The Grandest and Most Fnthusi-
as:ic Meeting of the Country
Campaign.
On "Wednesday evening was held at
New Brighton the banner country
meeting OF the campaign. Under the
judicious guidance of DR.. Alloway and
Peter Van Hoven the people for miles
around came fiOcklng in, and it can
safely be said that no one who did
come was disappointed. There were
speeches in four different languages,
and nearly every candidate on
the county ticket was present. The
streets of New Brighton were lined
with farmers teams, and 1t was long
after II O'clock ere the last one had
taken its departure. 1t was really a
political feast. and. if the crowds and
enthusiasm can he taken for an indica-
ton, the village of New Brighton will
return an almost unanimous Democratic
majority on the sixth day OF November
next.
Speakers and candidates yied with
each other in cIoquence, and none re-
fused to take the door when asked,
but seemed to think it great privilege
in being allowed to address the crowd.
John S. erode spoke in German. Frank
Molenski spoke in Polish. and. with a
most impassioned address, held the au-
dience spelIbound for more than an
hour. Capt. O'Connor spoke on the
county ticket, and DR.. Whitcomb
told stories that convulsed the
audience with laughter. Pierce
Butler spoke OIL general topics. and
Anton Meisen made the longest and
best speech of the campaign. Auditor
kain spoke on the condition of the
county finances, and William Koch said
one thing he was glad of was that there
was no platform in this hall. but that
all, speakers. candidates and the audi
ence were on all equ,l footing. and it
was more like great family gathering.
where all could speak from their souls
and look in the faces and eyes of those
whom they were addressing.
E. j. Darragh made fifteen-minu te
speech. which will insure him the ell
tire vote of New Brighton, ard he fairly
rIddied his opponent, Col. Kiefer, with
the hot she'll from his battery of elo-
quence. and many made the expression
that Ed Darragh was the coming orator
of the state of Minnesota.
After all had been introduced. he
orator Of the evening, Daniel W. Law
ler. was called for, and he made one of
the most enthusiastic and grandest
speeches he has ever made, and every
one knows that he has made many. He
spoke on the entire ticket. and in terms
of the highest praise eloauently ap.
pealed to every one present to vote for
Edward j. Darragh to represent this
district in the next congress of the
United States. Never did Dan Lawler
plead more earnestly for client than
for the election of Ed Darragh.
Every one who was fortunate enough
to hear Mr.. Lawler at New Brighton
"Wednesday evening was unanimous in
the expression that he had made the
best political speech he ever did in mis-
life. 1t was after II O'Clock when Dan
got thoroughly warmed up. and for over
half an hour he swayed the audience
IRON pathos to laughter, and not SIM
gle sOdl left the hall till he had finished,
and then they were 10th to 60. Never
before did New Brighton ring with the
eioquence that fell from the lips of
Mlnnesota's most gifted orator.
