Brooklyn is one OF the very few, if not the
only blind woman in this country. who owns
and personally manages a large mercantile
business. She Is dealer in pianos or

her stock, and is her own business man

MORRIS is ALL RIGHT.
He is Rattling Speaker, and
Showed 'Towne up
Properly.
McCleary Makes an Excellent
F.. Speech on Finance at St.
Cloud.

On Friday evening Congressman
D. II. McCleary, of MankatO. and
Judge page Morris, candidate fOl
congress in this district, addressed q
st. Cloud audience on the political
issues. 1t was unfortunate that the
largest hall available was the old
court room, and only IA small
audience could be accommodated
The hall was crowded long before
the time for speaking, and 1t was
unfortunate that SO many were
turned away without an OppOrsuni'
ty to hear the speeches.
Mr.. McCleary occupied most OF the
time, as it will probably be his last
opportunity to address a st. Cloud
audience this ear; and Mr.. Morris
will he there again-in fact was
billed for a speech ut a railroad
picnic the next day. Mr.. McCleary
confined his remarks entirely to the
financial question. and he made his
position very clear. He did not
rant and rave about conspiracies
ruin. and enslaved mankind, but
carefully discussed the logical effect
OF adopting free silver coinage at the
ratio advocated by the Democratic
and Populist parties. Hls remarks
were such ..as deeply interest any
person desiring to learn the truth
about the question. and 1t was just
such speech as the thinking voter
likes to hear.
Mr.. McClcary will 5000 visit Little
Falls, and the people of this vicinity
will then have an opportunity to
hear the silver question explained by
one OF the ablest speakers on tn!
question.
Judge Morris followed Mr.. Me-
Clearly with a brief speech. and he
demonstrated that he is fully able tC
take care Of his interests, and t.
arouse the enthusiasm and friend
ship of his hearers. He took par
ticulnr pleasure in discussing MIR
Towne's pretentiOns to superior
honesty, integrity and consistency
and quoted literally from Towne's
speeches two years ago. Ee is 1
