lieutenant governor because he believes
in laws that will inure to the greatest
benefits to the greatest number. He
held the Mckinley bill an iniquitious
robbery. He wants it abolished, for he
holds that any man who tolls for a
| livelihood is entitled to all the rewards
| for his toll, rather than be taxed for the
benefit of few monopolists.
| Mr.. Hawkins paid a handsome tribute
to ID. w. Lawler, and predicted his
| election. Ii the Democratic vote of the
state can be gotten out. he urged, Law
| Ter Will be elected by 5000 majority over
| knute Nelson. This declaration pr o.
| duced intense excitement, and the gal
| liant leader was cheered to the echo.
j. Adam Bede was next introduced
| He prefaced his address by ASSERTING
> that ID. w. Lawler is one of the most
ideal candidates i'll the state, and he
| added that sometimes he thought his su-
pcrior could not be encountered in the
entire country. He felt certain that ev-
erybody with Democratic proclivities in
st. Paul is going to vote for Lawler ,sand
| that they will elect him.
but, want to add" he cried, ''there
| is no reason why you should not also
vote for Harry Hawkins"
That's rightn' shouted club men,
ber in the center of the hail, and again
| the air was rent with cheers.
| II love the party that will put such
| noble partisans in nomination." re-
! sumed the Duluth orator when the en-
! thusiasm had sufficiently subsidized to
allow him to be heard. ''Now, [ under
stand that you are soon to place in the
field your county ticket | charge and
counsel you to select your best men.
l DON'T allow 9nU npa IN no ,,iaoni aitbar
ON your county or your Legislative ticket
| that Will lose vote to Cleveland OF to
| Lawler and the balance of the state
| ticket"
| Mr.. Bede then spoke at some length
| upon the noble and inspiring attributes
| of Cleveland, who has three times been
| placed in nomination by the Democratic
party. The so-called Democratic war
| record was taken up next.
II nave always maintained" argued
he, that the war was merely fac
tional Democratic fight. The Repub-
llcans all assert that one side was solidly
Democratic" and pointing to Mr.. HaW-
klnS. he continued, land the other side
was nearly all composed of Democrats.
The result was they met on the field of
battle and killed off Democrats until
the control of the country passed into
the hands of the Republicans. But
another crop of Democrats has grown
up, and we have redeemed the ma
tlonal house of representatives,
all through system of gerry
Wandering by the Republicans
in Rhode Island, Connecticut and New
York the senate has still remained in
the hands OF the Republicans. Since
1852 the Democrats have not had a pres
ldent and a majority in both branches
OF congress. Ii we could elect presi-
dent from congressional districts we
would bring the election close to the
people. There would be no fear of a
pivotal state then. There would be no
five.
II want to urge upon you to do your
duty on election day." he pursued. 1T
reminds me of an incident 1
witnessed in Minneapolis the other
day. L came down on the Duluth train
to the union depot there. had come
on that short line, they call it, running
between the Twin Cities and
the twinless city of Duluth. !
saw woman suddenly start toward
train as 1t began to move off. My baby
is on that train!' she cried. 1t was pa
thetlc scene, and it must have moved any
man who has heart as big as a walnut,
But she got her baby all safe, and was
reJoiced. Now l want you all to rush
to the polls on election day as that
woman rushed to that train for her baby.
Where any ones treasure is, there is his
heart. Your treasure should be in the
ballot box"
Ihe tariff issue was next taken up,
and the sophistries advanced by the op-
position in support of the McKlnley
bill were torn to pieces shred by shred.
1t was shown that sugar is the only ar
tlcle on the free list that enters largely
into common consumption. This was
put there because no sugar is raised in
Ohio. The bill was pronounced an Ohio
measure pure and simple throughout.
First on the free list find kangaroo
with the hair on" cried the speaker
'HoW you labOrlng men must long for
kangaroo with the hair OH! Up at Du-
iuth we would much prefer bald
headed kangaroo. We might trace a
map of the iron range on it and make it
do some sort of service. While there is
a tariff on wool, lumber, binding twine,
Jute and clothing, the kangaroo with
hair on it is admitted for your delecta-
ton free of duty. Next in order [
find fish bladders. Great Scott!
You must want fish bladders.
In Duluth at an early day
we were called fish-eaters. The young
man ate so much fish that he could not
embrace his sweetheart without getting
his arms full of whaleboneS, but | don't
know that fish bladders ever entered
into articles of consumption up there"
And SO the free list was reviewed to
the end OF the chapter. Rennet, asses
skins, stuffed birds, bones, fossils, ice,
old rubber boots. antique maps and
dried insects were ridiculed as articles
to be admitted to the use of the working
man free of duty.
Hon. John W. Willis was compelled
to make short address by the jealous
club men that filled the opera house.
Mi. Willis spoke in the most sanguiDe
tone OF the prospects for magnificent
victory this fall. He had Travelled over
goodly portion of the state, and the
for Lawler is contagious,
and is sweeping the length and breadth
of the state like wild-tire. The demon
stration ended with cheers for the ma
tional and state tickets.
