Minnesota Politics.

The Democratic State Convention reas-
sembled at st. Paul on the 7th, and nomin-
ated the following ticket: For Governor
Henry NJ. Rice; for Lieutenant Governor
Charles w. Nash for Secretary of State
John B. Jones for Treasurer of State
Frank Heyderstadt; for Attorney General
William Lochren.
Ex-senator Rice, the nominee for COVER
nor, was, we believe, warm supporter of
president Lincoln's reelection last year.
The candidate for 1t Governor has served
as quartermaster III the army; the candi-
date for Secretary, was Captain in the Cd
Minnesota Cavalry; and the candidate for
Attorney General is also taken from the
army. A resolution was adopted by the
Convention that, 1--WE recognize in the civil
and military acts of President Johnson, as
they stand out before the world dnring the
darkest period of the nations trial, the
fearless patriot, the able statesman, the
honest man; and that we pledge to his
wise and patriotic measures for the restor-
alton Of the Union our cordial support"

The democrats Of this county met in con-
vention in this village on Tuesday last.
There was not very heavy turn out the

TRUE democrats, % as they showed them
selves by their action. DIR. Van Dusen

Mr.. 0verton, of Avoca, and David McFar-
land, of Highland. Mr.. Overton's chances
were considered good by his friends, but it
was inadvertently stated that he had been
in the army and would. probably vote the
Union Ticket, which, to use a slang phrase,
"knocked him higher than a kite" he only
receiving seven votes the faithful evident
ly being OF the opinion that they were
strong enough to elect their own man, and
consequently would not need to place a
Union man on their ticket. David McFar-
land was the man nominated. For County
Commissioners the Convention nominated
George W. Strong of Miffiin, Joseph Rob
erts of Ridgeway, and Oscar S. LaVake of

the case and gratifying progress made
Testimony has been or will be offered
showing that Harold sent to Canada and
conferred with the rebels since Booths re-.
turn from there. Mrs. Surratt, who seems
to have been one of tho chief lnstigators
and participants, is kept closely guarned,

daughters do not seem TO have been imph.
Gated and will be kept and called upon as
witnesses. One OF Inem is very sick an d
is reported TO have poisoned herself.

Canada and there is little doubt that he will
soon be taken.

but it is believed the Secretary of War
will send an abstract Of the trial to Gen.
Dix after the manner of his war reports.

fence of DR.. Mudd, who set Booths leg,
