POLITICAL POINTERS.

T. E. Hughes is conceded to be an elegant
gentleman, but that he will leave the post
Office within fortnight after J. j. Ankeny's
advent is the confident assertion of the lat
ter gentleman'S friends.
Politics will have no part in the election of
superintendent of schools to succeed the
gentle TOuSley. 1t is entirely probable an
Eastern man will be. chosen, after the man
ner OF selecting President Northrop of the
university.
The two discordant elements of the Henne-
pin Democracy will measure swords fairly
When 1t comes to selecting delegates to the
state convention. One side SwearS not q man
from the other side shall have seat in the
convention.
Republicans in the Fourth Congressional
district are anXiously inquir1ng what vote
will be used as a basis of representation
Henncpin cost heavy vote for Blaine and
light one for Giltillan, and should tn @ former
be taken, Hennepin will lack but SIX votes of
controlling the convention.
Several Democrats of Minneapolis had made
up their minds to go to st. Paul, on July l,
with the purpose of OuSting Doran and sup
porting Kelly. Since the postoffice appoint
ment they have changed their minds and now
declare Kelly was treacherous, and they will
raise him with the Doran petard.
The Tribune and Journal in copying por-
ton OF GLOBE interview with Aid. SchmitZ
OF Fergus Fails made him say Nelson would
be nominated and elected. What he said was
Nelson would defeat the opposition and be
nominated, but would probably be defeated
by r. L. Frazee of Becker county
w. W. Hartley Of the Fifth district is an
nounced as candidate for auditor of state
against Frank Mcdonald of Hennepin and
his chief qualification is in that he is Mason
Mcdonald can go him one better, for he is
connected with seventeen different secret So
cieties and has applications pending in the
other three.
a Becker county Republican, whose infor-
nation is equaled only by his modesty, was
in the city yesterday and cautiously inquired
if G. +. Kindred had made any political revel-
ations. He said: kindred is right about
Gilman. He will certainly be nominated, but
the fight will be a bitter one and he will be
defeated at the polls.'
1t had been anticipated that John B. Gil
fllan would not care for a second term in
congress. but he has announced that having
spent one term in learning the ropes he
would like second whirl to make himself
truly useful. His plea of usage is good one,
perhaps, but that does not prevent Loren
Fletcher and Judge Koon from vigorously
building fences around the district. Henne-
pin county's delegation will go to the conven-
ton so badly split up that some outside
statesman may walk off with the prize.
C.F.Kindred of Brainerd, who is in the city,
has been giving out political information,
fresh from the fountain head and without
stint. He says Nelson will be nominated for
congress in the Fifth, without practical oppo-
sion, as Duluth counts for nothing. He
found the northern part of the state wild for
Gilman for governor-actualy losing sleep in
their excitement. w. w. Hartley OF Stearns,
for auditor, and Nose Clapp of Otter Tail for
attorney general, are down on his slate, while
he thinks Senator Buchanan OF Stearns will
succeed himself, and L. E. Lum will go to tn e
legislature from Brainerd. Stordock of Will
kins county wants to be secretary of state.
