Gentle men, I take great pleasure In introducing to you this evening, Hon. •">. W. Lawler. ADDRESS "BY MR. "LAWLER. Mr. Lawler's name was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers, and it was some seconds before he made any attempt to speak. Mr. Lawler said: 11 was an appropriate feature. to com mence the proceedings of the ' evening with the stirring melody of,»th£ national anthem. A meeting called under these auspices could have no more appropriate commencement. You have come here to night to listen to one speaker born in the Southern clime; on the other side of Mason and Dixon's Jqie.,. reared in th« principles of the Democratic party, and you have come to listen to another, the presiding chairman of this convention, also a Democrat of Democrats. Jn the days of the sixties the seitle.men to whom I refer were of different convic tions, but the one from Illinois and tne one from. Wisconsin each had the courage and manhood to put a musket upun his shoulder and to test the sincerity of his conviction at the risk and the' apparent sacrifice of his life. They were true to their convictions then. They arc true to their convictions tonight, when, before this audience, representing the con science, the political morality of Ram sey county, they arise to their feet and salute a common flag and a common country. The American people love sin cerity and straightforwardness in poll cal matters. They have little respect for the political party or for tHat set of po litical leaders who, in the hot stress of a national canvass, skulk in their tents, or attempt to-act the part at a trimmer and dodger, and we, who were born in the Democratic party, who learned its •principles and drew inspiration from the minds of the great leaders of the North western Democracy, we are here tonight, on the very eve of a memorable ttlrn paigh, to testify before our nelgiibfcra arri. our friends who love us,, and whom we love, that We are still true to the princi ples of Jefferson, of Tilden and of Cleve land. PREVIOUS DEMOCRATIC HTSTORY. It is not necessary to recount to this audience the "Msfory of the Democratic party of the No*tiiwest. The brightest pages in the hirfttTTy of the his tory of the American republic are those which record the history of that great political organization fram JSGO to 1896. From the m«sn who, in' the days of the sixties had the manhood and the honesty to-Vote for Stephen A.. Douglas and bring about the election of Abraham L.incolon, down to the men who, vi 1893, had the modesty and the Democracy to vote for John M. Palmer and bring about the election of William McKinley. No need to recotrnf the old flays in Wisconsin and Illinois when men like your chair man, representing the brain an* brawn of those two great commonwealths, men like the Sibleys, like Flandrau, like Ed mund Rice, and like Robert A. Smith, led it. Against such men and against their records, put the men who are today in control of the machine in- Minnesota, and of the states, we are not afraid of a comparison. — ■ We remember the days when in a fight for what our Democratic predecessors believed to be the cardinal principles ef Democracy and patriotism, we were in a hopeless minority, year after year, in presidential campaign af-teT presiden tial campaign, every four years, they came to their • convictions and, imbued with a principle of manly morality, put their best men in the place of leadership. They had leaders like Douglas, Horatio Seymour, George MedeHand and Tilden, and In 1884 and 1892 they put in the ex ecutive chair at Washington the greatest Democrat who filled it since the day of Andrew Jackson. - In 1896, more than a million of the Dem ocratic party voted for the candidate whom the real Democracy had nominated in opposition to the so-called regular can didate. The Democrats of the old school were opposed to free silver, not only be cause it was repudiation, not merely be cause it was an attempt on the part of the government of the United States to pay 100 cents with a 50-cent dollar; not merely because it would cut in two the savings of the laborer;-not merely be cause it would put us on a level with Mexico and China, but because the Dem ocratic party of the old school saw that ehe principle of free silver was the prin ciple of Populism, to which the Demo cratic party was always opposed. SITUATION HAS NOT CHANGED. Has the situation changed? Have the men who obtained control of that organi zation four ye^rs ago. and who still main tain it, have they abated a jot of that platform of political heresies, which the real Democrats or this land spurned four years ago? Have these men ' recanted their errors? The leader of the 'regular' Democratic party demanded a distinct and definite indorsement for the purpose of pleasing his Populist allies of 1896 Many of the Democrats who were on posed to that leader four years ago are with him. They say that although he means to do harm, they say that he will Hereford's Aeld Phosphate Imparts Energy. When vitality and nerve force have become impaired by illness its value is wonderful.

