Upon arriving at Eureka the company
marched TO the residence of Mr.. Satterlee
and quickly sought protection from the
rays OF the sun under the ample branches of
the many trees on the estate. 1t is the in
tention of the ProhibitiOnistS of Minnesota
TO buy this place for Mr.. Satterlee and
present it TO him for permanent residence
in recognition of his eminent services dur
ing the past twenty years in Minnesota for
the cause of political prohibition. The
movement in the direction of the purchase
has been quiet one, yet il has resulted
very satisfactorily. Yesterdays meeting
gave new impetus TO it and the day closed
with very gratifying showing.
After the party had been seated about
the grove Prof. James X. Beebe of Howard
Lake, chairman of the convention. called
the meeting to order and introduced Rev.
a. G. Wilson of Granite Falls, who offered
prayer. Mr.. G. +. Getty of MINNEAPOLIS
was then introduced as the first speaker.
He gave revised edition of the Declaration
of Independence, it being made applicable
to the prohibition question of to-day. Ii
was received with great applause, and after
being unanimously adopted as the declara-
ton of the convention, was ordered printed.
Rev. James p. Pinkham, state organizer
of the party, was the principal speaker of
the morning. He addressed the company
eloquently for full hour, during which he
was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic
eHgA0uoO- liz pau al C4Nluflll lllDulE 10
the memory of Gen. Grant, and said:
A hero lies cold, with a nations honor. a
nations love and a nations alteration en-
circled around his brow. He was true tyDe
OF American citizenship, and u defender of
the principles OF our American civilization.
and we honor him none the less because he
differed from US in matters or political action
The speaker followed with a very strong de-
Tense of the position of the Prohibition
party, and closed with some practical advice
to the Prohibitionists of the state.
At the conclusion of his speech. Rev.
George +. Wells, secretary of the state
committee, arose and paid a very fine
tribute to Mr.. Satterlee and the quality of
the work which he performed during the
past score of years for the cause. He re-
viewed the history of the movement looking
toward the purchase of the home, and an
nounced that $3.50 of the necessary 81. $50
had been subscribed for the objects named.
He called for subscriptions, and called upon
Scrap Iron Bill" to do little urging"
As result of the combined effort, S7OO
were subscribed in a few moments. making
total OF 81, go raised, and leaving only
$500 to be secured. 1t was voted to send
to friends throughout the state and ell
deavor TO secure the necessary $500 in a
few weeks. John NJ. Durham of Mime
apolis was made treasurer of the fund.
and it was voted that all remittances be
made to him.
At the conclusion of this service the marty
repaired TO various parts of the grove and
enjoyed picnic lunches. An hour or more
was then proftably spent, after which the
meeting was again called to order, and Rev.
Noah Lathrop of Dundas made a short.
spicy speech, full of bristling points. upon
the all-abSorbing question. At the conelu-
sion of his remarks the company took the
train for Lake Park, from which place the
Star was taken for trip around the lake.
upon invitation of Miner Ball. Esq. The
5:25 train took the excursionists homeward.
