met
with perfect storm of applause, and it
was long time before quiet could be
restored and he be allowed to proceed.
The speaker expressed the keenest
qualification at his reception. He said
he had been led to believe there were
no Democrats in Duluth, but on every
side he saw evidence of Democratic en-
he felt kindly toward Republican
friends. he could not but believe it was
Democratic sentiment which placed
so magnificent a city at the head
of the lakes. And it was SO
all over the state. Democratic
enterprise and Democratic push was in
fusing life into all the avenues of trade.
Passing from pleasant compliment to
the city and its people Mr.. Wilson
turned TO the tariff and handled it in a
way that carried conviction. lie did
not come here to preach one doctrine
and go somewhere else and preach an
other. Democrats demanded reduction
in the tariff to meet the requirements of
government and not foster monOpo1ieS
unjust and unnatural, piIing UP
from, 81, 100000 to s10.000,Go0 per month
which mist cease, in the interest
of the laborer, whether he be farmer,
mechanic or miner. The platforms
of Republican conventions since the
close of the war had declared for it until
Blaine and Carnegie at Melrose, in Eng
land, had held the ear of the Chicago
convention, and declared for free
whisky and free tobacco, and then to-
gether had danced a hornpipe in Cluny
castle. All tariff had been reduced
on luXuries, but not on neceSSarieS and
now it was proposed to reverse the
order of things and give the producer
and consumer little Of protection in
the shape of cheaper clothing and
cheaper raw materials, For full hour
and half Mr.. Wilson discussed the
tariff question and its bearing upon the
industrial classes, clearly and forci-
bly, illustrating that that it could not
effect wages only to their advantage i'll
providing the necesSarieS OF Ii much
cheaper. There was no passion in his
address. but a square argument, and
presentment of facts that made hundreds
of votes for the entire Democratic
ticket. Applause was frequent and at
tested the keen appreciation of the
audience. Duluth would now like very
much to hear Mr.. Merriam in his cele-
DRAFTED tariff speech" Mr.. Wilson was
followed by c. D'Autremont, jr., who
has made spch an able canvass for the
entire ticket throughout the state.
Everybody Yelled For Wilson.
Special to the Globe.
HINcKLEY, Mimi, Nov. 2.-One of
the largest and most enthusiastic meet
ings ever held in Pine county occurred
here this evening. A torchlght pro-
cesSion with transparencies, and num-
boring over 800 people, paraded the
principal streets. Judge Netherwav,
Hon. G. E. Cassel and John F. Stone
addressed large audience in
Smiths hall. The best of order
prevailed. This was a repetition of
like demonstration at Pine City last
night. Hon. Eugene NJ. Wilson was
forcibly taken from the limited Duluth
