JOHN LIND.
The PopOcrat GubernatOrial
Candidate Greeted with a Fair
Audience.

John Lind arrived here Sunday
afternoon and was met at 1.-The train by
a few of the local true democracy
leaders. A symptom of enthusiasm
was manifested but reached no high
pitch, probably on account of it be-
ing Sunday. He was driven around
town after his arrival accompanied
by Messrs. Maxwell, Hobson and
Plotts. Monday a. m. the band
paraded around town to advertise
something, winding up at the wig
wam, followed by Lind and his sup
porters at some distance. At the
wigwam, the banners Next Govern
or of Minnesota, John Lind'' greeted
him, in addition to- an audience. of
/ 800, which. was composed Of mostly
ladies and republicans. The plat
form was occupied by number of
the faithful. T. j. Knox, of Jackson,
was the first speaker introduced.
He said: The American people
were confronted with great crisis
and as in 1856. they looked to- the
west for leader in the person of
Abraham Lincoln and they again
look to the west for a leader in w. J..
Bryan. It would be no more adjust
to make monopolists of the mine
owners than it would others; themine
owners products having been reduced
in price, but to open the mints would
raise the price of silver to $l.OO. He
claimed the Republicans cited no
history and had always proved false
prophets ana that our present dollar
was a dishonest one. He was follow
ed by MIR. Lind, who has had the mis-
fortune to lose one hand, he made
apologies for being compelled to
speak at the time allotted. He refer
red to the Chicago convention as
where the great historic party met
and more than two-thirds rose up
and bodily pitched out the old lead
ers because they were not in sympa-
thy with the American people. He
spoke of it requiring telescope bush
ell to measure wheat with dollar, but
he failed to mention what was re-
quired to measure so cent dollars and
in reference to the republican doctrine
starting the mills, was merely sup
position, and under the present sys-
tenn no matter how many mills were
started there would be no customers.
In reference to the republican plat
form, claimed this country needed no
international agreement and that part
of the platform was one of buncomb.
In reference to the state issues a slur
was hurled at our present governor
and brought up the swamp land case,
which, if there was any wrong done
John Lind knowingly kept quiet,thus
making him an abettor.
He neither sought, solicited or de-
sired the office of governor but now
he was in the race, wanted to succeed,
and then for fear some of his country
men might forget it he said he was
born on foreign soil in a manner that
was appealing. '.-
Mr.. Lind is good and very able
speaker and held his audience we'll.

Reflections on MI. Limbs Speech.

After listening to MIR. Lind's speech
the impression seemed to be an at
tempt to array the classes against the
monied men of the country.
This may not have been the delib-
crate intention of the speaker but the
effect was just the same. 1t appears
that this isa dangerous experiment for
the correction Of our present ills, and
suffering in business. 1t is not wise
policy but on the whole more danger
Gus and disastrous than the French
Communion. The fire once kindled
would sink the commerce into utter
insigniicance,and plunge the country
into war more disastrous than was
the war of the rebellion
This government does not exist for
the sole benefit of any one class or
classes. It is a government of the
people by the people and for the peo-
pie. Its primary policy is the eleva-
tion of the whole without distinction.
Under it's just laws and influence,
every man has been given chance to
reach the most honorable position, or
secure any and all of the great bless
ings written in it's gift. Opportunity
is afforded to all men of intelligence.
business tact, and energy has taken
advantage of the opportunity to grasp
the coveted blessing of coveted wealth
thereby rea ching one of the great
blessings and privileges under a free
government. This is the class of men
aimed at. Their property and success
is crime and they are denounced as
enemies of the producing and labor
ing classes. .s -, --
These men do not reflect that many
of these men started in life poor men
and by din< of hard work and economy
they have laid up sufticiency. Did
not the same opportunity come tc
them likewise? They either did not
perceive this or else lacked the es.
sertial elements of success. Is it just
! to seek the overthrow of accumulated
| wealth because others have failed?

| 4 What just grounds are there fol
complaint. If you have failed in
|life's struggle, it is due wholly to
yourself and not to the one who has
succeeded. The impression seems tc
be with such persons that all
their present woes are owing to the
men or men, whose good fortune has
been to do something and get some:
thing. The facts are plain to be seen
that such is not true. The success Of
one man or a class of men help all
and is a benefit in ;morerespects than
one.
If all were ignorant or all were
poor what kind of people would we
he? What would become .ofv~~our
country. Who would carry on pub,
lic enterprises and who would foster
education, and support good govern
ment. 1t would be just as wise for
the ignorant man to strike down the
educated man, simply because he
took advantage Of the opportunity af-
forded him to get an education while
he did not care to enter the schools
which were open and afforded him
the opp ortl,nity Of getting an educa

HEALTHIER TONE In STOCKS,

Prices of South African Securities
Low-Others Display Buoyancy-
Lord Salisbury's Speech IL
Awaited With Interest.

London, Nov. S.-The presidential cleo
tion has had little visible effect on the
money market, beyond the cessation of
gold shipments to the United States. Dis
count rates remain unchanged till it is seen
how events shape themselves. But it Is
impossible to overrate the Importance of
the election in restoring confidence and a
healthy tone on the Stock exchange, where
the only weak spot at present is the mining
department. There is no actual bad news
from South America, but a strong, unex-
planned feeling of apprehension keeps
prices low. All other markets display more
or less buoyancy. apd If Lord Salisbury's
Guild Hall speech this week reveals no
further clouds on the political horizon,
there is every probability there will be a
further advance established after the set
tlement, which commences on Monday.
Home railway securities have risen in
prospect of American trade orders. Turk
ish, Spanish and Brazilian securities are
better. Canadians advanced in sympathy
with Americans. while the American mar
ket displays a steady advance with an in
creasing disposition by investors to buy
the better class of securities standing at
prices low enough to return good interest.
further advance, ranging from one-half
to two, was established on Saturday.

Ex-Consul Williams Said to Have
Been in Spain.
New York. Nov. SIT was reported in
this city yesterday that the ex-consul gen.
eral to Havana, Ramon O. Williams,
might be expected here from Europe in
about ten days. Although the fact of Mr..
Williams presence in Spain escaped the
vigilance of the newspaper correspond
ents in the Spanish capital, it is neverthe-
less true that he has been in Madrid for
three weeks past, and in the immediate
circle of his family 1t was announced that
he was to leave for New York by one Of
the North German liners on Saturday last.
While the fact can not, for obvious rea-
sons. be definitely learned. it is generally
believed by his personal friends that Mr..
Williams visit to Madrid has been as an
agent of the United States with the view
of making some arrangement by which a
peaceable solution Of the Cuban question
might be brought about.
