Mr.. Tewne has made thorough cam
vass of California. speaking at all the
principal places and the California papers
are full of praises of his own personal
efforts and of what he has accomplished.
Since he went West he has apparently
been doing the same sort of work SIS Mr..
Bryan, speaking day and night and to
immense audiences. The Democratic
state central committee is hard pushed
with requests for Mr.. Towne and he has
been written to, tntercepttng him at
Hastings, Neb., to know just what can
be expected Of him in this state The
committee want at least ten days from
him in Minnesota and the national COM
mittee have been inft&med of this.

Of his meetings say that nothing like It
has ever been known on the Pacific coast
both in the attendance at his meetings
and the effect of. the same.
The Bryan and Lind portrait banner,
which was greeted with so much en-
thusiasm in the Twin City meetings
Monday evening", has history. The
original was the Bryan and Towne BAN
ner taken to Kansas City for the Silver
Republicans national convention. The
Towne portrait Of the same was removed
by Mr.. Corser and presented to Mrs. G.
j. Towne, the mother of Hon. Charles A.
Towne. In the place OF this Mr.. Cerser
substituted a magnificent portrait Of
Gov. Lind, produced by the Sherer. COM
pany, Minneapolis. The banner was
borne in the st Paul and Minneapolis
meetings by Nathan Greenblat and Jack
Pfeffner, with Secretary Garfield and G.
w. Stanton, Of Appleton, as special
guard.
The Democrats of Winona and the
First district, instead of being dismayed
or disturbed over the loss of the Herald
from being Hannaized, feel that their
situation is really improved. The pur-
chase of the Herald by Republicans when
there is SO able Republican paper there,
and assisted, as Republicans are, by the
so-called Independent, which they regard
| as a confession of weakness and as
measure Of how Tawney is scared. The
Democrats have arranged for a daily
paper to succeed the Herald at once,
publication to commence probably next
Saturday, which paper being new and
full of fire, they think will do more good
than the old paper could possibly have
done.
The beautiful floral piece used in both
| the st. Paul and Minneapolis meetings,
Monday evening, was the gift of Nathan
Greenblat, Of st. Paul When it
was being taken TO Minneapolis Mr.
Bryan in admiring the same, mentioned
the fact that this was the sixteenth an
niversary of his marriage Mr.. Green
blat therefore, turned the floral piece
over 70 Mr.. and Mrs Bryan, sending by
express to her at Lincoln, Neb. The
same suffered somewhat at the hands of
enthusiastic devotees of Mr.. Bryan. by
persons, especially ladies', who sur
reptitiously and otherwise took roses and
leaves as souvenirs. The piece. however,
was restored by ]. F. Lempke. ST Paul,
and the flowers went on last evening ac-
companied byIa suitable letter
