In touching upon the occasion OF the
banquet, JttfersOn's birthday, Mr..
HAYNES said that there were certain Tea-
sons why Thomas JefersOn's birthday
is celebrated, and not Alexander Ham
iIt0n's aud Adams. Thomas Jefferson
was one OF the people; he had place In
every ones heart. that was one OF
the reasons his memory was cherished
so fondly. He was a man WHO did not
drink from the cisiern OF expediencYi
aud political trickery, but drank
from the fountain OF eternal princl- 4
pies aud sympathy. Thomas Jefferson
was also retormer, refOrmer
of the kind the people, the masses,
portunities had changed in aspect, Mr..
Haynes said that in great many re-
spects. Jefferson and Grover Cleveland
were alike. Both advocated the same
true principles and had the interests OF
the country and people az heart.
Judge Brooks In following out the
programme Of tOasts, delivered short
discourse taking
Jefferson as the Basis
for touching eulogy. The teachings
OF jefferson, lie said, were worthy OF
emulation, aud In the success OF the
Democratic party with Cleveland at tho
head, was an exemplilicatiOn OF tho
same. Hon. Thomas Wilson was 10

upon with wonder In all parts Of the
wOrld-tliat which now sails under the
Democratic flag. Letthe people. said Mr..
Wilson. look forward 70 a cOnsummatiOn
aud an enactment OF the laws advocated
by jefferson. The fabric Of the public
and tine government should b. built
upon the same liberal principles pro-
mulgated by the Sage OF Monticello.
Mr.. Wills referred 10 Samuel j. Ran
dali Is a true follower OF Jefferson, and
then came Grover Cleveland. There
would this year be a revival of Demo-
cratic principles, and in the fore would
be that grand man, Grover Cleveland.

Lawrence's Effort.
"DemOcracy in Minnesota, Past ana
Present" was the toast responded TO by
James w. Lawrence. The story was
we'll told, and the Democrats OF the
state were likened 10 the gallant 800"
They formed themselves into a
band and went out 20 fight. Tn
like the 600" however, the gallant
fellows went out ION the field OF battle
time after time, and at last victory was
their own. There had been q breaking
of party lines in the state, he said, and
Of late years the Republican majOrities
had been cnt down wonderfully.
