There were several curious coinci-
dences in connection with the gathering
in Exposition hall last night. The
meeting was held for the espousal Of

candidate for president. A little more
than four years ago William Mckinley
refused to permit his name to go be-
fore the Republican National conven-
ton, held in the same hall. Last night
Hon. D. w. Lawler, of st. Paul, de-
nounced the treachery of the Demo-

marked by the enthusiasm of the
woman who waved flag and scream

His eloquent and rounded periods were
delivered in voice hoarse and
strained. But so intent was the audi
ence on hearing the words of argu-
ment and prophecy that the hall was
in perfect quiet and the speaker could
be heard in all parts of the hall
Shortly before 8 o'clock Mr.. Cochran
entered the hall from the rear of the
platform, accompanied by Hon. d. w.
Lawler and Hon w D. Washburn. In
an instant the audience was on its
feet, cheering. and waving flags and
banners. Watson's First Regiment

for some minutes. The audience then
discovered that the orator of the eve
