and to show his own he offered to bet

that Minnesota would give a larger
plurality for Mckinley, in proportion
to her voting population. than either
Wisconsin or Iowa. As this PROPOSE
ton was not convincing. he made an
other, which was that Minnesota
would cast a larger vote for Mckinley
than any state of her population. And,
still further. he offered to bet any

more votes for Mckinley than any

held in any cause at the head of the
lakes took place tonight in honor Of
sound money and Mckinley and Nor
ris, it's representatives. Every branch
of lake and rail interests and all the
industries which supply a source of
income to Duluth were represented
fully, and never in the history of Du-
luth has the city so resounded with en-
thusiasm vented in all possible man
her. The best on the programme was
a marine parade in which all small
craft in the harbor took part, line tugs
up to good-sized vessels. Each vessel
was a mass of lights, and fireworks
shot up from all sections of the parade,
in which about forty vessels took part.
AS the parade made its evolutions about
the harbor an old scow was burned
and fireworks were sent up. About the
time the marine parade was ended the
street parade started, and this was the
largest ever seen in Duluth. Fully 5000
men were in line, from the lowest grade
of employees of various interests up to
the proprietors. Primarily the dem

with most of their employees, also the

the entire length of Superior street was
illuminated and decorated, with flags

and skill are necessary for that state
alone to produce all Of the 500, 0OO, 900
