If any one had doubt Of the strength
of the National Democratic movement
in the Northwest, and of the strong
sympathy it has evoked from all who
love courage and sacrifice for principle
in party action. he should have been
at the Auditorium last evening. A
magnificent audience was gathered
and the gentlemen who, with them, are
engaged in the National Democratic
canvass. For hours these interested
thousands Of hearers braved the rigors
of chilly atmosphere and applauded
to the echo the patriotic sentiments
to which they listened. 1t is an inspir-
ing and glorious cause, this protest
against the evils that have become en-
bedded in the doctrines of the two
great organizations opposed to each
other today; this championing of the
thing that is at once ideally right and
practically best adapted to assure to
ment of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness.
1t was royal reception that was
given to the representatives of the
Democratic party; of ''the only Demo-
cratic party" as the venerable presid-
ing officer declared it, in an utterance
that was applauded enthusiastically.
And never was honor better deserved.

are helping to rescue Democracy from

it seemed to have sunk forever when
the Chicago convention had done it's
evil work. They are laying broad and

is to represent the best thought and
highest aspirations of this people here
after. The day will come, and that
not long hence, when the rise of the
National Democracy will be remem-
bered as was the rise of the movement
against human slavery, and Palmer
and Buckner will be the heroes of
great and grand crusade in behalf of
liberty and free institutions. 1t made
the heart of a Democrat beat high with
courage and with pride to witness the
earnestness, to listen to the burning
words of last nights meeting, and to
feel how surely they struck responsive

THE LAST CHANCE TO REGIsTER

II there is anybody who is unmindful
of it, the o wants to address to
him a last word of warning today. This
is the last chance for registration I'M

been personally to his proper polling
place when the books are closed to-
night and had his name entered upon
the lists is disfranchised. He will have
no voice or vote In the great and in
teresting contest that is now SO close
upon us. There are from 5000 to 10000
qualified voters in this city, at the low

from the city account for the absence
of this large contingent No doubt.

off the duty until the last moment when
it could be performed. Nobody must
be allowed to forget 1t today, Let
word go forth into every nook and
corner of st. Paul that every person
entitled to vote must be registered in
the few hours yet remaining. After to-

citizen the right to vote. This is the

INSULT TO CARLISLE.
Louisville Determined 1t Shall Not
BE Re,eated


LOUISVILLE, ky, Oct. 23.-The in
suit to Secretary Carlisle, at Covington
last night, has created profound SEN
sat1on in Louisville, and it has assunl-
ed the form of determined movement
which will effectually prevent the re-
petition of the outrage at any other
point in Kentucky. Mr. Carlisle speaks
here next Wednesday, and this morning
the Following telegram was sent him:
You will have such complete protection
against insult, and so grand an ovation
when you come to Louisville, as will for
ever wipe out the attempt CT last night to
destroy free speech dishonor the fair name
Of kentucky and to discredit her foremost
citizen.
The telegram is signed by Chair
man Dayie and Secretary Carroll, of
the gold standard Democratic state
committee, and forty of the citys
leading men. In addition, Mayor Todd
sent a telegram of similar import. To-
morrow afternoon Mr.. Carlisle speaks
at Bowling Green, and Hon. John S.
Rhea, silver candidate for congress
will demand division of time, which
will of course be refused. In this event
the silver men propose to hold a meet

where the secretary speaks This, 1t is
feared, will cause serious trouble, as
the gold standard men are determined
the secretary shall not be insuIted.

Tuesday for the purpose of register

born in st. Paul and had lived here
for twenty-five years. he would not be
allowed to vote. because his parents
were foreign born. unless he took out
naturalization papers. When he ap-
piled to the clerk of the courts for

were not necessary, even if his father
had not himself been naturalized.

AN UNwARRANTED ATTACK,

An article in the Minneapolis Times
attacking violently the proposed
amendment to the constitution offer
ing home rule to cities is not only I'M
just In its argument, but it is char
acteristically narrow in it's view. There
has been occasion to observe before
that a very few people in MINNEAPOLIS.
including, however, some Of her repre-
sentatives in the legislature. were not
satisfied with being permitted to gov
ern their own city in their own way.
but insisted that they should have the
right to prescribe to all cities in the
state the same form of local rule. This
appears to be the contention of the
Minneapolis Times today They have
their charter in Minneapolis, and thew
succeeded in Incorporating it prac-
tically in a general law of the state
for all cities, known as the Howard
charter. This would seem to be suf-
fieient, especially inasmuch as, under
that charter, the greatest scandals
have occurred in the municipal govern
ment, and it has been necessary to
mass public opinion and to threaten
popular uprising in order to prevent
the contamination of offensive deals in
paving and other contracts. These
events have not particularly recon-
mended the Minneapolis charter svs-
tenn to the other cities Of the state
II, however the people of that civ
are satisfied with it, no one else has
word to say.
The other cities do desire something
different. After four years of consulta-
ton and struggle, carried through two
entire legislative sessions, these cities
have found themselves unable to aarea
upon common form, of charter. This
is reasonable enough, anu. indeed m
avoldable; since there are local coma;
tions in each city that REQUIRE differ
ent treatment from those of some other
city. The practical situation. as well
as the rule Of fair play and the general
principles Of self-government. reouires
the grant of home rule. This means
nothing but that each city should ha
permitted to determine its own form
of government, subject to general leg
islative control. That idea is embodied
in the amendment which is to ba
passed upon at the coming election.
and which provokes the opposition of
the Times.
The only argument which 1t has to
advance against the proposed change
is that the commission of fifteen free
holders, who are to prepare the new
charter and to submit amendments
thereto. Is body serving for life. and
that the city is deprived of "any righr
to authorize changes In it's own char
ter Or, to use. the language of the
Times, ''all power to frame or after
ward modify or alter the charter in
any way rests solely in the majority If

contrary to the principle of rule by
majority" So Is the rule for amend
ing the constitution of the United
States and the rule for passing a bill
over the veto of the federal or state

The proposition for home rule and the
argument in it's behalf is so exceeding
ly simple and unanswerable that we
do not see how any one can misun-
derstand or oppose it except willfully
Let 1t be remembered that IL this
amendment be adopted, no city in this
state is obliged to take advantage of
1t. 1T there is any city, town or viii
iage which shares the apprehension Of
the Times, that a commission appoint
ed by the district bench would consti-
tute an "oligarchy" that would deprive
it of it's liberties, it can keep the char
ter that it has or adopt the Howard
charter, and refuse forever to have
anything to do with the home rule pro-
vision. Resort to it is purely voIun-
tary. If, however, there are cities
which want to frame charters of their
own and take the consequences, can
any one name a valid reason why they
should not be permitted to do so? The
home rule amendment forces itself
upon no one. If the home rule amend,
ment is defeated, it does compel every
city in this state to either retain the
charter it may have outgrown in many
particulars, but which it is forbidden.

TO accept the vicious Howard charter

Brethren-During the absence of our own
beloved minister, Rev. Richard Westrope, we
were privileged to listened for six Sundays
to the exhortation- and instruction of your
dear pastor, the Rev. Samuel G.. Smith and
we feel we owe to him under Gods Priyi-

quickening seed thoughts that he has soWn in
many hearts, for his strenuous encourage
ment, manfully to face the difficult problems
of life, and for the heartening and cheer his
words have brought TO the weary among us.
In the little time he was with us he won
for himself place in all our hearts, and we
feel that we have an interest in him and in
his work that will not quickly fade.
And because his work is among you, breth-
rem, and by listening to his voice, we feel
somewhat akin to you, we desire to send
you this note of thankful congratulation and
good cheer, praying that the Divine Master
