DULUTH, March 5.--Last night will be
| marked in tue annals Of Duluth Democracy
with big red letter. 1t was the pleasantest
social occasion they ever enjoyed. After
thinking of and finally rejecting several
plans by which to celebrate the Inauguration
| of a Democratic president, they finally
decided that banquet would
be about the proper thing, and nearly one
hundred of them sat down in the dining
| room of the Windsor hotel to a feast beft-
ing the occasion. The dining room was
tastefully decorated with flags and bunting,
and the portraits of the new president and
| vice president looked down serenely on the
| Jolly gathering. Charles d'Autroment, pres
| ident of the new Democratic club, presided
Among the guests was Judge White

but during the last campaign Cleveland
Mugwump, who could not as he said, vote
for man whose only magnetism was the
magnetism that drew e large fortune to him
self by methods that could not stand investi-
cation. The Duluth Gee club, one of the
best musical organizations in the state. en-
tcrtained the feasters with stirring patriotic
and campaign songs throughout the evening.
After the more substantial elements of the
supper had been placed where they would
| add to the bone and snew and muscle of the
partakers, the popping of champagne
corks introduced the feast OF reason and the
flow of soul-snd spirits. The POSTMASTER
in his preliminary remarks reminded his
hearers that it was not merely long time
between drinks with the Democracy, but
long time between banquets. He recalled
the quadrennial trips of the party up Salt
river, but predicted that the future would
furnish more hang uets and less brine. The
| following is the
LIST OF ToAsTs:
Democratic Duty-To Reform Republican
Abuses. Theodore F. Hudson.
Our President. D. NJ. Parkhurst
| The independent Vote a Power in the
Nation. Judge White.
Democracy Among the Fish Eaters. j. j.
Hubbard.
| Mr.. Smith was born into the Democratic
party away back in Jackson's secon term,
and gave an interesting history of its vicissi-
| tudes since then. Mr.. Hudson alluded to
the manifold abuses and double-dyed corrup-
ton of the Republican party as witnesses in
| the jooberies Of all kinds that have fourished
since its birth Mr.. Parkhurst fairly carried
| his hearers off their feet when he told the
story of Cleveland's rise and analysed in a
mastery wav the elements of his character.
Judge White, as an independent Republican,
spoke earnestly of the necessity of thought and
| conscience in politics. and called forth vo-
| ciferous applause that q state is in great need
| of reform that would send such man as
Sabn to the United States senate. He spoke
of the discourtesy wrung from President
Arthur two days before his term expired, for
no other than political reasons, and this al
fusion to the appointment of G.. G. Hartley
| to the land Office In this place met with
warm approval. J. j. Hibbards toast re-
| ferred to the days when there were but a
handful of Democrats in Duluth, and Du-
luthians were popularity said to live on fish
and tourists The toasts were short, pithy
and to the point, and were relieved
| by frequent songs by the glee
| club. The banquet broke up at
80 in the morning, all hands, OF
rather all voices joining in the song Aud
Lang Syne. There has never been a pleas
anter gathering OF Democrats in the history
of the city, and all who were present will not
soon forget the occasion.
| Earlier in the morning and before the
| banquet began, the organization Of a Demo-
cratic club was completed and name
adopted. With that fondness for aboriginal
| names which seems to distinguish the party
everywhere, they chose the name Mesaba,
and Mcsabas they..will be. The sachem Ia
Charles d'Autremont, Jr.
| have alluded to the appointment of G. G..
| Hartley to the land Office here and the effect
Judge Whites denuncation of Sabn had
upon the assembled Democracy. The ap-
pointment has created curious state Of feel
| ing Ia Duluth All sides agree in damning
Sabin with big d, but from different mo-
tives. They all agree in one thing-that no
outsider should be given the place, for If
there be one thing your true Duluthian Ia
certain Of, it is that he can take care OF
government Office without foreign help.
But here the agreement ends.
The Democrats are indignant that our junior
senator should have the audacity to
| appoint man to office almost
while the president-elect was on his way to
| Washington. There would have been no OBJ
| lection on their part TO II. G. Kendall, for
| the double reason that he is a citizen Of the
| place, and because his integrity and honesty
have made him as many friends among the
Democrats as in his own party. The Nelson
Republicans are mad because a Kindred
man was given the place, and
the Kindred Republicans are indignant
because Kendall did not get it. 1t was uu-
derstood here in Duluth, when Sabln was
| elected senator, that he would recognize his

for his failure 10 keep that promise They
cannot understand why Nelson should have
been stronger than Sabin with President Ar
thur, and talks Of treachery and violation Of
solemn promises are common among them.
Personally Sabin and Kendall have

twins. They fought each other for
four years IN the Legislature, and the
fact that they have been living In a sort Of
armed neutrality sin &c the Kindred episode
ia another illustration Of the strange bed-fel-
lows politics makes. The Kindred men In
Duluth accuse Sabin Of treachery, as they

in some respects. None Of the Nelson Re
