pliment for all. He spoke of Reed as one
OF the most splendid single intellectual
forces in politics and of Mckinley as
famous the world over. The mention of
both names provoked prolonged applause.
He referred feelingly to Senator Allison of
his own state and then said:
'"There are millions of men all over the
country who recognize in Senator c.. K,
Davis of Minnesota" but the applause
became so terrific that he could 20 no
farther for fully minute, and then he
finished. "a fearless and powerful leader,
who by single stroke has. lifted American
politics above the level of the demagogue. y
He concluded by wishing the editors all
happy voyage over the lakes. The ap-
plause that followed was so tempestuous
that the speakers cheek tinged with
bushes, 1t was great compliment and
he felt it's worth.
Senator Davis Speaks.
There were loud calls all over the room
for Senator Davis, whose face glowed with
pride as he responded to the urgent call.
He said:
"All men who attain public station are
much more to others than to themselves,
and am free to state that the Editorial
association of this state has done much to
make me what am. During the past rs
years Of Repub lican administration there
was never before so much prosperity.
There was never any portent of disaster
until the shadow of Democracy began as
tendency in 1892. After the election of
Grover Cleveland such business panic as
never before visited this fair country SET
tied over the people of the United States
The result of the Democratic administra-
ton was the cause of corrupting our con-
gress and inducing intrigue and scheming
in the senate until at last the notorious
tariff bill we have got has become a law.
That bill, which was in the most direct
violation of the platform of the Chicago
convention wept and walled itself into a
painful birth. It owns no parent and the
constitutional midwife which attended it's
birth has turned his back on the pulling
infant. In the perpetuity of this govern
ment and to maintain laws all Republic
cans must stand united. The Republican
party must maintain the stars and stripes
above the schoolhouse beneath which the
voices of the school children may continue
to be heard in childish glee and laughter.
The Republican party is fated to remain
and endure for ever and for all time"

The Democratic party has all the way

asked while on the other hand the

open door to labor, and has extended
the right hand of fellowship to

here in St: Paul no later than yesterday a
Democratic state convention prepared an
insignificant, meaningless platform (which,

Addresses by Minnesota Men.
Senator Davis maintained his record
for eloquence in the brief speech he
delivered. If any one thinks that Cush
Davis's popularity with the editors of
Minnesota is on the wane, they should
have witnessed the royal reception
accorded him by the Association and
their hosts.
DR.. E. F. Barrett, of Tower, is the
witty editor of the Association, and
his speech demonstrated the fact, while
Mr.. Towne of Duluth, who is the
Republican candidate for congress in
the Sixth district, left a most favorable
impression with his audience
The event will be long remembered
by those who participated.
Ex-Governor w. r. Merriam welcomed
the editors to fellowship with St. Paul
citizens, and said there never was a time
when patriotic press was more needed
than now. The Republican party never
had better opportunity than it has to-
day, said Mr.. Merriam. All we have to
do is to stand by our principles and look
to the people. It is the only party that
ever properly governed this country and
with the right work and the right spirit
the country will again be under our con-
troll.
President Whitney Responds.
c. c. Whitney, president of the Repub-
lican Press Association, responded to the
welcome and delivered strong Repub-
lican address, and said that the purity and
patriotism of politics have been so far
contaminated with evil that all charm for
participation therein has been lost to the
busy minds with honest purposes.
AS result the rockbound Republican
party was carried from it's moorings, and
to the national administration came the
party that was pledged to sweep away the
foundation stone of our country's pros
perity. Then the business world was
staggered, capital sought safety in seclu-
sion, the great Industries were paralyzed,
the laborer without his hire came to want
and the laborer with his hire reduced
came to discomfort; then followed strikes,
boycotts, rioting, wanton destruction Of
property and terrible loss Of, human life;
And during these long months of misad-
ministration has the business world wait

The Tariff Discussed.

He then entered upon rapid discussion
of the tariff bill, which he said had been
talked about so much that it reminded
him of the young lady at Narragansett

of the party was that they do not under

THE FRANKLIN SHUTS DOWN,
Feeling Over the Killing Of Matt

DULUTH, May 7.-The decision of
Mr. Corrigan to stop work at the Frank
lin mine ended the strike at Virginia.
With the Franklin out of existence, and
the only real grievance existed there,
the strike came to an end for want of
material to feed on. The men returned
to their places in the other mines at the
old rate, and were glad to get back. The

village authorities a new and very seri-
ous question. Mr.. Corrigan's decision

and no prospect of employment. Many

to give them a temporary lift, and
while this lasts they will be given work
on the streets at 81 per day. The feel
ing growing out of the death of Matt
son, shot by Marshal Feel, is still Bit
ter, but the presence of two companies
of militia and the determined stand
taken have made the men more con-
servative.

