the county committee, and commenced
his address, abbreviated on account of
the weather, by saying that the i'm
mense gathering of people from Red
wood, Renville and Brown counties
showed that the people were still
true to the Republican party. He
then bespoke for Knute Nelson, the
candidate for governor, the support of
all true Republicans; the consistent
suffrages of all for McCleary. He re-
marked that he had been formally
placed in nomination by the Repub-
lican conventions for Z. S. Senator to
succeed himself, thing unprecedent-
in the history of this country. He eul
ogized Mr.. Turrell, said that he knew
that gentleman when he resided in
St. Paul, and then gently informed
the audience that vote for Mr. Tur-
rell was a vote for him for e. S.
Senator
He would pay no attention to third
parties, because anyright minded man
would concede that either Harrison or
| Cleveland would be elected, and that
! Weaver did not stand ghost of a
show. He contended that the third
party was fshed in by some fellow

main streams.
Senator Davis believed in fair bal
lot and an honest count, and unless
this was secured no people could re

whether the vote was cast by white or
black. He declared that to-day,
100000 black citizens by murder,
force and fraud were disfranchised.
The Democratic party was respon-
sible for this, he said. No one
hasever heard Democratic ora
tor pleading for an honest ballot. He
regarded the Peoples Party claims of
the South as a delusion and snare to
catch northern votes indirectly for the
Democratic party. Florida and
Georgia, he said, two states claimed
by the Populists, where Republican
voters were disfranchised, had gone
4 De,nesratic by tremendous maiorities
last week. Weaver, the Populistic
candidate, had been denied the right
Of speech in Georgia and Alabama,
and himself and wife insulted on the
stress of city, and driven out of
the State.
''ls there any community in the
North where Gen. Weaver, or any 9th
er man, be he from the North or South,
could not have the right to address an
audience, and his words carefully con-
sidered," said the Senator. "Isn't it
about time for all free born men OF
r the North to stand upon platform OF
