THE ANTS CONFER TOGETHER,
And Have Sc Present and Accounted
3Or Who Will Never Vote
for Window.
THE SITUATION VERY CHEERFUL.
The Bar'l Dead Beyond All Hope of
Resurrection.

hepubucanS OF the Legislature held confer
ences yesterday. The Democrats led off,
meeting for the purpose, in the railroad
committee room of the senate at a. m.
Representative Brown, of Blue Earth, was
chosen chairman, and Senator j. N. Castle
secretary. The conference lasted nearly
an hour, and was attended by thirty five
members of the legislature. Short and
stirring speeches were made
by Judge Brown, Senator Castle,
Representative Buck, Judge Wilson,
Representative Gregory and 9th
ers mainly devoted to congratulations for
the position thus far occupied, and the re-
suits they had aided in accomplishing,
and counseling continuance of the same
policy until the senatorial contest should
assume different aspect than at present.
Upon this latter point the conference was
a unit, and though no formal resolution
was adopted, the understanding
when the conference adjourned
was that they should continue
to vote for their nominee, Judge Wilson.
ANTI-wINDoM.
In the proceedings of the joint conven-
ton is call, read just before the adjourn
ment, for meeting of all Republicans
who believe the election of Senator
Window to be undesirable at
the Metropolitan last evening for consul
tation. The call was signed by VIM. H.
Grimshaw, supporting Davis; Ever Samp-
son, Hubbard; e. A. Finch, ,,Dnnnell; G.. G.
Hartley, Kindred; j. Van Dyke, Gilman;
W. P. Sergeant, Farmer; T. Paulson, Hub
bard, and Fl. Anderson, Strait. The an
nouncement was a surprise to the Win
dom men, and large majority of those
opposing him, who had been left entirely
in the dark as to the movement. At first
some of the anti Window were disposed
to ignore the call, thinking it pre-
mature and pregnant with evil, but the re-
Spouse made to it showed that the moving
spirits had ''builded better than they
knew" The call was for o'clock, and
few minutes past that hour the door If the
room in which the conference was held
the same as that used by the Windomites
for their general caucuses- closed behind.
FORTY-FIVE MEMBERS.
Senator Alderman, a supporter of Cole,
appeared for few minutes and made his
regrets, prior engagement preventing
his remaining. Representative Cole,
though present in the lobby, did not enter
the room, fearing that the fact of his being
candidate might, perhaps, prevent
free discussion of the situation. Senator
Crosby, Dunnell adherent, was indis-
posed and could not attend, and four 9TH
ers sent excuses, accompanied by pledges
to stand by the action of the conference,
thus making
FIFTy-Two
present or accounted for, and embracing
supporters Of ali the candidates being
voted for by the anti-Windom Republi-
cans, excepting Judge Start, who, like the
Democrats, propose to stick by their man.
A reference to the detailed vote for senator
in joint convention, with the explanation
above, so nearly shows the attendance, that
the giving of the names here is unneces-
sary. The meeting organized by electing
Senator O'Brien chairman and Represen-
tative Parker secretary. Thus organized
the meeting resolved itself into regular
LOVE FEAST,
and for two hours there was a succession
of speeches, full of rejoicing over the
already accomplished defeat of Window
words of encouragement and advice to stick
until their triumph was made by COM
pletely driving Window absolutely from
the contest and the election of some one
who would more ably represent the Repub
lican party of Minnesota in the national
senate. This speaking was continued un-
til every one of the forty-fve men in the
room had given in their adherence and
pledged himself to stand by his candi-
date, or some candidate of the opposition
until Window was withdrawn. With the
conclusion of the last speech, upon the
suggestion of enSator Blake, the meeting
gave three cheers and tiger for their reso-
luton, and adjourned. As the participants
appeared in the lobby of the hotel their
happy and well satisfied looks plainly told
that they had had a
GOOD TINE,
dAQ SUCH was IuO uAOOfLoIluR IT,
port of all encountered by the
envoy. Senator Blake answered his in
quiry with, "We've had a regular love feast,
and there was great deal of sand shown
sand that sticks"
Representative Cornish said, every one
present had his say, and not one
discordant word was uttered
during the entire evening. 1t has been
a glorious meeting, and has created bond
of union between the different wings of
the opposition that cannot now be bro

Senator Clement, always quiet
and undemonstrative, said the "meet-
ing was an unexpected success. The
feeling manifested by all was full of |
promise. The subject of concentration
was not touched upon, all recognizing the
fact that the time had not yet arrived to
consider that matter"
Senator Clark, one of the |
most determined leaders in
the revolt against the Window
ring rule was iubilant over the success of
the meeting. In answer to the inquiry of
