LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY Is TAKEN
For Square N cal Occasion by the
Advocates of Organism in
Minnesota, f's'F '~''

With a three-fold object the leaders
of the free silver movement in Mime
sofa are to meet at the Windsor hotel
in this city Friday evening, Feb. IL.
This will be the first meeting of these
gentlemen since the fatal day in No
Vember, when their leader and party
went down to defeat. Therefore, there
will be some. remarks of coincidence
some words of encouragement, and
around a banquet board they will
pledge future victory Undismayed,
they propose to make this banquet,
which is to be held on the birthday Of
the iLustrious Lincoln, memorable in
the history of the free silver party in
the state and the starting point for
the campaigns of the future. .4 .A1l.,
This banquet was first suggested by
j. NJ. Hawthorne, who is the recognized
/ leader of the free silver Republican
FORCES. The Democratic and POpulist
leaders readily fell in with the sugges-
uon,J At. first it was intended to be.
merely local affair, to include the free
silver leaders of the Twin Cities, but
gradually the list of invitations grew,
and it was then suggested that the af
fair be held on Lincolns birthday, and
that all the prominent free silver. peo-
pie in the state be invited to partici-
pate. The executive committee, of which
Mr.o.HaWthorne is chairman, invited
the speakers and suggested the sub
Jects, all Of which are quotations from
| the writings and speeches Of the mar
tyr president. Replies have been re-
ceived from all the gentlemen invited to
respond to these 9toasts, but in some
cases the subjects have not been &C
cepted. Therefore, it is impossible at
this time to give the full programme
Ignatius Donne1lys has been assigned
the place of chief}.orator of the even
+ Ing. He will have for his subject that
oft-quoted remark of President Lincoln
ABOUT foolfng some or all or part Of
the people at VARIOUS times -.-r- n
Jonn LIND will come up from New
Ulm ana tell the assembled banquet
ers what he knows about bimetallism
AT least, he wants to tell them The
committee, however, have another top
1c for the ex-RepubliCan, and he is now
considering whether he can forego this
opportunity to review some of his eff
forts of the campaign.
81. Paul viii be represented by Ma
t1onal Committeeman Thomas D.
OBr1en, who will probably occupy the
post Of master Of ceremonies. His
topic, like those of the other speakers
will be something suggested by Mr.
Lincoln. john L: Townley, chairman
or the Democratic county committee
has topic that will lead up to some
Of the things ne, thinks he knows con-
corning the fiscal affairs of certain
local concerns. and If Mr. ToWnley
lives up to the traditions of the party
he will give his hearers some 'shot
stuff. Mr.. ToWnley can rend any
kind of subject into more kinds Of
tatters than any other man on the pro-
gramme.
John Day Smith and Senator S. E.
Howard are given places on the pro-
granlme,. as coming from Minneapolis,
but the chief speaker from that part
Of the state will be S. M. Owen, who,
under the guise Of a sentiment from
Lincoln, will tell his hearers how he
was defeated for congress and what
he would do If nominated again.
From out Martin county way Frank
Day will lay down his composing stick,
pocket his rule and join with the other
ex-Republicans in the symposium. Mr.
Day may have something to say about
the manner in which he was turned
down in his contest with State Senator
Dunn. But there is nothing in the SUBJ
ject assigned him that would indicate
that he was mixed up in a legislative
contest. DE
Duluth will send vCi A. d'Autremont
to uphold the fealty of the Sixth dis
trict with his eloQuence.
. The banquet will de held at the
Windsor hotel at 1870 in the evening
of the day selected. Landlord Monfort
has promised that the decorations shall
all be in silver. No hint Of the hated
yellow shall appear in any of the fur
nishings, fittings, orsI food. Even the
butter .will be whate,oa supply of the
old-fashioned dairy Kind, made from
milk given by barp-fed cows and
churned and moulded by = farmers,
wives, having been contracted for for
the occasion, AS tits to be a state af-
fair, and many from, the country will be
present, full dress will be- tabooed.
Word has been sent to L. A. ,Rosing,
chairman of the Democratic state cen
trail committee, to wear a black. neck
tie. Senator Howard will not be adj
mitted to the banquet hall if he per-
sists in wearing his boutonniere.
The committee on arrangements will
complete their plans some time tomor-
row, when the full programme will be
given out for publication.
