The annual banquet of the Lincoln cltiS last evening was the most largely attends of any In the history of the organization. Covers were laid for 300 and the ,lining room of the Windsor, was elaborately decorated for the occasion in the national colors. A large picture of l.ircoln was flanked by large American flags. In front of the speakers was a massive bouquet of roses. Seated at the head of the long tables veif: To.istmaster Edward G. Rogers. John W". Kinehout, president of the club; C. A. A.

The Minnesota State band rendered sev eral selections and the invocation was of fered by Rev, W. W. Lewis. After the feast President John "W. Finehout, who delivered the address of welcome, said that Republican liberty was based on Christianity and must be fought with a eword whose name is principle. Toastmaster E. G. Rogers said In part: "Our "club and its membership have been derided and vilified for the alleged - fflwnohgif of Mhmh^m Lincoln.

V'The doctrine 'that to the victor be longs the spoils' had its origin, growth and greatest development In the Demo cratic party. The civil service law will never be repealed by Republican votes It ticywever, represents no governmental principle, but is a mere governmental regulation, subject to modification and change, us good judgment and experi ence may suggest. "It lai however, a basic and fundamental principle of the Lincoln club that, sub ordinate to and within the limits of th« luw the competent and gallant men who carry the Republican banner to vic tory are entitled to and should receive the honors and emoluments which hon estly and Justly follow and attend suc cess Thai, in my judgment,- is perfect politics, and, I almost said, wise states manship. , . "Two great and crowning principles we should always have in view. "There should be no entangling alli ances with foreign powers or nations. "The Monroe doctrine must be upheld and maintained. "The Monroe doctrine is In no sense founded upon international law. It 1s an American doctrine, and rests upon our power to nv^-^ain it. The time Is not far distant, I Imagine, when It will be aggressively challenged. We must be prepared to meet that challenge by up building and maintalng a navy equal, if not superior, to the best. A large stand- Ing army is not essential." j >)m I-. <Jehan awakened considerable enthusiasm by singing "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean." The audience joined heartily in the chorus. Then Mr. Rogers introduced Charles A. A. McGee, of Milwaukee, Wis., the orator of the evening, who said In part: "The event which we commemorate, al v/iiys one of importance to the American mind and to the lovars <>f 'iberty. «s- Bumes new proportion1 * tonitrhl an<l b9 comes an oeei.-.iou of more than passing lnterrsr, of more than ordinary impor ts m ■>. It brings the present face to face with ths pas:, it compares the ideals and policies of ths exemplars of euriy Kf pubucanism with the ilonls and policies vf the leaders of today. Trained in the rough school of advoisity h« brought t<i his great woik a mind and body per lectly disciplined, in perfect accord. "In a materialistic a^e fighting for wealth ani power. Lincoln emphasized Individual worth and personal manhood. Now in civil affairs, and now on the fields ot battle, he gathered men about him, and comforting, directing, cheering, taught them the great principle of service. Into the discord of material life he breathed the soft, sweet harmony of the golden rule and taught that man's greatest good is found In the service of his fellows. Freedom cried to him from the convulsed Up:-- of her numberless martyrs, nor criad In vain: the Union was saved, the slave was freed. In the hour of his magnani mous triumph, crowned by the gratitude of millions, forgetting the past, hailing the approaching era or peace, 'with malice toward none and charity for all,' this man of the people, who for years had seen death stalk past him and was not afraid, v.-as cut down by the bullet of the assas sin, dying as ho had lived, for humanity, mourned by his nation, worshiped as its savior. There were more polished men than Lincoln; few so honeft. More cele brated statesmen; scarce one so good. He emphasized the simple virtues heaven gave to men." M. D. Grover was billed to speak on the •'lmprrlalism of Commerce." but as lie remarked, the hour was getting late find he wanted to be excused. A general demand made him continue on his feet, end he said in part: "I am liere tonight principally because j am a Republican. I am a Republican because I was taught to be a Republican by Iwy father.

