constantly and persistently labor.
Our party responsibility isindeed
great. We assume amomentousob-
legation to our countrymen. In re-
turn for their trust and confidence
we promise them a rectifcation of
their wrongs and a better realiza-
tion of the advantages which are
due them under our free and ben
Efficient institutions.
But if our responsibility is great,
our party is strong tits strong in
its sympathy with the needs of the
people, in its insistence upon the
exercise Of the governmental pow
ers strictly within the constitutional
permission the people have granted,
and in its willingness to risk its life
and hope upon the peoples intelli-
gence and patriotism.
Never has a great party, intent
upon the promotion Of right and
justice, had better incentive for eff
fort than is now presented to us.
Turning our eyes to the plain peo-
Pile Of the land, we see them burden
ed as consumers with tariff system
that unjustly and relentlessly de-
mands from them in the purchase
of the necessaries and comforts of
life an amount scarcely met by the
wages of hard and steady toll, while
exactions thus wrung from them
build up and increase the fortunes
of those for whose benefit this in
justice is perpetuated.
We see a farmer listening to q de-
lusive story that fills his mind with
visionsof advantage, while hispock-
ct is robbed by the stealthy hand Of
high protection. Our workingmen
are still told the tale, oft repeated
in spite Of its demonstrated falsity
that the existing protective tariff is
q boon to them, and that under its
beneficent operation their wages
must increase, while as they listen
scenes are enacted in the very abid-
ing place Of high protection thai
mock the hopes of toll and attest
the tender mercy the workingmar
receives from those made selfisl
and soFdid by unjust governmental
favoribism.
We oppose earnestly and stub
bornly the theory upon which ou
opponents seek to Justify and up
hold the existing tariff laws. w
need not base our attack upon ques
tions of constitutional permission
or legislativepower. Wedenounc'
this theory upon the highest posi-
BILE grounds when we contend tha
in present conditions it's operation
is unjust and that laws enacted il
accordance with it are inequitabl
and unfair.
Ours is not a destructive party
We are not at enmity with tn
} rights of any of our citizens. Al
are our countPymen. We are nc
recklessly needless Of any America
interests, nor will we abandon OH
regard for them; but invoking tn
love Of fairness and justice whic
E belong to true Americanism an
upon which our Constitution rest.
+ we insist that no plan of tariff lee

for its object and purpose a force

income of the mass of our citizen
to swell directly the accumulation

DOuy you represent
In delivering his arraignment of
the Republican party Mr.. Cleve-
lands tone grew triAe harsher and
his delivery more emphatic, which
evidently found an echo in the sent
iment of the audience.
When he said, "Let us tell the
people what we believe" his voice
rose even higher and he lifted his
hands in an impressive way above
his head.
1t was 9.10 o'clock when the ex-
President finished. The applause
which followed the close of his
speech was deafening and ended
with cries Of four, four, four years
more"
The next speaker, ex-Lieutenant
Governor Steven M. White, of Gel
ifornia, had more success with his
speech, notifying General Steven
son Of his nomination, than did Mr.
Wilson in his effort
Mr.. Whites voice was most pow
erful. He quelled the disturbance
by its strength. Every word was
heard. When he had finished Mr.
Bell again read theoonvention nom-
ination.
Prolonged applause almost equal
ing that extended to the ex-Presi-
dent was the salutation which Mr..
Stevenson received as he turned to
respond to the committee. Wav-
ing his hand deprecatingly for ST.
lence, MI. Stevenson delivered his
speech with good effect.

GREAT DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE.
STRONG SPEECHES by THE NOMINEES.
Mr. Cleveland and MIR, Stevenson Notified
of Their Nomination.

OF Their Nomination,
Grover Cleveland and Adlai Z.
Stevenson have been officially no.
titled that they are the choice of the
Democracy Of this great country to
lead the party to victory.
The notification took place in
New York Wednesday night of last
week in the presence of crowd of
people thatsurpassedi i'll enthusiasm
and numbers even that vast throng
that on September 6, 1888, at the
same place, gave greeting to Allen
G. Thurman.
The great amphitheater Of Mad
ison Square Garden was crowded as
it never had been before, fully 20,-
600 people being present, 1t was
a great popular demonstration,
party love feast and fete champetre
III which Democrats of all condi-
tions from every part Of the Union
participated.
No Aztec could have been more
loyal to his mystic faith, and no
Mohammedan more Jealous to his
creed, than the great leaders from
the North and South, East and
West who gathered to pay homage
TO- the national standard-bearers of
the party numbering in its ranks
all classes Of the people, from the
lowest to the highest.
Mr.. Stevenson was the first 10
appear, and as the vast crowd rec
Qgnized the Vice Presidential can
didate the great building fairly
trembled with loyal Democratic
cheers.
Of course the great ovation of the
evening was reserved for Grover
Cleveland. AS he entered the hall,
and ere he had scarce crossed the
portals Of the stage entrance, the
sharp eye of some one from the real
Of the gallery, 800 feet away, rec
ognized his familiar form, and the
shriH cry of "Here comes Cleve-
land" was the signal for a demon
stration that Mr.. Cleveland has not
witnessed since 1888. After wait
ing some time for an opportunity
to be heard, and for the uproar OF
applause to subside, Mr.. Cleveland
arose, and Chairman William l.
Wilson, of the notification commit
aee, notified him IN a speech of Il
minutes duration that he had beer
nominated for the Presidency.
In the same manner Secretar,
Nicholas Bell, Of the notification
committee, read the Official lette
Of notification.
Mr. Cleveland then arose to re
ply, and again pandemonium reign
ed. 1t was one terrific roar, ant
to add to the excitement the i'm
mense standing crowd of 1900
people swayed back and forth an,
crushed upon the press inclOsure
Mr.. Cleveland began to speak i
the midst of the noise, and it grad
ually dawned upon the crowd tha
they were losing the best part Q

