He Announces his Intentions to Stick to
the senatorial Contest.
St. Paul Press, 18th,
Senator Window spent Saturday aftef-
noon in Minneapolis in consultation,
it is said, with his faithful friends. Messrs.
Fletcher and j. B. Gilfllan,
and not few others. The general re-
suit of the conference, although that, as
we'll as its details, was not given the re-
porters. was to fight his battle out on
the present line if it takes all winter.
Mr.. Window took tea with Col. King
and returned to st. Paul on the7 o'clock
train, going directly to his room at the
Metropolitan. The canard had made
some headway to the effect that the
senator had gone to Minneapolis to take
his departure from there for Washington,
he having given up the contest, and in.
structed his friends to withdraw his
name after the first ballot Tuesday. To
ascertain, If possible, the truth of the
general assertion that q withdrawal was
impending, q Pioneer Press reporter
sent his card to Senator WINDOWS room
Saturday evening, with the result that
he was politely invited to come up. The
senator was found reclining on sofa
and looking meditstively at the fire on
the CRATE. After exchange of greetings
the duty of the errand was broached
plainly; and without hesitation Mr..
Window answered every question pro
pounded to him.
"Senator, have you seen statement
in this mornings Globe in regard to o
meeting between yourself and the eau.
Gus committee Thursday, when you pro-
posed to withdraw from the senatorial
contest2"

"Is the report true?"
"The report in the Globe this morning
is not true. Tread it, and failed to find
any truth in it, except the statement
that there was meeting of the commit
tee, which occurs almost every day. /

my friends with reference to their wishes;
and, 20 fer as know, they are unani.

solicitation of my friends to consult

at the last election, and by q decided
majority the republican party expressed
{ preference for myself. I have received
the almost unanimous nomination of q
decided majority of the republicans in
the present Legislature. I have also, al
different times, received the votes OF
more than . majority Of the entire legis'
lature. Under these circumstances
have reason to expect an election, and
have no intention to retire from the
contest 90 long as the friends who
placed me in nomination desire me to
remain ss their candidate. Ny sup
porters represent the organization OF
the republican party, and so long al
they desire 10 maintain its integrity
