HONEST MONEY.
Although Notice Was Short a Large
Number of Farmers Attended
the Rally.
VICTORY.
Farnsworth of Penn, and Spencer,
Bentley, Brundage, and Packard J
the Speakers.
An Enthusiastic Meeting.

It was the universal verdict that Wed.
nesdsy's meeting was an immense sue
cess. Nothing like it for years. There
was not a hitch in the proceedings any.
where, and as the TRIBUNE said-but
little notice is needed for a republican
rally in Bismarck. because Bismarck has
reason to be friendly to the republican
party because the candid. 80 on that
ticket are and have been friends of Bis
marck. The preliminary ceremonies
the torchlight procession, the fireworks,
the bonfire, the band, the greeting to
the Mandan visitors-were interesting
and everybody took hold with something
like the old-time enthusiasm. The spa
cious Atheneum, SO neatly and appro-
priately decorated by Farmer Wallace,
was filled to OVERLOOKING with ladies and
gentlemen. Every seat was filled and
many stood up, while the gallery con-
tanned more people than frequently
turn out to ordinary entertainments. It
was a good meeting and everybody who
was there so declares.
General Hughes presided and in in
PRODUCING Mr.. W. @. F%arnsworth of
Pennsylvania, the speaker of the even
ing, he took occasion to say that most of
the men who did the fighting thirty
years ago for the republican party have
gone and the mon who must do and are
doing the fighting to-day are young men
n of whom he was pleased to intro
duce,
MR.. FARNswoRTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Mr.. Farnsworth is quite a different
man from what the audience had been
led to believe he was from newspaper
accounts. He is a young mana lawyer
of good address and pleasant manner
He said he had two or three explanations
to make at the outset before addressing
himself to the issues of the campaign.
He had contracted a severe cold and his
voice was a little out of whack, and then
he had been unfortunate in being adver-
tised, or rather in not being properly
advertised by the national committee
and other committees in the places he
had visited. At one point in Ohio he
was billed as a distinguished citizen OF
Pennsylvania" in another place as the
"most distinguished Citizen" and upon
arriving at Bismarck found himself ad-
vertised as General Farnsworth." He
explained to the audience that the high.
est rank he ever had was that of ~lieuten.
ant in a militia company, but was kicked
out because he refused to march in q
democratic procession. He also ran for
congress in 1890 in the Seventeenth dis.
trict and was defeated. He thought
titles must be cheap in this country, OF
else, like Kentucky, the people here
| thought a nan must have a title to be
anybody.
He said in this campaign the issues
were clearly defined. The democrats
had always managed to evade all ques.
tions of national Importance until 1885,
they have come out, in their platform
squarely for free trade and boldly de-
clared the Mckinley bill %unconstitu'
tional. He asked a comparison of The
candidates. He said the candidate o.
the republican party was q man, who

disunion did not wait to be drafted il

substitute-but responded to the frs
call and was always to the front, asking
his men to 60 nowhere where he himsel
would not lead them. He was a MAJ
