HE RECOUNTS THE PAST AND WANTS
TO KNOW WHAT WAS GAINED BY
THE PEOPLE THROUGH THE GREAT
REPUBLICAN VICTORY OF 1894.
To The Representative:
Eight or nine months have past since
the blowing of horns and shouting of the
political parties in Minnesota The cleo
tors had met, cast their votes and the re-
suits were declared great Republican
victory. The state legislature has met
and adjourned. What have the people
gained? Are taxes less? No they are
increased. Are the rates of interest less?
No 10 per cent for one years interest,
taken in advance, as of old, is the law.
Are salaries any less? No, but new off
ces were created by our last legislature.
Are railroad freights less? No, they
have bene increased. Now I ask the
merchant, farmer, mechanic and 'laborer
and tax payer when they look at the in
creasing numbers at the soup houses, if
they are pleased at the result of their
votes last fall in Minnesota?
For at least thirty-four years Minnesota
in all it's departments has been under the
control of the so-called Republican party
Behold the results. Millionaires, and
soup houses are over-taXed, over-burden-
ed people; notes of interest ten per cent
and one years interest takn in advance;
the United States census showing that in
the year 1890 one hundred and ninety
seven Millions of real estate, mortgages in
Minnesota. With more than eight
tenths of the people, regardless of party
in favor of reduction of interest, I ask
why the rates of interest have not been
reduced by our last Republican legsla-
ture, for there has not been session of
the legislature for the past twenty years,
but there has been a bill before it to re-
duce the rates OF interest. Why have
they not passed them? Through blind,
religious superstition the mother
on the banks of the river Gauges casts her
| infant from her breast into the mouth of
crocodile to appeaSe the anger of her sup
posed God, which the Shiny monster swal-
| lows at one gulp, then settles down to the
| bottom of the stream to faten on the babe
| that the blind bigotry of the mother has
| fed to him, and await for the next fool
mother to give him another babe for his
| dinner. I leave it to the historian who
| distinguished between the mother on the
| banks of the Gauges and the voters of
Minnesota for the past twenty-five years,
who have thrown the immense produc-
| tions of Minnesota into the jaws of the
| monster corporations, by voting the So
called Republican and Democratic tick
| cts.

fought In 1885,"
These are the sentiments, the following
out Of which will insure success.
Amy time during the last thirty years
the opposition to the Republican party
could have achieved victory if the leaders
of the discordant elements had had
sense enough to have waived differences
Of detail, and made mutual concessions for
the general good. Fundamental princi-
pies should be maintained. But why this
dickering over non-e essentials when the
very existence of the Republic is threat
ened.
In my judgement, however important
the question of the free coinage of silver,
may be, you are making too much of the
subject. Free banking is far more i'm
portant. Give us this and the silver
question will regulate itself. There are
other important matters A progressive
lowering of the tariff, leading to freer
trade, wiping out of all war measures,
such as national banks or banks of issue.
UNFOLDING the reserved rights of the
states, vigorously opposing the encroach-
ments of the federal judiciary and of all
legislation for the benefit of private inter-
ests. No more special privileges to any
individual or corporation, and the largest
liberty of the individual consistent with
the equal freedom of every other man.
Upon these principles it seems to me all
who oppose the Republican policy Of
transforming single republic of states to
a strong centralized government can
unite. They mean liberty and equality
to all-the common man as we'll as the
plutOcrat. Advocate these doctrines and
the young, progressive and aggressive ele-
ment in the Democratic party are with
you. In consolidation of forces hes vic

