A WILD OVATION.
The Unparalleled Scene When
Lawler Appeared.

The Unparalleled Scene When
Lawler Appeared.
A moment after Mr.. George took his
seat Judge Flandrau disappeared be-
hind the north side fly and presently
emerged with the hero of the day, Hon.
Daniel w. Lawler. At the first glimpse
of Mr.. Lawler the audience broke into
an uproar Of applause such as was never
seen in that hall before. Judge Flandrau
was unable to tind a place where he
could break in and introduce him.. For
fully five minutes the uproar continued
without abating in the least. When
Judge Flandra was able to be heard.
he stepped to the front of the stage, and
said:
Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentle
men: You see sitting in row OH the
stage all our candidates, from the Hon.
Daniel w. LAWYER down to the foot
OF the county nominations. CThiS
row included j. N. Castle and
the candidates for the legisIa-
ture. The speaker was interrupted
by prolonged applause.) 1t is seldom
that person has a chance to say 81
told you So" with any sort of grace.
But L can do that thing tonight
with pride. When the Democratic
convention met in Minneapolis
had the distinguished honor of
nominating MIR. Lawler for gov
ernor. | said then that he would
make the most vigorous. rafting cam
paign of any man who ever ran for gov
ernor in the state; that he would go
over the state like tidal wave, sweep
ing everything before him. Ladies
and gentlemen, he comes back to
us today after having made the
most brilliant campaign in this state
ever made by the nominee of any party.
He has swept everything before him,
and he will he elected governor of Min
nesota as surely as the Sth day of No
yember comes. l told you so; and l
think have right to say that. L have
the honor to introduce our hero, the
Hon. Daniel W. Lawler.
As the magnificent physique of Mr..
Lawler lowered up before the audience
aud he advanced toward the fOOtlightS
the scene below resembIed pandemoni-
um. Men jumped up in their seats, threw
their hats into the air and shouted until
they were hoarse. Even the women
gave vent to their feelings in screams.
For while it looked as though Mr.
Lawler would find no place TO put in a
word; it seemed as though the cheering
would never cease. At length the
aged Mr.. Williams stepped to the front,
and, after few efforts, made
himself heard in call for three cheers
for Hon. Daniel w. LAWYER, the hero of
the hour. The cheers were given in a
volume which seemed great enough to
burst the building. This seemed to
clear the atmosphere. and Mr. Lawler
was permitted to be heard, though he
was interrupted AT almost every breath
by applause. He said:
My Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gen
tlemen: l have only few words to say
to this magnificent sea of faces Speak
ing in that deliberate, magnetic and
Statesmanlike style characteristic of
HIM. After this magnificent address
which has fallen from the lips of this
great writer and thinker it would ill be-
come ME to attempt to speak to you
at length. 1 have only one word to say.
During the past eleven weeks L have
been over this great state. l have
had my hand on the pulse of
the people and looked into faces
of the farmers of the state.
And have to say to you tonight that if
these two counties do their part Mime
sofa will be all right. | believe that
this time Democracy is going 10 WIN. [
believe that the Democratic party is as
aggressively honest as Cleveland has al
ways been.
