by his eloquence in behalf Of the Demo-
cratic state ticket and the county can

THE Democratic party" he said, "is
good enough to believe that its NOM
inees are superior in every way to the
nominees Of the Republican party. You
owe it to your own welfare to inquire
into the responsibility and ability and
qualifications of the different nominees
and to vote for the men whom your
conscience tells you are most COM
petent and fit for office. If you believe
our opponents are better fitted for Of
fee than we who solicit your votes, you
should vote for them. All we ask is
that you vote in accordance with an
enlightened conscience. They who trace
their ancestry to the island in which
L first saw the light will cheerfully sup
port ME and John Wagner and Miesen
and Mr.. Oppenheim and every other
candidate on the Democratic ticket.
Victory hoVers over and around the
banner of Democracy, and it never was
borne by a better man than honest
patriotic John Lind. If every citizen
will vote this year, the Democratic
ticket will be elected without an ex-
ceptiOn."
Oscar Tankenoff, candidate for coun-
ty commissioner, said the Democrats
should all work with one purpose, and
then the ticket would win without
doubt.
when you vote" he said, you
should start at ha,bottom Of the ticket
and work up to John Lind If 1 am
elected, 1 shall perform my duties to
the best of my ability, and none shall
regret it,
DR.. o. S. Pine, candidate for coroner,
was next introduced.
There will be an inquest held on

three legs broken, and it will devolve
upon the Democracy Of Ramsey county
to break the fourth leg, and 1 leave it
to you to say whether or my oppo-
nent shall hold It, There will be a
jury of good Democrats elected to view
the remains, and 1 think the coroner
should be in political sympathy with
the jury
The Willow Bluff orchestra rendered
several musical selections, and John
F. Salaba sang What Dewey Did to
Them" J. Q. Jueneman, candidate for
the legislature in the Fifth ward, then
spoke.
II have few promises to make" he
began. IF I am elected I propose to
do my full duty and to act for the best
interests Of my constituents If de-
feated I will console myself with the
reflection that many better men than
1 have been defeated. Put I believe We
shall all be victorious. We must work
together, and if we do, we shall go
down to the old city hall with a ma
jOrity of at least 500.'
Thomas J. McDermott was then in
troduced, and as he began to speak. a
yellow dog entered the hall and ran
upon the platform.

The sally was greeted with laughter.
ard President Jansen said the dog
should be adopted as a mascot
Mr.. Bigelow," continued Mr.. Nc
Dermott, is at least indiscreet to make
a remark that he would rather vote
for a yellow dog than a Democrat, to
residents OF ms ward. If he is indis-
Greet, he has no title to the place he
seeks. We cannot afford to vote for
BfgelOw when we have such a candi-
date as Mr.. Oppenheim It is your
duty to vote against any man OH the
Democratic ticket whom you believe
untitled for the position he seeks
There is no question that Lind will be
elected governor. He must wipe out
the game, fish, wheat and grain com
missions. They employ an army of
political office holders who do not earn
any money, but eat up the money Of
the taxpayers. Lind will need the as
sistance Of Democratic legislature in
order to correct Republican abuses.
We must show the people that the
Democratic party is true to it's prin-
ciples''
John Ives, who is running for sena-
tor, delivered a strong speech.
We have ali heard Of what Dewey
did to the Spanish" he said. HE
went into Manila bay and in two hours
sank the Spanish fleet. And Dewey is.

the Spanish fleet under Ceryera to
cover and bottled it in Santiago har-
Dor and took leading part in its de-
stTuction, was Commodore Schley. And
Schley is Democrat. Another man

the risk of his life. He was Lieut.
Blue, and he is a Democrat. Another
man, who saw the necessity of hot
ting up Cervera's fleet and sank a
vessel In the channel, was Lieut.. Hob
son, and Hobson is Democrat. An
other great general led the victorious
American troops into Puerto Rico.
Gen. Miles, and he is a Democrat.
The Republicans boast that that
barty declared war against Spain. but
it was won by Democrats. When the
Maine was sunk with all her brave
men. and the people rose and said the
outrage should be avenged, Mark Han
ma said WeucouId not have war, and he
postponed the war until the burning
sun Of Cuba played greater havoc with
our troops than Spanish bullets.
