Speaker Cannon, who waa Invited to the dinner, sent the following letter: Tf I could give you a sentiment for this occasion it would be the patience of Lincoln and the great and lasting re sults from the exercise of that rare quality of human nature, coupled with sober common sense, in a period of In tense excitement which James Russell Lowell describes In these words: " 'At first he was ao alow that he tired out all those who see no evidence of progress except In the blowing up Of the engines: then he was so fast that he took the breath away from those who think there Is no getting on safely while there , is a spark tof fire under the boilers.' . .. . .1,-' :'-!,. tv' v Cannon Urges Kiddle Coarse.

At the Lincoln day dinner here, tonight Vice President Sherman, In an eloquent eu logy of the martyred president, said -"Greatprsldents hava '-come- and gone; great generals have achieved vic tories that have moved the world to praise and thanksgiving; great states men hava gathered for us fruita of poll- lies ana uureia or world respect, which nave given us momentary , pride and moved us well nigh to national egotism. But above and beyond all In the proces sion or the great men of our past his tory stands Lincoln. "Lincoln, not seeking greatness, yet tne greatest or an; Lincoln, tried by fire, tempted by calls of what seemed hu manity; Lincoln, the gentle, yet holding true the course of the ship of state amid the moat fearful carnage of strife ever Inflicted, his heart glowing with sympathy and sorrow and hla gate long ing for the sight of the olive branch of peace hid by the tempestuous clouds of war." ,.' , . : . i' ... .- , :.. LIJCAL OPTION IS BRYAN'S PLEA (By tha International Xews Prvlo.) - , Lincoln, Neb. Feb. 12. William X Bryan has come out for county option In Nebraska. He takea steps In advance of this and declares Democracy must di vorce Itself from the liquor Interests; because an alliance with the saloon can generally be regarded as an alliance with vice. The saloon, he says. Is constantly used to debauch politics and to prevent the ; intelligent consideration of public questions. The liquor, interests, he de claresf made .themselves odious at the last session of the Nebraska legislature by preventing: the submission ,of tha ini tiative and referendum. Jr ; ; ; Mr. Bryan's pronouncement will ap pear as an editorial in the forthcom ing issue of bis Commoner under the heading, 'The Liquor Question in Nebraska."

This was T. J.

He was re warded with fair applause, but not In such volume as greeted former Senator Charles W. Fulton in extolling party rule. And no one mentioned the nam of Roosevelt ' On of th feature of the evening wa a long letter from George II.

He said that whetfevef majority rule Is sacrificed It will carry the party to ruin as sure as' the sun rises, After arousing wild applause by his appeal for "government by the mi Jorlty, through their representatives,' he remarked that he was not to make a political speech and relapsed Into th topic of his speech. ; :; Judge Butler and Charles th Carey, two other speakers, also gave sidewis boosts for th assembly. , S.

A splendid banquet was served befor the floodgates of oratory were turned loose, and the speaking did not begin until 10 o'clock. , '; v. Ex-Senator Fulton began by portray ing the trying situation that confronted Lincoln In responding to "Lincoln, the President," cpmparing the situation at the opening of ills term with that of Washington at the beginning of th na tion's : history. Waablngton, he said, possessed th confidence and veneration of all the people.1 Lincoln came , to power with some renown from his ex traordinary addresses and his debates with Douglas, but he did not possess any. considerable experience In public life, lacked the advantages of close as sociation with the public 'men of the time, and only, a few had' any concep tion of his great ability and fewer still had confidence in his capacity to pilot the ship of ; Stat through th . tem pestuous sea that confronted It . The " speaker declared that , had u convention that nominated Lincoln for seen, what : violence would result from the election of a Republican president It would hava named any one of several others, 'and ' the nation felt reassured that such men as Seward and Chase were selected for the cabinet Yet Se- ward showed hla Incapacity for the presidency - when, on month arter the administration had been '- m power, tie wrote a letter i suggesting that- th UJnlted States provoke a conflict with some other nation to distract attention from the threatened Civil war, It was Lincoln who rejected the proposal and prevented a lasting stain on national honor. , . , t - ' - . After his diversion on political par ties, Fulton paid a fine tribute to the martyred president declaring . that Jils the. most splendid figure in history, He compared the fame of Xlncoln to a comet which brightens as it nears the un, brightening ever as time wheels onward, and said that whatever future history , has In store, no nobler name will be written than the name of Lin coln.

Cleeton In an ornate addreia, He sketched th career of th great emancipator from the days of humility and ehill penury to days of power. ; He declared Lincoln to be inexplicable from the early setting of his life, and gave an eloquent summing up of the war presi dent's sterling qualities of character, ? Circuit Judge. R. R. Butler of Condon made the hit of the evening by his elo quent word picture of 'Lincoln, the.Ora tor." He drew an illustration from the addreas at Gettysburg as compared with th scholarly speech of Edward Everett on the same occasion. He sounded a note of "party solidarity" from th ca reer of Lincoln, and shied an oratorical brick at those who "play th part of th wolf In sheep's clothing." . ' Judge Butler caused a . laugh at the outset at the expense of Judge W. N.1 Gatens, saying he was about to begin with "Fellow Republicans," but, having noted the presence of Judge Gatens, would change and say' "Fellow non partisans."" - ', A . . ' - Charles H.
