SATURDAYS Quiet.

The Distinguished COMMITTEES OF Mime

Window Coming,
Last evening was one OF the quietest
about the hotels since the inauguration of
the struggle for the succession Of Boss
Window in the United States senate. In
the afternoon some half dozen Of the
leading spirits of the committee of safety
appointed by the Window caucus Friday
evening, in which we're of course
included Senators Gilfiilan and Pills5ury
Of the Minneapolis delegation, held brief
conference IN the Window headquarters at
the Merchants, heretofore presided over
by Brother-in-la Douglas and his associate

III control. 1t the same time it was ac-
knowledged that Mr.. Window could not
afford to break loose from these parties en-
tireiy, and the question with the commit
tee was as to how they could reach mid
die ground, by which the officeholders
could be kept in line and at the same time
eliminated from any active participation
in the management of the canvass here
after.
Upon this latter point the committee
were unit, and it was decided that while
it would be better to be moderate in point
ing out where errors had been made. that
Mr.. Window must be given to understand
that either these officials were to withdraw
entirely from any connection with the
management hereafter, or the committee
would resign, and refuse to be bound any
longer by caucus dictation.
Having settled this point, the conference
broke up, and soon after the Minneapolis
delegation, and a few other
supporters of Window living in close
proximity 70 St. Paul, left for their homes.

Reports disagree as to the time when
Window will reach st. Paul in answer
to the Save Us or we sink" telegram
of his Minneapolis friends, some saying
he will arrive to-day, and others not until
tomorrow, but it is positively asserted
that he will be here before another ballot
can be taken. The effect of his personal
presence was commented on very general
ly yesterday by partisans of all factions,
and it is notable fact that outside of the
Minneapolis spirits who inspired the tele-
gram of the Window supporters, the opin-
ION was almost unanimous that it was the
most suicidal move that had yet been made,
and that its only result; in the end, would
be drive support, which had been loyal so
far, away from him, and also render it i'm
possible for his friends to name
his successor. Had Mr.. Window come here
at first, these parties say, it would be moth
ing but what other candidates have done
before him, and be might have been able
to do some good. But to send for him now,
when his defeat is virtually accomplished,
looks too much as if it had been de-
termined to try and bulIdoze
his election through by
the wholesale promise of Office, the free use
of money and general acknowledgements
which many who have conscientiousIy sup
ported him thus far will revolt.
The antis generally hail his coming with
qualification, declaring that it was
the only thing needed to insure
the success Of their revolt from
boss rule, and they propose to have the as
surance,of several who have supported his
candidacy thus far that if he really does
put in an PreG,anoo, from that minute
they can % leGed upon for assistance in
securing his defeat.
tt was whispered about the Merchants
hotel lobby last evening, that
several OF the leading spirits in the
different factions were in consultation.
Several of them were seen at a late hour,
out nothing could be got from them of
such conference, all, without exception,
declaring there was no change in the stu
alton; that they were well pleased with the
outlook, and that at the
proper time, the ants would name the
next United States senator, but that that
time had not come.
The Democrats held no conference and
knew of no new developments.
