for invited guests, but the body of the
house will be free to all.
AS this is to be the final rally of the
campaign, and as the meeting will be
accompanied by the comforts of a
welllighted and well-heated auditori-
UNI, no doubt the capacity of the thea
ter will be taxed. Sunday morning Gov.
Flower will hasten eastward, to reach
home in time to vote on Tuesday.
| The following appeal has been is
sued, by the gentlemen whose names
are appended, "to the National Democ-
racy of Minnesota"
1t does not admit of doubt but that next
Tuesday-if they live-either Mr.. Mckinley
or Mr.. Bryan will be elected president of
the United States. and Mr.. Clough or Mr..
Lind governor of this state.
If our power to choose was not limited We
would not vote for any Of them, but the
question now for patriotic practical men is,
what is duty under existing circumstances?
| We admire the high character and ability
OF Gen. Palmer and Gen. Buckner, and we
subscribe heartily to the platform Of principles
adopted by the convention that nominated
them. If there was a hope Of their election
we would. vote for them. They cannot be
elected They and you and We believe that
the election Of Mr.. Bryan would surely be
followed by disaster and dishonor to the
country. No one can believe that such conse-
QuenceS W0ulQ follow the election or Mr. Nc
Kinley. While intelligent Democrats are OPP
posed to such a protective tariff as Mr.. Nc
Kinley advocates, yet that is economic
question about which honest, patriotic men
may differ, and the decision Of which cannot
| touch the honor Of the country or paralyze
| its industries.
You and we believe that the election Of q
| Populist governor would surely be prejudciaI
| to our state. No state has Endorsed such
| vagaries without discrediting itself before
the whole country. The election of such
| governor would be sure to keep out capital
and honest business men. The experience of
Kansas should serve as an object lesson to
| deter us from such folly and political crime
In view of the consequences that are sure
| to follow this election, we take the liberty
| to earnestly urge you to think whether those
| VINO believe as you and we do won't best
serve our country by voting for the Repub-
| lfcan candidates. 1t seems so to u.s. Even
| from party standpoint we think this is
| the best policy. But the gravity of the issues
| involved should make us forget any consid-
Grafton but the interest and honor Of the
! country.
Should we find on next Wednesday that Mr..
| Bryan has carried Minnesota by a majority
| less than the number of votes that we have
| cast for candidate whose election is i'm
possible the responsibility would be greater
than we would wish to bear and we fear
that we would regret our error when too
late. This is not a time to take chances.

| The Mckinley and Hobart electors
are going to receive large number of
votes which have not, as a general
! thing, been considered in making I'D
estimates as to their majority in this
state An examination of the presi-
Dental ballot will show that there
are only two electors on the Prohibi-
t1on ticket. This leaves seven vacant
| places, and the question arises as to
what the Prohibitionists are going to
| do with those seven places.
| 1t is known that the great majority
! OF the "cold water men of the state
are for sound money. Consequently.
| when they have placed a cross after
| two candidates Of their party, they
have not only expressed their princi-
pies. but still have the opportunity Of
| voting for men in accordance with
their own financial views.
