Political Matters.


ST. PAUL, September Judge Ii. c.
Waite, of Mankota, was to-day noml-
mated at Owatanna RS the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the First Dis
trict. The nomination of Judge Waite
in the First District, rs already tcle-
graphcd, is regarded by the Democrats
as the certain defeat of Durell, the pres
cnt member of Congress, who wns nom
mated and is making an active canvass.
The Republican politicians confess that
there Is great Generalization in the First
District because of DurcllS record on the
salary grab. and that his district, which
has heretofore been undoubtcd is now
doubtful. In the Second District no nom
nations have yet been made, but II. B..
Strait, the present member, will probably
receive the Republican nomination. In
the Third district very hot canvass
is drawing near its close. 1t is now gen
orally conceded that VIM. :. King will
beat the present member, J. I. Averill,
in the convention. Charges of corrup-
