Senator Hill entirely overestimates the impor-

Free silVerites are TO support BRYAN IN order
that the minis of the United States may be opened

AT THE BANQUET.

The great rally that was held last
night at the Auditorium would have
been incomplete had banquet not
been given. After the speaking, IN
informal reception was given. About
thirty men went to the Elite restau-
rant, where the proprietor, e. G. Nc

r. N. Hyde was master Of ceremonies
and after he had made short adj

made very logical address. He also

upon and as usual his toast was ef-
fective. Hon. J. F. Wheaton made the
brilliant toast of the evening. In fol-
lowing his words closely 1t would
seem that during some Of his climaxes
one would think they were among the
satellites. Mr.. /. e. Williamson, in his
conservative way, disbursed some sall-
ent facts. D. w. Anderson also re-
sponded to toasts. After this some one
started the tune Of John Brown and
q few verses Of that old liberty-loving
hymn were sung, and while the adieus
were being said, the lyric tenor voice
Of G. 1. Holt was heard singing God
be With You Till We Meet Again."
and the strains were soon imbibed by
all present.

WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION
LEAVES FEDERATION.

The Women's club of Medford,
Mass, has voted to Withdraw
from the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, because the ex-
ecutive board of the latter orgar1i-
zation, at the federation conven-
tion at Milwaukee last June, re-
fused to seat Mrs. Josephin St.
P. Ruin, who represented club
of colored women.
This is. the first and only club
to our knowledge that has taken
such actions. Will there be any
other clubs that will do likewise7
It will be remembered that the
delegation from this state were
in favor of seating Mrs. Ruin last
June at the convention and made
a strong fight in her behalf. We
tru.t that when the next executive
board of the General Federation
of Women's club is selected that
they will be more liberal in their
views and seat all delegates re-
gardless of color.

he made good speech, leaving ia.

rare treat which was given them BY
Hon. J. Frank Wheaton, present mem-
Der Of the Minnesota Legislature. The
applause continue long after Chair
man Barton, in few we'll chosen
words, introduced the orator Of the ev-
ening. Mr.. Wheaton had never been
heard In the Iowa capitol before, but
his speech has placed his name among
the foremost speakers Of the North
west, either white or colored. Space
will not permit us to do justice In
giving synopsis of his address, 80
we will not attempt it. The eloquence,
the rich, easy flow Of language car:
ried his audience into wonder Of ad-
miration and wild enthusiasm. After
hearing the silver tongued orator, we
do not wonder that the loyal Repub-
licans elected him to the Legislature
in white district, where only forty
or fifty colored voters live in his dis
trict as he is young man we pre-
dict a great future for.

A SENSATIONAL STORY.

but to be brief, colored man named
John Wilkerson married white girl
from Chilicothe, Mo-, in Ottumwa, la.
The girl, so her father claimed, was
under age of consent but left home and
her father followed her to Des
Moines Then the officers started after
them, finding them in Kansas, and
took the girl back home She soon
left home again and meeting he old
lover at Ottumwa, and they were mar
ried on the third day of October. Wilk-
erson was arrested last Saturday on
the charge of assisting in securing a
license to marry when his wife is al
legged to be only IL years old, and was
taken to Ottumwa, where his trial was
set for last Monday, but was postpon-
ed until the 8th inst. Gordon, the faith
er Of Mrs. Wilkerson, had her arrested
on the charge of being demented. she
was tried before the Insane Commits
sioners and their verdict was that she
was insane. It has been said by many
who attended the trial that it was one
Of the most biased boards that ever
one was tried before. Mrs. Wilkerson

worked in nearly all the printing
Offices in this city was employed
this week by Mr.. Geo. A. Miller
of the Miller printing Co., and
several of the printers, called on
Mr.. Miller and told him they
would not work in an Office with
a Negro. He informed them
that the colored typesetter would
remain and that they could go,
if they wanted to.
It does seem so very strange
that those unions will allow a
colored man to join their unions
AMI then object to working with

take mans money as member

submit to the same regulations
that any other member docs, and
those members simply walked

is a colored man, of course we
