The meetings of the Cleveland club
increase in interest every week. This
club seems to thoroughly fill vacant
place in the field of political organiza-
tons in Minneapolis, If the manner in
which the membership of the club is
growing be any indication. Last night
sixty names were added to the rolls. max
ing the total membership now nearly
800. The secretary was Instructed to
communicate with the other Democratic
organizations, and to endeavor to secure
their cooperation in bringing Roger q.
Mills and other noted speakers to Min
neapolis, so that the people of this Sec
ton may learn something of the tariff
during the present campaign. The club
took shy at the present intellectual
CITY council through the following reSo-
buttons:
an view of certain recent acts of the city
council of Minneapolis, the Cleveland Demo
cratic club herewith presents for the consld-
Grafton of the fellow citizens the fonowlng
well understood facts and principles:
"The public streets are established and
maintained for the common and equal use of
all the people. In their use the poorest nave
equal rights with the richest.
This equal right OF the people 70 use tne
streets is confined exclusively to the right OF
passing to and fro. and can never be extend
ed to any obstruction of the sidewalk, ex-
cept such temporary obstruction as is lmme-
mediatey in the ordinary course OF traVel.
"All distractions are equally out OF place,
whether causedby peanut vender, mousse
builder or a street railway company
"Whoever has any special privileges in the
public streets, which in any way may o.
struct or prevent their use by all the people
i ~ n q n
fair compensation for the damage the people
thereby sustain, and full and fair compensa-
ton for the benefits which he may thereby
receive. This principle applies equally TO
the banana peddler, the house mover. or
wealthy corporations. All Of them have
equal rights there and none should have
special rights without paying for them.
1.-The present Republican city council OF
the city of Minneapolis has given away to
the street railway company and other cor
porations without compensation. privileges
worth millions of dollars; and now. In mt
of hypocritical stinginess, at the lnstlga,
ton of few merchants who MI
up the sidewalks with. their goods while
they ask for protection" against tne poor t1
council demands that the poor banana PED
dlers and peanut sellers shall pay Incense
fee or keep out of the public streets. Verliy
consistency is jewel too rare for hepuph-
can alderman to possess. or truth they
straining at the gnat.
"But this is quite in harmony with the es-
tablished policy of the Republican party:
They maintain tariff system for the benent
of a few protected monOpollstS, while IT cuts
down wages and adds to the cost of living.
They have given away the public lands, the
common heritage of the people, to
enrich few railway corporations, and TINS
local move of theirs TO Cypress the poor ana
weak for the benefit of the rich and strong is
perfectly consistent with their long and VII
famous record as the friends OF plutocracy
and the enemies Of the people"
A letter was also received from
Chauncey F. Black, the Democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor OF
Pennsylvania, in response to the con-
gratulationS extended him by the Cleve-
land club. He wrote as follows:
