Democrat" ayerred Capt. Mahan in his
| talk before the Roosevelt Republican club
at the Merchants last night.
The occasion Of Capt. Mahan's structure
| on the Democratic party was what was
| termed smoke social. More beer and
wine. however, was in evidence than
| smoke, and some very young men who
| attended the blowout went home feeling
| dizzy and sick.
But few of these present had reached
their majority, and the affair was scarce
ly to be reckoned as of political import
ance, except that it was addressed by
several speakers whose remarks were,
some Of them noted, characterized By
malice and absence of argument or logic
Congressman F. c. Stevens, the speaker
Of the evening, exploded a quantity OF
fireworks, handed out some blue light to
the grand old party, and 90
cupied an hour. The Republican pare,
was, he said, the only political organiza-
ton GABLE Of upholding the honor and
credit Of this country. At the mention of
Roosevelt's name, however, hats and beer
mugs went into the air.
Thomas Cochran confined himself to
facts. Williams and Kent executed
bei's were given by Messrs. Dellaheld,
| Ryder, Caldwell and w. j. Tompins.
A business meeting preceded the social
session. Hugh T. Halbert, Of the execu-
tive committee, reported an amendment to

The Minneapolis Journal Of last night
| says: Nothing less than amazing was
the confidence and enthusiasm exhibited
by the members of the new Democratic
| state central committee gathered in st.
! Paul yesterday. They claimed about
verything In sight. Old timers say that
| they never saw such a confident crowd
| of Democrats together. The election OF
Lind last time, the possession Of a war
chest fairly well lilled with treasure, this
| completion of an excellent organization,
! general confidence in L. A. Ros1ng as q
| CHEZ of staff, calm belief in the invin-
| cibilitJ of Commander-in-Chief Lind, dee
! votIon to Bryan-all these combine to
make the committeeman confident of the
outcome of the campaign even to the
! point Of boastfulness. AS the Republican
| committee evinced equal confidence in tho
| outcome at Its recent meeting, it IS APP
| parent that someone IS bound to be sadly
and badly fooled
