A Lively Meeting in North Mime
apolis-Eleventh Ward Club.
An enthusiastic audience, composed Of
about 700 voters of the Third and Fourth
wards, listened to the eloquent and logical
remarks of Capt. j. N. Castle last night at
West-Turner's hall. The prospective con-
gresham had the audience with him from
"start to fnisn," and as he dissected the in
famous and notorious Mckinley bill
plause. In showing the injustice done
TO the poor man with family
he took well-known millionaire
who has only his wife, for example. The tax
for the millionaire and his wife, he said,
would hardly reach 500 a year, while that of
the millionaire's neighbor. poor man with
family of eight children, would exceed 500
in year. He declared that it was Ubiquitous
legislation, ard that it made the rich richer
and the poor poorer. He referred to his OPP
friend, but said that he had been
driven into line by the notorious
enterprises. Matt Gallagher, candidate for
the legislature in the Twenty-ninth district,
spoke briefly upon the necessity of studying
the Australian law; also referring to local
legislature There was great outburst OF
enthusiasm when P. B. Winston made his
appearance and was introduced as the next
mayor of Minneapolis In opening
his desire that the canvass be made in a
straightforward manner, so that If the Demo-
Gratis were defeated-of which there seems
TO be but little prospect-there can be no cry
of crookedness. He referred to The headlines
in last nights journal, stating that ii he
(Winston) should happen to be elected, he
would simply De Il tgurehead, and only have
the power to appoint a dog catcher. He
assured his listeners that if elected he would
hot be fgurehead. and that the Repub-
licans would find out that he was mayor in
every sense OF the word, and certainly would
exercise little more power than to appoint
dog catcher.
l.. X. Than, candidate for county at
torley. made an eloquent address, in which
he commented upon the past two years Re-
publican administration of both city,
state. and national government. When
A. A. Ames lett the mayors chair
two years ago, he asserted, that there
were 10000 people in Minneapolis,
and that times were never more prosperous;
now, according to the late census. there are
but about 10000 people, and that il man
should 60 to Spokane Falls or any city
in the far Northwest he would see
so many familiar faces that he would
feel at home. If the Democrats are put in
power at this election. he predicted thai Min
peapolis will again ''boom," and that people
will flock to the Flour City from all parts of
the country.
I II. A. Marsh, candidate for senator Of the
Twenty ninth district, spoke upon legislative
affairs. He did not believe in denouncing
the ReDuDllcdn canQlQateS. as their actions
in the past would speak for themselves Perry
Long. candidate for Legislature in the Twenty
ninth district, was introduced amidst ap-
pIause. He referred to the First ward political
feud as only an outburst for revenge and
stuff" principally the latter, by disgruntled
politicians who had been refused recognition
by the Democratic party. He was confident
that the citizens of the First ward would not
be mislead but on the contrary they would
fall in line and on the 4th day of November
give the Democratic party majority of at
least l.5UO.
About 600 people, most Of whom were
| railroad employees, met at Walkers hall, at
1 the corner of Adams street and Fifth avenue
/ northeast. last night. P. b. Winston adj
dressed them. The audience was composed
of hard headed fellows who know on which
/ side of their bread the butter is spread for
l no man works harder tor his bread and
butter than the railroad man. Mr. Winston
talked to the men plainly and unassumingly,
as is his nature, and they appreciated the
force of his arguments. Judging from the
way they looked upon him and his presenta-
ton of the local issues, the number of rail
road men who will not vote for Winston can
be counted in a 7x9 room. Other speakers
followed the next mayor.

ed president; W. ID. Mathews. secretary; ex-
