FAREWELL DINNER
 TO CHAS. A. TONNE
CITIZENS OF DULUTH EXPRESS THEIR LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THEIR DISTINGUISHED TOWNS MAN--WM. J. BRYAN SPEAKS.

Duluth, Minn., October 16.-Eight hum dred men of all shades of political opin- ion sat down at the farewell banquet ten- dered by Duluth citizen to Charles A. Towne at the armory tonight, while fully 300 ladies were present in the galleries to hear the speeches of Wm. J. Bryan, MT Towne and others after the discussion of the menu.
 The affair was non-partisan and car ried out the intention of the promoters to make 1t testimonial to MT. Towne's personal popularity among his friends and neighbors. Scores of prominent Democrats, however, were present from all parts of the State.
 MT. Bryan's subject was Moral Cour- age" and he took occasion to shower en- comiums on the guest of the evening for his notable display of that quality in 1896 at the time of his spectacular farewell to the Republican party to follow silver.
 He said
 Some may be disposed to stamp the word failure upon the political career of our distinguished guest, but he has set an example that must weigh heavily on the side of civil virtue. He has faced without fiinching fire as hot and he'll ish as ever came from cannon's mouth, and he has won victory greater and more glorious than ever crowned the life of one who fawned at the feet of power or bartered his manhood to secure an of- f1ce" r-r
 MT. Bryan did not inject any politics into his speech, which was brief and di- rected largely to MT. Towne. He said. however, that great issues were at stake; great interests are involved; aye, even our civilization itself, and through us the civilization of the world This nation is a world power; 1t has not acquired It's Influence by war, but for a century its ideas have been permeating the world, and every citizen owes 1t to his country, as well as to hiE generation and posterity. to throw the weight of his influence on the right side of every public question.
