s. b. Nelson, of Luverne, a delegate
from Rock county to the Democratic
state convention, left for Chicago last
night on business. Before taking the
train Mr.. Nelson said to the Globe
reporter:
Il sat In that convention as a silver
man, but when I saw the right Of free
speech denied to Democratic delegates,
thought the American flag on the
platform was being Knocked in one Of
the essential things that it stands for.
In my opinion the three gentlemen
whom 1T was sought to humiliate
should have been given fair and
courteous hearing. A great mistake
was made in summarily expelling them
unheard, by their own mouths or
through their friends"
TO a question regarding the silver
strength in Rock county and the south
western part Of the state, Mr.. Nelson
replied: 1T Is very general and very
strong. In my opinion Mr. Lind will
carry Rock county sure and come
pretty close to carrying some other
counties that have heretofore been Re-
publican"

his address upon sound money to an
interested store full of men at the
Thompson block, Wabasfa and Isabel
