The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-04

The leader on whom the Democracy
of Minnesota has pinned its faith,
Leonard A. Rosing, was rendered mag
nificent receptions last night by the
voters of the Fourth and Eighth wards.
The common people and the CONNER
cial interests of st. Paul, the artisans
and the merchants are with Mr.. Ros-
ing and the Democratic ticket, state
and county. The greetings extended
Mr.. Rosing and his escort of county
candidates were no less warm, no less
genuine than the splendid receptions
rendered him Thursday night by the
citizens of the First and Fifth wards.
Mr.. Rosing spoke at Jaroszs hall, In
the Eighth ward and at the Metropoli-
tan hall, the Fourth ward headquar-
tiers, Eighth and Wabasha streets. Both
meetings were record breakers for their
respective wards. Two big crowds turn
ed out to welcome the Democratic can
didate for governor. His stirring
speeches were punctured with salvos of
ringing cheers and every mention OF
his name by other speakers was the
signal for an outburst of enthusiastic
applause.
Ovation in Eighth.
The party standardbearer spoke
first in the Eighth ward. There was a
slight delay in leaving the hotel, and
Mr.. ROSingS party arrived at JaroSz'
hall a few minutes behind the sched-
uled time to find the familiar political
meeting place filled with an expect
antly enthusiastic audience. Mr.. Ros-
Ing entered the hall on the arm of M.
r. Kahn, candidate for county auditor,
and closely followed by Hon. T. d.
O'Brien, candidate fer the district
bench.
The appearance of Mr.. Rosing and
his party at the door was the signal
that loosened the pent-up enthusiasm
of the Eighth warders. They cheered
until the well1in rang. The tumult of
applause was continued until the great
organizer, the idol of every Minnesota
Democrat, reached the stage, and, aft
er repeatedly bowling his acknowledge
ments, signaled for quiet. The meet
ing was unusual in that stronghold of
enthusiastic Democracy where the
voters are, as q rule, content to give
their loyal support to the party of
their choice rather than exhibit their
sentiments at meetings.
People Are Aroused.
The voters of the Eighth ward, in
common with the voters of the state,
are alarmed ana aroused. Iney not
only wished to listen to the doctrine
expounded by Mr.. Rosing and listen
to his methods of solving the onerous
questions so forcibly brought home to
the producing class, but they wished
to assure him by their presence and
by their personal pledges that they are
with him and with the Democracy of
the state in the battle for the rights Of
all the people, rich and poor, and
against g. system which provides spe-
cial privileges for the few.
George Mitsch, chairman of the ward
organization, presided and before the
arrival of the gubernatorial party
short speeches were made by County
Treasurer Peter ]. Metzdorf, Repre-
sentative William Butler, Joseph ia
CODY, candidate for the house; County
Surveyor Irvine, and Coroner Arthur
w. Miller. Following Mr.. Rosing, Mr..
O'Brien and M. +. Kahn made short
speeches, and were both given hearty
receptions and enthusiastic assur-
Rnces of support.
All Glasses Represented.
The Fourth ward meeting was more
than a duplicate of the Eighth ward
demonstration. Contrary to all eXpec-
tations and contrary to all precedent
for date so early in the campaign, the
big remodeled hall was comfortably
filed. Like at the Eighth ward, it was
an audience of voters; earnest, think
Ing men and not by any means all of
