APPLETON, Nov. 1.-The Democrats
of Appleton outdid themselves last
evening. 1t was, comparatively speak
ing, as grand torchlight procession
and display of fireworks as has been
seen in any of the large cities. There
we're over 200 men carrying torches.
The occasion was the arrival OF our
congressman, Judge Macdonald, and
Hon. Chris Gallagher and Hon. James
McHale, county attorney OF Scott
county, and the turnout ami display
was intended to give emphasis
TO the Indignation of our peo-
pie at the disgraceful doings of
of ID. T. Hall and the Republican press
and other tools. who are supporting
Oar" After marching through town
the procession halted in front OF the st.
lanes hotel and called for the above
named gentlemen. and formed in line
extending all the way from the hotel to
the hall. They then opened ranks and,
PRECEDED BY AN ESCORT
Of mounted men. our guests passed
through the line of torches i'll the fol-
owing order: Judge Macdonald with
Chairman Foster, Mr.. Gallagher with
William Michigan, and Mr.: Nc
Hale with Mr.. Stanton. While they
were passing through the ranks
of glery'' by the shooting of Roman
candles and skyrockets. The band must
not be forgotten. 1t also did itself
proud. The large hall was packed to
almost suffocation. yet the interest was
such that the speaker held them with
out anv sign of Impotence until II: 80
o'clock. If Oar Hall had been there.
he would have learned what the people
here think of his style of electioneering,
and that elt ctioneering ''roorbacks" and
''yarns'' thirty years old are not ac-
cepted to DESTROY an official career of
TWENTY-FIVE years, that he and his tools
have not vet found anything to asSail.

CAMPAIGN OF DEFAMATION.
seriously injured himself here, and
caused many TO work against him who
would otherwise have remained passive.
The meeting organized by calling to the
chair Charles Foster, and the first
speaker of the evening was Judge Mac
Donald. who spoke for al hour and a
half. He began by contradicting false
hoods put in circulation in relation to
the action of the house OF representa-
tiyes i'm relation to the Hastings d Da-
kota railway land grant forfeiture and
the bill relating to the indemnity lands
and the early adjustment OF. the land
grants 10 railroads. He said he was pre-
pared to hear of any lie being put
in circulation, but he did not think he
would be told when he came here that
the emssaries of Mr.. Hall were out i'll
this county telling the people that no
such bill as the bill FORGETTING the Hast
ings & Dakota railroad had passed the
house. He supposed all knew that it
was passed on the oath of July last. He
said this was a
CAMPAIGN OF LIES,
aud he would have to rely upon the
people to recognize this fact. He then
passed into consideration of the other
claims of the opposition, and closed
with clear exposition of the
tariff and the Mills bill and sen
ate substitute. He was followed
by Mr.. Gallagher in one OF his rattling
speeches, which kept the audience in
good humor. and called attention to
many of the weak points of the opposi-
ton candidates. He spoke for an hour,
and was also well received. The meet
ing was a grand success. and the OPP
position is simply sick at heart to-day.
We are sorry for them. but principles
must triumph. Put Swift county down
IN the Wilson and Macdonald column.
Fact-no electioneering bluff.