He won't be able to hurt the financial sys tem of this country because, if elected, he will bo prevented from doing damage because the senate will have a Republican majority. I say to these dis tinguished men, I have no right to Ques tion their motives; I have no right to Fay that some of them have purposely made the mistake that Daniel Webster macie and other great men have made. But ! have a right to say that while I admire the ingenuity of their explanation I have very little respect for the ability or the intelligence of the man who tries to make me believe in it. My fellow Demo crats, we were right in 189 G. we are right in 1900, and will vote in 1900 against the same heresies, and will strangle them to the death, if God will permit us to do so, in this year, as we did four years ago. AS TO PETTIGREW AND TOWN IS. I. for one. am unable to admit that Pet tigrew or Towne can teach me the prin ciples of Democracy any more than they can teach me the doctrines of patriotism, he only allay, the only active, able and seditious ally that has been gathered into the folds of the regular Democracy since 1896, is the agile and elusive Aguinaldo. I. for one. am willing to permit these gen tlemen to make their allies. . They talk to us about imperialism. Is there a regular Democrat in this audience PHIL JUSTUS AND THE TINNERS' UNION. A Committee of the Craft Tell What They Know About the Phil Justus, Republican candidate for sheriff, was given every opportunity to prove before the election that he sup ported organized labor. He did not do so, and today it is tp to the voters of the county to show Phil Justus what's what and who is who. L. J. Rusk says that Justus signed tne tinners' scale a month ago. He is the only man in St. Paul that knows any thing about it. Members of the Tinners' union have not head anything of the matter, and they are entitled to tnow — have a right to know. Last spring F. M. Conners and Adolnhe Gobiael were appointed as a committee to wait upon all the tin bhops in the city and see that they took steps to be union ized. Justus said, he would employ just whom he pleased—union or non-union. ; who can define ■ the -:term% What is the awful-: eviL that is to s be. inflicted upon this country by William - McKinley. and Theodore Roosevelt. We . know these ; men. The breath;of: political or personal ! slander has never been '-breathed aeainst the fair 'name reputation-of either of . them. We know them as good citizens,, as good heads -of families, .as devoted husbands, as srood fathers, they have at tempted to train>their children teach them the way to go, the same way tliat you and I have done and are doing. They have risked their lives in. defense ot the country and flag. and. I sray. it is an insult to the intelligence 1 of 79,000.000 of people 1 when a great political party r&t --: tempts to make my -son and your son : believe that McKinley and Roosevelt are traitors. (Applause.) This is not a meeting for the purpose of attempting to change results in Min nesota. The people of this fair state have : already made up their minds, but 1 know, that when the time will come, for the re organization and the regeneration of the old time Democracy, we will have noth ing to blush for, who have stood always for the old time principles of our party? It makes no difference whether that time will come in four years or in forty years. I would- rather wait, as our party wait ed, forty years and go to victory under the leadership of a Democrat like Grover" Cleveland than to win victory tomorrow under the , present leader of the Demo cratic party. -. ' • ; — Mr. Lawler was cheered loudly at the conclusion of his. address. Out of compliment to \V. E. Poeison, of Chicago, who is a Southerner by birth, the chairman suggested that the band play "Dixie." In spite of the cold, the old war melody aroused prolonged cheers. Mr. Poeison devoted most of his speech to the currency question, the re mainder of it being assertions of Brya.Vs Populism. He said: . GREETINGS FROM CHICAGO Mr. Chairman and citizens of St. Paul: The business men of Chicago send the business men of St. Paul greeting. Fo^r years ago the business men of Chicago formed an organization for the purpose. of influencing the election of that year. This year they have continued that as sociation for the same purpose, and we hope with the same - result. (Applause.)", That association is composed irrespect ive of party, the wealth, the talent, and the patriotism of that city. Ani as you have requested them to send a represenc atiev to speak to you on the question of this hour, I feel highly honored by beiny their choice. They have sent no im perialist on. this mission. They are no imperialists themselves. They are as true to this country as the founders of this • republic. We are Americans. . We are not imperialists and we place our Americanism as high as any in America. I have always been a Democrat; and because I take the position today that I do noes not make me less a Damocr.it. I am not a Replblican. have not joined the Republican party, but because 1 have no candidate today, I take, as an Ameri can citizen, the privilege of indorsing the candidate