DON'T FORGET THIS.

The Norfolk Convention ought not 10

local forces Of the Democracy TO choose

The Decorate party achieved the
great rescue of the country from the Radi-
cal rule that sought TO make ring govern

politics machine by identifying the
civil service with a political party. We

political workers TO do in the name
OF the Government the dirty woIk

can people People need not any more
proof OF this than the grand elimination
Of the policy OF the Radicals in the crime

States. Congress. and the whole fabric OF
our representation prosiituted TO the

GETTING ACQUAINTED.
An Informal Reception and an
Address by Mayor Smith.

Standard hall was the Mecca towards
which the delegates turned their steps
last evening on the occasion of an off
cial reception of members and guests
and a concert by Seibert's orchestra
Upon entering the hall, it was found
that the local committee, consisting of
Messrs. William Hamm, Ernest HaItru-
sauer, Anthony Yoerg, Jr., William
Banholzer, Paul Hauser, Philip Sitt-
man and Chris Dormiden, had not been
idle and besides festooning the walls
with eyergreens and decorations of the
of the leading brewing establish
ments in the United States,
they had provided an abund-
ance of small tables and chairs
where their guests could make them
selves comfortable during the ceremo-
MES. A host of diiigent and attentive
walters, each armed with a box of
cigars and bottle of some famous
brew of beer, were scattered through
out the hall as ministers to the wants of
the thirsty and tired delegates. All the
delegates who were accompanied on
the trip by their wives and daughters
took them to Standard hall and the fair
sex seemed TO enjoy themselves equally
as well as their liegeS and in fact it was
"a general good time throughout 1t was
about $50 o'clock when Aid. Hamm
raped the aSsemblage to order and
introduced Mayor Smith, who. he said,
would address a few words on behalf of
st. Paul.
o Brevity marked the speechmaking.
Mayor Smith said that he was glad to
welcome to ST. Paul an association
whose principal objects were to educate
a healthy public sentiment as to unjust
Determinations against their busi-
ness. and to cultivate social intercourse
with their members.
80 1t was within his remembrance when
there were few breweries west of the
Alleghenies. and fully three-fourths of
the people of that day had not even
seen, much less taken beer. Now. how
ever, beer was almost national bever-
age and formed one of the greatest in
duStrieS of the country, while the men
who managed the breweries were of
nigh character and intelligence. In
conclusion he assured all present
of hearty welcome to st. Paul, and
hoped that they would carry back to their
homes only the pleasantest memories
of their trip to the SANITY City. Presi-
dent W. A. Miles. of the Brewers asso-
citation, and who, by the way. is very
suggestive of eX-Mayor Grace, of New
York, in personal appearance, even to
the gold-bowed Spectacles, made a fitting
response to the kindly greeting of
Mayor Smith, there was a flourish of
popular music from the orchestra and
the reception was over.
