MICHIGAN CLUB BANQUET.
Addresses by Alger. Pingree and Otlf-
ers-Mr. Hanna's Regrets.

DETROIT, Feb. 22.-Eight hundred mem
bers of the Michigan Club banquetted mer-
rily this evening in the big auditorium. 1t
was the twelfth annual gala night of the
club, and the occasion was not less auspi-
cious than the previous notable gatherings
of that stalwart Republican organization.
The one disappointing feature was the alb
sence of Chairman Hanna, who ii had been
announced would be present and respond
to the toast, THE Victory OF 1896" The
following telegram from Mr. Hanna dated
Feb. 19, was read:
Il am very sorry, but II is simply i'm
possible for me to leave home before / go
TO Washington. Mckinley is not receiving
visitors, and / am overwhelmed by people
coming here whom i must see. / know my
friends will appreciate that only public du-
ties prevent my enjoying the pleasure OF
meeting them"
Regrets were also read from President
elect Mckinley, ex-President Harrison
Senators Sherman. Mcmillan, Burrows and
others. After the discussion of the menus
5. S. Babcock, retiring president of the
club, made his farewell address, concluding
with the introduction OF r. "A. Alger as
POSTMASTER.
The general arose amid great cheering
and waving OF flags. He feelingly thanked
their very evident friendship. Referring
to present business conditions he asserted
his belief that a future of prosperity hith-
erto unknown was near at hand. Speaking
of the proposed era of peace and mis- OF
fetal position in the Cabinet, the general
said: -AS far as my influence can go
there shall never be anything TO disturb
peaceful relations with other nations
unless our honor is aSsailed. While We
should ever give our sympathies 10 the op-
pressed, what we need now above all things
is rest from strife, restored confidence and
peace

guests. Incidentally eulog gizing Washington
and tho heroes OF his time The Governor
deprecated the conservatism which gener-
ally stands back when hgntlng is In prog
ress. and assorted that the people OF to-day
were earnestly demanding reforms AZ
those OF 1876. and added: III the Repub-

compelled him TO resign. He did yeoman
service during the recent campaign, giving
two or three months time to speaking
through Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Iowa, Missouri. Kansas and South Dakota.
Although modestly refraining from stating
the object OF his call. he carries with him
a package which very much resembles let
ters and Endorsements, and IL is probable
that he would not refuse the honor OF
representing this country in his native land
if the place were offered him.
Among the callers this afternoon was NJ.
II. DeYoung OF California, who stopped off
in Canton on his way home from trip 10

Free Methojists.

Wednesday evening of last week two
ministers came to this city and an
nounced that they would begin series
of evening services closing Sunday, that
they we're stopping over in Tobinsport
but on the following evening would
bring their wives over, with several other
ladies that were with them to assist in
the singing. They took particular pains
to impress upon those who were there
that they were not Mormons, nor the 30
called Salvation Army. On Thursday
evening they came, two ministers and
five ladies comprising the party. They
began services promptly in front OF the
Heyser House, as announced, opening
with singing, followed by prayer. To
the surprise OF all Miss May Conner, who
formerly resided here, but is now max
ing her home in Rockport, Ind, was one
Of the party. Various reports have been
circulated about Miss Conner which are
all untrue, some saying that she was GER
tAinly demented, and had lost her mind.
A NEWS representative interviewed Miss
Conner who conversed perfectly rational
and showed no signs OF demented per-
son. One Of the ministers said that Miss
Conner had ouly joined them for few
days The meetings grew with interest
from the start and laIg, crowds assem-
bled 10 hear the sermons and the beauti-
iul songs. The best Of order prevailed
and they were given the best Of atten-
ton.
The ministers claim TO be Free Meth
odists" and have regular charges, one at
Cannelton, the other lives in Illinois and
is here assisting the regular pastor in a
series OF meetings at Toblnsport. The
purpose OF these meetings, they say, is TO
get nearer the people and reach class
who would not otherwise hear the Cos
pei. They will continue TO hold services
in their tabernacle over at TobInsport
for another week and extend a cordial
invitation to C.oyerport people to come
over and hear them. They expressed
themselves a. being particularly pleased
with the reception given them in this
city They say they were never treated
better nor bad more marked attention.

No the farmers are not thinking
great deal about politics now. But they
can't rest very long. There are 30 many
candidates that they are not given time
to rest The best thing for the farmer
and every other man who wishes to pros
per is not to muddle too much in poll
tics. The gold bug crowd, though, not
longer than a week ago had TO have a
blow out in a convention in Louisville,
and scatter their complaints all over the
country. No body has faulted the g)ld
bug Democrats, but still they keep up
the war. II there is any undue excite
ment around these lads are responsible

nothing, except to allow some politicians
to give themselves a fresh airing.
