thnsiGssts by All Glasses.

thnsidss,s by AH Glasses.
In Minneapolis yesterday the prevail
ing topic was respecting the Democratic
ticket. Democrats were jubilant, and
promise a grand jollifcation meeting in
Turner hall, but have not decided upon
the night. Republicans busted themselves
in circulating reports, purport-
ing to come from Hon.
W. W. McNair that he would positively de-
cline the nomination, and the evening pa
pers brought out interviews with ,Republi-
cans to convince the people that the candi-
dacy of a Democrat in Minnesota is abso-
lutely hopeless. G. M. Loring, defeated
by Mayor Ames little over year ago by
1,800) is reported as having said he
did hot think the Demo
Gratis stood ghost of a chance
Little William Fletcher predicted Hub
bard's majority at from $4,000 to 10000.
On the other hand the enthusiasm of the
Democrats incresser as the hours pass by.
They all believe Hubbard the weakest man
the Republicans could have trotted out
and that NcNair is the strongest man in
the Democratic ranks.
A GLOBE representative met A. 7.
Ankeny, and that gentleman, who is pretty
well posted in politics, remarked that in
his opinion Mr.. McNair would poll 5000
majority in Hennepin county and 1000 in
Ramsey county. He believed Frazee would
take care OF the upper district,
and that there is reason
able show for success. The temperance
men will stand by Holt As between the
Democratic and the Republican nominees
there can be little choice from tn cir stand
point, and Gilman is name which affects
them like an emetio.
Edgar Nash, a Republican, said I will
vote for McNsir, as will thousands of Re-
publicans.
Theodore Basting believed that if the
Democrats were able to win victory under
any possible circumstances now is the
golden opportunity" Everything is fav-
orable. Hubbard is unpopular and bit
ter pill TO Hennepin. He was personally
acquainted with Frazee, and faithfully be-
lisved him to be one of the strongest,
most popular and true Democrats in Min
nesota.
B. F. Nelson was rejoiced. "It is the
best ticket ever raised in Minnesota" ne
said. McNair is the man to change the
politics of the state.
Mr.. Janney was delighted with the
bright prospects of the party.
Anthony Kelly said he liked the ticket
throughout, but said he was just now out
of politics.
Judge Atwater is ready to put on the cam
paign harness and shout himself hoarss
from the platform in the cause of Mr.
McNair.
Judge Seagrave Smith thought Mr..
McNair will accept, and believed that he
can be elected this fall. There are a great
many business men who will vote
for him outside of political
reasons. The outlook is now even better
than when Otis ran against Austin, and it
is well known fact that the Democrats
might have elected him had the proper
exertion been made. Organization of the
most thorough character is essential, and
if the Democrats will then only do their
duty success is probable.
Judge Beebe said all Democrats are
thoroughly satisfied with the
whole ticket, and Republicans have
expressed an intention to work for its sue
cess. Gov. Hubbard has given cause for
the dissatisfaction manifested by many of
his constituents and his defeat will not be
a very difficult matter. In speaking of the
ticket L. Fletcher is quoted as having said
Yesterday:
ga very good ticket indeed, especially
powerful is the name for ieutenant-gov
ernor. Mr.. Frazee is thoroughly honest
and upright man in every respect and a
man who is endorsed by every one of his
hosts of friends, and I have no donbt, will
receive more votes than any nominee on
the ticket. He is man who came out
here when this country was the frontier
By a steady application to hard, honest
labor he has amassed considerable wealth
and-well, no words OF praise are too
strong for him, and in conclusion 1 will
say that he is deserving of every honor
that can be bestowed upon him.
