Hon. Chas. A. Towne.
During his trip over the ranges tv

during MS Trip over the ranges two
years ago, the Hon. Chas. A. Towne
gave vent to words which leave no
doubt in the minds of the people how
he felt on the political subject. This
year he comes forth opposed to- the
principles advocated two years ago
and entirely opposite to the principles
advocated two years ago and entirely
opposite TO the principles advocated
at that time. While the writer was
at Tower and during the campaign,
he had occasion to listen to the Hon.
Chas. and remember words spoken.
Here are few lines taken from his
address delivered at the time of the
visit of Mr.. Towne and Gov. Nelson
at Tower and Ely.
In opening his address he said: II
see on every hand indications that
this is Republican audience. 1 see
in the audience number of ladies of
the community who represent the
American home, which is the prime
object of the Republican party to
protect. Above the stage 1 see the
glorious banner Of the republic, which
would have been suffered to trail in
the dust had it not been for the
Republican party"
Il see on the platform a saw log
and piece Of iron ore, two staples
under the care of the Republican
party together with the wages of the
men who handle them. ! see a large
audience with a grim determination
10 register their votes against the
destroying the policy Of the Demo
cratic party, and in favor Of the
Republican party, under which the
country has climbed to an eminence
where it is the envy of ALL"
IA traveller in a desert, weary and
foot sore, finds it hard too look back
and think of the green fertile
mountain he left in the morning and
believe there are flaws on that
mountain. So it is hard for US to
look back on the prosperity which has
resulted from Republican rule and
find flaws in the conduct of that
magnificent party"
He retrospectively reviewed the his
tory Of the parties for few admins
tratfons- Hersaid that for the ten
years preceding the presidential
election of two years ago the wealth
of the country increased from s44, 0O0,-
600, 900 to $50, 000, 600, 900. Wages in
creased SO per cent. At the end of
that time no man, who desired it.
needed to go without work at wages
that would give him competence.
Then the Republican party put in
operation the Mckinley bill. the re-
suits of which became Immediately
visible. Within six months there
was invested in new industries S40,-
100000. In the same length of time
345 new manufacturing establishments
were started, and a number of old
ones improved and renovated. EN-
ployment was given to $1,000 more
men. Then in a spirit of change the
voters Of the country put in a party
that had pledged itself fatty against
the principles that had brought these
things about.
'sThey have revised the tariff with
out regard to wages and the interests
of invested capital he said, land
you have all seen the results, and
many of you may have experienced
them"

Lake Superior Mining Institute.

The annual meeting of the Lake
Superior Mining institute was held in

which were received with thunderous
applause. He announced that the
combined NJ. and M. clubs of the city
numbered by list count just 1,100
members and that they were constant
ly increasing. This statement was
received with much applause by the
monstrous audience.
After a few preliminary remarks
the president introduced the Hon.
Page Morris as our next congressman
Amid most thunderous applause,
the Judge stepped to the front and
after an excuse for the poor condition
of his voice. he began one of the most
able addresses it has been the pleasure
Of the citizens of this city to hear.
On the stage with the speaker were
the various officers Of the various
clubs, NJ. W. Burt, Capt. Harry
Thomas, Manager Jno. Pengilly, Mr..
JAS. Goss. representing the News
Tribune, Mr.. J. Coleman represent
ing the Minneapolis Tribune and
several other Ely citizens. The in
side space of the hall was literally
covered with flags, banners and bunt-
ing.
Judge Morris has difficulty in open
ing his addresses owing to the con-
dition of his voice which had been
OVertaxed in his trip through the
country. 1t did not however take
long for the voice to take on some
thing like its oldtime ring.
This certainly is Republican
meeting" said he. He did not take
the immense gathering as a compli-
ment to himself but that the majority
of the people were tired of Democratic
misrule and would do all in their
power to right the wrongs done to the
American people by electing good
Republican president and congress.
He quoted from the speeches delivered
by Hon. Chas. A. Towne in 1892 and
clearly showed that either Mr.
Towne's words were not true in 1892
or that they were applicable at the
present time. If the restoration of
the Republican party was necessary
in 1892 it surely is at the present
time. He compared the wages of
laborers in our immediate vicinity
during the last campaign with the
wages of today and also cited the
shipments and outputs of the mines
in that year with those OF today.
The Republican party was still the
party for the country and the people
and stood in the same position it did
in 1894 when Chas a. Towne was
stumping the country in its behalf
and in behalf of himself for congress.
Mr.. Towne makes the claim that the
party has changed, not that he has
changed.
He touched upon the silver question
which the Democrats and Populists
claim is the issue of the campaign.
The listeners were very much pleased

