Christmas greeting of the Anglo

'Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men,

and those of Dutch extraction who have
builded republics in South Africa!
Preparations for the great annua!
political refreshing period of Jackson's
Day are in progress at Minneapolis by
united Democrats and Allies, and JAN
10, 1900, bids fair to be set down as /;
reference date when was held one o:
the greatest of the political demonstra.
tions. The occasion may be thus sum-
married.. Jackson's Day proper, ami
versary of the victory over Great Brit
ain at New Orleans, falling on Jan. g.
our observance is made the 10th to &C.
commodate Mr.. Bryan; who speaks
elsewhere on the 8th. The banque,
feature is to have the addition of ali
Exposition mass meeting, both az
ranged so that the banqueters
can enjoy both. For both
general invitations are extended to all
members of the new Democracy, and to
its Allies, and the Reform Press of the

association, through whom the invita-

Chairman L. A. Rosing of the Demo-
cratic state central committee has
called the committee to meet on that
day, and also called all county chair
men to be present. The attendance is
also requested of all party workers and
friends of the cause.
The members of the Peoples party
committees are also invited.
Headquarters for all meetings of the
occasion and for the Reform Press will
be the West hotel
And, for gatherings, the Twin Cities
arc to be strictly in it this winter.
Following the Minneapolis political
affairs, St. Paul will have her carnival
programme on, set for Feb. to ~.
The more the merrier.
The Democratic National committee
has been called to meet at Washington
on Feb. 20, Washington's birthday, a
most fitting day, to decide on the time
and place of the Democratic conven-
tion. The outlook is that Chicago will
be the place, and the time Immediately
following the Republican conven tion.
A Chicago convention would best re-
affirm the Chicago platform and shape
the issues forvictory. The desertion of
the West and Northwest by the Repub-
licans in going to Philadelphia, will go
q long ways toward giving us the state
of Illinois. And appropriately, too,
since the principles of Lincoln are so
prominent on the Democratic and Re-
form banners of 1900.

long list of brave soldiers who have

The cause is so bad, that in all the
utterances from officials upon Lawton's
death, from Mckinley down, not one
could make a reference to the princi-
pies for which he gave up his noble
life. Whenever before was it not pos
sible to refer to our fallen soldiers, as
having given their lives for liberty and
human freedom?
Hanna's call is out for tho G.. .. P.
convention for June 19 at Philadelphia.
The proposition to reduce southern rep
resentation was shelved by Mr. McKin-
ley, on account of the large colored vote
in Ohio and Indiana.
Imperialism, as shown in the Philip.
pines, and English infamy as shown in
the South African war, are twin bed
fellows, and deserve, as they will re-
ceive, the condemnation of the ibe1ty
loving people of the United States.

We have letter from Captain Pat
rick O'Farrell, Washington, the brave
Irish soldier of the Union. the only
blemish on whom, and he admits it, is
the fact that he stumped five states for
Mckinley, in 1896, in which he says:
II have no doubt of our ability to defeat
Mckinley in the presidential election.
We must have faith in the consciences Of
the common people Of America. McKin-
ley Pauncefote and Chamberlain, cannot
foot all the people all the time. McKin-

better If he had seat in Salisbury cab
