With the advance guard of members
have come the usual army of seekers after
the various clerical and other po-
sitions pertaining to the two
houses. While the members and the
candidates fol position are toll
erably we'll distributed among the several
hotels, the general headquarters is at the
Merchants, and Notwithstanding yesterday
was the Sabbath day, the buzzing and
button-holeing was vigorously prosecuted
from an early hour in the morning until
late at night. So far the principal fight is
for the
SENATE POSITIONS,
for each one of which
several candidates have already
been developed, with rumorS of
still others to appear. For secretary,
Charles W. Johnson, of Minneapolis, who
has held the position for several terms
seems to have a walk away. For assistant
secretary there are five candidates on the
SIOuAus VIZ NOO' w. DuSWSIl3 = dIlOdulO
county; M. Thomas, Dakota; W. H. Gran
dali, Steele; A. H. Bartlett, Freeborn, ard
Fl. B. Willis, st. Paul. Mr..
Bartlett was a member of the territorial
legislature, and has since been probate
judge of Freeborn county. Mr.. Buswell
held the position few years back, proved
very efficient, and seems to have the strong
est following.
For sergeant-at-arms there are also five
applicants, VIZ Chas. A. Rose, of Mower;
G. NJ. REESE, Kandiyohi; j. A. James, Man
kato; Thomas George, Lac qui Parle,
and A. o. Redding, Brown.
One of the three first named will probably
win the prize. The position of assistant
| sergeant is equally we'll sought after, the
| candidates so far developed being K. 81.
| Helling, New Ulm, an ex-member of the
| house; Andrew Swenson, Blue Earth; G. F.
Clark, Chicago; Jacob Westby, Goodhue,
and W. II. Millen, Murray, with the chances
apparently favoring the first named.
For enrolling clerks the contest appears
| to be confined to J. P. jacobson, of st.
Paul, former commissioner of statistics,
| and W. S. Woolridge, of Olmsted Mr..
Jacobson feels confident of his selection.
For engrossing clerk the contest lies
| between I. S. Berry, Fillmore A. H. Ber-
! tram, Wright, and A. P. Bryant, Steele.
| Mr.. Bertram says he will get there.
For the chaplaincy, the choice lies be-
tween Rev. Robert Smith, St. Paul; Rev. E.
| R. Lathrop, of Austin, and Rev. Saunders,
of LIE Sueur, all of whom have held the po-
| sition in former years, Rev. Smith being
| the last incumbent.
THE HOUSE.
So far as can be ascertained, Hon. Loren
Fletcher is to have no opposition
! to his reelection as speaker,
the candidacy of the Hon.
| Gordon E. Cole having been killed during
the period of incubation by the support Of
| the corrupt Pioneer Press.
! For the position of chief clerk, the can
didates are J. R. Howard, of Stearns. who
had the position at the last session, and
| Robert Deakin, of ST. Paul, his assistant.
| Mr.. Howard says he will
be clerk, and the outlook is that
he is speaking by the book.
| For sergeant-at-arms, the candidates so
far mentioned are F. q. Dayton, of Wash
ington, and A. Swenson, of Blue Earth,
with Dayton as the coming man. For as
| sistant sergeant, the only name SO far
mentioned is that of ]. G. Zieske,
Brown county, an ex-member, Chas.
L. Lien, of Goodhue, and
la Mr.. Bsrgrof, of Fillmore,
are also apparently playing lone hands,
the former for enrolling and the latter for
engrossing clerk, but both will undoubtedly
have plenty of opposition before the states
are finally made up
For the position of postmaster lively
struggle is in progress between E. W. Wade,
st. Paul; D. G. Sanborn, Mower; D. l..
Bingham, Red wood and A. D. Sergeant of
Rice county.
For chaplain of the house Rev. DR.. Dana
ofSt. Paul is the Leading candidate.
THE sENAToRsHIP.
The question of the succession to Win
dom IS United States senator, is point
upon which nearly all the Members at pres
! ent in the city decline to be interviewed. /.
