The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-11-06

two-thirds of the chairs were occupied, and
the yawn1ng spaces of vacant chairs added
to the natural GOODNESS of the temperature.
M. w. Fitzgerald, who sat on the platform
blew on his fingers to make them warm when
he saw the empty chairs.
There are more people from the Second
procession
This bit of truth did not add to the gayety
OF the Republican managers about him.
1t became so late that many manifested an
inclination to leave the Auditorium and, fear
ing to lose what audience they had. the man
ayers Of the frost decided to begin hos
tilities. So Oar Reese introduced James Aus
tin, one of the crew of the Oregon and a
Minnesota boy, as one of the men who helped
to denolish Cervera's feet. The crowd want
ed Austin to speak. but he declined, and Mr..
Reese said Austin was one of the men who
spoke behind his guns.
Victor B. Dolliver, the Minneapolis spell
binder, was then brought to the front of the
platform and he delivered the same speech
he has delivered for several weeks past. 1t
was the same old song about loyalty to Nc
Kinley and Davis and the Republican party
for whipping the Spanish. He mentioned the
incident of the British minister at Washing
ton, giving the representatives Of the other
powers notice that In the event of cCmplica-
tons growing out of the Great Britain
would stand by the United States
''Hurrah for England?' shouted a Republic
can In a front seat.
The Republican campaign quartette sang
couple Of songs to keep the audience from
leaving the hail. and Congressman F. c..
spoken so often since the opening of the cam
paign. Not a thought was suggested nor d
new argument advanced in the Republican
cause. While he was speaking great many
left the hall, and at one time his voice was
drowned in the tramp Of retreating feet.
Then Charles MCGEE, of Milwaukee, was in
PRODUCED as the Young stiver-tongued orator
of the Badger state. Mr.. MCGEE may be sill
ver-tongued in Wisconsin, but he was not so
in the Auditorium, and in few moments the
crowd became weary of him and suggested
rudely that he would do well to take rest.
But he did not heed the advice and kept on
speaking. While he held the floor, Mr.. EustIs
entered the hall He was greeted in dead
silence, and a number of committeeman gath,
cred around him and looked at him Just as
friends and relatives of the deceased look at
corpse. There was the array Of empty
chairs before him, and nobody said a word
The sight needed no commentary.
MCGEE continued his speech, but there were
signs of impatience among the auditors. They
had seen Eustis, and they wanted to hear
him. Anybody was preferable to MCGEE So
they shouted for Eustis, and told MCGEE to
sit down and shut up and finally MCGEE took
the hint and retired.
1t was then that Weeping William stepped
to the front. He had his handkerchief, and
was all prepared to shed tears copiously
as the occasion might demand. 1t was an
occasion that justified some tears. He would
be a very cruel Democrat indeed who wau!A
not weep in sympathy for William in the
face Of such frost. There was an attempt
to create some enthusiasm but it failed and
only feeble cheer greeted Eustis when he
beamed as beneyolently as he could upon the
crnwd-
Mr. Eustis delivered the same speech he
spoke last week, when he wept all around the
city with the exception that he omitted refer
ence to his typewriter.
81 have but the highest admiration for John
Lind, he said, speaking of the Democratic
opponent. 81 have been his guest and he
has been mine and no word shall fall from
my lips that reflects upon the type and char
acter OF John Lind
Mr.. EustIs then predicted victory for all
the Republican ticket on Tuesday.
rir1 Sc Mr. EgfSf raada M
erence to the Guaranty Loan, the hospital site
or the state grain inspection questions. He
did not attempt to reply to or criticise the
before. nor did he say what he would do If
elected. His speech was barren of any issue
which Is of vital concern to every one Gres-
emf.
AS soon as he had stopped speaking every
one left the hall and made haste to get a
the chills that they collected while listening
to the flow of oratory.
