evening, when he will address three
audiences in Minneapolis. Tomorrow
morning he will take the train for Du-
luth.

Ryan hotel for dinner. Old soldiers
were included in the escort that greet
ed them, and a large crowd gathered
both at the station and at the hotel to
get a view of the candidate. The main
meeting Of the evening was that in the
big Auditorium, the seating capacity OF
Wn1cn Is o,OUU, out WnlCn contained not
less than 1000 others who had crowded
into all available standing room. Be-
fore the speech by Bryan Louis
Nash, for the local labor organizations,
presented him with a silver pen and an
address on silk expressing the hope
that this pen might be used in signing

and at the close the crowd followed the
nominee rather than stay and hear a
speech by Ignatius Donnelly, who fol-
lowed. The speeches at the Martin and
Market halls were along the same lines
as the Auditorium speech, but much
briefer.

terest of their patrons as well as them
selves. The Standard Type Foun-
dry of chicago, is firm that we do
not want anything to do with. Our
type that came from there was not
on the point body, as we ordered,
and was very deficient in some letters,
and, of course, we had to have sorts,
and we ordered them sent by mail,
as the nearest Expaess Office is 1870
miles distant. THE package of sorts
and packing weighs sA pounds and
to come by mail would cost us 88
cents, but they sent it by express
and the charges are $I.oo and are
still I3o miles distant! now we have
got to either pay SO cents more and
have them come by mail at last, or
we have got to wait for a chance to
send for them. Such an injustice
is anything but agreeable!
