Democrats are said to number 10000. But
the silver Democrats and Popullsts com.

DOster and Senator Leedy In this
county the 9th inst. Judge Doster
spoke to o good crowd at this place In
the afternoon. His address Of two and
a half hours was listened to with the
closest attention. AT the same hour
Senator Leedy was speaking to a good
audience at Klrwin, this county. In
the evening the Senator spoke to all
that could get into the court house In
this city. The two gentlemen made
good impressions, and we feel that
good was done. The silver forces are
confident Of success In this county and
Congressional district. Our candidates
are making an active csmpsign and
are being welcomed by large audiences.
Mankato Ad0OcGte, October 8: 1.-THE
grand Populist rally in this city yester-
day was q success. The morning was
a cold and cloudy one and threatened
Of storm, but the people Of Jewell
county are not afraid Of little weather
when they are interested In q good
cause. The crowd was so large by
noon that It was decided to hold two
meetings, one In the court house and
the other In the opera house. Both
halls were crowded and many were
turned away for want Of room. Gov.
ernOr Leedy made the opening speech
at the opera house and Judge DOster
opened at the court house. After they
had talked an hour each they exchanged
pulplts, and thus each audience was
enabled to hear both speeches. These
gentlemen are orators of great reputs-
tiOn and their arguments In behalf Of
the rights Of the people are absolutely
unsnswersble. They are the kind Of
men that we need in positions of trust,
and IL the people of jewell county want
q Governor and Chief Justice elected
who will give us an upright, honorable
and clean administration Of affairs,
they should by all means cast their bal
lots for Judge Doster and Governor
Leedy."

The meeting had been announced
about a week ago, and early In this

from Topeka to hustle up q crowd.
Hand. bills and dodgers without num-
Der were freely scattered, but they
seemed to have no influence on the
people. There were, all told, In the
house at one time, including men,
women and children, fOrty-nine per-
sons. OF this number two were Demo
Gratis, one Populist, six were boys who
could not vote, seven women and the
remainder Republicans. The most of
the Republicans remained through the
meeting, but others would drop In for
q minute and then pass on. The prin-
cipsl speech of the evening was made
by Paul Vsndervoort Of Nebraska who
showed from his remarks that bis sole
purpose was to iniure Mr.. Bryan all he
could. Remarks were also made by
W. II. Bennington and W. F. Right
