The Campaign supper.

The Bryan and Mckinley supper and
entertainment given Tuesday evening
by the ladies of Methodist church was
a great success. Nearly one hundred
and iifty people took supper and a
large number were present at the
sraphophone entertainment. The
supper was served in the Minnelusa
hotel and the tables were decorated
with appropriate colors, two being set
apart for each of the presidential can
dldates. tho political preference of
those present being determined by the
table at which they sat. But the
stomach again proved it's title as ruler
of the world, causing number of Nc
hlniey adherents to eat at the Bryan
tables rather than remain hungry wait
ing for chance to feast with those
who favor the genius of Canton. The
ladies lost track of the exact number
favoring each of the candidates, but
the McKinleyites were considerably in
the majority. They were short of help
not expecting the immense crowd
that favored them-and regretted very
much that they were unable to keep
count at the various tables.
The graphophone feature of the
evening was given in the dining room
of the Fargo hotel under the conduct
of s. +. Wilson and Ed. Phrenneton.
The program consisted of band and Or
chestral selections, vocal solos and char
acter and humorous readings. The
numbers, however, which elected the
most applause, were Bryan's famous
Chicago speech and McKinley's speech
of acceptance. The machine is Won
derfully faithful in reproducing the
voices of these orators, though it can
not bring out the fiber of the voice and
elecutionary effects in all their detail
The interruption of the speakers by
applause enthused the auditors, who
followed the emotions of the thronRs
who heard the speakers upon the oc.
casions of the hedelivery, and they ceased
applauding only when the speeches
we're continued.

Captain Grippen Gets a win.lr.ll.

Captain ID. G. Grippen, the efficient
lower town night policeman, has been
notified by the department that his
pension has been increased sl7 per
month and that arrearages to the
amount of $500 have been allowed.
The increase of S17 per month in ad-
dition to the pension already received
by Mr.. Grippen will bring him the
snug sum of $40 per month. Captain
Grippen's original pension of s12 per
month was for severe gun shot wound
in the forearm, while tie increase of
s17 dollars per month and the arrear-
ages amounting to $500 are for an
affection of the lungs contracted in the
service. This claim has been pending
before the pension department since
1871, and Mr.. Grippen had almost dis
paired of having it allowed. Mrs. A.
B. Connor, of this city, president Of the
Woman's Relief Corps, department of
South Dakota, became interested in the
matter and while at st. Paul during
the she met the chief clerk
of the pension department with whom
she had been acquainted for years, and
urged upon him the importance Of
taking up the case and having it allow
ed. He promised to use his influence
in this direction and the dispatch with
which he carried out his promise would
indicate that Mrs. Connor had i'm
pressed the Importance of the case
upon his mind. At any rate 4Grip~
will hereafter be classed by our popo-
cratic friends with the plutocrats and
idle holders of idle capital" The
STAR congratulates him ON his good
fortune aud hopes that he may live
many years to enjoy it.

EVERYBODY
INVITED.

modoties rapidly declined until gold
was discovered in California, and from
that time they gradually advanced until
1873 when they again began to decline.
Mr.. Temple attempted to show by the
chart that prices declined prior to 40
by reason of the scarcity of gold. Mr..
Martin pointed out that this frightful
decline occurred when free coinage of
silver was in vogue. Mr.. Temple inter-
rupted and said that his remarksin this
connection had no reference to the
free coinage of silver, when Mr.. Martin
facetiously remarked that he had been
laboring under the hallucination that
thatwas one of the questions at issue.
Our limited space will not permit of
more extended comment, suffice it to
say that Mr.. Temple was completely
vanquished. This is not alone the
opinion of the republicans present, but
of many fair minded popocrats as we'll.
The popocratic mixed quartet, led
by Mrs. Burton, rendered two or three
cnolce selections, and was heartily ap-
plauded.
The following resolution was intro
duced by DIR. Hancher and adopted by
the unanimous vote of the large
assemblage:
Resolved, That this company of
American citizens. representing all
parties, hereby express by a rising vote
its high appreciation of tho manly
character, lofty dignity, friendly cour-
tesy and genial friendship that has
characterized the arguments of both
gentlemen participating in this able
and spirited debate.

BATEnAN IS ANGRY.
Aliens Notification Letter to Bryan
Does Not Seem to Suit Him u Lit
tie Bit.

LEWISTON, Me. Sept. Isl. c.
Bateman Of Auburn, the PopuIist can
didate for governor last Monday, and
also secretary of the national Populist
committee. is dissatisfied with Senator
Aliens notification of Bryan of his
nomination for president by the Popu-
list party.
MIR. Bateman, in an interview yester-
day afternoon, said to a, reporter OF
the United Associated Presses:
1.-The recent election in Maine should
be sufficient to convince the entire
country that the nomination Of Arthur
Sewall was either a. colossal blunder or
darkeyed crime. Until lately 1 have
been inclined TO believe it was the for
mer, but it certainly now looks as if
it was deliberately planned and exc
cuted as a. crime. The presence of Sew
all on the national ticket resulted in
the practical humiliation Of the Demo-
cratic party in this state. If he remains
on that ticket ii will inevitably result
in the humiliation of the Populist
party. Yes, have read Senator Aliens
letter of notification to MIR. Bryan. OF
course it is a, farce. 1t is on a par with
all the doings of the men who are try
ing to sell out and disrupt the Peoples
party. The senator is not enough Of a
politician, however. to carry out his
scheme He has overdone the matter,
and simply made himself a laughing
stock. Middle-of-the-road men are for
the most part delighted at his bGng-
ling work. Think for one moment OF
the idea of telling Mr.. Bryan that we
are all willing to support him. but we
do not expect anything from him in
return; that we do not expect him to
believe in anything that we do, but are
simply pining for the chance TO vote
for him regardless of any platform OF
principles; that we are more than will
ing that, he should use us for a spittoon,
as we have no dignity OF our own to
preserve.
This is the sum and substance Of
Senator Aliens letter After we get
done laughing over the senator's mess.
we shall quite likely take some steps
to find out whether Mr.. Bryan accepts
our nomination and our platform Of
principles.
''At. st. Louis, adj Of his friends urged
that we should nominate him, as he
was a PoDulist and believed in all
our principles We want to knotV
whether these statements are true
I'VE propose to find out and shall do

Allen or not. We do not propose to
thrust our services upon any man who
does not want them or who is ashamed
of us. We only ask for fair treatment
and that we propose to have"
