accordingly. 1t is safe to say that
nearly every one has made up his
mind how to vote. But for all that
the parties are going to quit work for
] another four years with a final effort
| in nearly all the districts If the city
| tonight
| The greatest of these final Efforts
will be the demonstration Of sound
money Democrats at the Metropolitan
opera house. If there is one thing the
sound money Democrats are to be
commended for it is the consistency
with which they have labored for an
apparently hopeless cause in this state.
The remnant of the party that was
wrecked on the Chicago platform has
| been earnestly and conscientiouSly
to work ever since that time, building
up on the ruins of the party a new
and greater structure. The faithful
few, resting on the principles Of the
/ founders of their faith, gave of their
time and means to preserve the party
organization for the protection of the
people in the future. Almost without
cessation they have labored to keep in
! the minds Of the public that Democ-
racy is not dead. Orators of national
repute traversed the state advocating
the doctrines of the party. The result
of the election will be as much vic
tory for the Democrats as for the Re-
| publicans. The defeat of Organism,
the humiliation Of the doctrines that
| the party Of Bryan breaches, has been
| the end and aim of the workers in the
ranks Of Minnesota sound money
Democracy. Thousands of votes will
| be cast in this state for the leaders
of that party, as the direct result of
the missionary efforts of the Cut
cheons, the LAWYERS, the Hows and
other leaders of the movement.
Tonight the final of the series of
| grand demonstrations for the cause
of sound money will be held at the
Metropolitan opera house. Ex-Gov.
| Flower, of New York, will be the prin-
| cipal orator. It is likely that d. w.
Lawler and f. w. M. Cutcheon will
also speak, but the event of the even
ing will be the New Workers. address
The meeting will be Democratic too.
Gov. Flower will find the way to the
opera house from his hotel without the
assistance of an escort or the accom-
paniment of brass band. The house
will be opened to every one, and gen
eral invitation is extended to every
body, their wives and all their friends
There is no long list of distinguished
guests. Neither have citizens been
called upon to pose as vice presidents
Of the occasion. A few cards of invi-
tation have been sent to prominent
| persons, both in the city and out, re-
questing their presence. Seats for
| these will be placed on the platform
and in the few boxes. There will be
a few parties with ladies, and these
will be accommodated in the boxes.
Seibert's band will add musical flavor
to the evenings enjoyment, and Gov.
Flower, who Is a convincing talker,
rather than an orator, will tell the
faith that in him lies in a truly demo-
cratic and unconventional manner.
1t must not be inferred that Gov.
Flower is not good campaign speak
er, though no orator, as he himself
modestIy says. He stumped the state
Of New York when a candidate for
/ governor and reused the woodsmen to
a pitch never known before. 1t was
no tidal wave Of party success that
swept him into office. He made the
most vigorous campaign that any can
didate ever made in the state. That
he has the qualities that stir men to

week. Since Monday he has delivered
nine speeches in the Sixth district,
that hot bed of free silver and Bryan

audiences; everywhere he made con-

Dan Lawler, who knows what cam
paigning is, and Is himself the best of
the many first-class political workers
IN the party ranks in the state, is so
enthusiastic over the result of the
| campaign in Towne's district that he
sent the following telegram to the
| headquarters yesterday:
| ST. CLOUD, Mimi. Oct 30-Hon F. W. NJ
| Cutchecn, st. Paul, Mimi: Gov. Flower is
| the most superb campaigner that ever heard
| sturdy appeals to the reason and honor of
| the people If Towne should be defeated
| Gov. Flowers addresses will be of the
chief causes. Our audiences have been sim

Gov. Flower arrived in the city from
| his tour of the upper part of the state
yesterday afternoon and was driven to