SulSe OF protecting tne Suffrage,
covers but does not conceal, de-
sign to thereby perpetuate in power
a party afraid to trust its continu-
ance to the untrammeled and in
telligent votes to the American peo-
pie. We are pledged to resist the
Legislation intended to complete
this scheme because we have not
forgotten the saturnalia of thefts
and brutal control which followed
another federal regulation of State
suffrage; because we know that the
managers of a party which did not
scruple to rob the people of Pres
ident, would not hesitate to use the
machinery created by such legisla-
ton to revive corrupt instrument
talities for partisan purposes; be-
cause any attempt to force such
legislation would rekindle animos-
tiles where peace and hopefulness
now prevail; because such an at
tempt would replace prosperous ac-
tivity with Encouragement and
dread throughout q large section
of our country and would menace
everywhere in the land the rights
reserved to the States and to the
people which underlie the safe
guards of American liberty.
| shall not attempt to specify at
this time other objects and aims of
Democratic endeavor which add in
spiration to our mission. True to
It's history and its creed, our party
will respond to the wants of the
people within safe lines and guided
by enlightened craftsmanship. TC
the troubled and impatient within
our membership, we commend con-
tinued, unswerving allegiance tc
the party whose principles, in all
times past. have been found suffi.
cient for them, and whose aggre.
gate wisdom and patriotism, theil
experience teaches, can always be
trusted.
In a tone of partisanship which
befts the occasion, let me say tC
you as equal partners in the cam
paign upon which we to-day enter
that the personal fortunes of those
to whom you have entrusted you
banners are only important as they
are related to the fate of the prin
ciples they represent and to tn,
party which they lead.

THE free silver men are at high
tide. Monday they were successful
in getting the house to agree to con-
slider the Bland bill for three days,
commencing March %. That the
measure will pass the House is ad-
mitted on all sides. Vainly did the
anti-silyerites implore eX-Speaker
Reed to help them out of the dilemma
into which they had fallen, but he de-
clined to render them any assistance.
1t was not Republican quarrel and
he preferred to let the Democracy
settle it to suit themselves. tits said
that the anti-silver Democrats are
very gloomy over the situation, while
Senator Hill is.repOrted to have tele-
graphed to Washington that if the
House accepted free silver, the Demo.
cratic nomination was valueleSS. All
this the Republicans can view with
tomplacency. If the Democrats desire
to commit political suicide the Repub.
licans will mot cry over it.

held at the Methodist church, the
pastor being aided by the Rev. Parr

The farmers of Old Mapleton are
having a meeting today for the pur-
pose of purchasing one of John Skaters

A good evidence of the prosperity OF
the town and vii lage of Mapleton is
the fact that every person has paid
his personal property taxes.
Farm help is unusually scarce this
spring and we know of several farm.

far as New York and Chicago fol

THIS is March Sth and Congress has
been in session since the first Monday
of last December, yet every word of
the Mckinley law, which the House
was said to have been elected to re-
peal, remains intact, without so much
as an attempt at displacement. Even
the ''retail" policy of dealing with the
tariff that was promised has not come
to the front as expected.

PROF. McCLEARY FOR CONGRESS-.
Blue Earth COunty's FavOrite Son
Forging to The Front.
What The Newspapers Say.


The newspapers are saying some
very pleasant things in connection
with the candidacy of Prof. McCleary
for congress and, best of all, what
they say is true Martin County Sen
tinel.
Among the large number OF candl-
dates for congress no one is Celng more
favorably received than Jas. L. NC
Cleary, of Mankato. He is not poll
tician but clean cut gentleman, who
has more personal friends in the dis
trict than any other man we know OF.

The actual and probable candidates
for congress in this district are as fol-
lows: Senator Davis and Lieut.. Gov.
Ives of Nicollett county, Prof. Nc
Cleary of Blue Earth and Hon. o. b.
Turrell of Redwood. If this list is
not enlarged it will be impossible for
a nominating convention to make a
mistake in the selection of a suitable
candidate. Martin County Sentinel.

Prof. j. T. McCleary of the Mankato
Normal School is prominent candl-
date for congress in this district. Mr..
McCleary isQuite well known through
out the district as an educator, and
has the reputation of being a thor
ough Republican. He is receiving
many kind and complimentary notices
from the press Of this district. We
can heartily recommend him to the
voters of this county Blue Earth Citg
Post.
1t will be a pleasure to the many
friends of Prof. J. T. McCleary to learn
that he has consented to be candl-
date for Representative in congress
from this district. In ability the
Professor stands second to no one in
the state, in all that the word ability
implies His integrity, his knowledge
of governmental principles, his un-
firing zeal and Iersonal magnetism
eminently fit him for the position.
The people of this district will make
no mistake in giving him their earn
est upport.-Granite Falls Journal
The Lake Crystal Mirror had an
editorial on the congressional outlook
in the second district, and spoke OF
Prof. j. T. McCleary, Of Mankato, as
a prominent candidate for nomination
on the Republican ticket.
We have had the pleasure of know
ing Mr.. McCleary for several years,
and hold him in the highest esteem
Although he is not Of the same politi'
cal faith, we are glad to state that he
is ''every inch a man." and one tC
whom politics is not simply scram
bic to get and retain Office, but as
Webster says: "The Science of Gov.
ernment." Prof McCleary is WELL
READ in all that the term implies, and
has made special study of Civics
upon which he has written an able
and authoritative text book. These
qualifications, combined with his
wide circle of friends, will make him
an especially strong catdidate, and
one Of whom any party might well be
proud. If our congress could be Who'll.
