SAINT PAUL MINI, WEDNESDAY, MORNING

and st, Paul, through their respective
commercial clubs and kindred agencies
should cordially unite on neutral
grounds to foster, encourage and pro-
tect those mutual interests which are
in common. and which will tend to de-
velop and encourage all those indus
tries that will perpetuate the supremacy
OF the two cities as the commercial,
industrial, numerical and monetary
centers of this great Northwest.
10 the press of the Twin Cities we
owe much for what we are. They give
wings to our thoughts, ideas and
or the world on these two cities and the
vast country tributary thereto. The
press is a torch, which, welded high
and lofty, has spread its light and in
huence, not only in the thick centers of
population. but in the lonely regions
and sparselY settled districts of the
world. In your hands, members of the
press, and under your control, the press
Is great moulder of public senti-
ment and opini0n-a powerful agen-
CIV that can do much to teach
the people the lessons of the
past and their duty in the future teach
us that we all have a common interest
In the protection and preservation of
the grandest country on the face Of the
globe; that our nation rests upon the
shoulders of us-its tOilerS-and that
the shield of protection should and will
be above all honest toll, and that honest
labor has Its reward; that the man who
lives honestly under our flag has more
liberty, has more to eat, more to wear
than the one of any other country on
the face of the globe; that every honest
man Is king, every loyal woman 4
queen, with equal rights and suffrage to
all mankind.
j. T. WYMAN.
j. L. Wyman, of the Minneapolis
board of trade, spoke briefly in hui
morOus vein on the characteristics of
the two cities. He thought the great
mistake was made IN taking the Mid

ucati0nal, city and commercial interests.
1t was happy thought which brought
such an assemblage together. and no.
where else could have they been con-
gregated. 1t was the inspiration, the
attraction and the importance of the
Midway district which made the oc-
casiOn such a great success, and pro.
duced an event of which the originators
and executors may we'll be proud.
The union of the two cities of st.
Paul and Minneapolis has been the
theme of conversation and speculation
for the last eight or ten years. Last
evening the first step was taken toward
the cOnsummation ot this idea when
the members of the press clubs of the
two cities met for the first time for
conference on neutral ground-the Mid
way district.
The idea of this conference supper
originated with EG A. Paradis, of the
Midway News, and realizing the benefit
that would accrue from such a meeting
he, together with several we'll known
citizens of the Midway district, issued a
cordial invitation to the clubs to gather
at Columbia hall at Union Park and par
take of a supper and at the same time
listen to addresses to be made by we'll
known orators.
In response to this invitation there
were about rs gentlemen who braved
last evenings snow storm and met at
Columbia hall at o'clock, where an
informal reception was held in the
parlors. After an hour spent in CONVEX
jation and mutual congratulations the
party repaired to the dining room,
where an elegant supper was served.
The large dining room of the hall was
admirably fitted for such a meeting. A
.ong table at the end of the room was

like the two little girls in blue-I sup
pose you have heard that in st. Paul.
''Of late years the two cities have not
seen much of each other. The Pioneer
Press occasionally announces spring.
followed by heavy snow, and the
GLOBE Detective Bureau makes an ar
rest.
The men who do the real heavy
work seldom meet with you. gentlemen,
and this occasion is specially interest
ing, as it gives you chance to get &C
quainted.
Bob Ingersoll recently said that
newspapers were not inclined to pro-
vincialsm, of certain kinds. He meant
that kind of provincialism which sep
arates the community, and said the
newspapers of the present day held the
people together, and their influence
should be sufficient to hold the news
paper men together. / hope we shall
see soon when we can come together
and operate SO that we can have wine
salaries and beer appetiteS. We now
have beer salaries and wine appetlteS.
The Minneapolis Press club has
shown disposition to meet the st. Paul
newspaper club halfway, and we will
come even farther"
Mr.. Halls speech was greeted with
frequent applause and laughter.
DIR. j. j. CONWAY.
DIR. J. j. Conway. president of the st.
Paul Press club, was introduced by Mr..
Paradis to speak for that organization.
DR.. Conway opened an excellent
address by abiding to the fact that
when he was spiritual adviser of the
club it had a woman vice president.
In speaking of the pride of family
of the st. Paul Press club, he said that
it was too proud to care where its
ancestors came from. AS to pride of
wealth, it cared no more for money than
what is needful to pay Its obligations.
AS to the pride of intellect
of the st. Paul Press club,
it might be said that they
did not wear old-fashioned and large
hats for the reason of their pride of
intellect. but possibly because they may
sometimes have swelled heads, and the
regulation headgear would not fit. In
the opinion of the speaker he believed
| that st. Paul owed more to its press
| club than to any other institution for
making the city well known abroad.
Rev. Conway spoke of the fitness of the
Midway district in entertaining the
press clubs of the two cities, and re-
ferred to the district as the coming
! Athens of the United States.
GOV. NELSON.
Hon. Knute Nelson was then intro
duced to the assembly amidst loud ap-
plause, and made a most entertaining
/ speech.
Gentlemen Of the united clubs" &c
said, 1.-The worlds fair was Incomplete

lating story illustrative of the loving
feelings with which the Midway d g.
trict regards the two cities.
He then spoke of the fOoiishness of
not learning by experience and striving
to unite the cities. Their common in
terest should unite them, and in time
stand so high as to become the
admiration of the continent. The
conditions of the country in
a financial and business way
were alluded to as likely to be more ex-
tended than any similar period in the
history of the country, and the speaker
regarded it important to get down to
business basis and work together as
Twin Cities to further mutual inter-
ests. DR.. Northrop eXhorted the news
papers to always bear in mind that the
people get their ideas from the press,
and. therefore. to be serious and put all
the manhood they have into the papers,
and be honest and honorable.
CAPT. CASTLE.
Capt. H. A. Castle was next intro
duced. He said he was afraid it was
too late to make speech such as was
suitable. He stated that, as president
of the chamber of commerce, he heart
lily Endorsed the proposition to bring the
two cities into closer relations to each
other. He said the st. Paul chamber of
commerce was prepared to send a COM
mittee to meet one from Minneapolis at
any time TO assist in building up Mid
way.
He said he hoped some day to see the
Midway the center of the greatest city
in the Northwest
j. T. CALDERWooD.
Mr.. Calderwood, president of the
Minneapolis Commercial club, said:
During the past year towns and cities
have suffered alike, stocks and bonds
and various other securities have
shrunk from par to almost worthless
paper. Princes and millIonaires have
become paupers; bankers, manufast-
urers and merchants have passed into