It has been alleged that the colored brother ia a disturbing element to good government in the South; yet he has been urged not to leave the South, because his immigration to the West, where he had been invited, was endan gering the success of the cotton fields of Georgia. I see thai an acquaintaii'- yt mine, generally known as "Pegleg Will iams." was recently Imprisoned In a Georgia town to prevent being mobbed by the planters, because he was shipping too many colored men who raise the cot ton cut of the state into Arkansas and Texas In Kentucky the colored brother voted very largely for Taylor. Therefor* Taylor's election should be declared void. In 'Louisiana and Mississippi the colored American do«s hot seem to have a show. In fact, if the returns are to relied upon, there are not many people wno care much about the elective franchise in those states. Elections there are purely scientific—the whole problem has been re — I duced to a mathematical science, and looking at it from that standpoint—science —elections are more economical; that is, the burden upon the taxpayers has been greatly reduced." Mr. Evans compared the vote for con gressmen in each district in Minnesota, Michigan and South Carolina to show that in the North it took 512,592 voters to elect fourteen men to congress, while In ths South It took only 58,879 to elect the same number. In conclusion, Mr. Evans said: . . "It seems to me that although this is a deplorable condition its solution will necessarily have to be solved by the peo ple of the South, and their better judg ment, justice, love of home and desire for good, honest government will be in tho future lead them to see the error of suoh methods."

Lucius Hubbard, commander of the order, presided, and with him at the table were Archbishop Ireland, Gen. Wade, Gen. Sanborn, Rev. John Sinclair, Mayor Kiefer and other prominent dltl. zens. The "salute to the colors" preceded an Invocation by Chaplain General Robert N. Adams, after which an excellent menu was discussed. Following the ban quet Gen. Hubbard welcomed the guests, calling attention to the fact that among these who had gathered to honor the birthday of the greatest statesman and leader of the century were many who had personally known him, and others who had been under hia orders. He spoke feelingly of the love of the entire legion for tho man who had directed the affairs of the nation through its most trying period. Gen. John B. Sanborn spoke briefly of President Lincoln's life, sketching his career from his log cabin birthplace through his early life to his advance to the highest position within the gift of the people. He dubbed him knight among statesmen and prince among men. Judge Daniel Fish, of Minneapolis, eulogized the hero of the evening in an address which paid minute attention to hi 3 personal characteristics. Said he In part: "God help me, I am proud that as a tow-headed boy I was permitted to carry a Union musket, man's size, and, with aching head and wobbling knees, helped to carry the flag into all the places where Father Abraham desired it to go. You, gentlemen, ought to be proud to be con temporary with the greatest that the na tion has produced, the greatest In person al influence and official power, the great est in sacrifice and service, immeasurably the greatest In public harm averted and in national benefits achieved. "Lincoln was intensely plain. His birth and lack of schooling, the simple life he led, the strange mixture of benevolence, humor and indomitable will, and, finally, his tragic death, all have contributed to make dear the most singular nature that was ever unfolded to general admiration. The history of his country was his own. He was the wisest man of the century, and ruled the nation by a right of king ship that was truly divine." In an eloquent and fitting tribute to the martyred president, Hiram F. Stevens said in part: "It is fitting that in the state which was the first to establish this holiday, in the city where the name of the first vol unteer in the great army of freedom was enrolled, in the presence of the last survivor of the gerat "war governors,' that the Loyal Legion should celebrate the day which gave to the republic, to freedom and to the world, the priceless life and memory of Abraham Lincoln. To say that he was raised up to meet a | crisis is to state but half the truth. I Loving tho Union above all else, he felt the abiding obligation of the constitution. "The closing lines of his first inaug ural, with which he concluded a firm but pathetic protest against secession, were as touching as they were prophetic: 'The mystic chords of memory, stre^chln^ from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearth3tone all over this bread land, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as surely Viey will b?, by the batter an gels of our natures.' Entrusted with the supreme command of a vast military es tablishment, covering a field of operations of great extent, he proved himself master of the situation. He who seeks the em bodiment of genius of the Union, finds it in the apotheosis of the Great Eman cipator." ■••- Missouri Yonns Republican!*.

