greeted him, and had the room been
as large again it would have been
packed, because many people were
obliged to return home for want of
standing room. It was the Mayors
eloquence as we'll as his subject which
brought them there-the magnetism
of the man, the truth and good old
logic of his arguments. His theme
was Republicanism, and throughout
the entire evening his audience was
rolling in laughter or bathing in tears
for William Henry is man of the
people and can descend from pathos
to humor and humor to pathos with a
man naturally acquainted with the
woes of the people, and who himself
has suffered with them.
On the platform, aside from the dis
tinguished speaker, sat Hon. O. B.
Turrell, S. j. Race, j. E. Stowell, a
life long friend of Mayor Eustis, May
or Bell, j. N. Jones and w. S. Clay
son. The band, whose music is ever
fine, rendered the customary outdoor
and indoor selections, while the Glee
club, composed of Messrs. Chas. Bux-
ton, Dewitt Martin, Geo. French and
G. R. Tanner, with Mrs. G.. r. Pease
at the piano, sang two or three cam
paign songs during the evening, and
the applause was immense.
1t was Eustis Republican meet
ing, and William Henry had the
audience.
1t was just S:2O o'clock when Presi-
dent Race,of the local league, stepped
to the platform, and stated that owing
to Mayor Eustis suffering from Sc
we're cold, Hon. J. n. Jones had con-
sented to take a portion of the even
ing. Mr.. Jones was introduced amid
applause. He stated that he had been
speaking for three weeks, and from
indications he thought it would be a
long time before the Democrats would
see the reins of government again
Mr.. Jones briefly reviewed the history
of the two parties during the past
thirty years, and said that the Repub-
lican predictions of two years had al
ready become true. Workingmen were
begging for work and they are anxious
to place the government back in the
hands of the party from which it was
wrested two years ago. In this coun-
ty Democracy has been wiped out, he
said, and Populism alone is to be con-
tended with. Here Mr.. Jones reviewed
the two per cent. money and sub
treasury propositions of the Populist
party, and said that it would be an un-
safe step for the government to adopt
the doctrine. In closing he said that
there was not another organization in
the country which had advanced the
country SO much as the Republican
party.
The Glee club rendered another
campaign song, parody on the De-
mocracy, after the ''Old Oaken Buck
et," and the audience applauded the
rendition to the echo.
"It gives me pleasure to introduce
our distinguished speaker" !" said Presi-
dent Race, "Hon. William II. Eustis
Mayor of Minneapolis"
