To Stir Up Sectional Strife, as
Usual.
OLD SOLDIERS ENLISTED.
The Republican Rally at Market Hall
Called Out Many Mime
apolitans.

RepuDllcanlSm Ill the SANITY City
must be in sorry condition, as yester-
day evening, when grand Republican
rally and ratification meeting" was held
IN the Market hall, the party required
the assistance of several hundred "old
soldiers from Minneapolis to fill the
room. The hall was properly
decorated with national flags, and
there was also plentiful display of the
tlme-hOnOred party devices in the shape
OF notices. Hon. r. G. Horr, of Michi-
gan, was the speaker of the evening,
but it was an hour after the time APP
pointed before the meeting was inau-
gurated. Col. Davidson was in charge
OF affairs, and, having called the meet
ing to order, asked representative Re-
publicanS in the auditorium to take
seat on the platform. 1--WE are all Rep
resentative Republicans" chimed one
of the 'horny-handed sons of TOLL" but
the colonel did not deign to notice the
query, and asked Gov. McGill, ex-Govs.
Pillsbury, Marshall and Ramsey, if they
were present, to take seats on the stage.
Here loud cries were raised for ''Schef-
fer" the audience at the same time
breaking into
A ROAR OF LAUGHTER.
Hon. r. G. Horr received very flat
tering reception. His address was very
complimentary to the Republican party.
According to Hon. Roswell e.. Horn,
there never was such party on the
face of the earth. Republicans
are the wisest, best educated,
most honest and upright individuals
under the sun; while their poor,
willy, insignificant opponents, the Dem
ocratS, are the basest and most ignorant
creatures to be found. Said he: II see
in this gathering the simple forerunner
OF the storm that will strike this coun-
try in November next" [Cries. "a cy-
here as Republicans, believing in the
doctrine of the Republican party, and
we propose to take the confederate
brigadiers out of their saddles and put
the government of the country into the
hands OF the men who saved it,"
The speaker continued: ''You come
here to say to the people of this state
why they told me there were nothing
but Democrats Qaughter)-that Mime
sofa proposes in the coming election to
lead the van of Republican states in
the Northwest, and you are going to do
1t. Voices: You bet" and Forty
thousand" and eheers.l The Repub-
lican party would never be content
or poor, high or low, white or black, can
cast one vote and then
HAVE IT HONESTLY COUNTED.
Do you know that your record has not
been exactly square on this counting
business, my Democratic friends? Why,
L just moment ago read long article
written by Democrat, showing that
right in this grand city the
Democrats are up to their
old tricks. Brother Lawler, you do
right in condemnipg the tissue ballot,
the miscOunting. the cheating at the
polls, and L am glad to see a Democrat
it. laughter Republicans believe in
building up America and the United
States first and Great Britains after
wards, and, if had may way. 1t would
be good while afterwards. Laughter
Democrats were acting just the
opposite in bringing forward this
question of free trade. This tariff ques-
ton in some quarters is great buga-
boo. What | say is that putting tariff
on salt or any article manufactured in
this country is to enable the capitalists
to engage in the business, improve their
machinery, build up the enterprise, and
that the great law of competition cheap
ems the article"

the orator, followed by loud cheers.
Mr.. Horr continued to inform Minneso-
tianS that what was wanted in this state
was well diversified employment. No
state that just raised one thing and sold
it ever got rich. 1t was nearly IL
O'Clock before he resumed his seat, hay
ing spoken close upon two hours. A
large number of people had in the
meantime left the hall.
Attorney General Clapp was next
called from the body of the hall, and he
took the platform, delivering few re-
marks, in which he stated that once he
believed in free trade. He learned it from
books, written by the long-haired pro-
fessors, who he had since found knew
nothing about political economy.
Col. Davidson wound up the meeting
by exhibiting the Democratic campaign
emblem, which, he said, was 1.-The nose
wipe of rich aristocrat."
Three rousing cheers for the Repub-
lican national ticket closed the pro-
ceedings.
