Is Mr.. Herbert's compact with Reed to
stand good, or will he join forces with Mr..
Denny?
Strait had majority of only $50 over Don
nelly and Srearns two years ago In the Third
district.
The ghost of w. S. Pattee may stalk abroad
in the convention and disturb the dreams of
MI. Herhert
A b. Kelly, the Mortified druggist, is be-
ing urged Dy his friends TO make the race for
the legislature.
Strait will not get the Rice county delega-
ton, although u majority OF them might vote
for him if he became Il candidate
Senator Clement is authority for the state
meut that Strait will not consent to be Il
candidate uuder any circumstances.
There is no truth in the rumor that the
I excessive mOdesty of Congressman Strait
would prevent his accepting denomination.
1t is the impression here that Judge Nc
Donald will be nominated for congress by
acclamatiOn at the Democratic convention at
Chaska on Thursday.
If Denny is defeated, and likewise Strait
Gf he comes up} the long reign of Chairman
Wilson, of ShakOpee, will be ended. There
will be general taking OF scalps.
Goodhue, Mcleod and Renville counties
voted for Rice In the state convention. Can
claim on Kandiyohi on the strength of this
fact.
Among the old war horses who will take
part in the convention as delegates are j. S.
Allen, Northfield; Gen. Nutting, Faribault;
Liberty Hall, Glencoe; A, E. Rice, Kandiyohi;
L. A. Hancock, Red Wing; DR.. Dodge, Farm
iagton, and j. G. Rebie, Boone Lake.
Pattee is no kicker. He doesn't sulk be-
cause of his defeat. But his friends in
Mortified complain that St. Paul and Min
neapolis sold him out. The feeling is par
tIcularly bitter against Gen. Mark D. Flower,
who, it is charged, was a conspicuous figure
in the conspiracy to assaSSinate the gentle
man from Rice.
The Glencoe Enterprise, in its last issue,
claims only twenty-One votes as sure for
Reed-McLeod, Renvlle, Chippewa and
Dakota-but says he will be nominated on the
first ballot Chippewa, it will be remem-
bered, has contestng delegation. IL these
are excluded Reeds pledged vote will be re-
duced to seventeen.
The present congressional committee is
composed as follows: William Wilson, Scott
\. Il. Fnseth, Goodhue: D. L. Perkins, Rice;
l.. V. H. Dodge, Dakota A. u. knight, Nc
Leod c. II. Strobeck, Meeker; r. +. KNAPP
per. Chippewa; Marcus johnson, kandiyoni;
j. Simmons, Swift; A. II. Listerod, Renville
and A. ?. Carver. Carver.
Tie complexion of the Rice county delega-
y
j. S. Allen, of Mortified is out-and-out
Herbert man. o. +. Perkins, OF Northheld,
will probably vote for Herbert, although he is
very kindly disposed toward Denny. He will
vote for Herbert rs first choice, simply
because he halls from neighboring county
and would further the interests of tciS end
of the district. he will go to Denny if Her
bert caunot be nominated. Gen. Levi Nut
ting. of Faribault. is SAID to be disgusted with
the whole business, and declares he won't
GENE to the convention at all. Levens, of
Faribaut, is said to be for Denny.
Said one of the delegates this afternoon,
''Ne dom care a id who is elected-Reed
Herbert or Denny. They are all about on
par. aud nobody is going to lose any sleep on
their account. We wont have any KaSson
circus. Why, if 1 was voting for Herbert on
every ballot, and l found that, by voting for
Reed. could get to my supper ten minutes
earlier, 1 would not hesitate to change. And
all of us feel that way. There wont be any
deadlock. We are not tied to anybody and
we are not particularly stuck on either of the
three" g. D. E.
