sophomore Beveridge hesitates about
venturing into the G. o. P. frost OF
Minnesota. and wisely so. The repub-
licans scarcely dare undertake an expo
sition meeting, and may continc them
selves entirely to the ban-quit.
And, by the way, a very poor Bever-

The tremendous pro-Bocr meeting

Hanaa's call for cash has been made,
and curously enough he declared that
it is for the purpose OF sending men
'out West to open debating schools

We Judge from letter from Captain
O Farrell that Minneapolis antrim
perialist meeting had a revival in Wash
ington's. A dramatic incident was the
solemn declaration OF the venerable cx-
Governor Boutwell, OF Massachusetts,
that as he had helped the Mckinley adj
ministration into power, So by the help
OF God, would he do all in his power to
drive it out OF power. An incident
"ccnsorcd,' Captain OF ARIEL says
was that ex-senator J. B. Henderson
an old time republican, declared that
he prayed God to strengthen the right
arm OF Aguina1do and his brave men,
so that they might achieve indepcnd-
cncc, and shouted the challenge, '1i
this is treason, challenge a trial.
The entire audience rose to its feet
cheering and shouting Captain
O'Farrell writes. and yelled themselves
hoarsc with shouts OF Down with Nc
kinley and the traitors to the Declara
ton OF Independence!

doctrines of the fathers, and of the
Bill Of Human Rights, will De found
