LOREN FLErcHER,s BOAST.
Can He Control the NomInation1-.E
Bolt Probable.

Bolt Probable.
1t was publicly reported about the city
yesterday that matters were so arranged
that the nomination of superintendent of
schools would be given TO W. w. Wraa-
man by the joint conference committee. II
is known that Loren Fletcher dictated the
appointment of the Republican committee,
Messrs. Burwell, Pinault and Irwin. and
that ne has instructed them to stand by
Wraaman. The convention instructed
them, in case they couldn't reach an agree
ment with the Democrats, to make the
nomination themselves, in which case of
course it would be Wraaman. The Demo-
cratic committee was instructed, in case
they reached no agreement with the Re-
publcans, to report back to the county
committee. It was street talk Yesterday
that Loren Fletcher had said he had Sc
cured one of the Democratic cenferees,
which would make a majority for Wraa-
man. The Democratic conferees all come
from the country. where the feeling against
Wraaman is very strong, but 1t may be
true that the committee is packed for
Wraaman. If the conference should nomi-
nate him, an independent will be placed in
the field; but if the Republican committee
should nominate him, the Democratic can
didate will have walk-oyer. A PROPOSE
ton is being talked up to make an ex-
change, the Democrats agreeing to the
nomination of Republican judge and the
Republicans to Democratic school super
intendent.

''You would not think it, but many a

times when it is raining, too. l have often
found myself leaning up against doorway

turned to sleet. / had been up at court two
mornings in succession, and had been
caught on fire detail one night the same

and tired. l was at West Broad when
it struck II, and I calculated that
l would meet my relief ON the
way back. When l woke up I was
coming up the gas house hill. 1t was dark
and l could not tell what time it was, so !
hurried on, and at the first lamp I looked at
my watch. 1t was twenty minutes after
midnight. I had walked the whole length
of the street, and had been down the hill

my relief, and | lost no time getting back
up the street. 1 said that had been after

A Large Attendance at the Orphans
Fair---General News.
The orphans fair, in progress at Harmo-
monia, continues to attract as many guests
as any of the places of amusement in the
city. and it looks now as though 1t will be
complete success financially. No pains are
being spared to make all corners feel per-
fectly at home, and all who go one evening
will not stay away the next. The young
ladies are working as hard as possible to
secure the various prizes and i'll many cases
new books for entering the names of voters
thew have captured, have to be secured
daily The voting for the gubernatorial
candidates is becoming more animated as
the time for closing draws near. and the
friends of each candidate predict victory.
for their man, Last evening McGill was
some forty votes ahead. but his friends
claim that this signifies nothing. The
poStoffice department is rapidly grow
ing in favor. and from all
appearances the business will soon
lead that of the Minneapolis Office. Miss
Mary Ryan officiateS as postmaster and she
fulIflls her duties in prompt manner.
There is considerable curiosity to know
who Kate, F" the lady that writes such
readable articles for the Orphans Friend is.
and as some twenty-five ladies have been
suggested it is a hard matter to pick out the
right one. From the gallery large num-
Der or ladies gaze nightly upon the animated
scene below. now and then showing their
appreciation of the worthy cause by
dropping down the necessary article to
secure votes for some young girl. On the
whole the fair is a pleasant place to spend
an evening, and as the cause for which it
was inaugurated is worthy one, no one
should neglect to secure at least 800 or 400
chances on some of the valuable prizes.

CRASHING AT STR AVIS.
Some of the Stories CircuIa ted by the
Desperate Republicans.

Desperate Republicans.
The Democratic county campaign in
Hennepin has fairly opened and is pro-
crossing to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned-eXcept the Republicans Every
faction is in line, and with all pulling
heartily together there is not room for the
slightest doubt. If Democrat lacks conf
dence he has but to gaze into the long face
of the first Republican friend he meets and
the dispair he sees written there will re-
store his courage. Desperate efforts have
been made by the Republican press to Gre
ate the impression that a great local Irish
detection existed and its result would be
serious. This old and hackneyed story
dates back to the early spring and began
with Matt Walsh. 1t was solemnly de-
clared Walsh had left the party but when
he was nominated by reclamation at the
last convention the tiresome yarn was alb
ruptly dropped.
''Believe none of these stories,'' said Mr..
Walsh, when the question was put him.
'"They are circulated purely for the purpose
of creating dissatisfaction in the party.
There are few Republican Irishmen and
they will vote with that party, but the large
bulk OF Irishnon are Democrats and can be
depended upon at this or any other time"
After this bubble was pricked, the agi-
tated organ Of RepublicaniSm trumped up a
story-itS origin was over in st. Paul,
somewhere Father McGOlrick would
enter politics and oppose Gov. Ames. They
! runS the changes on this article until he
had contradicted it, when they sprung a
story that in sermon last Sunday he de-
neunced the city administrator. He was
even compekea to deny this, and then they
| persisted. What he denounced was the
wickedness OF the city, and he did it as a
priest without inquiring whether Ames or
| Plllsbury was mayer. Father McGolrick
! said himself:
In my last Sundays sermon it was not my
| Intention to arraign any party Or the Ames
administration of affairs in this city. 1t is my
duty to preach against Sabbath breaking, and
| in my sermon Sunday referred to ali Sabbath
| breakers of any and all parties. 1t has come
| to such pass that we cannot preach against
| the breaking of every commandment without
having some faction find fault, yet 1 am not
| afraid, and will preach against sin and the
evils of the day as l find them. l shall do my
| duty no matter whom it hurts.
The fact of the matter simply is that these
are Straws at which the organs of the sink
ing party grasp wildly. They see perfect
revolution in the ranks of the ScandinavianS
where Democratic clubs are springing up
every day; they see the French of the East
side solidly in line for Democracy; they see
the Germans forming in solid phalanx
against the temporizing and time-serving
party of high license; they see the Hiberni-
ans, their eyes open to the treachery of
| Blaine. pressing forward for their old party;
and these organs are both frightened and
desperate They are trumping up stories
Of all kinds, and in their pouses they tear
their hair and rave incoherently.

Can "a Prisoner DO Legaily Hand

At the recent meeting of the Scandna-
Wan Democratic club Judge Hollins spoke
at some length cendemning the practic of
bringing a prisoner into the courtroom
handcutfed, thus aiding the prosecuting at
torney in conducting the case by giving the
jury the impression that the man under
arrest is dangerous character and has to
be handcuffed to prevent him from commit
ting depredations. The officers OF the
court have expressed themselves as dissatis-
fed with the remarks, which in substance
are as follows:
1t is my opinion that the verdict OF jury
can be set aside if it can be shown that the
defendant was brought before the jury or
into the courtroom, where the jury IS wait
ing, for trial with handouts on. THe law
presumes every nan innocent and Will not
permit any act Of the officers of the court TO
prejudice tho jury against the cause or the
defendant, SO that he cannot have fair and
impartial trial. The handouts are silent
witness and convey to the minds of the spec
taters and jury guilt.

A few moments later it exploded tearing
the coat badly and giving him severe
shock. A quantity of silver he had in his
pocket saved him from being badly in
jured. The editor of the Duluth Tribune
made savage attack on Mr.. Messer, and
accused him of carrying the explosives
around all the time.
