As Lies Sprung Yesterday Were
Shown Up, the Audiences Went
Wild With Enthusiasm-GOv-
ernOr in Great Form.

Addressing seven exceptionally large
and enthusiastic audiences last night IN
Minneapolis, Gov. Lind closed his cam
paign for 1900. AS a clean, vigorous and
effective campaign it claims a place in
the forefront of Minnesota politics ana
will be memorable regardless Of res dts
at the polls in future annals Of state
affairs. From the beginning of this
busy season of canVassing the governor
has experienced one continuous ovation,
such as no other candidate in the state,
whether local or foreign, has known. Th.s
governor has confined his campaign al
most entirely to state issues and has
been logical, clean and convincing in all
his speeches and none have apparal tly
been more warmly and satisfactorily re-
received than those which he delivered
to the citizens in various parts Of the
Mill City last night.
Gov. Lind spoke first at Dania hail. IL
the Sixth ward, last night. Here he met
a most cordial audience, the overwhel n
ing majority of which were voters md
the hall was packed to its limit. He
spoke for about fifteen minutes, pro
Ceeding to another Sixth ward head
quarters on West Lake street, where tho
ovation was continued and wA>ce he
again talked briefly to an interested and
appreciative audience At the several
places over the city, Mayor Tray, Sen
ator Stockwell, Judge Arctander, Prof.
I. j. Cation, j. Q. Hams, Harry \. Iund
and other prominent Democrats Occu-
pied part of the time, some preceding the
governor, speaking before his arrival and
others talking after he had finished and
left for the next place. All the speakers
were most enthusia stically ;eceived and
the demonstrations att ending the gov
ernOr's speeches were such as have rot
been seen in Minneapolis at similar gath
erings during the campaign. People
seemed more eager than ever to hear the
voice of Honest John Lin1,'' which Cor
the last time before his re election was
to be lifted in their midst.
WAS IN GOOD FORM.
Although talking almost constantly for
the past three weeks and many times I'M
der the most adverse circumstances, the
governor was in splendid voice, and ac-
tually electrified his audiences One of
the best meetings of the final night was
that held in the Democratic headquarters
in the Eighth ward J. c. Hams was
speaking when Gov Lind entered the
hall. His words were dIawneI in app ause
for the governor, and he yielded the plat
form to Mayor Gray, who preceded Gov.
Lind in very excellent speech. The
mayor told his audience that Gov. Jonn
Lind had protected the interests of the
people of Minnesota better and more
CdItIuiiy ludH any OLner governor 1t mad
ever possessed. He asked them why.
when they had such an executive as the
one who now occupied that exalted 20
sition, one in whom no one, not even his
b1ttereSt opponent, could honestly point
TO a single dishonest transaction, they
would not vote to retain him. He said
that when Minnesota has a COVE WOr who
would confer the tremendous favor upon
1t of retaining and recovering SO. 600 acres
of valuable lands for their schools, such
as Gov. Lind has done, its people ought
and will vote to Keep that governor IN
power. When the people reflect upon
this endowment that has come to them
through the administration of Gov Lind,
Mayor Gray said that two questions pre-
scented themselves. The one is why
should not any man vote for Gov. Lind.
and the other, what were Gov Lind's
predecessors doing all the years thew
were in office that they did not regain
this vast and rich territory.
SUPREMACY OF LAW.
In his remarks Gov. Lind stated that
since he had been governor he had not
known class, creed nor party in the per-
Torrance of his official duty, but had
only recognized the people of Minnesota.
and If he is reelected he would adhere
to that same policy and no other. He
declared that his first and foremost prin-
ciple had been, and would continue to be,
If reelected, supremacy of law. This
state shall be governed by law and not
by class, caprice or greed. He said that
