place in 1904, and the National Dem

Congressman John Shafroth of Col
orado, man of high grade of elo-
quence, took Senator Cormack's place
on the program and spoke extempor-
aneously on Jefferson and Lincoln"
the subject assigned to the Tennessee
Senator.
Senator Pettigrcw or South Dakota
was to have eXcoriated Senator Han,
ma in response to the toast, "From
Lincoln Down to Hanna" but he could
not be present on account of sickness.
Hon. William j. Bryan of Nebraska
discussed Jefferson" He said that
Jefferson was the only statesman who
formulated Democratic code apple
able to all times. He was born an
aristocrat but his labors were all for
the people. He was called demo-
gogue, yet he wrote the declaration
of Independence, attacked the laws
OF primogeniture, opposed the estab-
lished church, condemned slavery, de-
fled the financial influence of the Tor,
les and organized the Democratic
party. AT this time said Mr.. Bryan
when the money changers are in alb
solute control of the government and
are shaping the nations financial pol
icy in their own interests without re-
gard for the welfare of the people at
large, we need to recall Jefferson's
scathing arraignment of those who de-
manded the surrender into their hands
of the sovereign functions of the gov
ernment."
Mr.. Bryan declared that the safety
of the republic lay in policy that
would drive the banks out of the gov
erning business.
Hon. John p. Altgeld of Illinois, an
swered the toast, Jackson" Governor
Altgeld made one of the most extended
speeches of the evening. A great part
of it was an arraignment of ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland and President McISin-
ley. Cleveland he referred to as n
Standard Oil and stock jobbing presi-
dent and Mckinley he denounced as
tool of the trusts. The conclusion
of his speech was II denunciation of
the Cleveland Democrats who want to
reorganize the party.
Senator Chas. A. Towne Of Mime
sofa, the last speaker made one of the
most eloquent speeches ever heard in
the auditorium. His defense of the
Democratic party for doing honor to
the memory and principles of Lincoln
was most impressive. He expressed
hope for the ultimate triumph of the
principles of Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln.

These other men are gentlemen, too,
though they every one work for a

and high collars to make man a

Years ago, 1t is claimed, Irwin Dague,
recently sentenced to the penitentiary
for illegal voting, gave note to one
of his neighbors for S27. 1t became
due, was not paid and could not be
collected This neighbor visited Daguc
at the county jail the other day. MAY
be you remember how you beat me out
of S27, Irwin" the former neighbor
said Il just thought I'd come in and
tell you that men are pretty likely to
get what they deserve sooner OF later"
%
There is another story told about
Dague. He was arrested one time
charged by neighbor with selling
diseased meat Before the case came
to trial he went to the neighbor and
settled the case. Then he turned
around and brought proceedings
against the neighbor charging him
with violating the law by settling a
criminal case for money. 1t cost the
man about 500 to settle that charge
Dague made nothing by 1t, but lie had
his revenge.

Columbus Banquet At
tended by 5000.
Eloquent Speeches by the Leaders
-.-No Reorganization.

Columbus, o., Feb. l3.-(Spl.) THE
coin League and the attendant gath
ering and conference of Democrats
was attended by 5000 people.
The leaders present We're: William
j. Bryan, ex-senator Charles A.
Towne, of Minnesota; ex-Gov. Alt
of Columbus; Congressman David De
Almond, of Missouri; Congressman
King, Of Utah; ex-Gov. Osborn, Of
Wyoming; Congressman John Sha-
froth, of Colorado; Hon. Alexander
Trop, of Connecticut and n number
of lesser lights.
But little disposition was shown
among those present to meet the sug-
gestlOnS for a reorganization of the
Democratic party and the fighting of
future campaigns on lines differing
from those that marked the campaigns
Altgeld declared emphatically in an
interview that talk of reorganizing
the Democratic party came with i'll
grace from men who, as he said, had
been traitors to the party, who had
made 1t so obnoxious that the people
spat upon 1t.
Mr.. Bryan did not use quite such
vigorous terms AZ the Ex-Governor of
Illinois, but he expressed practically
the same opinion, saying: The Dem.
ocrats are not engaged In talking re-
organization. That talk comes from
are able to air their views through
Republican newspapers. Democrats
who have BEEN faithful 10 their party
principles find no time To discuss re-
organization. The Republican papers
are doing all the talking on the sub
ject."
Congressman John j. Lentz, the
founder of the League, acted as toast
master, In his opening remarks,
which were short, he indulged In the
following bit of ALTERATION; ''ln the
last campaign, Drained with brutal
blgotry, pockets plethoric with public
plundcr, hearts hardened with hellish
hate, souls satuated with stupid super
stiiion, all consplred TO dethrone rea'
son aud right, 10 dishonor and destroy
the republic"
The first speaker after the toast
master was Hon. David A, DeArmond,
of Missouri, who responded to the
toast, "Our Duty" He declared that
the duty of the party Is TO stand by
the principles for which it has been
fighting. In referring to the talk of
reorganization he said that the party
Is already organized, The platform
and nominations of 1904 he said, must
necessarily go over to 1904, to be at
tended to in the light OF that year,
mingled with the light of 1896 and

moved to commit the bill to joint
conference. When this motion came
to n vote Mr.. Serene Il, Payne, one
of the Republican members from New
York, disgusted with the duplicity of
his Republican colleagues, voted with
the Democrats, and the motion was
carried by one vote, much to the cha
grin of Gen. Grosvenor and the faith

sham.
"The Democrats have captured the

only public comment the confused
Grosvenor could make upon the fan

Thanks to the independence of Mr.
