A Magnificent Address.

Senator Nelson was introduced and
was received most cordially by the
audience. He spoke for nearly two
hours and it is a source of regret to us
that we are unable through lack of
space to reproduce his speech in its
entirety. 1t was fir equently punctu-
ated by applause, and cannot but
greatly benefit the Republican cause
in this county.
Senator Nelson said that the fact
that such large numbers were present
showed that the people of Mankato are
fully alive to the Importance of the
campaign. During the campaign of
1854 the country was suppressing a
great civil war, and parallel exists
during the present campaign in that
the administration is now putting
down the remnants of an instruction
in the Philippines. The same party
that was criticising and hampering
Lincoln in his great work is now at
lacking Mckinley and his little army
over in Manila.
We look back to Harrison's admins
tration and we find that the country
was prosperous. The Mckinley tariff
bill and the Sherman anti trust law
were enacted during that administra-

be obliged to maintain an army and a
navy there and have no recompence
The Republicans say suppress the in
surrection, the few bands of marauders
remaining in the mountains and who
are today praying for the success of
the Democratic party.
In performing our duty as great
moral nation we will derive great
economic benefit. There are in the
east 600, 600, 900 to 700, 900, 600 people,
mostly in state of semi barbarism,
waking to a new life and new being.
With the Philippines in our hands
there is great opening for us. We
will make the Philippines a great
jobbing center and the great CONNER
cial emporium of the east, and Ameri-
can trade and the American flag will
be paramount.
When the Boxers broke out in China
our troops and sailors were among the
first on the ground, getting there in
week. 1t would have taken three
months to have done this if we had
not been in the Philippines. Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors marched at the
head of the relieving army to Pekin,
and an American boy was the first to
plant flag on the walls of Pekin.
applause Would you undo that
deed?
"Talk about the danger of stand
ing army 1t almost makes me mad, !"
said Mr.. Nelson. From Valley Forge
to the present day, no American SOL
der in peace or war has ever been dis
loyal to his flag or his country. At
the close of the civil war more than
a million of soldiers returned to the
pursuits of peace and like Cromwell s
soldiers they became the most indus
trious and patriotic of citizens and
have joined in promoting the pros
perity of the country. Let us old SOL
diers close up our ranks as we did in
the dreary days of the rebellion and set
an example in patriotism to the NOR
al towards of today, those who belle
our soldiers applause. We had no
thoughts of Imperialism, only the one
thought of the day when we could get
home and embrace our dear ones. That
is the American soldier, and not the
kind pictured by Bryan. 1t is the aid
given the enemy by traitors that kills
our soldiers. If you would haul down
our flag in the Philippines, scuttle the
ship, send home the soldier boys as
whipped ours, vote for Bryan. If you
would carry out our great moral duty
in the Philippines and reap all the ad-
vantages of commerce and maintain
the honor of the flag there is no other
alternative than to vote for Mckinley
and the whole Republican ticket,
whether you are Republican, Demo-
GRAFT or other party man.
Senator Nelson spoke in compliment
tary terms of Mckinley, Roosevelt,
Van SAINT and McCleary, and all were
vigorously applauded.
The meeting closed with cheers for
Nelson and the other Republican can
didates.

Who is AguinaldO?

''Who is Aguinaldo, this Democra-
tic George Washington" asked Sena-
tor Nelson, and then he proceeded to
answer the question himself by read
ing official documents proving how
Aguin aldo had played double game
with the Americans and Spaniards,
how he had plotted against the United
States even before he had returned to
the Philippines, of his self expatriation
for price, how he was brought back
on a United States vessel, and how he
proceeded with his treachery. When
Dewey sailed into Manila bay the
chiefs, who had heretofore succeeded
in only annoying and. tantalizing the
Spaniards at the head of bands of
half breeds were all in China The
new Spanish governor general had
bought them off as cheaper than fight
ing them. The chiefs were to be paid
$500, 600 in installments, but received
only half of that sum and abandoned
their agreement to stay abroad Their
subsequent acts were inspired by
mercenary motives and not patriotism.
1t is because we have not hauled
down our own flag and sent home our
troops like whipped ours that the
Democratic orators accuse us of mill
tarism. Aguinaldo represents mill
tary oligarchy over the Tagals only-a
paper government covering only the
territory occupied by is marauders.
He is triple traitor, worse man
than Judas Iscariot. Because we have
not recognized this man, they accuse
us of Imperialism, militarism and
fostering standing army in the coun-
try. Bryan's proposition that we es-
tablish a stable government in the
Philippines is a reflection on Aguin-
aldo's government. Permit them to
dance an Aguninaldo jig to a Philip
pine can can. If it is not right to
govern without the consent of the gov
erned, what right have we to estab-
lish stable government there, as he
proposesi Bryan's plan of protec-
torate is unwarranted by the constitu-
ton and savors more of Imperialism
and militarism than any other policy
could. 1t would be dangerous and
risky. A double protectorate would
have to be established, to protect the
Filipinos from themselves and from
foreigners. The United States would

