mittee yesterday, and much necessary
work was accomplished to further the
progress of the campaign The COM
mittee decided unanimously to decline
the request of the sound money club
Tor a series of joint debates on the
nnanclal question. much to the disap-
polntment of Chairman Townley. Mr.
ToWnley has been one Of the most ag-
| gressive of the silver orators in the
county and has been aching to "get
at some OF the orators on the other
| Slue But the committee passed
resolution to the effect that the sound
! money party could not be regarded as
a party, and the Democrats do not
| Ieel 1t their duty to furnish the gold
orators an opportunity to address audi
| enceS they could not otherwise obtain.
Reports of the ward committeeman
/ snow that the campaign has been
opened IN every part of the city, and
plans for yet more aggressive action
were discussed. 1t was brought to the
attention of the committee that some
or the Democratic judges of election
named by the common council are not
/ residents of the precincts to which they
have been assigned for duty. The ward
committeeman were Instructed to in
Vestigate all. such cases and to see to
/ 1t that proper men are at hand to take
the places of the disqualified Judges
when they are removed from duty on
| election day.
| This afternoon at o'clock the ex-
ecutive committee will meet with the
candidates, and tonight the Democrat
| ic and P0pulist county committees will

tiers Of the former on the third floor of

Chairman Gibbs, of the Populist state
central committee is detained in Wis
| consin because Of illness in his fam
| lily, and E. E. Cowell, Of Saltwater
| has been called to headquarters to look
after the assignment of speakers.
| E. A. Jaggard spoke to the EMPLOYEES
| or the Great Western shops In South
st. Paul yesterday and was well re-
| cefved. His utterances on sound mon
| ey evidently pleased the workmen, as
| he was invited to repeat his speech
| at an early day. The workingmen
! in all the big factories where the sound
| money speakers have presented their
side of the financial argument have
shown great interest in the discussions
and there is no doubt that many
| converts to the sound money cause
have been made in this way. There
will be meeting at the Northern Pa
cific shops at the noon hour today, and
S. A. Anderson will probably be the
/ speaker.
| Sound money meetings will be held
| tonight at Gladstone and at Rose
Town. Good speakers from the city
will be in attendance.
| The most important sound money
/ meeting tonight will be held in Lieder-
| tafel hall, in the Sixth ward Daniel
| w. LaWler, leader of the sound money
Democrats, will be the principal speak
| er. Mr.. LAWYER has but lately returned
| from Chicago where he has been labor
| ing for the sound money cause He
| was recently appointed member Of
| the executive committee of the sound
money Democracy, and with f. w. M.
| Cutcheon directs the mana cement of
! the sound money campaign in Mime
sofa for the National Democratic party.
| But Mr.. Lawler has laid partisanship
| aside in this campaign and is working
! to save the country from an act of
| national reputation, which would fol-
! low the election of Bryan and the
adoption of free coinage by the govern
ment. His speech tonight may be
| looked forward to as a convincing
| and eloquent defense of the gold stand
| ard Other speakers of the evening
| will be S. A. Anderson and DIR. A. ].
Stone. Seats will be reserved for la
| dies and the great hall will be filed.
A feature OF the evening will be the

with songs and speeches of a comic
nature will parody the silver move
ment.

and Wells street, this evening. The
