AUSTIN, Mimi, Oct. 24.-This has been
an eventful day for Gov. Lind and L.
L. Brown, of Winona, on their tour
through the hot bed of Republicanism in
Southern Minnesota. They delivered
three speeches each during the day, and
faced good audiences uoon each occasion,
Their first meeting was held at the HIT
tie village of Glendive in the morning
and in the afternoon they spoke at Hay
ward, concluding the busy day at Aus
tin, where the spacious armory building
was literally packed. The audience was
an ideal one, both in point of size and as
TO the attention given. Since his in
Vasion of the enemy's stronghold, Gov.
Lind, has met with most encourag ging
prospects all along the line.
His reception is most remarkable in
consideration of the overwhelming ma
1orities heretofore cast for the Republic-
an ticket this district. 1t Is generally
conceded by conservative men that he
is adding each day to his political
strength. 1t is likewise evident that Mr..
Brown, for congress, is making big In
roads on Tawney's vote.

from Glenville to Hayward. Seeing their
carriage approaching a ceW of rhreshers
off in the field, wishing to see the dis
unguished executive of Minnesota, and

gan to cheer and wave their hands.
Whereupon, the governor and Mr.. Brown
were driven over and met most cordially
by the entire crew.

The audiences at both Glenville and
hayward, were comAesed almost entirely

as compared with the size of communi-
ties. The results of both gatherings were
most favorable to Gov. Lind. Mr.. Brown
