coming election, declared that the Ameri-
cans are called upon to do a great duty
In protecting their rights. He said in
part:
MY friends, If we vote for Mckinley
we not only approve of the wrong-doing
in the Philippine Islands, but also the
disgraceful treatment he has accorded
the struggling Dutch republics. We have
promised In the Declaration of Indcpend-
ence to further the cause of freedom,
while Mckinley openly declared that it Is
his plain and bOunden duty to continue
his mercileSs massacre of the FilipinoS.
Shall we forget the Declaration of In
dependence and the constitution and vote
for Mckinley in his policy of trampling
on the inalienable rights OF man? Shall
we vote for the trusts and their abettors?
Why, there is not man who denies that
he pays tribute to the trusts every time
he purchases food or clothing, and yet
Mark Hanna rises calmly up and says
there are no trusts. 1 tell you my friends,
and you know it to be true, that there are
trusts, and that If Mckinley is elected
will be twice as many as there are now,
and that the American laboring man
must pay twice what he has to pay 10
the trusts a present.
Now, these great moneyed combina-
lions have been after Lind, and have
been for two years; they have followed
every step that he has taken, and have
weighed every act that he has taken
and now, after all their prepare tons. the
only argument that they can rightfuliy
urge against him is that he put Repub-
lican office holders out of office. Those
republicans had held those offices for
years, and Lind only did what he was
elected to do. The people of Minnesota
are about to indorse every action he has
taken ken since, he took the governors chair
In 1898, and he will be reelected by q
majority 10000 greater than he received
from the voters of the state in 1885,
IN speaking Of the present nominee on
the Democratic ticket he declared that
It was the best ever nominated, and that
1t had been put forth by the people and
represented them. Thomas R. Kane, he

that office
He then dwelt upon the lifelong record
OF Peter van HoVen as a wide open
liberal business man, and the fact that
those that know him best like and re-
sPect him most, while the reverse is true
Of Justus. He particularly asked that
the voters remember the foot Of the Dem
ccratic ticket, and that while the office
was small 1t was also important.
James X. Hickey made q strong speech
He said that he had always, as was
proven by his record, supported the cause
OF the people and the 1aboring man, and
that he would as surely continue to do So
If he was elected He said that the COM
mon people were in the majority and were
free and disposed to vote for their own
interests, and that he was confident Of
the result.
Judge Ford, candidate for probate
Judge, declared that the issue of the cam
pa1gn was between a free government
people, or Of the trusts, by the trusts and
for the trusts. The remark brought forth
rounds OF applause and great enthus-
He said in part:
I tell you the people of the state I'M
uerstand what are their interests, and
they will not allow the trusts and COM
blnatlons to defeat Honest John LIND.
VINO has always been their enemy and
always will be. Look at the great task
