TALLY-HO EXPERIENCES
The Governors Party Wins the Favor
of the People. Sal0Onkecp.
erS Jailed.

Since our last issue the Governor
Party, touring the state in Tally-Ho
drawn by white Four-in-Hand, has
visited Rice, Dakota, Goodhue, Dodge,
Olmsted, Fillmore, Houston and Free
born counties. They are now West
ward-bound and by the close OF the
month will have reached the South
Dakota line. Oliver w. Stewart is
now a member of the Tally-HO Party
and will so remain until the close OF
the campaign. D. A. Tucker candidate
for Congress in the Second District
is also accompanying the Party while
in his district.
The extensive hearing hoped for is
being secured and the tour is enliven-
ed with many noteworthy Incidents.
A member of the party writes from
Preston, for instance:

Rushford and Harmony. or course we

street meetings, and are possibly DONG
as much good that way as in the larger
or seemingly larger meetings in the even.
ing The audiences seem larger and OF
course are larger because OF the presence
of the ladies, while the actual number OF
voters may not be much larger than in
some of our street gatherings. At Rush,

much the same thought and it is not toe
much to say that the meeting created
quite a sensation.
The Kasson meeting, too, will be
remembered. Mr.. Woertendyke, in
his six o'clock address, declared that
saloonists are ostracised by the
church, by secret societies and by In
surance companies. At the close g
saloonkeeper challenged the truth Of
the statement in loud and profane Ian
guage, clinching his argument with
"for l am a church member and sa
loonkeeper."
The saloon force was at least doub
led at the evening meeting. One sa
loonkeeper interrupted Mr.. Dorset
several times. Things getting hotter
the city marshal demanded order and
the two saloonkeepers continuing the1l
disturbance, marched both to jail ami(
