ST.. CLOUD, Sept. 1.-THE Demo.
Gratis opened the campaign of 1894 to-
night with one Of the grandsst ratiGca.
tons ever witnessed in this city. The
meeting was attended by the brightest
galaxy OF party leaders that ever
gathered in the banner Democratic
county. 1t Is seldom that any city is
favored with the presence of so many
prominent men and all such sterling
Democrats as is the case to-day. For
the third time the Democratic party Of
Minnesota has chosen this city for the
opening OF the campaign. but none ever
opened more auspicIously or under
more favorable circumstances. both in
. attendance and enthusiasm, than that
tonight. The
Opera House Was Crowded.,
and many were turned away. The dis
tinction given the stronghold of De-
mocracy is duly appreciated, and to
judge from tonight's display of loyalty
to the party and the genuine enthusi-
asin. there is positively no doubt of
what may be expected from this section
in the coming campaign. Before the
opening of the meeting the Union band
serenaded the guests at the Central
hotel for nearly an hour. and then The
party Of speakers and DISTINGUISHED
guests were escorted to the opera
house, headed by the band and a torch
light procession. Arrived at the opera
house, reception committee of young
and enthusiastic members of the JEFF
fers0n club received the party and con-
Quoted them to the stage. 1t was few
minutes after eight o'clock when Gen.
George l.. Becker, candidate for gov
ernor. appeared on the platform. upon
which were Congressman D. NJ. Hall. j.
Adam Bede. L. Il. Hudson. Capt. Har-

son, closely followed by Congressman
Baldwin. who we've both loudly and
enthusiastically applauded. After a
short and highly appropriate address j.
ID. Sullivan. as chairman of the meet
ing, introduced as the first and principal
speaker Of the evening, Hon. George l..
Becker, the next governor Of the great
state OF Minnesota. He spoke for
nearly half an hour, and in substance
delivered the following able and eio-
quent opening address OF the present
campaign.
COngratulates the Sixth.
The convention which met here today
has done its work aud done it we'll. l
congratulate Maj. Baldwin. and also
congratulate the Democratic party of
this district and of the entire state upon
the fact that he has received the nomi-
nation at once unanimous and generous.
There is no position in the United States
which IS at the SAME time more labor
| iouS than that of the office of repre-
sentative i'll congress from this great
district. myself have had some eX.
| perience. as representative in con-
gress from Minnesota. and know
| what are the wants and what are
the necessities. Two years ago you
| elected Mai Baldwin to congress, COM
| paratively an untried man. l never had
| the pleasure of his acquaintance until
| today. but have watched with increas-
| ing interest and increasing admiration
| his course as your representative in
| congress. When it was known that he
was elected, before he received his
| credentials, before his term of office
commenced, before President Cleve-
| land called congress into extra session,
and from that date to this he has been
on test and duty daily, faithfully. Loud
and prolonged cheers.l No repre-
| sentative in congress has been more
faithful in his attendance upon
| the house, no representative has had
| half the work to do that he has had.
| You are honoring yourselves in honor
| ing him; you are looking out for your
| own good. This is not all that may be
| said OF Mai. Baldwin. l commend him
| for the further fact that during all this
time he has been
A Faithful Supporter
of Grover Cleveland. [Cheers.l He has
never failed in any emergency, and in
| indorsing him and in electlng him this
fall you are indorsing the administra-
ton of the best president this country
has seen for many a year. Loud
| cheers.
1t is found matter of complaint,
particularly among our Republican
friends, that the Democratic congress
has accomplished so little. l think,
when we consider all the circumstances,
that we may see that the Democratic
congress has done great deal. 1t has
broken down protective tariff in this
! Countrywide Mckinley tariff. We have
| done what we could TO settle with these
| men who have been faithless to us, aud
| we will do the rest. l don't know but
what you feel somewhat as do with
reference to the tariff question. l
am little tired of it.
Laughter. am one of those
who don't believe that we are to recover
from the existing depression either by
| the help of politics or legislation. L
| venture to say that no man here or else
where in the state has suffered the eX-
| listing depression more keenly than do
now. But if | recover from it, if the
| people of this country recover from it,
| we are to do II by our own honest,
Ifntiring Industry,
| and l think If survive the wreck it will
| not be by the help OF congress or by the
| help of state legislature, but as re-
| suit of my own individual self. and
| propose to fight it out on that line.
| ICheers. Grover Cleveland when he was
nominated for president said that under
no circumstances would he favor a
Il tariff bill which took money out of your
II pockets and my pocket to give 1t to
/ other people, and not to support the
7 government. 1t was under the existence
of the Mckinley tariff that all these
trusts, syndicates and monopolies have
been created, and it is the influence of
/ these syndicateS, trusts and monopolies
that has defeated the Wilson bill. Why,
l have to think of the little story that
was told of the man in TeXas-you may
| have heard it-who wrote that he had
| thousand sheep. and says he, when
that tariff bill goes up l want
you to vote for protective tariff
on wool, and If you don't
/ YOU need never come back to Texas. for
| il You do, you will never hear the sound
of Gabrel's trumpet. Cheers aud
laughter The way the tariff is ar
ranged. the whole theory is to put as
much of this thing on the other fellow
and as little as you can on ourselves.
