LONG PRAIRIE, Minn., Oct. 21.-S. G..
ComstOck and w. II. Eustis spoke here
tonight. Comstock's remarks were on
the line adopted by the Republicans in
the present campaign-revival of war
issues, abuse of Democrats in general.
the grossest misrepresentation of the
text of the Mckinley tariff, lots of taffy
for farmers, laboring men and old
soldiers, and broad hint that he was
willing to Offer himself as a living sacri-
flee for another term in congress If the
dear people should so elect. Only this
and nothing more. Mr.. Eustis ex-
hauSted his eloquence in endeavor-
ing to convince the audience that
oComstock was "a noble and
trusty representative, but failed to show
the farmers that the increased duty on
binding twine, tin. ETC.. was adding to
their wealth, even though Canadian
hens were forbidden to lay eggs OH this
side of the line. Somehow the average
granger fails to see why tin cup is
cheaper at six cents than at five. and
the same with the price of many other
articles already advanced by the Nc
Kinley tariff. 1t will take more elo-
quence than has as yet appeared to save

successful in this attempt Merriam
came up to Hicks desk and said:

He acted very much like baby,

Keep still and it will be all right"
''Their next attempt was to have the
not returning it to the senate, This was
the last day for the passage of bills. I
went to Judge Wilson, told him what
was going on, and the way in which it
was proposed to kill the bill. 1t had
been pigeon-holed in the house. Judge
Wilson obtained an order for it's return.
We went together to the Journal and
found by the record that it was still in
the house. We got it out. had it re-
turned to the senate, where it was en-
rolled and signed in time to be sent to
the governor tor his approval, which it
received and became law"
Merriam fought hard for it's defeat,
but the honor of its passage is Cue to

Since that law has been on the statute

SPRING VALLEY, Minn.. Oct. 21.-
Judge Wilson this evening addressed
one of the largest audiences ever as
sembled in this city. The opera house
was filled to overfowing. The judge
was in his happiest vein. and gave the
clearest explanation of the tariff and
Its working ever heard in this city. He
showed how it raised the price of neces-
sarles to the poor without working a
corresponding raise of wages; showed
the fallacy of Republican argu-
ments and the falsity of Dunnell's
statements, held up to the ridicule of
his audience both Davis and Dunnell as
the poor mans friends. He said the
only fault he had to find with Owen was
his usurpatiOn of the position held by
the Democrats for We ars, namely, free
dom from the burdens of excessive tax
alton. He paid his compliments very
briefly to Gov. Merriam, and advised
his audience to make choice from the
public life of the candidates and not be
betrayed with kiss on the eve of elec-
ton. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. Judge Wilson speaks at Aus

ST. PAUL HAS THE GALL.
Brotherhood Engineers May Meet
Here Next Year

PITTsBURG, Oct. 21.-To- days session
of the International convention of
locomotive engineers was devoted to
routine business. The work consisted
of reading resolu tions on various SUBJ
jects for future nsideratiOn by the
convention and referring tine resolu-
tiOnS to the proper committees. Just
as soon as the work of constitutional
revision is finished the convention will
take up the consideration of the re-
ports OF the various committees. A
lively contest for the place of holding
next years convention is in progress.
1t is the opinion now that st. Paul,
Minn.. will secure the prize. To-
morrow the delegates will visit
the Pennsylvania railroad shops
at Altoona. and probably stop a
few hours at JOhnstown on their
return to this city. In inc grand inter-
national auxiliary to the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers considerable
opposition to the reelection of the pres
ent grand officers is manifested. The
principal objections are the facts that
most of the present staff are from Chi
cagO and vicinity, and that they have
been in power several years. The cleo
tion will be held on Thursday. To-day
the insurance department was finally
annexed TO the auxiliary. Mrs. Chester
Dunnel was elected president and Mrs.
Mary G. Orr secretary and treasurer OF
the insurance department.

CAL BRICE AS PEACEMAKER.
He Is Likely to Settle Ohio's Po-
litical Scandal.


Co LUMBUs, o., Oct. 21.-The house
this morning adopted a resolution as
the sense of the body that 10 slight or
insult was intended on the part of the
house in the refusal of the speaker to
accept the governors message yester-
day evening. and appointing commit
tee to call upon the governor and re-
quest that the message again be sent to
the house. Gov. Campbell complied
with the request. He recommends that
the legislature pass law providing
non-partlSan board of improvement for
Clncinnati.to to consist of four members, to
he appointed by the mayor and an cleo
ton held in April. He scores deeply
the lobby which, he says, has been here
from Cincinnati in the interests of the
present board of improvement,
tiOns that they are controlling
legislation ought to be sufficient indica-
tion to the members that the board is i'm
bad repute and should be abolished at
once. Gov. CampDell's message was
read in the senate this afternoon and
referred. Following this strong attack
was made Oh the governor by Senator
Brown, of Cincinnati. who in a lengthy
speech condemned his course relative to
the board OF improvements at Cincin-
natl, and read letter which Campbell
had written at the time of the appoint
ment expressing the greatest confidence
in Reemelin, president of the board.
During the session the senate passed
bill providing that Mayor Mosby shall
have the appointment of members of
new board and an election to be held in
April. The bill is non-partisan in
character and abOlishes the present
board. There were only three votes
III the senate against the bill,
all the Republicans voting in
its favor. The measure is in the line of
Gov. CampbelPs message and substan-
TALLY what was asked in the original
message bill. 1t is believed it will pass
the house, as the Republican members
OF the Judiciary committee of that body
have reported substantially indorsing
the governors message. Senator-elect
Brlce baS been in consultation with
the governor during the day, and he is
given credit for bringing about prob
able settlement of the difficulties and
the anticipated passage of the bill. The
house caucus, controlled by Democrats,
said to be opposed to the governor, has
agreed upon bill giving the governor
power to remove for cause only, and fix
ing an election for April. There will
be contest in the house over the propo.