who stands nearest to the. position that I hold in public affairs. Party slavery is a curse. ! Were it rot for party slavery we would not be in the condition we are today. Another curse is patronage of a party. Grovor Cleve land was elected president of the United States. Mr. Altgeld, of Illinois, at the same time was elected governor of that state. Alt&eld wanted to oerpeluate him self as the leader of the Democratic oart in that state. How could he do It? Only through patronage. Mr. Altgeld went to Grover Cleveland and wanted him to give i him the patronage of that state. Mr. ; Cleveland, being an American Democrat, said no. The reason Gov. Altgreld turn- ! ed against President Cleveland. .It was not a question of silver. It was not a question of having the troops in the city of Chicago. It was simply because Gov.. Altgeld could not get the jSatronage of the state of Illinois to keep himself in power in that state. Now in 1893 the panic took place. The ; Democratic party was - not- responsible for that panic, but in the elections of 1894 they were blamed for it. and the con- I gressional elections throughout Uiq United States were against the Demo ; cratic party. In 1896 the leaders of the Democratic party.. these leaders that I have been talking to you about. Altgeld ; Daniels and THlman. and that class fearing defeat in 189t>. they did not have" the moral courage to come bfore the people on a Democratic platform, with a true Democratic candidate., They were political cowards, but In order to be sura : of. the election in ISfW. they made over tures to a party foreign to Democracy, the Populist party. The Populist party cast over 1.0C0.000 : votes in 1892.. Gen Weaver got over 1.000,0(i0 in 1392. In 1596 it was estimated that ■ the Populist vote ; in this country would be at least 1,"00,000. These leaders sent overtures to them for fusion. But the Populist leaders said no. , "we - canont • fuse ? with- you on a ; Democratic platform." Populists are not : Democrats. There is no sympathy what : ever, between Populism and Democracy. They are . entirely foreign to each ■ other. Pure Democracy. means sound money ana sound iinance. Pqpulism - means ;an . ir redeemable currency and unbound iir.an cml . system. In 189€ they made lot**' ures to the PopiiHst paity "and were; ac cepted on the condition that the:- Dc-rao cratic partyin the city of Chicago should adopt a Populist platform and - let the Populists nut a Populist candJdate on the ticket at the head of the ticket for president. Marion Butler, one of the leaders of the Populist party, said in re srard to . the. Chicago platform that the Democrats - were forced then to commit grand larceny Tanfli !steal the People's i;arty platform outright. T. as a Democrat., would prefer to vote as a Democrat, but there are times when men should be. Americans first. Demo crats afterwards. LI .shaU take the train back to Chicago tonight to vote for Wil liam McKinley and it will be the first time in my life that I have voted for a Republican candidate. If. -'■ however, the time ever cornea-, when the Democratic party goe3 back to old time Democratic principles I will once more gladly work against and vose.#.pafoist the Republican party. FIFTH WARD,,IB DEMOCRATIC. Campaign Closed With Large Meet- In« at.C. S. P. S. Hall. About 300 attended the Democratic -tal ly at C. S. P. S. hall, West Seventh street and Western avenue last evening. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, and the speakers of the evening were fre quently applauded 3u?to£ iheir remarks. Pierce Butler reviewed the entire Demo cratic ticket from top to botton and concluded by urging those present to vote the straight Democratic ticket. John L. Townley' spoke oi state issties and discussed at length Gov. land's ad ministration. Mr. -Townley sporfe of ihe governor's enforcing the law taxing railroad lands and quoted figures to back his statements. Philip Martin candidate for the legislature from the Fifth ward, made a few remarks anJ spoke in a general way of the c- tire county ticket. Frank Fo»VI, canrtHa^e for judge of probate, was next intro duced and made a few remarks along the same lines. During his remarks he incidentally remarked: "We have reached the closing hotuy of one of the most memorable campaigns ever fought in Ramsey county. The question with us now is: 'Are we to con- Whole Matter. He would not sign the prr>po*<vl scale. Some time ago a mail in Assembly hall asked: "Who is going' to be our next sheriff >" "Justus," came! i&e answer.

Connors, "that Mr. Rusk is the only person in St, Paul who knows any thing about the signing of the scale." Is it in the nature of things' that or ganized labor should help Justus out of his troubles today? tinue in the future to have such a gov ernment as we have had in the past." Dr. Stone, candidate for congrass, ma.de a few, remarks, dwelling mostly i n the evils of trusts. When the doctor had finished there were cries of Ives. and Senator John H. Ives responded with a few well directed rtmarka The meeting was full of interest and went to shov that the. Fifth ward is going to bring in a large Democratic majority today. FINALS ITi THE EIGHTH.