LOUISVILLE, o., March 81. - How
CoXey's army survived the night seems
a miracle. Herded together like penned
up cattle, 100 men spent the night in
room S0X40. The atmosphere could
have been cut with knife, and death
might have been caused by asphyXla-
ton. However, they were all on hand
at this morning At that hour. here
and there could be seen groups wind
ing their way to camp, ready for bugle
call. Breakfast was under preparation,
and three bushels of potatoes, some cold
ham, bread and sausage was given out.
All seemed to be satisfied.
Louis Smith, the unknown, was in
command. From all appearances the
army viii! remain intact, no assertions
having taken place. On the contrary,
an increase of recruits is expected dur
ing the march to Alliance. CoXey and
the aides took supper at the camp last
night, and returned again this morning
for breakfast. The weather is moderat-
ing and good cheer prevails. A recep-
ton is promised at Alliance from re-
ports received in camp. The donations
this morning consisted Of one overcOat.
The sun is coming out in full strength
and the march promises all improve
ment over yesterday.

Minneapolis to swarm into an opposite
direction, and then st. Paul. in place of
becoming foster mother to the Midway
district. became stepmother, and left
the district alone. The fight between
the. cities was reviewed in brief, and
regrets expressed at the folly. Mayor
Eustis said that if, instead of st. Paul
building in the direction of down the
river and Minneapolis building iu the
direction of Anoka, they had acted as
did the wise virgins. sthe cities would
have been compact and able to with
stand such times Of depression as had
lately come over the country. Mayor
Eustis suggested the appointment Of a
commission to strike dividing line be-
tween the two cities, then build the
capitol on the line and bring the fac
tories to the ceutsr and unite them.
Another plan he would suggest is to
take the Midway district out of both
cities aud Wait Tor the two cities
to build Up to it. and then unite the
three into one grand city, re declared

CHICAGO. March q. - The Union
League club, the most influential social
organization of Chicago, is, it is said,
seriously considering the question of
eXpelling Congressman BIeckinridga
from honorary membership. There are
but three names on the clubs list of
honorary members-eX-Presid Har-
rison, Chauncey NJ. Depew and the
Kentucky congressman. II do not
think there is any place in the Union

BEGGING EZPEDITION.

BEGGING EXPEDITION.
Toes have begun to peep from shoes
that have yielded to the hard service
OF the march. and the lack OF clothing is
still severely felt. Clothing and other
supplies were asked for, but little was
obtained. No dinner. and only cheese,
brea |, potatoes and black coffee on the
evening bill OF fare has caused much
grumbling, and it may lead to open
mut!ny. Gen. CoXey went to Chicago
tonight, but he will be back tomorrow.
He and Brown addressed crowd in the
opera house this afternoon. Browns
plausible defense OF the crusade brought
applause and s1O.92. Camp Anna l..
Diggs will be established at Salem to-
morrow.
The army was rendered for sleeping
quarters the Independent church and a
vacant storeroom, but the invitation
was refused.
I'VE have plenty of fresh straw" said
Marshal Brown. ut may be depended
upon that no bed of straw received his
manly frame. Louis Smith and w. Ii.
RIckhard have collected more food than
can be carried in the commissary
wagons. and the men are wondering, in
view OF the scant fare at supper, what
mas become of it. About forty men
were mustered in this evening" CoXey's
departure has caused rumors that the
expedition is about to collapse. Unless
he is ruined financially some sort of
procession will certainly reach Wash

ated today, and it will be filled by
Henry Vincent. the Chicago reformer.

see the goodness of the newspapers
which speak well of men, but could
never see the use of those papers which

He spoke of the different classes of
newspapers and the manner in which
they represented various men. The
newspapers which castigate are as nee
essary as those that extol. He con-
cluded by saying:
"God bless you all. no matter to
which class you belong"
The governor was greeted with a
storm of applause as he took his seat.
MAYOR EUSTIs.
Mayor William II. Eustls, of Mime

cities, said that he was willing TO turn
over to Gov. Nelson that portion of the
public press that is doing the castigat.

Ject in hand and speaking seriously,
Mayor Eustis said the time has come to
talk facts. He believed no class of peo-
pie is more anxious for consolidation
than the class represented at the meet
ing. While the people of the cities
have been excited in the past, and had
a good deal of human nature, it is not
surprising that they lost their heads,
and are regretting the rivalry of the
past years.
He spoke of the feeling of the people
when the Midway district was taken
into the limits of st. Paul. While at
that time Minneapolis was building
toward st. Paul, the feeling caused

speakers with fitting illusions. In his
preliminary remarks, Mr.. Paradis said:
This is the first time in tine history
of the Twin Cities that such a repre-
sentative body of men has met in the
center of population of the state. We
are glad that so many distinguished
gentlemen of the state and the
two cities are present. AS ad-
cities they must inevitably grow
together. You are aware that people
will grayitate to the center. AS this

Thus RECALLED, they made bee line for

with something over so cents in their
