An INSPIRING seen.
at Martins Opera House-Lawler
Sneaks in Two Languages.


Imagination could scarcely conceive
more intense ferYOr and enthusiasm
than that which quickened the pulse of
The GermanAmerican citizens of st.
Paul. together with their Minneapolis
guests, last night.
mo one knows ID. w. LAWYER but to
respect him. said Louis Stern, the sill
ver-tongued orator, in that pure Ger
man that is rich in rhetoric and sweet
in euphony. mo one knows him but
to love him." emphasized the brilliant
German journalist, and the cheers that
were aroused by the proposition sent
their greetings to every true American
citizen in the state. They accumulated
the truthfulnesS OF the claim, and Mr..
LAWYERS presence added to the Jealous
patriotism that sent a thrill of pride
through the vast audience that had
crowded into Martins opera house to
listen to the logic and sound reasoning
of Miunesota's next governor.
1t was Lawler night. But he gener-
Ously divided the honors with every
other candidate that has been placed in
nomination by the party of progression
and reform.
1t was after 10 o'clock when the au-
dience had filled the opera house to
overlooking, and the marching clubs
were still filing the air all along the
streets with huZzas, that Hon. d. w.
LAWYER stepped to the stage. He was
accompanied by committeeman and
candidates, but the wild Stout rent the
air:
"Lawler!" 'Lawler!'
And he gracefully bowed an acknoWl-
edgment OF the compliment. But he was
not ready to make his address. Hats
filled the air however, and ladies waved
their handkerthiefS as MinneSota'S
-favorite son took a seat on the stage.
j. n. Castle came next and once
more cheers upon cheers sent out the
tidings that COMMUNICATIONS are
loyal to political principles and that
they will support the gallant stateman
and premier lawyer in preference to A.
r. Kieter, of less than mediocre ability.
Then John w. Willis. born in ST. Paul,
was rendered an ovation. Charley Haas,
Pierce Butler and Jimmie Burns were
not overlooked Anton Miesen came
upon the stage still later and again the
echoes were raised; and when the
Eighth ward club sent to the stage its
elegant oil-painted Cleveland banner,
the enthusiasm knew no bounds. The
vast throng cheered as though in dan
ger of bursting their Threats. Indeed,
rs indicated above, enthusiasm was
rampant throughout. st. Paul never
experienced anything like it before.
When Louis Stern called the meeting
to order, the Impatience Of the concourse
prompted many interruption. A wild
shout went through the hall for Lawler,
but Louis was on the programme for
the first speech. 1t was in German, and
it was electrical. His compatriots arose
from their seats with lusty cheers at
certain periods when Mr.. Stern scored
particular point.
Mr.. Stearn dealt with the issues of the
campaign, and he gave an effective
dissertation upon the platforms of the
two great parties, and he showed why
German Americans should be Demo
Gratis. AT the conclusion of his
address he introduced Mr.. LAWYER.
This was the signal for an
other outbnrst of spontaneous enthusi-
asm. The audience made the Welllin
ring, and it was several moments before
Mr.. LAWYER WAS permitted to begin his
speech. In the main he spoke in Ger
man, and it was good German, too, as
was attested TO by the Germans, who
cheered Inn to the echo as he pro-
crossed with his discourse.
1t was literary feast, and stands in
striking contrast to the efforts Of the
opposition. Yes, and the national pre-
objection Of the Germans that Inherent
love Of song-Was an affecting feature
Of the demonstration. A neatly printed