Not because of any fears as to ihe out come of the election today, bat because of a strong desire to turn out enmisso and show that the Democrats are alive first, last and all the time, the candidates and adherents of the party held meetings last night that in point of numbers, common sense argument and enthusiasm have not been surpassed during the cam paign. The Afro-American Fourth Warl Dem ocratic club registered its last, strong, healthy kicks against Republican admin istration in its hall at 374 Minnesota street. The principal speakers on the programme were Thomas R. Kane, Peter Van Hoven and James Hiekey. Mr. Kane spoke in part as follows: "In view of the fact that the cam paign is at an end and I have appoint ments to speak in several other parts of .'-c city I know you will admit that there is some substance in my excusa in not making any extended speech. "There is"now little tp be done In this campaign; perhaps nothing; for you have all had time to make up you;- minds how you are going to vote. It occurred to me as I stepped into this hail, now ever, what a change has come to thi.-: country the last fifty years. 1 was forced to reflect and my mind w?nt back through history to the time when tht stamp of slavery was on the brow of the colored man. Then the colored man had no chance to show his valor, his rian hood, his uprightness, except. as .v'-ance happened in the small aqffairs of U£i. "During our last war you were given a chance to show your true worth to the whole world. There waa a moment when our Stars and Stripes were in dan ger of falling in defeat and the colored soldier rushed to the rescue. Nobly the colored regiment acquitted them selves in the Spanish war. All the men on the rosters, true to their name, were soldiers, and this country owes them a debt of gratitude for services rendered. "But the colored race has at all Mines been a race oppressed. In this country at the close of the Civil war the colored man was given his freedom. Old Xha Lincoln was at the head of the party that advocated this freedom. Your fathers and your mothers' fathers loved the Re publican party, but what's in a nam ;? What was, may not always be. T'i» Republican party of today has no sem blance to the Republican party of Lin coln's time. It resembles it only in name. So remember when you colored voters cast your votes, stand for *Ji« party that advocates freedom. Freedom always; that's what we want. r-at's what you want. You, as representes of an oppressed race, ought to have 10/o for the principles of the Democratic pcr ty; great love; and I know you have. It wants freedom, justice, equality to .ill. "1 have noticed that the Republican organs of late have sought to injure the name of "Honest John Lind." They have used methods that ought to make any decent man blush, and without any war rant, without any cause. I do not care to repeat what they have printed; you have probably all seen the shameful aiv ticles, but whatever they attempt, what ever they do, the charges will sink into oblivion and the name of Honest John Lind will be remembered long after these papers have been forgotten. That is no idle dream. "John Land has made the best governor Minnesota has ever had. It is of such recent occurence you must all know what he has accomplished in the way of taxa tion on mining properties and street rail way property. Under his ever watchful eye, much property and thousands of dol lars have been saved to this state. "It cannot be possible that the execu tive of such an efficient administration should not be rewarded with a second term. The voters of this state tomorrow will elect him, and that because he has earned a second term." James Hickey, Democratic candidate for the legislature from the Fourth ward, was the next speaker. The substance of his speech was to the effect that the Philipinos were fighting for their free dom, and that the colored voters of thig country ought to have no indecision as to what party to adhere to. He closed with the statement that if a Democrat voted only part of the ticket, he ought to vote all of it, and back up the party from beginning to end, from top to bottom. Peter Van Hoven, Democratic candi date for sheriff, cut his remarks very short. He said that during the last few days his opponent had been distributing a circular in the Fourth ward asking the support of the colored voters. AT, MARTIN'S OPERA HOUSE. Another meeting was held at Martin's opera house, on the West Side. Chas. McDonald, ward chairman, presided, and in his introductory remarks said that the outlook was never better for success. Following were the speakers on the pro gramme: Moritz Heim, Humphrey Bar ton, Louis Betz. Col. J. Hawthorne, Thos. R. Kane, Pred Ford, Dr. Stone, ireter Van Hoven, Anton Miesen, Frank Baer, Anthony Yoerg, D. J. Galvin, A. J. Graves. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic held in the Sixth ward. ZOLIiMAX ACCUSES THE GLOBE. He Say* It Was Unfair to His thief, Horace BigelOTV. Several box»s of cigars and a promise that Senator Knute Nelson might ar rive at any minute kept intact a fair sized crowd until a late hour last evening at the Republican Second ward head quarters, 714 East Seventh street. That interest might not wane ami the senator arrive only to find an empty house, Assistant Attorney Zoilman and several ward speakers filled in the time, the former being the principal talker and speaking at length. Casually he touched en national ana state issues, the principal portion of his remarks being directed in an attempted eulogy of his chief's recoTd, which, he said, the Globe, in an underhanded manner, had seen fit to impugn. No Republican paper would attack a man's political record without cause. It was only Democratic papers that indulged in this kind of work. After Mr. Zollman had held the floor for considerable over an hour and many were leaving for their homes, Senator Nelson and his body guard entered the door, his appearance bringing out the only genuine demonstration of the even ing. He showed the fatigue of twp other speeches, however, and his remarks were consequently brief, being an appeal to support McKinley and Van Sant, "and to see that Republican state senators and representatives are elected." The latter appeal he was most eloquent in, as to send a Democratic senator to Washington, he said, would be a state dis grace, and besides would embarrass Mc- Kmley in his Philippine and other poli cies. Van Sant, Mr. Nelson contended, should be elected because he believes in McKin ley and the Republican party. Mr. Mc- Kinley, in hi 3 foreign policy, needs the support of Republicans, and they only should be seated. The Philippines, he contended, were a commercial necessity, and their possession by the United States would open a market for American goods, which the residents of Minnesota would benefit by and profit from. TUs concluding plea was to stand by the flag and save the honor of the country. ::::::: Field, $d)!kfi 4r co* ill The weekV attractions j For fashionable folk economically inclined Zsxe . many.