FOITRTH WARD DEMOCRATS. J. M. Hawthorne Addresses a Large Gathering in Pfeifer'a Hall. A largely attended meeting of the Fourth ward Democracy was herd last evening at Pfeifer's hall, Wabasha and Eighth streets. John B. Covington was in the chair, and Secretary William O'Gorman was elected to the office of treasurer also, following the resignation of Mr. Matt Koch. ■ J. M. Hawthorne, of the Sixth ward, made an eloquent address, the principal topic touched upon being the character of Abraham LJncoln. •■ Democrats, he said, were certainly patriotic^ for no one, not even the members of .the Lincoln club, were ready to do—greater honor to the memory of the mfcrtyrfed president than were Democrats j£tl oVer the country. They were ready at alFtimes to do honor to the memory of the man who had struck the shackles" from millions of slaves. And no man had been more vili fied and abused in his day by certain Republicans than had this same Lincoln. Who were now <j^Jled r upon throughout the country to celebrate; the anniversary of this great man}» bl«th? Hannacrats. Men who had no sympathy whatever to day with the doctrinesj taught and ex emplified by LineoJii. at'(Applause.) Mr. Hawthorne quotedßfrom Lincoln's Get tysburg speech. Lincoln had been the hero of the masses True, he had been abused, but his principles survive in the hearts of the people.- Lincoln was firm, but not obstinate. He had been con demned for having interfered with what was called the morale of the army. He had pardoned soldiers condemned to death for having slept on their post. Mr. Haw thorne read an affecting letter from Lin coln to Mrs. Bixby, who had lost five eons, killed in the Union army. The speaker deplored the un-American ism which forced a war of conquest on the Filipinos, and refused a note of sym pathy for the struggling Boer republic, and paid a glowing tribute to Senator George Frisbee Hoar, which excited sev eral rounds of applause. Mr. Hawthorne was followed by Louis Cornlck, who spoke On local Issues. He said that a number of Republicans had conceded defeat to their city ticket this spring. The present municipal executive had succeeded in getting his party in a snarl. He had swung the broadax and heads had fallen. Today the men re moved from office were side by side with Democrats ready to light for the suc cess of the Democratic ticket. All differ ences in the ranks ot the local Democ racy had been adjusted and harmony pre vailed. Other speakers followed Mr. Cornlck on the local issues of the impending cam- paign. m HALF A HUNDRED ENROLLED. Company C Will Again Assume Ita Place In the First Regiment. Company C, First, regiment, national guard, will again become an active branch of the national guard within a few weeks. At a meeting held last evening fifty members were enrolled, five more than the number/required to pass muster. With the exception-of-^a half dozen the present membership of- the company is comprised of men who.,'served with the Thirteenth regiment in the Philippines. Those men who were not formerly mem. bers of the guard hay? been Invited to put in their applications for enlistment. Another meeting will be held at a late* date, when all plans for the reorganiza tion will be perfected and a new set of officers felected. . ■ Company C enjoys the distinction of taking more of its old members to the Philippines than any company of the old First regiment. Thirty out of fifty two men gave their services and served during the campaign in the Philippines. The Red Wing company is said to come next in the percentage of men who went to the Orient.

C, in Brooklyn, in the meeting of George Gardiner, of Lowell, and Jimmy Handler, of Newark, who were scheduled to box twenty-live rounds at 133 pounds. Gardiner won in the twelfth round by knocking Handler out with a blew on the jaw. Handler at Jirst had been the favorite, at 10 to 7, but Gardner became favorite at 5 to 4.
