like warehouse of the rolling mills at
IrOndale was held last night what may
honestly be termed one of the greatest
and most significant political mass
meetings ever held in this state. Gov.
Lawler, Congressman Castle, Judges
Nethaway and Willis, and others from
st. Paul were taken by special
train from st. Anthony Park
to New Brighton, where torchlight
procession and band met them. A
parade was formed and marched
through the town, with the distin-
| guished guests in the van. The enthu-
| siasm was unlimited, and the whole
surrounding country seemed to have
| tlocked in to do honor to the next gov
| ernor, to Hon. Michael Doran, who was
| present, and The other candidates Of
| the Democracy.
When the train was again boarded
| several coaches had been added to ac-
commodate the crowd, and when Iron
| dale was reached there was a really sur
| prSing turnout of the residents of that
end of Ramsey county to greet the Wis
itOrs. Ranks were formed once more
| and the whole body of men marched into
the grounds of the rolling mill, amid
cheers for Cleveland, Lawler. Castle
and other Standard-be bearers of the party.
Assembled in the place of meeting
| the scene was
| Weird but Impressive One.
No light other than the Pickering
torches was available, and scattered
| throughout the dense throng these
| n tn al To- 1,oh
the earnest faces of mechanics, farmers,
laborers and others who had
come to hear the cOnquerng lead
er of the Minnesota Democracy and
his friends speak for the faith that is
-impel1ing and sustaining them in the
greatest fight for right anu justice ever
waged in the Northwest. So remark
able was the enthusiasm that even the
women caught the inspiration, and
several graced the occasion by
their presnce. For three solid
hours the interested multitude
sat aid stood in that gloomy storehouse
of manufactured iron product. cold and
cherries Eand smoke-filled as it was,
listening with close attention to the
speakers. applaudiag telling hits. and
seeming to have no other idea of their
| surroundings than that the truth WY
good to hear. Discomfort was ignores,
or neutrality-suspicious. was the mOvitfk
spirit.
j. 5. Maxwell presided, and John ~
White, OF Chicago, opened the meetinS,
with mastery presentation of tie
weaknesses of the position OF Mckinley
and his cohorts. Though frequently in
terrupted by questions, he proved him
self student armed at all points and
| well equipped to elucidate and defend
| Democracy's principles and position OH
| all public questions.
Judge Nethaway followed :Mr. White
In brief but happy talk on the bright
| prospects for Democratic victory, and
then came the man who is occupying so
much public attention at the present
| time.
Dan w. LAWYER received such an ova-
ton from the throng that for some time
he was not able to proceed. When he
did get chance TO be heard, he deliv-
eren short speech in his best vein.
Every sentence was stamped with the
| earneStneSS of the orator; every state
ment was clinched by lucid, clever
and convincing argument; every listen
er was impressed by the pow
erful, magnetic personality of the lead
er. Again and again did his auditors
interrupt the discourse with cheers that
reverberated shrilly among the pillars
| Z.
Gov. Lawler plainly had the hearts of
his listeners with him, and his scathing
arraignment or Republican laundering
folly and treachery found Endorsement
| OF the most sincere kind in the
Tremendous Scene of EntIl u siasrn
which marked the close of his address,,
J. j. Ryder spoke briefly, but vigor-
Ously, of the necessity for strict adher-
ence to the course laid down by Demo
cratic platforms and conventions, and
! dweit especially on the paramount nee
essity of sending to the state legislature
man who would truly represent his
constituents in shelving c. X. Davis and
defeating the schemers who are so
desperately seeking his retention.
The public record of ID. M. Sullivan
was reviewed by j. j. Ryan in speech
that was not only earnest and able, but
| that was based on the official record.
Mr.. Ryan'S effort may be counted on to
leave the whilom alderman few friends
among those who think the laborer is
worthy of his hire. He spoke of the
Democratic county ticket in warm terms
as being composed of men who should
and will command the support and votes
of all good citizens, Democratic and
otherwise.
Congressman Castle followed in
speech that, while short. was hot and
eloquent. He covered the whole field
with master hand. exposing the rot
tenness of Republican professions in
words of power and plain meaning, and
! cllnching his arguments for De-
mOcracy'S position with ilustra-
lions that were true to life. Aft
er paying a handsome tribute to
the great canvass made by Gov. LAWYER
in behalf of change in methods and
management of state affairs, also to the
worth of Mr.. Doran. the congressman
said that for himself he had no promises
to make except that if elected he would
do for Minnesota and the Northwest
everything in the power of any one man
