ADDED TO ner already far fame, and IN
a eliminating burst of harmony and
love feast which surpasses all previous
political gatherings of the campaign,
victorious Democracy took the initiatory,
and albeit almost the final steps, to-
wards carrying all before them on their
final charge to certain victory on next
Tuesday. 1t was representative gath
ing and typical of the far reaching and
all-absorbing power of Democracy. The
rich man, clothed in purple and
fine linen, contested Spiritedly,
but good humoredly, with the honest
mechanic for post of vantage from
which to see the stage and hear the
speakers, and at the conclusion of the
two hours and half, there was not a
man left in the theater who Was not
firmly convinced that if superficial i'll
dications may be accepted as evidence,
then was the enthusiasm and applause
of last evening, but
A HARBINGER OF VICTORY
in the near approaching and eventful
9th of November.
On the stage were seated the orators
of the evening: Congressman Edmund
Rice, A. A. AmeS, ID. b. johnson, OF
MlliIiCdpuiio, ~. W. LaHl0l. oVii' H.
w. Johnson. A. ID. Warner and Chair
man Murray. p. T. Kavanagh smiled
upon the scene from the o. p. Box;
Horace Dunn was well down
in the orchestra, and forcibly reminded
one of the spectacular, with its
incidental ballet. Maj. Landberg lott
cred mySteriously in the flies, and NJ. F.
Kahn, with his proyerbial modesty. was
''diScOyered' far in the rear. There
was not vacant seat in the house. and
when Chairman O'Leary, of the con-
gresSional committee, looked out of the
box, and saw fully 300 people standing
in the aisles and foyer. he was pleased
and showed a pardonable pride in the
success of this tribute to our next con-
gresham, the entire state ticket, for
which he is working night and day.
Every mention of the nameOf a can
didate for political preferment was the
signal for vociferous cheering. When
Mayor Ames proposed three cheers at
the conclusion of Congressman Rice'S
they were given with so hearty good
will that even Barton Hill's
HEART WAS FILLED WITH ENVY,
as he mentally calculated the price
which an actor could command who
could arouse so much nightly enthusi-
asm. All of the speeches were admir-
ably delivered. All were scholarly, and
all dealt intelligently with the issues of
the day. There was 10 yituperatiye
abuse Of the opposition candidates for
state officers. They were politely
ignored, for the most part, and the head
of the Republican ticket was hardly
dignifed 10y a mention. The tariff, the
past records of both parties, and an able
review Of the situation, were the points
brought before the audience, and that
the auditors were pleased at the
speakers was shown by the rapt atten-
tion of all. The boxes, and foyer were
plentifully adorned with cuts of Cieve-
land. Thurman, Wilson and Rice. and
the occasion was one long to be remen-
bered by all present.
w. p. Murray, the chairman, called
the meeting to order shortly before s
O'Clock, and in short speech presented
Mayor AmeS.
In the course of his remarks Mayor
AmeS said:
believe in the rights of the people, and
that it is only necessary for them TO have re-
course to the ballot box in order to protect
their rights. The rank and file of the Re-
of the Democracy. II is the party leaders
the men who take their places at the head of
the opposition army and dictate the move
ments of their followefs-whose methods
are to be condemned. Democracy was sue
cessful four years ago. yet the country has
not gone to the dogs. Have you heard any
thing of Belknap during that time? No!
You have Grover Cleveland at the head OF
your party, who is tower and bulwark of
strength. We are more competent to-day to
give q better administration than the Repub-
lican'party. Why? Because fer TWENTY-FIVE
years they have fastened upon them the
barnacles which grow with the. growth of
any party. Each office-holder has to pro-
vide for his sisters, his cousins and his aunts.
Where is the hard working man to
get his chance to hold federal office ask
you to follow the dictates of your own hearts
Sit down III your moments of leisure and re-
fleet on the difference between the two
parties. If you know of man upon the
Democratic ticket who is not honest don't
vote for him. If the Democratic candidates
are not capable. and are unprincipled, vote
for those who are, and if Oh the other hand
you Republicans have any man in your party
who does not come up TO the requirements,
come over and cast your ballots with great
and victorious Democracy, and be on the
winning side on Tuesday next
Hon. W. p. Murray next introduced
Congressman Rice, who, after the
cheering had subsidized thanked those
| present for the confidence reposed in
| him, and expressed hope that he
would merit their good will in the
| future. Referring to the statement of
| Capt. Snider, relative to the short time
which it would take the Minneapolis
millionaire to get ST. Paul new post
! office if elected, Congressman Rice
said that if Capt. Snider succeed
ed in accomplishing what he
promised he would have to stay in
| Washington for an indefinite length of
| time. He then gave brief history Of
the bill for the proposed new postofice.
The bill was put through the senate by
Senator Davis, and an appropriation not
exceeding S1,2)0,000 was granted. 1t
| was reperted'back, but owing to the all
| absorbing interest in the Mills bill,
which was discussed for about 100 days,
! the st. Paul bill was temporarily
| shelved. As soon as the bill was passed
| it was impossible to obtain quorum
| The committee never had whole day
| in which to consider the measure. The
| bill could not be reached, bat would be
| brought up and passed at the next
session. You have at the the head of
your state icket,'' continued the
speaker, "a gentleman who for years,
has filled many political positions with
credit. Consider his merits and look
carefully after his interests. You can
do no better. | have nothing to Say
against his opponent and am not
equipped for speech this evening. I
have led too busy a life to give much
attention to oratory and will be followed
by other mere able men," [Cheers.l
ID. w. LAWYER was next introduced,
| and for Thirty minutes held the rapt at
| tention of his auditors. He referred to
| the evident attempts of the Republicans
to stir up disaffection in the Democratic
ranks, and spoke of Grover Cleveland
as man with an iron will and soul
Of iron. 1.-The Republican party has
been called back tothe home of its fathers
for nearly four years. he continued