Several Illinois and Iowa Towns Greatly
Damaged.
CHICAGO, May 7.-Reports received
show that Saturdays storm was more
widespread than at first reported. At
Fairbury, Ills., great trees, fences and
weak structures were leveled to the
ground. Signs in the business part of
town were torn loose and hurled
through the glass fronts. Great dam
age was done in the vicinity of Aurora,
Ills. Maine Station, near ALTA, Ia,
was visited by cyclone and heavy
hail which caused much damage. One
woman was so badly injured that she
has since died. Over a dozen houses
were blown down and much damage
done fruit and small grain. In the
vicinity of Cerro Gordo, Ills, the wind
assumed the proportions of small cy-
clone, tearing roofs from some houses
and extensively damaging some others.
From Ladora, la:, is reported water
spout and hail storm, doing a great
amount of damage, entirely destroying
early garden stuff and doing great dam
age to crops 81 corn and wheat. At

1t appears that while General Master

moral assistance to Grand Chief Debs in
the Great Northern strike, his real pur-
pose was to organize the millers within

Ex-President Harrison.
New YORK, May 7.-Tho1nas G.
Platt's visit to ex-President Harrison
Saturday evening gave politicians some
thing to talk about, but General Har-

frankly stating that the interview did
not relate to politics.
General Harrison and Benjamin F.

hotel, and later the ex-president at

Prospects Were Never Better in the
Black River Falls District.
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis.,, May T.
More interest is manifested among our
merchants, and in fact by nearly every
one, over the prospects for the blue
terry crop than over any other crop in
the county. Il is crop that is worth
more than any other two or three crops
com bined. Last. year the shipments
from the county were abont 80, 900
bushels, and the average price at least
$1.15 per bushel, net to the gatherer.
This represents all clear profit for time
and labor of gathering. The prospects for
an immense crop were never better, and
the vines are loaded down with the
blossoms. The Indians are already fix
ing their camps near the best marshes,
which they consider kind of pre-emp-
tion right, which right is generally re-
spected, Doth by the whites and also by
other Indian pickers.

Judge Scott, brother -in-law of General
Harrison, with whom he recently spent
several weeks in California, says:
1.-The ex-president expressed himself
as not being candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket in 1896. Mr.. Harrison said
the Republican nomination was equiva-
lent to an election, but on account
OF family affections he was not
anxious to enter the contest for another
term, though believe that if the NOM
ination was rendered him he would &C.
cept and make the campaign, but he is
too shrewd and reserved and calculating
to allow his friends to announce his
candidacy two years in advance of the
assembling of the nominating conven-
ton if he wanted the nomination..

OF kelly's stay in Des Moines saw prep

low the confluence of the Des Moines
and Racoon rivers.
At 10 o'clock detail of 800 men,
mostly mechanics of more or less expe-
rlence, picked out of the army, left the
camp under the leadership of General
Kelly, marched three abreast to the
place where the lumber had been deliv-
cred and Logan the work of building
fiat boats. They set to work with great
eagerness and before night about so
were nearly completed. Kelly ex-
planned that it was the first chance his
men have had to work, and he was
very proud of the impression they made
In this role. At S p. m. the first boat
was completed, pitched and launched.
Three cheers were given for the
First Evidence of the Kelly Navy.
At 8 o'clock the men dropped their
tools and marched back to camp.
Another day will see most of the Boats
finished, but it is very doubtful whether
the army will set sail before Wednes-
day morning. Meanwhile, committee
is going ahead, calling on the farmers
and the people of towns near the river
to meet them as they float down and
supply them with food. The prospects
are that the river will be lined with
people and carriages all the way down,
as the country is thickly settled and by
prosperous people. Kelly expects: to
reach Ottumwa, about 80 miles down,
on the evening of the second day.
There are many here who look upon
the river journey as piece of nonsense
and regard failure as the only possible
outcome. Many Des Moines carpenters
assisted in the work of building boats.
The laboring men here have only one
desire and that is to get rid of the men.