The announcement that Senator Mel
son would address the people of Man
kato on the political issues of the day
filled the opera house to overfowing
Saturday night. In fact, every seat
was taken long before the time for
opening had arrived and the aisles and
lobby in the rear were filled with peo-
pie who were willing to stand up in
order to hear clear logic and by one
whose official position has given him
unusual opportunities to gain an &C
curate knowledge of public affairs.
The audience was a most enthusiast
tic one and frequently interrupted the
senator with prolonged applause and
cheering. 1t was plain to be see that
the listeners were in complete accord
with the speaker, whose mastery ad-
dress was one of the best ever given
in Mankato during political cam
paign. MIR. Nelson had fortified him
self with facts and quoted from docu-
ments that cannot be- questioned He
planted Chinese wall of argument
around every point that he made, and
his position was unassailable.
Mr. Nelson is pleasing speaker,
and although making no pretense to
the spread eagle style of oratory, he
is very effective on the platform.
Every one of the 1900 people in the
main body of the theatre and the 200
on the stage gave the closest attention
and was able to follow the argument
so well that the telling points did not
fall on unappreciating ears, but were
applauded to the echo.
Gen. J. r. Baker presided over
the great gathering of Republican
hosts. The g. A. R. band and the
st. Peter Glee club furnished excellent
music. The Glee clubs campaign songs
were encored and were feature of
the occasion. The young men were
clothed in rough rider uniforms, and
the local rough riders were out in uni
form.
Gen. Bakers Eloquent Remarks.
Gen. Baker showed that he had not
lost any of the fire and enthusiasm of
youth by a brief but pointed address
which he gave in introducing Sena-
tor Nelson He referred to the magnif-
icent audience present, and said it
gave promise of different result in
this county than occurred two years
ago, when Lind had 40 plurality and
the balance of the Republican ticket
$50 plurality. There has been much
misapprehension as to Lind s real posi-
ton on public questions. Four years
ago he was silver Republican, two
years ago he said that he was a poll
teal orphan, but now he announces
himself as Democrat of Democrats.
The other day little drama occurred
in Mankato, the like of which has
never been seen on this stage. Bryan

full fellowship and communion with

Republican Party VS.. Trusts.
The Democrats are pressing the is
sue of trusts, and propose to show
how sham and hollow, how insincere
this Democratic pretense is. We have
been living during period when a
great industrial revolution has been
taking place Machinery has taken the
place of hand toll and factories have
succeeded individual effort Articles
formerly made by village blacksmith,
cobbler, ETC., are now turned out in
large factories where many people are
employed. AS a rule, combinations of
capital are not detriment but a
blessing, but there are combinations
of capital that are dangerous and
threatening, and the great mass of us
are agreed that we ought to have the
power to suppress such trusts and
monopolies.
We live under a dual system of gov
eminent, state and federal, which is
different from that of any other coun-
try. The federal government is of linn
tied power, and the bulk of all legisla-
tive power, especially police power,
lies wholly with the states and not
with the federal government. In
1887, the Republican senate and Demo-
cratic house passed the interstate com
merce law, which had an anti trust
paragraph, limited to transportation.
The Democratic tariff law of 1894
contained provision against impor-
tiers combinations regarding the inn
portation of tea. This was the only
attempt at legislation against the
trusts by Democratic administration.
During Harr ison's administration
the Sherman law prohibiting
trusts and monopolies between the
states was passed, and many actions
have been brought under this law.

court, which has decided the law to