A disappointed dtctatoi; was the as tute Tains Bfxby, chief of the < 'hipp.>was, henchman of the, administration of Mark Hanna, editor of the Red Win.? Republi can, erstwhile enemy and, present friend and ruler of Van Sant, and :>oss of the Republican party jn Minn<=.y>ta, when the news of the explosion of one of the most nefarious schemes wivch the Repub licans in this state have laid during- this campaign, came thundering into his quagi-paHtical- sanctum yesterday. Half the air castles in his office were jarrea from their places where they had hung for these many days, and Tam.s and his host of lieutenants were a sorry lot throughout the day, despite their vain effort to conceal their gloom. To the vigilance of North St. Paul citi zens is due the credit of disclosing this baseless scheme and thus subjecting the arbiters of Mr. Van Sant, or captain, as the steamboat boys term him. to ;t most keen disappointment. The story runs in this wise: IT IS A VAN SANT TRICK. A certain prominent Republican in North St. Paul stopped a prominent Democat on the street the other day and began to ask him in a&xtotts tones what was the cause cf this unHi.'ndli nesg between a certain Republican and himself. The question astonished the Demecrat, who has had :io intimation heretofore that an estrangement of friendship existed, and he make? as anxious inquiries as his Republican friend does. Finally the 'Jler>ubHcan who began the conversation receives the clue to the myatery and confidentially re lates it to his Democratic friend. "Say, old boy, I've got it," he says. "So and so, of the state oent'-al com mittee, ca-me to- me tire other day and asked if I could designate a prominent Democrat in North St. Paul whom he could entrust with a llti'2 money on the consideration that ha would use his influence for the election of Van Sant. He wanted the best and most active man In the party, and I referred him to i you. Now, I understand, that after see ing me he went to my friend over here and made the same inquiries to him. He pointed out Jones aa the best man, and now I understand that Jones has re- Mm.

Twenty-flve cents a bottle. ceived $30 .from the committee and is working for Van. Of course, I heard of this and thought that you had too, and that you and my friend. Brown, had had words over the matter." This Democrat is dumbfounded to find that any of his Democratic friends would take Van Sant money and Jcaurt his own ranks, and so he determines to £0 for him in hot fashion. .So .ho goes over to Jones at tht> first opportunity and begins to upbraid him fv>f g.iing back on his party and selling om 10 th 3 other side. In the meantime the RepibHcan w-ho stirred up this affair is industriously engaged in creating other faction* along the line and finally has about half the Democrats in North St. Paul at dag gers' ends with each other. The result is, as foreseen in the visionary :nind of the tricksters who laid the plot, n general wrangle among the Democrats with the probability that not a few will deckle through disgust to vote the Republican ticket. REACTION WILL, BE STRONG: This thing was put into operation the first of last week and fortunately was discovered in time to counteract its in fluence and produce a reflex action that will be seriously damaging to the men who tried to trip their Democratic friends. It is believed that no Demo crat will now be deceived by this on soienceless scheme. Had it been w.th held until a day or two before election so" that oven if detected its defeat could not have been accomplished, its suc cess would doubtless have been assumed. While it is not known that this plot was put into general operation over the state, it is very probable that it was and that its effect may be felt in some localities where perhaps it has not been discovered. It is one of the most base less of the scores of similar traps ttiat have been set by the Repuolicans to bring about the defeat of Gov. L,!:id and the election of Van Sant, but,. l:ke the othe.rs, it will prove vain. Stops the Conch And Works Off the Cold. Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.
