'r7" ^L-W- -'S* '^Although ..the elements conspired ag-ainstirthe success of tho Morris meet ing there' were between 150 to 200 peo pie present, to hear our congressman ^peak/' ^he storm was a great disap pointment to people living in the country fbr in all the adjoining towns drrangeirisnts had been made to bring large parties, but the darkness and rain was too much for the projectors a*d only those who had come to town with the intention of remaining over rtightf were able to b9 present. Considering the torrents which drenched everyone who set a foot out side Monday evening the meeting was ksuccess andhadthe Globe sent a re-: porter who was entirely -blind, politK cally^he would not have been rash enough to^jall' the meeting a "frost.'7 .Chairman Briggs opened the meet ing with a few appropriate remarks and introduced Congressman Morris. Mr. Morris' appearance, was a signal for applause and he caught the audi ence from the start. He said it was not necessary for a platform speaker to* deliver along address in this cam paign. Men had memories and it was only necessary for a speaker to brighten them up a little to ensure Republican' success at the polls. This year |he calamity-howlers were silent. In 18^6 there were thousands of men with ^nothing to do standing on the street corners talking politics and ad vancing rtemedies for the evils of the times*. Populist speakers travelled over the district with Dun's and Brad streeit's reports under one arm and "Coins Financial School" under the o$hei*. They would read from the re ports that so many mills, shops and factories had been closed, so many banks'and firms had failed and so many men had-been, thrown^ Qul^pf em? plo^Bnt.'^ Tire reports were ai&rmingf ^o^^eat iy so becalise they were-true. Tbeifi ifbey, would offer-the arguments of Cpin HaWey as a cure-ail. The Re* publicans fought hard to .maintain the financial system of the country as ittary wastyhen and won a remarkable vic tory, A president was elected and a bouse and senate to support him and almost immediately there was a no ticeable improvement. There was noballot time lost by the administration. The day following his inauguration Presi- dentMcKinley called a special session of congress to enact a revenue meas ure. This congress met March 15 and March 31 the house had passed the bill. The silverites in the senate had blocked every move so far as they were able by long debates and innumerable parliamentary tangles but the measure finally passed and went to the presi dent, though not until the last of July. It was not until this bill reached the senate that the people of this district discovered exactly how false a friend they had in Charles A. Towne. No industry in the \district furnishes em ployment to so many men as lumber ing, but when a $2 schedule was pro posed Mr. Towne appeared among the lobbyists against the -bill, although a professed protectionist, and labored to put lumber on the free list. The lobby failed and the protection afforded lum ber was immediately felt in laboring communities. Mills, idle for months befoi'e, started their saws. Men who had not worked.for months were busy and wages were raised from $10 and $18 per month to $22 and $40 for labor ers in the woods.- Mr. Towne in a re cent speech at West Dulu,th had at tempted to justify his position, when charged with being employed as a lob byist by the Canadian lumbermen.being He acknowledged that his services had been purchased, but claimed that ift was his privilege as an attorney ,t ac cept such money. His influence whijsh the lumbermen purchased had been givon him by_' the votes of. the men whom he soughtftd injure and his ai was one resembling treachery. Judge Morris pledged his word to the audi ence that if ever alike opportunity af fered^tself to him he would Wt^em brace'it. He'did^not consider himself the biggest man* in the districthe was an hone^i^an who was. willing to work hard foi'ftie mterests/pf.his dis-. trict. No such-, dirty -jmoney' would ever foul his handv$1$ '^w In 1896 there were thdu|andak)f "nun-, gfy women and children ":in {pis dis trict because the bread-winners of .the family were out of emplyymettt/ Man ufacturers coujd' not run their mills "and factories because tTiejr cduhT Boi -r- :,y}t: & sell their products. Farmers produce found a small market-because the con sumers of other days had no money to buy. Now all is/changed. Men are busy. Instead of labor seeking employ ment employment" seeks labor. There is now no enforced idleness and