NIOra-MinnesOta Politics.

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, Oct. 13.-
Especial Hon. John Lind tonight ad-
dressed one Of the largest and most
attentive audiences ever seen in the
local opera house On the issues of the
campaign Mr.. Lind gave them a good,
plain and forcible talk, and held the
audience to man. Mr.. Lind said 1t
pleased him Immensely to see a circle
of old soldiers on the speakers plat
form, many Of whom had been lifelong
Republicans.
The union nominee spoke briefly on
the moral effect which Mr.. Eustis
claimed it would have on this country
If q congress were returned this fall
that did not coincide with the views
OF the present administration. The
speaker urged that the American peo-
pie were fair, and that this fact would
insure the right disposition Of the
questions now before the people, and
the other great questions that would
arise in the future. Mr. Lind also laid
stress on the fact that Mr. Eustis
would rather let the state issues and
Ills rest until another election, and to
hold up the present administration,
which, Mr.. Lind said, had very little
to do with the affairs of this state
He showed how the fusion legislature
Of 1891 passed the bill for the manufac-
ture Of prison twine to enable the farm
er to get that article at a fair price,
q bill which also played havoc with
the cordage trust, when twine was sell
ling for five and six cents a pound, and
how, later on. in some strange man
ner the cordage trust procured all the
twine that was being made and put the
-2rice up as high as twenve to sixteen
cents. Mr.. Lind also said that If the
fusion legislature in 1891 had made such
large appropriations, why did not the
Republican governor veto them.
Mr.. Lind eulogized Judges Mitchell,
Canty and Buck, and showed also why
Childs, Steenerson and Collins were
turned down.
Speaking of Mr.. Towne, Mr. Lind
said:
If you want to feel that the work
which is before us is we'll done you
must send that man to congress who
can, by reason Of his wonderful talents,
present pending questions as he alone
can. If you feel that he can serve you
well you will DO your duty If you stand
by him side by side and do all you can
TO insure his election. I do not need
to mention his name. There is no other
there IS no substitute. no other can be
mentioned There is but one. CTre-
mendous applause) Oh, he IS getting
that same applause all over the dis
trict."
Touching on the policy Of imperialism
MI Lind said:
"A Twin City morning paper
charges that want to pull
down the American flag. My
friends, I am not built that way
(Applause) But I don't want to see
that flag anywhere except for a ID
purpose and to help our people We
all want to build UP our commerce in
the Pacific, but when we are casting
out for commerce why not begin at our
own doors. have always felt it pity
that Our great and powerful nation
should treat the Canadians in so little
g manner as we have. They possess
a territory as extensive as ours. Their
love Of liberty is as great az is ours
And still we shut ourselves up against
this neighbOr of our own kith and kin.
We are afraid they will throw some
OF our men out Of jobs Do you know
this state would get all the trade be-
tween Hudson bay and the Pacific if
the trade restrictions were removed. II
