initiation. At one time the situation
was really exciting. A Bryan rooter
defied all laws of common politeness
and persisted In yelling at the top of
his voice. He was removed over the
heads of the people by a squad of po-
lice officers who used slight gentleness
in shaking him out; shaking is the
only word which expresses 1t.
Hundreds clamored for admission
who could not get as far as the inner
doors, and the demand for space was
SO great that even the platform was
confiscated by dozens Of the hearers.
Ex-Gov. A. r. McGill presided over
the meeting He said the gathering
had been called in the interests Of
good government, good money, ana
good morals. and was cheered for the
statement. He denied that it was to
be partisan meeting, and said that
in proof of it's non-partisan character
there were celebrated speakers pres
ent who had always been Democrats
and who left the party through the
heresies espoused in the Chicago plat
form. The chairman said that the
country was facing a crisis which was
especially dangerous, but he had con-
fidence in the American people and
knew the danger would be faced
squarely. He informed the distin-
guished visitors that on the third Of next
November Minnesota would roll up a
clean majority Of 10000 for Mckinley
and sound money. statement that
brought repeated cheers. Ex-Gov. Nc
Gill then introduced the first speaker
of the evening. Gen. o. o. Howard.
The latter said in substance:
'T wish to confine large portion Of
my remarks to my old comrades in
arms, whom I see before me in great
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-26

There was left no room for doubt but
that the cause of sound money had
gathered it's disciples into a resistless
army. Those who were still tenacious
ly clinging to the other side felt their
confidence in the Chicago platform and
the Boy of the Platte severely shaken.
To put it in the language of Gen.
Alger, it was a bipartisan meeting,
for there in the group of distinguished
speakers on the stage was man who
proved himself the lion of the hour.
1t was Gen. Daniel Sickles, who like
David B. Hill had once said with pride
ST am a Democrat" There were also
in that notable group other great men
and men of national fame. There was
Gen. Russell A. Alger, OF Michigan, ex-
governor of the Wolverine state, and
often spoken of as presidential cam
didate. There was Gen. o. o. Howard,
a hero and fighter whose name is a
household world in every family of
patriots. There were also Gen. Thomas
]. Stewart, Corporal 1anner, Maj. J.
W. Burst, Col Geo. H. Hopkins and
w. C. Beer. Miss Sickles and Stanton
Sickles accompanied the general.
1t was a meeting never to be for
gotten. st. Paul certainly rarely wit
messed such noisy demonstration. Old
and young were fairly swept off their
feet in the keenness of their enthusi-
asm, and the old soldiers who sat
there under the eyes of their old-time
commanders, leaped and shouted, while
the color sergeants waved the flags in
wild gestures. The din was heard for
blocks. A hundred or so Bryan dis
turbers, who assembled in one section
of the gallery, started in to break up
the meeting and stampede the enthusi-
asm, but their efforts were as puny as
those of a dinner pail TO stop an In
coming tide. They were ridiculed.

and the sharpness Of his sarcasm have

as the general was in the height Of his
eloquence there would come a bawl
from some silver crank in the gallery,

was exhausted. Hurrah for Bryan, .

proceeding with his speech, which
was often punctuated and INTERRUPTED

Gen. Sickles said:
General Sickles spoke as follows:

Gen. Daniel Edgar Sickles, who took
conspicuous part in the great demonstration
of last evening, is one of the landmarks of
American history. He laid the foundation of
an honorable public career as long ago as
1S47, when he was elected member of New
York. his native state. He was one of the
sturdy Democrats who responded to the pres
idents call for men to defend the integrity
of the nation, and in this crisis he takes no
halfway measures, but comes out boldly for
Mckinley and national honor. Gen. Sickles
was elected to congress in 1857, and reelected
in 1859. In 1851 he organized the Excelsior
