GREAT DAY FOR cRooKsToN.
The presence of the presidential can,
didate in Crookston yesterday, called
| forth an event SURPRISING anything of
the kind ever known in that little CITY OF
5000 people. 1t was a day such as Crook
ston will not witness again for MANY
campaigns. The whole city was dedicat-
ed to the occasion, and If there were any
obstacles that could have interfered with
the success of the day they failed to
materialize. From the time of Gov
Lind's arrival at o'clock in theE morn
Ing, untilthe departure of himself, Mr..
Bryan and the entire party at 10 in the
evening, a general pandemonium of Dem

relunctant admission upon the dWindline