Ely, the occasion being the visit Of
the Hon. Page Morris to this city.
The judge was tittingly received and
the Republicans wed with each other
in making the occasion one of the
largest ever witnessed here.
The Judge arrived on the noon train
from Tower in company with Geo. R.
Laybourn and Mayor Vail, candidates
for the legislature from this district,
c. G. Mccarthy, of Grand Rapids,
MIMI, who is stumping in connection
with Judge Morris for the Republican
faith.
After dinner at the Exchange hotel,
the party took rigs and drove to
Winton, accompanied by about ten
of our citizens and where Mr.. Morris
spoke to the employees OF the Knox
Lumber company his address taking
up about half an hour, after which
Mr.. Mccarthy also addressed the
gathering. The people of Winton
were well pleased with the speakers.
In the evening monster parade
began to form on First avenue, con-
sisting of the Austrian Mckinley and
Morris club. the Finn Mckinley and
Morris club and the Mckinley and
Morris club of Ely, the procession
being led by company of cavalry
and followed by the City band in the
lead of the Austrian contingent fol-
lowed by the Republican Mckinley
and Morris club of Ely after which
the Finn band and the Finnish Nc
kinley and Morris club. At a close
estimate there were 1000 people in
line. Many banners were noticeable
in the column, bearing such inscrip-
tions as IF gold dollar is worth 200
cents, it Is none too good for u.s."
"For Congress, Hon. Page Norris"
For member of the legislature, Hon.
P. b. Vail,'' For President, VIM.
Mckinley" and others giving the
names of the various clubs.
The stores and business houses
along the line of march were brilliant
" Illuminated and red fire torches and
fire works lit up the streets. The
line OF march extended through the
principal streets of the city to the
Finnish Temperance hall where the
addresses were to take place. Upon
arrival at the hall sort of stampede
for admitance ensued which was only
checked when the hall was filed to
the doors.
There we're still several hundred
people on the outside clamoring for
admitance and as Mr.. Morris was not
in condition to speak in the open air.
Mayor Vail, G. c. Mccarthy and Mr..
Laybourne went to the Turf hall
where Mr.. Mccarthy spoke to a
crowded house.
After the crowd at the Finn hall
had quieted down, President Of the
Clubs, II. B. Sturtevant stepped to
the stage and made a few remarks

be between 150, 900 and 10000 visitors
in the two cities during the week as
railroads are giving rate of one cent

good for thirty days. There will be
parades and spectacles each day in
both cities, SO arranged that the main
features do not interfere with each
other and each city offers carnival
features at night. When to all this
is added the great state fair and a
dozen attractions in the way of amuse-

The point at which the present State Off
GERS, who had no opposition, were to be
voted upon was reached with a feeling CT
relief by the delegates, who recognized in
this an opportunity for respite from the
tedious business of balloting. On the call
for nominations for Secretary of State
Quincy A Myers, of Cass county, nominal
ted W. d. Owen. and, there being no other
names placed before the convention, mo-
ton to make the nomination of Mr.. Owen
unanimous prevailed, and he was declared
the choice of the convention. In like man
ner was made the nomination Of A. C. Daily
for Auditor and w. A. Ketcham for Attor-
ney-general.
For Treasurer the Second district nominal
ted the present incumbent and Huntington
county gave the convention the name of
Leopold Levy for consideration. The bal
lot was taken amid great confusion While
the ballot was being taken the chairmen of
several delegations sought recognition
for the purpose of making motions to adj
journ, but they were not recognized. 1t was
soon evident that Scholz would be NOM
mated, the candidate from Huntington
receiving but scattering support. Before
the roll was half called Mr.. Scholz had re-
ceived the nomination. When the ballot
was announced Mr.. Levy moved that the
nomination of Mr. Scholz be made unani-

of the ballot was as follows:

VITALITY OF HUMBUG.
-he Illustration Afforded by the Talk
About TheosOphy.

A young man named Hargrove was elect

delegates. The size Of the meeting and the

The truth IL that there is nothing in theos-

is really nc. such thing as theosophy. II Is

Theosophy, moreover, Is a very small curiosi-

the most extravaganza popular magination.
All told the last census gave the number or
theosophists in the United States. at only
$500. and it Is not probable that they nave

there are fewer of them. for little as the in
