sequence there was decided calm in SEN
atorial matters last evening. True, the
few who remained in the city improved
their time to the best advantage possible,
in private conferences with friends of diff
ferent candidates, in efforts to secure sup
port for their special faYorite when the
FINAL BREAKUP
which is now set down for Wednes-
day next. at the latest. In
this connection it is positively asserted
that following the balloting of Thursday
Window had consultation with J. B. Gill
fillan and two or three others of his staunch
est supporters, at which Window stated
that there was no use in longer attempting
to keep up the deception that any hope
was entertained of his election and de-
handing that the farce of his
candidacy be put an end to by the
WITHDRAWAL OF HIS NAME.
While acknowledging the correctness of
this statement, Gilillan and the others
present pointed out to Mr.. Window that in
the position they had taken as to his candi-
dacy that their political future had been
staked, as we'll as his own, and that he
owed it to them in return for their loyalty,
that he should give them time to consult
together and agree upon some one
whom they might elect, thus retaining con-
troll of the party machinery in the state.
While intimating that he did not take
much stock in the kind of loyalty to his
candidacy that had been shown, Mr..
Window finally consented to allow his
name to be used until the close of the bal
loting yesterday, providing they would
guarantee to hold the support he was then
receiving together. This was promised,
and it was under this agreement that
WINDOWS name was before the joint con-
vention yesterday with his consent. Shortly
after the adjournment yesterday to Tues
day next, Mr.. Window met a part of
the committee of eighteen, or the
GOLD GUARD
as they delight in being called, at room Is,
the old headquarters, Merchants hotel.
Among those present were Gilillan, J. B.
Pillsbury, Langdon, Fletcher, of
Blue Earth, and his namesake
of Hennepin, Stevenson, Green
leaf, Truax, Comstock, Chandler, Hicks.
Collins and two or three others. This con-
ference lasted nearly two hours. What
took place cannot be authoritatively stated
as the actual participants were unusually
close mouthed whenever the GLOBE envoy
approached them, either absolutely refusing
to say anything or answering evas1vely.
There are good grounds for believing,
however, that Window again renewed his
emand for the absolute withdrawal of his
anne, and called upon
J. B. GILFILLAN,
who placed him in nomination,
to make the withdrawal before a
vote should be taken on Tuesday,
adding that with such promise
he should leave for Washington to-day or
tomorrow. The demand, though not I'M
expected, created CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the committee, who again, and
even more strongly than at the Thursday
conference, pointed out to Window the
position in which they would be placed by
such course. By adhering to his fortunes
SO long as they had,
THE OPPOSITION,
they said, while supporting different candi-
dates, had created a feeling which was
shared by the members of all factions, that
to make their victory complete, they
must not be allowed to have any say in
10 10 RI Mo
While they claimed to be confident that
this spirit of revolt against the party
could not be carried to such an extent, it
forced. them to move with great
caution, and aboye all that no
more mistakes be made. Asked by Win
dom who they thought most available, the
answer was that there we're differences OF
opinion upon this point, and it was for
this very reason that it was so important
that he should allow his name to be used
still longer, and give them chance to
agree upon some one. Finally Window
was prevailed upon to withhold the with
drawal of his name
UNTIL WEDNESDAY,
the withdrawal to be made by J. B. Gill
fllan following the first ballot taken on
that day. It is understood that
Window was insultingly indepen-
dent of the wishes of, the friends who had |
stood by him in the contest, and that his
consent to aid them in their dilemma by |
allowing the use of his name any longer,
was given with the utmost ill grace,
show of temper and want of
gratitude that may, perhaps, be accounted
for by the fact, according to rumoE,
that he has in his pocket an offer of the
presidency of leading New York bank at
a salary of $4,000 year, which he has
decided to accept, and that Immediately
after the expiration of his senatorial SER
vice, March next, he will, fguratively
speaking, shake the Minnesota dust from
off his feet for good.
GLOBE envoy encountered Speaker
Fletcher in the Merchants corridor and
asked him what he had to say relative to
the charge of Mr.. WINDOWS organize
Pioneer Press-that he had been treacher-
Gus to Mr.. WINDOWS cause. Mr.. Fletcher
replied that it needed no answer. His
actions spoke for him more emrhaticaliy
than ANYTHING he cOuId saw and he had M
