this or that state, the mapping out of plans for
the struggle to be continued to-day, and all the
work incident to such a condition of affairs, was
as vigorously and openly prosecuted as on the
day aud night previous, the only difference being
that the number of Interested parties was some
what increased by fresh arrivals late Saturday
night and by the early trains yesterday.
THE sPEAKERsHIP.
While the work was active yesterday the re-
suits as developed do not very materially affect
the situation from what it was at the conclusion
of active operations late Saturday night, though
some few new features have entered into the
contest. The contest for the speakership, the
choice plum of the legislative dish, grows in in
terest and also in uncertainty with each succeed
Ing move. As was noticed in the issue of Sun
day, Mr.. Cornish on the day previous began to
assume the aggressive in his candidacy for the
position, and he and his friends had determined
to make it fight to the finish. This fact has
evidently found an unpleasant lodgment in the
minds of Mr. Gibbs aud his bac kers, for it was
noticeable yesterday to the ordinarily obtuge OBJ
server that he and they had
suddenly lost that boastful con-
fdence displayed on saturday OF course
they did not proclaim this fact from the housetop,
an emphasis that was most telingy supple
mented by the increased energy and confidence
shown by Mr.. Cornish and his followers.
A SECTIONAL ROCK.
feature that had not hitherto played much
of u part in the contest was yesterday advanced
well to the front, and will undoubtedly prove to
be an important factor from this on That is the
fact that the first Offices of the two houses under
the Gibbs programme to be filed that of speaker
and secretary of the senate will, if successful, go
to the counties in the extreme southern portion
of the state, the speaker to Freedom aud the
secretary of the senate to the county adjoining,
Faribault. This may be and perhaps is nothing
more than the result of accident, and should
have 10 bearing upon members from other sec
lions in making mp their minds as to who they
shall support. The fact remains, however, that
it is having its effect and as the principal boom
ers of Gibbs also pushing the claims of
West with equal perliIacty, aud vice versa, they
are IL q quanlary a. TO what shall be
done 20 check the dsaifection that is being pro-
duced by It. II is understood that the plan was
carefully considered yesterday OF withdrawing
GlDbs or West, but as both OF these gentlemen
profess TO feel perfect confidence in their AFFINITY
10 pull through, and both are equally emphatic
in asserting their personal claim TO nj the
ing could be done In this direction, aud for the
present any determination OF the delicate ques-
ton Is held In aDeyaute to await developments.
In the meantime the opposition TO both Gibbs
aud West are profting by the sectional question:
and the opinion is freely expressed that the
more the matter is discussed the greater will be
the disatfection IL will produce.
BREAK IL THE FAMOUS COLUMN.
Another thing that is producing great uneasi-
ness In the minds OF the Gibbs faction is the
break from him among the representatives of
the Farmers Alliance element, in ali previous
fgurngs considered to be a unit for him. Indi-
cations that such break was possible was no.
tceabe Saturday, but tnen its apparent proper.
tiols were small, and any serious trouble from
this factor dismissed "a too improbable to
be worthy OF serious consideration. The devel-
opments yesterday, however, put this phase Of
the 6ght in n decidedly different light aud all Of
q suidcn MIR. GibJs awoke TO the alarming con.
victiOn that ne had been over confident and that
a serious disa!fecton was developing in the very
! quarter where he had been considering himself
strongest and the most certain TO adhere 10 his
fortunes.
But for all these causes OF nneasiness Mr..
Clubs is fur from being discouraged ana II at all
doubtful OF the result he will not acknowied &c.
| Tna; IL not his style. His style j. TO ignt
a battle out, and the indications
OF danger brought to his notice yesterday as
above but had the efIec, to make him more az
| gressivc, II possible than before. His face lost
none OF it, cheerful expression, and az he greeted
! Smith, Jones ct al his voice bad that ring and
resonance that attracted attention to him vhe re-
ever he moved and Kept his opponents on the
alert. In short, he yet believes thar De will win
the prize, and II he IL 10 be beaten be will on
ackuow le ise the fact after the votes in caucus
demonstrate such a result.
