DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 4.-Hon. Thomas
Wilson addressed a large mass meeting
Of citizens this evening at the Bethel.
Hundreds were unable to gain entrance
to the building. NJ. R. Baldwin pre-
sided and introduced the speaker, who
was greeted with tremendous cheers,
which we're taken up by those outside
the building. Judge Wilson spoke
for an hour and half. His remarks
being principally directed against the
protective tariff, which he characterized
as a nightmare of Republicanism. In
reference to the state government ne
said the garbled report of his
speech in accepting the nomination for
governor, and which had been sent out
In circular form by the Republican
by the Pioneer Press, was the
work of men who could, with
equal facility, forge signature or raise
a check. He said Merriam was speaker
Of the house when House File No. 157
was passed. and that he (Merriam)
signed it. He wound up his remarks by
brief eulogy of A. j. White
man, candidate for congress in
the Sixth district. At the close of
Judge Wilson's remarks there were loud
calls for Mr.. Whiteman, who pleaded
the lateness of the hour as an excuse
for not responding at length, but prom
ised an address at an early day on the
tariff and taxation. The remarks of
Judge Wilson were clear and conyinc-
ing, and well-khown Republicans after
the meeting declared their intention of
voting for the Democratic gubernatorial
nominee as man who carried honesty
in his every action, and who certainly
could not be a worse friend to Duluth
than Merriam had been. A delegation
of leading citizens escorted the Judge to
the train when he left for home to-
night.

ADA. Minn., Oct. 4.-The Democratic
county convention was held here to-day
and nominated county ticket. a trade
was made with the Republicans. Mir
Rindall, nominated by the Republicans
of this legislative district for representa-
tive. has withdrawn his name, and the
Republicans agreed to not put another
candidate in the field, and put the
name of s. B. Cragin, the Democratic
nominee from this county, on their
ticket, if the Democrats of this county
would lndorse the Republican county
ticket, except the candidate for sheriff.
This arrangement makes a foUr-cor-
nered fight for sheriff, with the chances
cdUQlUdIe.
and, 1t is claimed, makes the election of
a Democratic representative almost
sure in this district.

mated: Senator, G. S. Crandal: repre-
sentative. j. M. Diment. The conyen-
ton was not all Harmony, and discomfort
showed itself as soon as the first
opportunity was presented, which was
on the adoption of resolutions. The
resolutions Endorsed the state and ma
tional platforms. but several delegates
voted against their adoption. The poIit-
lcal axle grease was of an inferior Quail
ity, and as result the machine is laid
up with hot box tonight, although
Col. Plummer and brass band are en-
deavoring to bring back the old-time en-
thusiasm. The ticket with but few eX-
ceptionS is considered a weak one even
by MANY Republicans
