When Or. A. A. Ames said to the

heartily support the ticket he meant

MINNEAPoLIs Mimi, Oct. 90 1S90-Hon
William NJ. Campbell Chairman Democratic
State Central Committee. st. Paul. MIMI
My Dear Sir: 1t is with feelings of deep re-
greet am compelled to say to you I am una
BILE to redeem the promise made YOU to take
the stump for the Hon. Thomas Wilson. and
on behalf of the entire Democratic ticket
My health has been so precarious am posi-
lively forbidden by my physicians to attempt
anything like travelling or public speaking.
L assure you 1t is matter of sincere regret
to me am thus prevented from taking that
active part in the present great battle which
the Democracy Is now waging i'll behalf of
the people, and against the monopolists and
trusts, as represented by the present Repub-
iican organization, headed as 1t is in this
state by millionaire candidate for governor.
OF whom it has properly been said he is ''the
flower of his class"
To have spoken from the same platform
with our great leader Ga real tribune of the
people'), our candidate for governor,
Thomas Wilson, to have assisted in warning
the masses of our people against the danger
OF plutocracy, was my amDltlon.
But, as | am disappointed in this, take
the only other means left me to make known
to the people of this great state, through you
as chairman of the Democratic organization,
the reason for my apparent inactivity. and to
assure them OF my great anxiety for the sue
cess of our cause. And beg of my many
friends who i'll the past stood by me Loyalty
Ill my many political battles in the interest OF
those whose lot it is to labor and to earn
their bread in the sweat of their face" to
trNffI
cause; for l really fear that unless the pluto
Gratis are routed at this election there is dan
ger that the rapidly increasing wealth in the
hands OF the monopolists VINO are now con
trolling and debating the policy of the Re
publican party will result in such increased
great mass of the people.
Trusting, then, We have at last been suf-
ficiently dmonished of our Danger that we
will rise in our might and relegate the hood
is the fondest hope of your fellow-citizen and
Democrat, A. A. AMEs.
