A RoUs1NG RALLY.
The Cleveland Club of the Tenth Ward is
Addressed by Prominent Democrats.
Last Tuesday night the Democrats OF
the Tenth ward held grand rally at
Camden Place, the meeting being under
the auspices of the Cleveland Club.
Hon. John w. Willis, the eloquent St.
Paul attorney and one of the ablest stump
speakers in he state, made the first adj
dress of the evening and reused his audi
ence to the highest pitch Of enthusiasm.
He allnded to Knute Nelson's inconsist-
ency on the tariff question and said:
'The Norweqians regard the nomination
of Knute Nelson as direct insult to
them and cannot be made to vote for a
candidate simply because that candidate
is of their nationality, for the Norwegian
people are among the most intelligent
people of the world. The great issue be-
fore the people of this country to-day is
the issue arising from the question of
taxation. The high tariff does not pro-
tect labor. You all know that, for you
have read it in the roar of the musketry
at Homestead. When the manufacturers
secured what they wanted they reduced
the wages. Knute Nelson, the Republi-
can candidate for governor of this state,
when he was in congress spoke in favor
of low tariff and also voted for the Mills
bill, and to-day he is parading this state
telling people how proud he is of the Nc
Kinfey bill. He is boasting about the
skunk under the Republican barn. There
is absolutely nothing of this kind which
can be said about Daniel W. Lswler, the
Democratic nominee for governor, and in
consequence the Republicans are appeal
ling to the race preiudices of the people
Of this state The high tariff people be-
leve in taxing all the good things for the
benefit of the rich and telling the poor
people TO stay home, pay their taxes and
never think about the good things. The
Democratic party believes in freedom
and liberty for all, and is and has been,
since the time of Jefferson, fighting the
cause of the common people. 1t repudi-
ates the idea of making the rich richer
and the poor poorer so that the rich can
take care of the poor. After March 4,
Benjamin Harrison, who has, for the last
four years, been trying to swell his head
enough to fill grandfather's hat, will re-
tire to Indiana and sit beside that hat
and think of what might have BEEN"

Hawkins, the Democratic nominee for

pressing regrets for being unable to at

candidate for attorney general, followed
Mr.. Willis in a rafting speech which
elected great applause. In the cousre
of his address he said: "This is not
campaign of abuse and mud-slinging but
it is a campaign of education, and al
though one of the papers of this state has
seen fit to make personal assault upon
me shall indulge il no personalities in
return. I respect my opponent. He is
a gentleman, and never from my mouth
will fall one word that will cast sins le
slur upon him. Some have disposition
to attempt to place my name in Ill repute
among the laboring men of this state,
but were all the papers Of this state to as
sault me I would stand by the laborlng
people still. [Great applause.] As said
before, the question and Issue of this
campaign is one Of education, and when
the Republicans are shown how the party
they have loved and followed for years
has passed into the control of corpora
tions and monopolists, by means of the
ballot, a power which lies at their hand.
they will correct these wrongs
James w. Lawrence, candidate for con
.gress from the Fifth district, spoke briefly
and said he was proud of being a Demo-
crat and proud of Grover Cleveland who
dared to do right even when it cost him
the presidency Of the United States, but
uext November he will receive his reward
at the hands Of the people Of this great
country. The speaker did not believe
IN doctrine which would make the poor
poorer and the rich richer, but he be-
lieYed in the great Democratic doctrine
that ali men are born equal, and was
proud Of being Democrat, because the
people Of this country are ranking them
selves shoulder to shoulder u their up,
