William Jennings Bryan, Democratic
candidate/fo president of the United
States, will do business with his Min
nesota friends next Saturday. Mr..
Bryan will enter the state by way Of
Fargo, leaving that place, so far as
his arrangements are now known, in
the morning of that day. He will pro-
coed by special train and journey to-
ward ST, Paul via Morris, Brecken-
ridge, Benson; Willmar and other towns
where he will make brief speeches from
his train platform. The hour Of his
arrival in st. Paul Is not yet known,
but that special reception committee
will be on hand to welcome the tray-
eler there Is no doubt. The local DEM
ocrats are doing their share of the
preparations, and the state central
committee wiz have further informa-
ton to disclose today.
Assuming that Mr.. Bryan will not
reach the city in time to deliver any
speeches during the day, Saturday, the
county Democratic committee is ar
ranging for three meetings at night
The first of these meetings will be held
in the Auditorium, another In Market
hall and the third in some park to be
selected and announced later. In this
way the committee believes the people
who want to hear the presidential can
didate will be afforded that pleasure.
These meetings will probably be open
to the general public. The idea of
issuing tickets Of admission is not
Democratic enough for Mr.. Bryan or
for the members of the local commit
tee. It is the intention that every one
shall have an opportunity to hear the
speaker and not the favored few who
are always on hand with pull
when there is anything to be given out.
Additional speakers will be furnished
at each hall and in the park to keep
the crowds entertained while waiting
for the attraction of the evening.
Yesterday the executive committee
of the county committee met and ap-
pointed the following to act as ushers
at the Auditorium and Market hall
meetings: John Clark, Henry Myer-
ding, John Enright, Martin Flanagan,
Charles Hanft, Charles Gerber VIM.
Folssen, Thomas F. Martin, Frank
Nonnemacher, John Wolf, Richard
O'Brien, Thomas Kennedy, Edward
Sexton, VIM. Heck, Frank Mossberger,
John McGrath, John Hardy and Frank
Bailey. Members of this committee
will meet at Democratic headquarters
at o'clock Saturday afternoon to re-
ceive their badges and assignment for
duty. The mayor has been asked to
furnish a detail Of police to preserve
order in the crowds and prevent rush
of the people as the presidential candi-
date moves from one hall to the other
and to the park.
Three hundred old soldiers yesterday
filed the first application for seats at
one Of the meetings. And they asked
for front seats, too. They will get 'em
If q there's not another chair reserved
at any of the meetings. Ladies', also
will be admitted and special arrange
ments made to secure their comfort.
The special committee on halls and
printing to arrange for the meetings
are requested to meet at headquarters
this morning at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Bryan is q good Presbyterian,
and on all his tour throughout the
country has almost invariably attend
ed divine service wherever he has been
resting over the Sabbath. The COM
nlittee has gone so far as to select the
house of worship for him while in the
city and are keeping the place a sec
ret so that the regular congregation
may not be crowded out of their pews
by the crowds of spectators that are
certain to follow the presidential can
didate If his destination is known
Sunday will be spent by Mr.. Bryan in
rest. This rule he has made absolute
during his tour, and 1t is not likely the
scenery of Minnesota and the gorge
GUS tints of the hills hereabout will
tempt him to alter his usual pro-
gramme.
The state central committee met last
night and made arrangements for a
special train to take Mr. Bryan on a
tour Of some Of the smaller nearby
cities-Owatonna, Mankato, and some
of the other cities in the southern part
of the state, returning in time to ap-
pear at the Exposition building in
Minneapolis in the evening. Tues
day morning Mr.. Bryan will go to Du-
luth, where he will speak in the even
ing.
Members Of the county Democratic
executive and finance committees did
a. little business with the candidates
yesterday. The interested parties met
at county headquarters at o. m, dis
cussed plans for the campaign and
talked finances. The committeeman
had a little list of names with two or
three figures after each name Con-
sidering how hard times are the can
dfdates were let off with small assess
three figured bills to meet, others con-
tributed amounts represented by two
figures. down to a S and a 0-with
5 before the S. The legislative candi-
dates got off the easiest, while John
WAGNER had to put up the largest
amount. The sum total Of the assess
ment was about 81, 500-a mighty small
sum to conduct an aggressive cam
paign.
F. C. Stevens, Republican candidate
for congress. and ex-Gov. McGill adj
dressed a meeting in Rose Town last
night.
Voters of the Eleventh precinct Of the
Eighth ward will meet in the hall at
Milford and Woodbridge streets tomor-
row night to organize non-partisan
sound money club.
Albert Berg, secretary OF state and
prophet-in-chief to the gentleman who
signed the notorious Hastings & Da-
kota lands deed and likewise a bill
forbidding himself to do anything of
the kind, has been making some more
''fggers, as he calls them, for the ed
ification Of the faithful in and about
the state house. Mr.. Berg thinks he
knows all about it-that Is, the result
