Ex.Congressman Bryan, the e]o
quent free silver advocate Of Ne

Duluth Saturday evening. He was
a promin ent Democrat in the last
congress-, where he was con
spicuous by reason Of the leading
part he took in the debate against
the repeal of the Sherman law
and his many other speeches il
the interests Of silver. When he
began his remarks Saturday even
ing he said:
II am here to do what !. few

impossible. 1 am here to assist

your congressman, Mr.. Towne,
believes in the full and complete
restoration of silver in the ratio
of 16 to 1. If l can speak one
word that will make his people
stand by him with greater fidelity
| shall not have come in vain.'
That was pretty good starter
for a prominent Democrat from
another state to make. 1t will
tend to encourage Republicans in
rejoicing over Congressman
Towne's course. In one part of
the speech Mr.. Bryan said:
"When we are accused of harm.

standard, in favor of what we
think is right. Our opponents

we are opposed had no fear
OF disturbing the harmony Of the
party when the Sherman law was
repealed
When the eloquent "cx.' made
that drive he didn't know how
recent was Towne's conversion to
the silver craze. About two years
ago Mr.. Towne had taken a very
positive stand in favor of the re-
peal of the Sherman law, and
while he made a public speech
opposed a resolution protesting
against the repeal of the Sherman
law he took occasion to announce
that the proposition to have this
country attempt the free coinage
of silver at Is to 1 Independently
of other great commercial nations
would be Financial lunacy." Mr..
Towne then made his statements
very strong on that question, and
no one in the district had any

views till long after his election to

AT MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
mills have stopped for the season
and the Boom company is through
turning for another year. The
booms have been pulled in and every
thing prepared for the winter. Since
the last log was turned the company
has been paying attention to the
deadheads, pulling them out ON the
bank to dry. About forty men are
at work and they have already hung
out about 25, 600 logs. Before the
river freezes up they will have found
enough more to make the number
10000. In the spring when the mills
start these logs will be turned to
them before the newer logs that are
in the river above, and sa we'd before
they have had time to become water
logged again. II left in the water it
only takes about three weeks before
they will again sink to the BOTTOM.
This work OF the Boom company ex-
tends from Durham island to the
falls, and the bed of the riveris paved
with logs for almost the entire dis
tance. This cleaning up has to be
done every year, Or the gaps and
entrances to the mill-ponds would
soon become SO clogged up that logs
would not go through. The COM
pany's steamer, the 81. 8. Bassett"
has been put into the usual winter
quarters at the foot of Durham is
land. The company has but little
work of repairing to do before an
other season, but are building a new
