This is the way Senator Pettigrew
states his reasons for leaving the st.
Louis convention-and the republican
party: "I left the convention because
I believed the financial question to be
the vital question in this campaign, and
as I could not support or advocate the
single gold standard, thought I owed
it to the convention not to longer
participate in the proceedings, and I
believe that the maintenance Of the
gold standard must result in g further
decline in prices to the utter ruin of all
producers of wealth, and that even the
adoption of that standard is the cause OF
the panic. enforced idleness and misery
among our people. I believe the gold
of the world is cornered by professional
creditors Of the world"

How We Celebrated.

The one hundred and twentieth ami
versary of our Republics existence was
celebrated in Williston according to the
time. honored customs of our forefathers,
and great Joy prevailed among the null
titudes who assembled here to pay hon.
age to the proud American Eagle and
to that flag which inspires patriotism in
the breast df every true citizen in the
land. The program for the OCCASION
was quite an exhaustive one, and was
carried through without jar or break.
This was due to the good management
of Mr.. Paul Schierbeck, who was dis
bursting officer of the finance committee,
and upon whom rested the responsible
ity Of seeing that each item in the pro-
gram was carried out in detail.
A large crowd attended the horse
races, which were quite spirited and in
taresting. Several horses were entered
in the running race, but the greatest in
tercst centered on Geo. w. Newt6n's
Dan" and Thos. B. Aliens "Ned,"-
or as the boys call him, Diamond
Tjee." Three heats were run, and Ned
came out first in all. Brien Barclay Of
Towner rode Ned, but unfortunate for
Dan they had to change riders.
The AFTERNOON exercises also attracted
considerable attention, and furnished
! lots of amusement. The bicycle race
was won by Paul Leonhardy, with Mr..
Walker, wool buyer, second.
Owing to the present absence on his
ranch of Mr.. Schierbeck, who has the
list, we are unable to give the names OF
the other lucky winners of prize money.
Suffice 1t to say that the day WAS most
pleasantly spent, and everybody seemed
we'll pleased with the hospitabl7 treat
ment they received at the hands of the
| various committees.

try can understand that they are in con-
troll and responsible for the legislation
In this chamber"
Senator German therefore demanded
the yeas and noes. which were taken.
The populists, Alien, Butler, Irby
PETER and Stewart, declined to vote.
Senator Tillman was paired against
the resolution and Senator Kyle, the
populist from North Dakota. voted
against the resolution. This action Of
the populists eliminated the populists as
a factor and the resolution, which gave
the republicans control of the commit
tees, was adopted by a strict party vote
Of the members of the old parties-30
to %. AS soon as the vote was announc-
ed. Senator Allen felt 1t incumbent up
on himself to make an explanation of
the attitude of the third party men.
He wanted the senate and the country
to understand that though small in num-
Der they constituted the nucleus of a
thoroughly organized party, completely
Independent in principles and sympa-
thies. When the senate convened, a
majority of the members professed to be
in favor of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. Letters had been sent
to all of them with a view to organizing
ule senate Oh silver lines. w III the eA-
seption of two or three there was no
response The populists, therefore,
Senator Allen said. decided to take no
part in the question as to who should
control the committees. Personally he
was glad the responsibility for legisla-
ton had passed into the hands Of the
republicans at both ends of the capitol.
Senator Harris proceeded to put SEN
ator Allen through a cross-examination
after his usual emphatic fashion. He
wanted to know if the pOpulists, with
full knowledge they held the balance of
power had not deliberately determined
by their silence to allow the republicans,
who had three more votes than the dem
ocrats, to take control and If their ST
lence did not, therefore, make the re-
publicans responsible for their votes.

portant than the one given TO the same
guests by the president. The cabinet Off
GERS will try to dine one another at least
once during the winter, and the embas-
sizes and leading legations will exchange
such courtesies freely.
Dinners will not alone constitute the
social excitement in the capital There
will be receptions galore. At the White
house the first will be the New Years
day reception. The next, the diplomatic
reception, at night, from until IL o'clock.
Following this will be the judiciary and
congressional reception, during the sams
hours; next, the army and navy reception
and finally the second reception to the
people, which closes the season. The dip
lomatic and army and navy receptions
will be elaborate, by reason of their cos
tunes. At the army and navy reception
the officers will come by the hundreds,
uniformed within an inch of their lives.
There are three distinct sets" in
Washington society-the official set, COM
prising the office holders and their fami-
lies; the diplomatic set, comprising diplo-
mats and their families, and the real
set" that Is. the old families. who con-
slider themselves exclusive and above the
official set. The old families sometimes
let down the bars to the diplomats, but the
office holders. the people "ip the service"
or in Office" as they say in Washington,
are totally tabooed.
