reputation; have scorned TO say that the
Democratic party for a century has stood for
freedom of trade freedom of industry, free
dom of speech, freedom of contract, and that
the Chicago platform makes vain regrets of
the work of past lifetime; have scorned to
say simply that the Democratic party
throughout its history has stood for the en-
foreement Of the law, and that the Chicago
platform announces this novel doctrine that
while it has the function of government to
punish crime, 1t is without the sphere of gov
eminent to prevent crime. (Applause.) / have
scorned to say simply that the Democratic
party, recognizing that whenever the national
legislature has attempted to usurp any of
the functions of the state or the state has
reached out its greedy grasp for any of the
rights of the citizen, the supreme court of
the United States has stretched forth its arm
and stayed the hand of the usurper, and rec
ognzing that fact, has been the chiefest
guardian of that most august tribunal of
history, and that the Chicago platform con-
tains threat that henceforth an appeal shall
lie from that tribunal to the caucus of the
Populist~ party.
These things haye been sufficient answer.
But In addition TO them we have replied:
sOur country. which was the birthplace of
liberty, which Is the hope of humanity where
lie the graves of our fathers, and which we
hope to leave as an honorable heritage to our
children, is greater than any party. and for
it we would sunder ties far more dear than
those OF politics. tApplause) Tonight our
country calls US, and he who. when he hears
his country's voice would not turn his face
from the reckoning finger of party associa-
ton to that high place where patriotism sits
enthroned above all partisanship, would not
be worthy of his country, would not be
worthy Of himself, would not be worthy any
thing of life that deserves his sacrifice"
(Applause)
1t is the dearest memory of my life that
when, back in the days of 1860, the integrity
of this nation was once before attacked, my
good old father. young man then, led many
a charge Of the gallant boys OF the North
into the belching mouth of the rebel cannon
that he was one of that blue wave, crested
with the bayonets Of steel that swept back
ward the tide of rebellion into its own South
ern seas; and, feeling this way, I could not
for moment give my adhesion to any such
doctrine as that which was announced in
Chicago.
At this point a man sitting IN the first or
second row made a disturbance by muttering
and kissing his disapproyal.

applause and cries of Throw him out" and

place and announced that he would
'repudiate the repudiaters.' !"
Everybody knew whoswas referred to
and the cheering began before Gov.
Flower rose to greet the audience. 1t
has been said that Gov. Flower is not
an orator. The statement ,ds true,
doubtless, but there are few speakers
who have been heard In ST. Paul during
the campaign who have been so enter
tanning. His was not strictly speaking
a political address. Rather like the
martyr president, to whom he re-
ferred so often, he is teller of stories,
each with a point So clear that the
audience sees the application at once.
A newspaper report made of his anec-
dotes alone would be- interesting
reading. But this comment is
no reflection upon the New
Workers. strength of argument.
His appeals to the humorous
side of his hearers adds to the force of
his utterances. An intimate knowledge
of Minnesota and her people, a man
of keen business sense and ability. a
politician Of the highest and cleanest
type. it is little wonder that his re-
marks were adapted to the occasion
and found favor with all, AS an owner
of many farms he knows the effect of
depression on farmers. and as a bust
ness man he knows the cause thereof.
Therefore his arguments against a re-
pudiated currency and the doctrines of
Populism were the attefances of a man
gifted with knowledge Happily, as he
confessed, there was no reason for ling
ering over the crime of 49, and he
pleaded guilty to sa satisfaction that but
once more in the campaign will he be
called upon to talk about free silver
and that will be his final speech to be
delivered in Indiana on Monday. The
brief story Of his career and its hard
ships, told with softened voice as he
referred to the trials and hardships of
a widowed mother, made a good i'm
preston on the audience, many of
whom perhaps, looked upon the man as
one Of those whom great wealth has

