a SOUND MONEY MEETING,
The Advocates Of So-called Sound Money
Get Together and Organize.

Get Together and Organize.
A meeting of about two hundred Cit
zens was held at Union Hall Wed nesda,
evening in response to dodgers announc
ing speeches on the money question b,
Prof. Mohr and the redoubtable Charli
HeidemaD, he of the Cleveland, Hill
German and Lawler school. There wa
a liberal sprinkling ofsilver men through
out the audience and, when it came to
test: it developed that the great majori
ty of the audience were not very enthus
tactic in their desire to- further the caus,
of lso-called sound money.
Prof. Mohr was the first speaker anl
talked in German for nearly an hour
he brought out nearly all of the usua
arguments In favor of a financial polio,
which the Republican party itself admit.
to be ruinous and simply disposed of the
demand for Independent action by the
United States by ridiculing it.
Heldeman was to follow him with a
discourse on the same question, but fol
some reason or other, he refused. ~
Calls were then made for signeis to
the sound money club, but it didn't seem
to work ri ght. Over two.thirds of the
audience left the hall, and, by actual
count, there were only sixty left.
Question then arose as to the baptislnal
name of the club. Mullen wanted it to
be known as the Non-Partisan Sound
Money Club, whereas Hornburg was an
xious to ring in the name of Mckinley,
So was Gottlieb Schmidt. Stricken, how-
ever, favored the former idea, although
be intended to vote for Mckinley. The
name n-Partisan," he said, would act
IS sugar-coat to what would necessari-
" DE a bitter pill. Heideman agreed
TO this and stated that while his sentl-
nents would force him to affiliate with
for the election of sound
money electors and congressman, he
to have it understood that he re-
erved the right to vote for his personal
rlends for state and county officers So
he name "Non-Partisian Sound Money
Club" prevailed.
Dr.. Stricken was then elected as
resident and IN assuming the chair re-
allied the statement of Heideman rela-
i've to state officers and said that any
lember of the club expressing IL senti-
lent III favor of any man running on
nytbing but sound money platform
7ould have to be declared out of order.
leideman made no reply.
For vice presidents Gottlieb Schmidt
ominated Prof. Mohr and REIN nomi
atcl Hcideman. Both were declared
lectcd.
For secretary Jonas Laudenschlaeger
jill. Weddendort and he was
,lso chosen.
For treasurer, Capt. Wanzer suggested
II. Mullen, and there being no other
'ame presented he was declared to be the
treasurer of the organization.
On Saturday evening another meeting
vas held at which only so people were
present and at which time G. W. H. Hell
leman enlarged upon the beauties of
he single gold standard.
The following executive committee
was annvunced: First Ward, Gottlieb
Schmidt and Chas. Stolz, they to select
I third; Second Ward, F. Ii. Retzlaff
and John korbel Jr., they to select a
third; Third Ward, L. B. Krook, Chas.
Grusendorf and Ath. Henle.
When ex-Congressman Boon, editor
Of the Fergus Falls Globe, undertakes
to make the people of this state believe
that John Lind is "a political Fraud"
he only proves to an impartial observer
that the people in his own district exer-
cised rare judgment and good common
sense in refusing to honor him with a.
mother nomination for congress. A per-
son need not necessarily indorse Lind's
political views in order to admit of his
good record as a public man and his
purity of character as citizen. MANY
