city of Minneapolis, returned from his
eastern trip of several weeks last even
ing. 1t can hardly be said he is re
freShed," as is the common expression
used by evening papers which have
Washington correspondents, for Mr..
Winston when he left was in the best
of health, and declares that the climate
of the Northwest Is the best in the
world. Concerning his appointments.
he had only this to say:

the best element of the city of Mime

and impartial administration. If fail,
it will be because of certain influences
that are brought against me, and not
because it is my Intention or desire.
The appointments which l have

event occurs at Harmonic hall this
evening at 8 O'Clock. The main hall
will be filled with tables loaded with
edibles, and while it is intended that

the reception is rendered under Demo
