In one portion of his discourse, Mr.
Shearman remarked that he understood
Minneapolis had wOoleu mill. and he
wished he knew what wages were paid.
Il can tell you," shouted a we'll
dressed man in the audience. 81 know a
young girl who went there to get work,
and they told her if she couldn't work
for S1.50 a week they could find no use
for her."
Mr.. Haynes was the next speaker.
He was in humorous mood. and
begged his auditors pathetically not to
leave the theater Just because he was
going to say few words. He promised
to be brief, and edited his hearers with
eulogy on Mr.. Shearman. Mr.. Haynes
said he had known the preceding
speaker for many years, and knew him
to be an able lawyer. thorough bnsi-
ness man, and one who understands the
free trade question thoroughly. IL was
only theorists, school men and young
men who did not know their business,
who advocated protective tariff. Mr.
Haynes said it was a puzzle to him how
any man after listening to thoro ugh
expose of the fallaclous protective tariff
doctrine could still be Republican. He
knew positively that men IN all parts of
the country were turning over new
leaf and becoming Democrats and free
trade men. Why should man hesitate
to change his politics simply because of
fear people would call him a turn
coat?
LaWler the FavOrite.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Haynes re-
marks. the glee club sang a topical
campaign son and put the audience in
the best of humOr. Mr. Lawler was
then introduced as 1.-The next governor
Of Minnesota" and it was fully five
minutes before the applause ceased.
The ladies as well as the men cried
"Hurrah for Lawler" When quiet
was restored the favorite candidate
said:
ut is conceded by all intelligent men
that, as far as the two great parties are
cOncered. only one great question is at
issue. 1t is true that Mr.. Nelson has
been endeavoring to show the people of
the state financial question
at issue between the two par
ties. He has endeavored to show
that the wildcat currency and rag money
of the war will come back if the Demo
Gratis win the battle. l do not propose
to argue On this point, for 1t is too alb
surd. and l do not believe any Repub-
lican speaker can make anybody believe
that that party whose bones and slnews
are of the people is in favor of any
financial system which means a dollar
which Is not dollar in value, no matter
whether it be gold, silver or paper cur
rency. Mr.. Nelson's absurd speeches
on this false question are laughable.
"lf the Democratic party succeeds IN
Minnesota this year, it will be because
the independent and fair-minded people
OF all parties believe the Democratic
party stands for the interests OF the
people in this great contest. 1t would
not be proper for me to say word that
would further embarrasS the Repub-
lican party In this campaign, for have
nothing but respect for the rank and
file OF the party. The people who have
been voting the Republican ticket, or
rather the great mass OF them, are hon
views have been disregarded that the
Democrats are going to carry this state
this year.
1T is not a question of tariff princi-
piles between the two parties, but it is
question of whether the people or
The Robber BarOns
of the East shall fix the tariff tax for
their own benefit. 1t was twenty-seven
years ago that Lee surrendered at Ap-
pomattox, and the only thing left
OF that horrible struggle is
the protective tariff. The great
men who founded the Republican
party have gone to their rest, or turned
their backs upon what they made. In
their places at the lead of the great
party are men who are not fit to tie the
shoe strings of the men gone before
men OF dlsrepute. such as Platt, of New
York; Quay. of Pennsylvania. or Car
negie, OF Homestead and Scotland.
The Republican papers of this state
until recently were in favor of a tariff
reform. Now that an election is at hand,
they have changed. So, too, did the
Republican representatives change on
the tariff question when they got to
Washington and outside the atmosphere
OF Minnesota into the political and wire
pulling atmosphere of Washington. The
people, If they want man who will
be in touch with the next administra-
tion-for Cleveland will be elected-a
man whose heart is with them at
every turn, must vote for Hon. James
Lawrence for congress. He is a man
who will go to Washington and work
for the welfare of his state and constit-
uents. Thirty-two years have gone by
since the Republican party secured
control of the state of Minnesota.
If matters have gone wrong and the
public'S money has not been handled
justly and with care. the fault must
hang about the neck OF the Republican
party. 1t is thirty-twO years since the
states books and finances have been
examined. save by the servants of
the Republican party. | do not
say there have been any abuses,
but where unbridled license has existed
for thirty two years, there must be
something which can be bettered. If |

Owing to the iateness of the hour
when Mr.. Lawler concluded the remain
ing speakers, MesSrS. Nethaway, Haw-
kins and Lawrence, had to confine them
selves to a very few moments. Judge
Nethaway said he felt confident the De-
mocracy would win in the state this fall.
His experience in stumping every county
had been favorable to such a result.
The judge could not forbear roasting
