The Saint Paul globe., 1902-10-21

neapolis last night, where he inaugu-
rated the last trip of his general tour
of the state outside the Twin Cities,
which will end at Little Falls. next
Monday night.
Mr. Rosing spoke to 5000 voters at
Germania hall in the First ward, at
Normannia hall in the Sixth, in the
tent pitched at Aldrich street and Sixth
avenue north in the Third ward and
the Swedish Episcopal fair at Dania
hall, Cedar street and Fifth avenue.
Everywhere the leader of the Min
nesota Democrats was received with
the most marked enthusiasm and his
tour of the city pressed into two and
half brief hours was admitted by old
politicians to be one of the most re-
markable political visits ever made to
Minneapolis. Mr.. Rosing was escorted
by Chairman Elijah Barton, E. w.
Murphy, J. A. Hagman and his brother,
o. G. Rosing.
The evenings tour opened in the
First ward at Germania hall, Main
street and Eleventh avenue north,
where 500 enthusiastic citizens cheered
themselves hoarse for Rosing and both
the state and local tickets.
Mr. Rosing was introduced by j. G.
Melchow, one of the veterans of the
First ward Democracy. The standard
bearer of Minnesota'S Democracy was
given a deafening greeting when he
entered the hall, and when, after Mr..
Melchow's brief Introductory speech,
he arose to speak the reception accord
ed him made the welkin ring.
Enthusiasm Is High.
Enthusiasm in the reliable Demo-
cratic First ward is at high tide, and
the hearts of the voters are with their
candidates, not only state, but con-
gresSional, legislative and local. Mr..
Rosing's every reference to the Min
neapolitans evoked rounds of cheers
which left little room for doubt about
the solidity of the Democracy of the
First ward.
In the First ward Mr.. Rosing paid
more attention to the discussion of the
differences of the Democratic and Re
publican parties on national questions
than in the other wards. His dissec-
ton of the conditions surrounding the
laboring classes of America, and par
ticularly the working men of Minne-
apolis and Minnesota, received the
closest attention, and his explanation
of those conditions. brought about
largely through the influence Of the
high protective system, were applaud
ed to the echo. Mr.. Rosing showed
concIusively and logically how the pro-
ducing classes of the West and North
west are Disseminated against in fa-
vor of Eastern trusts and giant con-
Germs enjoying monopolies of necesSf-
ties of life and commerce.
He pointed out in his graphic man
ner that while the cost of production
has been greatly reduced, selling prices
! have quite as steadily risen, and the
enormous differences have gone into
the Golfers Of tariff protected monopo-
lists and not into the homes Of the Ia
borer or the farmer.
The major portion of his stirring ad-
dress was, however, devoted to the
discussion of state issues and the leg
| islatiVe and governmental policies OF
| the present administration.
Following Mr.. Rosing, Senator John
| MCGOWAN, candidate for reelection in
| the Thirty eighth district; Michael
| Gerber, candidate for alderman, and
| Prof II. J. Cation made short addresses
Senator MCGOWAN was given a rous-
| ing reception, as was Mr.. Gerber, and
| their election by handsome majorities
| is generally conceded.
Thousands Greet Him.
| Two thousand voters greeted Mr.
| Rosing at Normanna hall, in the Sixth
ward, with rounds OF cheers that were
| stilled with difficulty. At the entrance
| to the hall Mr.. Rosing's carriage was
| recognized by the crowds in the streets
| and three times three cheers greeted
| him as he alighted. When he entered
| the crowded hall the big audience
| stood up and cheered again and again
| The pealS of applause were continued
| until Mr.. Rosing. and his party forced a
| way through the crowded aisles to the
| stage. It. A. Quist, candidate for the
| senate, was addressing the meeting
| when Mr.. Rosing arrived. He retired
| proposing three cheers and tiger for
| the next governor. The big audience
| sprang to it's feet and scores of men
| mounted chairs.
| Handkerchiefs waved, hats were
! thrown in the air and the three cheers
and tiger were prolonged to five
times three, and Mr.. Rosing was oblig-
ed repeatedly to signal for quiet be-
| fore he could proceed with his address
| which the committee limited to fifteen
| minutes.
Olof Gilstrom presided over the big
meeting, and short addresses were
made by c. A. Quist, w. w. Williams
candidate for county auditor; Mat
thew Walsh, candidate for county
commissioner; former Mayor James
| Gray and Harry A. Lund.
Sixth ward, strictly to a discussion OF
state conditions and state policies. His
address was full of fire, concise, logica
| and remarkably comprehensive for the
time consumed. The record of the
| Van SAINT administration was held up
and some of it's many weak points
| mercilessly stripped of their disguises
Mr.. Rosing gave fully half of his
time to an exposition of the railroad
! Of "a 1afi inn
and the one false issue of the Repub-
| lican party, the so-called merger
| issue.
No man in that big audience left
| believing that the standard bearer o1
| Democracy is afraid to discuss the
| railroad question or to make pledges
of state policy. His pledges were as
has faced, clear, definite and promises
that rang true. He left the Sixth
ward amid a tumult of applause
! which left the big crowd fairly ex-
| hauSted.
Women Hear Him.
The Swedish Episcopal church fail
was third on the evenings tour. II
was an audience composed largely o1
ladies, but the reception given the
champion of the rights of the common
people was as enthusiastic as either
of the other three, and plainly evi-
| denced the hold Mr.. Rosing has or
the esteem of all the people.
His speech was necessarily brief
and he made it entirely free from par.
tisan politics, devoting his five min
utes to brief outline of the larger
policies of government, and the rela-
ton Of church government and church
| work to good state and national gov.
ernment, and the part that good
women play in shaping the destinies
| of nations.
In the Sixth ward 1000 voters waited
in the big tent for more than two