MOTORCYCLES RACE.
Duryea's Gasoline Machine the

DufyeiNS GuSOi1ne Machine the
Only One to Cover the Course.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The Charles E.
Duryea gasoline motorcycle finished
first in the Times-Herald contest to-
day, for prizes amounting to $4,000.
The contest was in every way the most
novel and the performance Of the win
ming vehicle the most remarkable in
the history of the motor vehicle con-
tests. Monday night Chicago was Wis
tied by a blizzard of snow and slush
that buried the roads and prostrated
half of the telephone and fire alarm
wires in the city. Wednesday the
weather moderated, and when the race
started the streets were twelve inches
deep in snow. slush and mud. In the
face of these odds six motorcycles made
the start, as follows: The Duryea, of
Springfield, Mass; the Morris & Salem
Mueller Co., of Decatur, ILL.,; the De
La Vergnee, Of New York, and the
Sturges electric motorcycles, of Chi
cago
Thousands witnessed the flight of
these vehicles against fifty-four miles
of slush which constituted the course
from jackson park to Evanston and re-
turn 1t was considered impossible that
any of the motorcycles would com.,ate
the course and the prediction was free-
iy made that no one Of the contestants
would make five miles. Five of them
passed through Lincoln park, the De
La Voignee quitting at Sixty-Fourth
street Duryea started at S:55 and
passed the Auditorium, a distance of
eight miles, an hour later He made
the finish at 7:1S, completing the course
in ten hours and twenty-three min
:utes. For miles on the West side the
sbouleyards were almost unbroken fields
of snow banks and slush. The Morris
& Salon Electrobat made no attempt,
to complete the course, but made
creditable run of, fifteen miles and re-
turned to the testing headquarters in
motorcycle was abandoned after a run
of twelve miles. Both of these electric
motors made a surprising showing up
der the circumstances.
The fight for speed honOrS was be-
tween Duryea, Mueller and Macy Dur
yea is an American inventor and his
motor is a radical departure from the
foreign type used on the wagons of his
two competitors. The carriage with
which he made the race was manufac-
he has made many improvements on
his motor but was unable to complete
the work on the two new vehicles which
he had entered for the contest. He ac-
cordlngly maze the run with the old
motorcycle. The prizes will be awarded
on the showings made in the road race
and in the scientific tests, which have
been made under the supervision of the
best experts in the country. For ten
days these tests have been in progress
and have been followed with great in
terest by hundreds of manufacturers
from all parts of the United States.
These tests will prove of great value.
The Paris-BordeauX race was valueless
from a scientific standpoint.
The H. M. Mueller machine finished
at 8:55 o'clock, making twenty-five
miles,.

public reception will begin and will
continue as long as possible. 1t
will be necessary that all callers ar
rive as soon after 4 o'clock as pos

The lecture at Peoples church will
begin at 8 o'clock.
1t is probable that the speaker
will face in st. Paul the largest au-
dience that he has spoken to on his

the theme upon which he speaks,
being based upon his own experience,
is especially attractive to those who
have studied the man and his career.
He calls the lecture "Old Land

ANARCHIST NEWSPAPERS.
Onslaught by Parkhurst in His
THANKSGIVING Sermon.


NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-In his
Thanksgiving sermon today in the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian
church, Rev. DR.. Parkhurst took for
his subject the prevailing lawless?
ness and it's cause. For the first
time in fifteen years his congrega-
ton broke into cheers during his SER
mon. 1t was when he asserted that
he was proud of his Puritan ances-
try and wished there was a ridge of
Plymouth rocks from the Battery
to Westchester. The sermon con-
tanned some sensational features. one
Of which was an allusion to the
Rome boy train wreckers, who. he
said, should be tried and convicted
within a week and hanged within a
month for the good of society. After
discussing the excise laws and re-
cent political movements, DR.. Park
hurst attacked the papers. He said:
"And 1t is one of the most startling
and appalling features of the situation
that there have been newspapers that
with braZen audacity, have aided and
abetted these anarchists and conspira-
tors, an that for seven days in the
week, besides extras, have Haunted
their criminal sympathy with crime,
and have resorted to every conceiva-
BILE villainous journalistic device to
make ridiculous the officials that I'M
dertook to do what they swore they
would do, and to make reputable GRIM
inals that trampled on the law and that
ought to have been treated to cell
end not to eulogy. Some of these pa.
pers, that for months made a steady
practice of instigating crime, if they
had been published in Berlin would
have been confiscated with all the pub
LEGATION machinery, and their managers
retired to enforced privacy and a diet
of bread and water.
I'VE are not objecting to the liberty
of the press, but we do'6ecidedly object
to the license of the press; we objct to
the issue of fincendiary sheets that make
it their study to inflame tens of thous-
ands of combustible men against the
execution of the lawfully expressed
will of this commonwealth 1t is trea-
son.--C Clear to the innernlost vitals of
the performance, it is treason, and
involves, like any other act of treason,
a grim menace to the stability and
permanence of our institutions.