made proud and cold Of heart. But the
Falstaffian proportions and genial man
ner of the speaker warmed the audi
ence as no other speaker has during the
campaign.
+ When Gov. Flower ceased there were
cheers of anticipation Although the
hour was late no one LEFT the hall.
Everybody knew that Daniel w. Law
Ter was going to express an opinion
OF the men who betrayed the Demo-
Gratis at Chicago There was more
applause and it lasted longer than at
any other time during the evening
when he advanced to the footlights
He said some of the things that would
have been expressed had not Gov. Pal
mer's arrival at the Auditorium on
the previous Saturday night interrupt
ed him. Like David Hill, he said .sI am
Democrat" and unlike the New
York senator he told exactly where he
stands in the present campaign and
the reason therefor. Mr. LAWYERS
eloquence is of the fiery. fmpetuous
kind that never hesitates for a word
never falters in giving hard knocks to
his enemies. yet is true and subtle and
forc1bIe. To his enemies ne is unspar-
ing in invective; no one can be more
choice of language in patriotic efforts
and the appeals to reason are noble in
sentiment. with a true and vigorous
ring. His reference to the candidate
of the fusion ticket for governor was
the signal for a few Kisses. and his
denunciation Of that candidate was
unsparing. His appeal to the voters
to cast a ballot for Gov. Clough. as
the representative OF a party that
would not dishoner the state. was re-
ceived with tremendous cheering.

impassioned appeal-little wonder the
great audience at the Metropolitan
opera house last night applauded and
cheered. 1t was an audience splendid
in appearance as well as proportions.
The best representatives of the city's
interests were there, regardless Of
party Affiliations, and they filed the
boxes, a part Of the stage and all Of
the seats in the lower part of the house
and in the dress circle. The aisles and
foyers were filled-probably not less
than 1900 people in all. 1t was a dig
nified, intelligent audience, one that
honored the distinguished gentlemen
by it's presence. There were ladies'
hundreds Of them; there were strang-
ers from out of the city, who came
some of them long distances; in the
boxes were the leaders of business and
social life; on the platform were some
of the best known representatives Of
Iabors interests, clergymen and clerks,
bankers and breadwinners form the
humber walks of life sat side by side
and gave approval to the sentiments
that were uttered from the platform.
In many respects it was a remarkable
gathering The speakers are repre-
sentatives of a political party that is
doomed to defeat. But if one might
Judge from the approval of their audi
tors, these speakers are the forerun-
ners of the old Democracy, purified and
regenerated by the ordeal Of the cam
paign. Strong in the hope Of the fu-
ture, incorporating in their adher-
ence to the principles Of the party that
Jefferson founded, defiant in the face
of defeat that party treachery has
made possible, these three, true to the
candidates of their party, enunciated
the faith that was In them and that
found echo in the hearts Of hundreds
of their auditors.

the many fine speakers in st. Paul Mr..
Cutcheon takes a front rank for clear
ness and elegance of language and
force of argument. Full of thought,
strong in argument the address was
delivered in calm and dispassionate
manner that carried conviction The
rounded sentences betrayed evidence
Of care in preparation, the logic of the
argument betokened familiarity with
the subject at issue. His appeal to the
patriotism of the nation, and his ref
erence to Lincoln were signals for out
bursts of applause that showed the
deep hold the speakers thought had
upon his hearers. at will be an evil
day when the people will have to
choose between the paternalism Of Re-
publicanism and the socialism of Pop
ulism," said Mr.. Cutcheon, nd the
storm of approval that followed was
long and loud
1t was during Mr.. Cutcheen's address
that a couple of rowdies sitting in front
seats began disturbance. One of the
men persisted in smoking, the other
in making half audible remarks that
were not complimentary to the speaker
or to the audience Mr.. Lawler quiet
ly stepped to the front of the plat
form and admonished the men to main
tain silence. The reply was rude and
insulting, and the men rose to depart
with some threatening remark. "You
can't do that here said Mr.. Lawler.
This is not Missouri" There were
few Kisses, and someone cried: Put
them out" but Mr.. Cutcheon said:
Gentlemen, don't get excited over
little Populistic moonshine," and the
incident passed from memory
Mr. Cutcheon introduced Gov. Flow
er as "a man who did not wait four
months to determine what he should
do when the Democrats betrayed their
party at Chicago. but who rose In his

