One of the grandeSt Democratic raj
lies of Gov. LAWYERS campaign was held
at South ST. Paul last evening. The city
was in blaze of glory. 1t was torn
from ceuter to circumference with en-
thusiaSm before the arrival of the great
leader. And upon his appearance the
whole population broke into such APP
plauSe as was never seen in that place
before. No one seemed to have lung
power enough to express his feelings,
and Threats were bursting with huZZahS
and shouts. Several other speakers
were present, among them being }. Z.
NethaWay, the Democratic candidate for
attorney general, and j. }. Ryder.
A white hat brigade of st. Paul Demo
Gratis, accompanied by the Seventh
Ward Marching club and large drum
corps, went down, nearly 200 OF them.
on the z o'clock motor train, and the
rest an hour later. The first train was
met by a large delegation of South st.
Paul people, among which were
One Hundred on Horseback.
The drum corps was taken in band
wagon, drawn by four horses. and then
a procession of wagons and hOrsemen
was formed, and proceeded up Concord
street 10 meet Gov. LaWler, who was on
his way down in a carriage. They met
him two miles up the road and escorted
him back, rending the night with huZ-
zahS the entire way.
At the town hall house jammed with
people was IN waiting. The enthusiasm
was SO great in the hall that it was some
minutes before it was possible to open
the exercises. At length. John Rogers,
of the Seventh Ward club. vino is prom
inent stock dealer at South st.
Paul, found an opportunity to in
troduce Mr.. LAWYER. He intro
duced him as being no mans man. but
one who believed in equal rights to all
and special rights to none; a man whose
personal magnetism. incontrovertible
logic and sterling qualities have swept
everything before him on his tour
through the state, and who comes back
to us with the brightest hopes of snc-
cess for the Democratic party.
Mr.. Lawler, in his speech, went over
some of the ground which he covered
in his recent ST. Paul speeches. and
which were reported at the time in the
GLOBE. But he spoke rather more at
some things he mentioned here, and
touched upon different features. The
following are some things he said:
II am free" he said, ''tO confess that
tonight [ feel an embarrassment that |
have not experienced at any time be-
fore. | feel how utterly inadequate
words are to express my heartfelt thanks
for this splendid demonstration. thank
you one and all for greeting me thus on
this inclement night. We have assem-
bIed to discuss, i'll an intelligent and
rational way, some of the issues upon
which we are called to pass Nov. s. We
are not here to abuse any person or
party. All we ask is that you honestly
and intellgently examine the issues.
and we have no doubt of the result.
There is but one true issue in this cam
pagn. The distinguished candidate of
the Republican party has labored very
hard in his speeches over the state to
make the people believe that the Ques-
ton at stake is one concerning the
financial policy Of the country. | be-
leve we should be charitable | have
not word of cenSure to heap upon Mr..
Nelson"
Nelson's Change of Heart
The speaker recalled the time when
Mr. Nelson Oh the floor Of the house of
representatives babe goodbye to the
Republican party: told the leaders that
the time had come when the party
should turn its back on moDopoieS, but
had failed to do SO; it had promised the
people tariff reform, but failed to keep
its promise. 81 say from my heart"
continued MIR. Lawler, THAT he would
better have died then: he would have
left better name for his children
In oil Of
the United States. 1t is because he is
an honest man that he does not meet
the people with discussion of this
the only issue. The people of this state
made up their minds five years ago
that that question must be settled be-
fore they would listen to Republican
speakers. Five years ago the greatest
man of this country laid down the doc
trine which touched the hearts of the
people. That great man, Grover Cleve-
land, looked into the treasury of the
United States and saw gold piling
up there at the rate of 100000
600 year; money which was drawn
from the blood of the people, and which
the treasurer said was not needed to
run the affairs of the government, but
piling up to subserve the interests of
the money mOnarchs of the East. He
told the people that this burden must
be lightened. You remember many of
the Democratic politicians OF the East,
men who were after the spoils, whose
ambitions we're for the fleshpOtS. be-
seached MI. Cleveland to delay his
promised message until after the
election OF the coming year. They
warned him that such a radical doc
trine would endanger the prospects of
the Democratic party in the coming
campaign, as it was so close by that the
people would not have time to study
and understand it; and Mr.. Cleveland
knew that he was probably writing his
death warrant when he attached his
signature to that message. But turning
to his oath of office, and thinking only
of that high obligation, he delivered
that great message, telling congress of
their great duty to the people. In
campaign in which the true issues we're
kept from the people, while the Golfers
of the United States treasury were
overlooking with gold, Grover Cleveland
chung to his principles and walked to
defeat 10000 times more glorious than
was the victory of Benjamin Harrison.
Swept Over the Country,
despite the politicians, and he received
a popular majority of nearly 100000
votes. Today those principles are III the
hearts of the people from one end of
this broad land to the other, land | do not
believe anything can happen between
now and Nov. s to prevent the election
of Grover Cleveland by one OF the most
magnificent majorities ever received by
! a presidential candidate.
1t is not my intention to enter into a
detailed discussion of the tariff question
