colored orators, was given a grand re-
ception last night al Turner hall. The
auditorium and gallery were packed to
Standing room to hear Mr.. Turner give
reasons why the colored people in COM
mon with the masses of the people who
prize personal liberty in its largest
sense should be Democrats. The greet
Ing OF Mr.. Turner was most cordial;
and his address drew out unbounded
enthusiasm and applause. His roun ded
periods of oratory held the audience
like magic until the climax was reached,
and then even gray-haired men on the
stage joined with the audience
liz cheers and applause. The meeting
was the most enthusiastic one held in
the city this campaign. The Eighth
and Sixth wards marching clubs ap-
peared in uniforms with aggregations
that probably eQnaled the numbers who
attended the Market hall meeting, that
was advertised for Senator SpooDer.
The clubs are both strong and made
fine display on the street, both before
and after the meeting. The Eighth ward
club was headed by fine drum corps
aid the Sixth ward club by the West
side cornet band.
The clubs arrived at the hall while
Chairman Hazel was making the opening
speech. They marched up the aisles,
and the presidents took the meeting by
surprise with the novel statements that
the clubs reported for duty. These short
speeches were greeted with rounds of
applause. and, as the orator of the even
ing said later, struck at the great issue
of this campaign, and if all Democrats
fn MY oil no
cause of the people will triumph, and
the Democrats will assume control of
the nation and the state of Minnesota.
Among the prominent citizens seated
on the stage were noticed eXMayor
Smith, Hon. j. n. Castle, William Pitt
Murray. p. }. Smalley. Judge Brisbin,
George Dorm, personal friend of Mr..
Turner: Sam Hardy. Dan Aberle, Will
lam Rodger, J. j. Ryder, president of
the Eighth ward club: W. A. Hazel,
Frank Battley ana John V. |. Dodd,
candidate for the legislature from the
Sixth ward.
The meeting was called TO order by
Col. Sam Hardy, who made short
speech, in which he exclaimed with
considerable gusto that he felt like an
American citizen. Col Hardy then
introduced w. A. Hazel as chairman
of the meeting. MIR. Hazel is very
Intelligent eolored man, and is
widely known as the manager of a
firm which manufactures stained glass
windows. The speech of Mr.. Hazel
possessed much more than ordinary
merit. and he gave excellent reasons
Shy the colored people should join the
Democrats in putting down the Repub-
lican party. He paid high tribute to
MIR. Turner, and said that while Lin
coin had emancipated the bodies.of the
negroes, the efforts of Turner are to
freesouls of the same people from the
thralldom Of party that uses them for
its selfish purposes but to uprald them
when the purpose had been served. He
paid his respects to Mr.. Lynch.
of Mississippi, and said that
he was unwilling to accord to
the colored people the full rights of
citizenship, but wanted to keep them
in the Republican party to perpetuate
the power Of the party now in power
and asserted that the negro has no right
to be Democrat. He thought the plan
proposed by Mr.. Lynch gave the
negroes no greater right than they now
have, as the negroes of the North,get no
more for voting in the North than they
do in the South, as far as the offices are
concerned Che might have said that
they no not get Offices in the North as
urged the colored men present to
bear their gifts to the Democratic
party this year and help to elect Cleve-
land, as it is through him that they hope
for the solution of the race problem.
Mr.. Hazel then spoke for a short time
OIL the tariff and illustrated how the
tariff on glass does not benefit workers
In the manufacture of stained glass
windows. He had found that tariff of
60 per cent on glass Jewels did not pre-
vent manufacturers of windows from
bringing in the finished produst free of
duty when designed for church Will

Turner's Talk.
j. Milton Turner, of ST. Louis, was
cheered to the echo when he rose to
speak, and, the applause prevented his
proceeding for several minutes. The
applause was none the less at several
periods during his speech.
Mr.. Turner opened his eloquent adj
dress with the statement that:
After many years of patient
thought and discussions with Carl
SchurZ, George P. Vest, Frank
r. Blair. and leading Republicans.

In graceful tribute TO Minnesota
the speaker said: ''Some afternoon,
when God was taking an afternoon of
pleasure. He created the state of Min
nesota. Such a state is where Democ-
racy of the Jefferson type has its home.
There the people of all nations can have