They. called US boilers, gentlemen. I have
scorned, through this campaign to reply to
that charge as might have replied, simply
with the statement that they have nominated
Tor the presidency 6 man who Is not a DEM
ocrat, and have adopted a platform that is
anti Democratic; have scorned to say, as I
might that the Democratic party for a CEN
fury has stood for individual liberty and that
the Chicago platform proclaims the tyranny
Of the mob; that the Democratic platform has
stood for the constitution and the mainte-
nance Of its institutions, and that the Chi

ton and all its institutions; / have scorned
to say simply that the Democratic party has
stood for individual honesty and for national

of deep-seated patriotism, a man always
watchful Of the laws and of the guarantees of

Lincoln (applause), and he looked into the
federal statutes to find some Justification for
putting down this attack upon his country s

OF America upon the same page and in the
same section that Grover Cleveland found his
warrant for sending the boys in blue to the.

you that If there is any man here who wore

suffering and sacrifice Of those four long
years IL, whether free silver man or not

Chicago platform. (Applause.)
NOW, gentlemen, we are not going to give
oyer the federal government into the hands
OF men who say there is no federal govern
ment; we are not going to declare that it is
a government without power to enforce its
laws, and therefore nothing but shell. This
issue was buried thirty years ago buried in
the graves of five hundred thousand brave
fellows, who paid, all over the great South
the last full measure Of their devotion to
their country. 1t Is buried and / don't be-
neve 1T can be resurrected. But If its wrath
ever walks the earth, If it today threatens
us again, the voters of America, in the sill
ence OF the booth next Tuesday alone with
their conscience and their God will find
some conjuration to dispel it. (Applause)
But my Republican friends say to me- .sIf

friends. want to tell you why 1 am not
supporting William Mckinley. Perhaps YOU
don't want to hear it, but you have come
here for the purpose Of hearing It, and YOU
are going to hear it. (Applause) There are
some of us who have given their years of
devotion to the Democratic party, who have
been taught and who have been teaching and
who believe that the doctrines of the Repub-
lican party have been the mothers and faith
ers OF this very principle which underlies
this darnnable heresy Of the free coinage of
silver. We believe that it will be an evil
day when this country Is left to choose be-
tween the paternalism of Repubicanism
upon the one hand and the socialism or Pop-
ulism on the other. (Applause) We believe
there should be a great constitutional party
advocating the principles of individual lib-
erty, and we believe that there is ne way to
maintain 1t except for those Democrats who
believe as we believe to rally in this cam
paign, just upon the heels of the action at
Chicago. and raise the time-worn and battle
stained banner Of true Democracy and hold
1t upright In this nation around which the

platform that denounces that man who is
worthy to have been the only Democratic
president in the third of century because he
has enforced the federal laws, as he swore
upon his oath to do? (Applause.) say that
the Chicago platform denounced Grover
Cleveland. Applause.) 1t will be his high
and greatness that it did denounce him.
(Renewed applause) The denunciation was
but slightly yelled, It was not sufficiently
yelled. but that behind 1t you could see the
grinning features Of Ben Tillman and of John

What are the facts upon which that de-
nuncfation was based? This is a government

American must look back with horror and

boys who initiated that strike. because they
are law-abfding and law-loving class Of
men, but in every great community like Chi

cellars and in the alleys waiting until some
ogre's feast is spread for them so that under
the cover of the night they may come out and
devour 1t. and this feast was spread and they
came with torch and bullet, and in the city
Of Chicago mob law reigned supreme, and
every hour was marked by the going out Of
some human life. Then the federal courts
were appealed to, and they believing -
what has been and always will be the law
that the government has the right to prevent
crime, particularly a. crime against its own
integrity, as 1t has the right to punish the
violation of the law the courts issued their
writs Of injunction, placed them In the hands
of their marshals. their marshals were pow

dent of the United States may ever SO demean
himself as under such circumstances to ask

governor. Great applause.)
The riot was stopped, interstate commerce
went on its way, and so did the federal
mails. Do you know when the section of
the statute under which Mr.. Cleveland sent
his troops to Chicago had last before been
appealed to? Why, there was a time, gen.
