An Interview with the Coming
GOVernor--ThOSe Who Called Oa
Him.
At Ames headquarters in Room F, at tht
Merchants, everything was harmonious. The
door was opened about $3.50 p. IN. by DR.
AmeS, and with him filed into the room E. W
Dursnt, OF Saltwater, and P II. Rahilly, o.
Lake City.
This is popular uprising of the people,
said Mr.. Rahilly, ADDRESSING DIR. Ames, 'ant
you'll be nominated and elected without
doubt"
Mr.. Durant suggested that the proper way
TO have the next state central committee Sc
lected would be 10 have the delegates OF each
judicial district select their own representa-
tive, ana then have these representative:
elect their own chairman. THAT would be
Democratic, he said. land the committee
would be made up on Democratic principles
If any member of the committee is diStaste-
ful, or II the chairman is undesirable, il viii
be the fault of the delegates themselves, ano
they must put up with and stand 10y the con
sequences" TO ali of which DIR. AmeS nodded
assent without making an expression.
Speaking about 'besSSn," DIR. Ames de-
clsred himself opposed TO bossism on prin-
ciple, but if the state Democracy selects a
man and sends him 10 Washington to present
and indorse applications for federal patron
age, ii is none OF our business. and if, in the
abSense of a Democratic senator other
representative in congress, the president sees
fit to refer applications Tor federal patronage
to the representative we select as the agent
of the party, fer his indOrse meEt. it is
none of our business. 1t is wrong, though,
for any man to publish himself as d boss To
the world st large. 1t is ROT Democratic.
Mr.. Kelly himself, in a consultation ] had
with him at his Office, told ne it was BOT
democratic. I am out aRd out in this. have
x al lya and an
| never have bad anything against them.
What gay say freely, but l defy any man
10 show where l have ever scugkt TO hurt
either gentleman. What l think is right is
that the right OF the people to send spPli-
cations to the president direct ought
not to be deaied. Then, if the president
Chooses to refer the matter to our repre-
sentative on the national committee, that is
Oil right, and il is none of our business. Mr.
Kelly must be regarded as standing in the
position OF our representative at Washing
ten, and L am satisfied, and everybody that
understands this thing is satisfied
WHi:e the other gentlemen were acQuies-
cling in this, Peter Nelson. II. p. Mcintyre
(son of Jesse Mcintyre, the Red Wing banker),
Judge c. Graham and john Fredericks, of the
Goodhue county delegation, entered.
we are for AmeS and harmony" said
Peter Nelson.
DR.. AUes was congratulated, and every
one OF the delegation pledged himself to sup
port him.
P.H. Kelly then entered and read this tele-
gram from H. w. Lamberton, of Winona:
''SOlid delegation. II. w. Lamberton,
chairman. Leave on $40 train
Mir. Kelly added. And Ludwig and Buck
will stay at home
M Kelly was then invited into the consul
tation room, and was engaged in conversa-
ton with Ames and Durant for a while. ''lf
RI IN
TO make me boss said Mr.. Kelly fiat-foot-
edly, that settles it, and I'm going to be
boss" lie conceded that Ames would be
nominated by exclamation.
The Senator o. NJ. Hall and a number of
gentlemen also visiIei DR.. AmeS after Mr.
Kelly left, and John T. Meagher and John c..
Wise. OF Maukato, entered the consultation
room. When they came out Mr.. Meagher
said Ames would be nominated and Michael
Doran would be chairman of the next state
central committee. During the evening Judge
Rand and Chris Gallagher, of Minneapolis,
and John Fl. Ives and J. j.
McCaferty called. Mr.. Ives asked Mr.. Nc
Cafferty Whist was the reason Doran allowed
himself to be put up as a candidate for gov
ernor. Mr.. McCaGerty replied point blank:
so as to force Ancs TO let him set the chair
maBship OF tbs state committee again. Who
ever denied this!Nobody ever did. Deran said:
You are trying to get me OF this committee
and we are going to see about this. IN going
to stay here just as long as like. and when
get ready I'll get OF the committee, but not
till then. That was right"
Judge Rand ventured TO say that Doran
was such d strong Democrat, such true
Democrat that even il he did not personally
like Ames, yet be would work for him with
all his might if it is found that Ames is the
choice OF the party.
Judge Ludwig OF Winona, and other gen.
tleneu called late in the evening. W. 2.
Murray sat in the c0nsuitation-room and
chatted freely. Everything went harmoni-
ously, and the past was forgotten.