prices of mill products, labor and farm products have all advanced. One-had only to make this comparison to know how to vote. Every prediction of the Republicans had come true and every promise made good-' Every predic tion of the silverites had proved,un true. There was the difference. The opposition instead of correcting the ev ils of their tariff had offered a change in the currency and other experiments, hut the Republicans remedied the evil with no delay. Therefore Judge Mor ris urged that the administration which had benefited this nation by its wise laws be kept in power at least h til the labors it had begun wfere fin ished and the problems which had pre sented themselves' had been solved. The audience was in full sympathy with the speaker and frequently inter rupted him with its applause.. It was noticeable that several men who were staunch supporters of Mr. Towne two years ago were, in the audience and theirs was not a passive presence either. Mr. Morris will find that when "the little tail of the silver snake quits wriggling" on the evening of Nov. 8 Mille Lacs county has given him an increased majority. THEY ARE NAMED. The Nominees on .the Demo-Pop Legisla tive Ticket Were Selected Thursday. The Democratic legislative conven tion was held in Elk River last Thurs day. After the preliminaries had been passed Mr. C. H. Chadbourne, of Mille lacs was chosen chairman, and J. C. Smith, of Isanti, was selected for secretary. 1 A conference committee was then appointed to treat with the Populists, and Mr. Irvin reported for the com mittee that its choice for senator was John Coleman. The Populists from" Isanti and Anoka were admitted to the convention. -Mr.-Irwin mpved and the motion carried, that Anoka county he granted thf senator. Mr.'Hewey '?nWinated'' John Cole.- man, of Anoka, for senator and the nomination, having Been,seconded by a delegate fromach- county, the secre was directed to cast the ballot of the convention for him* v,- Mr. Wahlund nominated P., ","M\ Peterson, of Isanti county for repre sentative, and the secretary cast the of the convention for Mr. Peter son. It was decided to pass the nomina tions for representatives from Sher burne and Mille Lacs counties. OBITUARY. Mai'y Brewster McClure, born Dec 23, 1810, died Oct. 12, 1898. She was the wife of Rev. A. W. McClure, arid "a very efficient help to him in a number of prominent pastorates which he held. He was for some time officially con nected with our American board, and founded the American chapel in Paris Mrs. McClure lived not only a long, but likewise a busy life. Greatly in terested in the freedmen, she wainnocently particularly active in organizing tem perance and missionary societies in connection with church work. To her belongs the honor of having.organized the second woman's missionary society known. This was at Maiden, Mass. "A few years ago she "made her home with us, regularly attending the Con gregational church.Tj. Her sweet face, and gentle spirit made for her a great many warm friends, and her public prayers, and exhortations were the de^ light of all who heard them. She leaves two sons and two daughters.

This society has taken dependent children from this county and has also placed a number in good homes. It is non-sectarian and receives all needy little ones committed to its care.

It was reported that the charge of selling liquor to Indians preferred against Mrs. W. A. Conselyea, of Mille Lacs county was not sustained when the United States grand jury probed it. The woman was held to the grand jury and was brought here .from Vineland, situated in. the county named, and placed in jail to await the action of the grand jury. She is the wife of W. A. Conselyea, who- is with an Illinois regiment in Florida, and when Judge Gearhart heard of the case ^e promptly set to work to have bonds -provided for her so that she might npt ,be required to stay in jail while await ing the action of the grand jury.

There is a young man, not a resident of this State, staying in this village, who is proud of his powers as a de bater. His only qualifications are a wagging tongue and an unlimited sup-'" ply of gall of a deep green variety. The other night he ran his mouth on tariff and finance' until everyone was disgusted and ended by insulting an honored guest of the village. He was finally squelched and conversation ran in more agreeable ruts for a few' minutes. During this time a listener asked who was the repre-v sentative "Of congress from the ,fresh young man's district..
