THE WORK OF COMMITTEES AND PRELIMINARY
DETAILS.
The citizens of Minneapolis rendered a
reception at the West hotel last evening to
the governor and members of the legislature
of the state of Minnesota. In its result, it
was spontaneous uprising of the foremost
men of the city to do honor and show
courtesy to the executive head and law
making power of the state. In the bright
glare OF the electric lights, amidst the fra
GRANGE of flowers and to the sweetest strains
of music, the outstretcheG hand and
cordial words of welcome came from
the people of Minneapolis, through their
representatives, to the delegated servants
and officers of the commonwealth. In that
outpouring of the beauty and chiyalry, talent
and position OF two great cities, there were
no separate and rival communities; no
spear point g ga ed through the garland no
word supp te the white flag of truce;
there was on y the interminglng of the
people from all points and every section of
the great Gate state of the Northwest, and
chiefly Of the two sister cities running hand
finland and shoulder to shoulder, the gen.
erous race for municipal supremacy.
Three weeks ago few leading men of the
city conceived the idea of extending the hos
pitality of Minneapolis to the state legislature
| and the several departments of the state gov
eminent. The project was communicated,
received with general appreciation and last
night witnessed its successful consumma-
f1;-oc ha NJ fha nioi-
pality of Minneapolis that stood as hosts at
the West hotel last night discharging, in the
| tokens Of welcome, the duty that the head of
the house delegates to none beneath
him. The city council had in
dorsed the plan and its com mittee,
representing the several wards of the city,
took an active part in the preparations. The
board of trade and chamber of commerce
smiled upon it and their several committees
representing all the vast and diverse bust
ness interests of great city, brought the
generous scheme to its successful issue last
night To the work of those committees, as
such, and to their prestige as prominent
citizens, the success which crowned the re-
ception as halo Is entirely due. The sew
cral committees were as follows:
