ever might be thought of the alleged
$4,000 members. Mr.. BiXby gave out
something which is not generally
known. After the national convention
meets the state league will have con-
vention and appoint delegates to a ma
tional league convention. This national
league convention will take up the NOM
inee of the national convention proper
and hurrah for him. Then the leaguers
of the states and territories, in cOnven-
ton assembled, will plan out the hard
hustling of the campaign. The dates
for these conventions have not yet been
set.
Mr.. Bixby also said the feeling down
his way was anti-McGill.
1t isn't often that Gov. Pillsbury likes
to be approached by reporter. Usu-
ally it is useless for reporter to APP
prOach him. But yesterday he did
Shake hands with a GLOBE rustler.
That was about all. Nevertheless, it
may be inferred from the governors
asserting to certain decOy remarks that
he, too, is anti-McGill.
Stanford Newell is almost as unap-
proachable as Gov. McGill. Standing
looking over the Ryan register, he had
the GOODNESS to say he was not ashamed
to be party to the secret Scheming of
the committee, that there was no plot,
plan or scheme, that the committee
would leave all that to the ''peOple,"
and that he did not, does not now,
and never will lndOrSe the celebrated
remark of the awfully great Commodore
Vanderbilt. Notwithstanding, it was
Stanford Burnsides Newell who, as the
first official act of the committee, pleas
antly moved for an executive session.
By the way, this notion was not even
put. Gov. Pillsbury, without waiting
for a second, arose majeStically and
politely requested all not members of
the committee to withdraw. They with
drew, and with them State Auditor
Braden.
What was Mr.. Braden around for,
anyway? Is he candidate for gov
ernor? Did not Gov. McGill, at Mr..
Braden's suggestion, appoint Deputy
Auditor Kenyon to the position of pub
lie examiner? Under those circum-
stances Mr.. Braden will probably not
oppose Gov. McGill for the present.
Mr.. Bruckart, of St. Cloud, who takes
d. B. Searle'S place on the committee,
is an energetic looking little man. He
is for Barto for congress.
When Senator G. G. Edwards was
asked why it was decided to hold the
First district convention at Rochester,
he answered by half inquiry. half in
situation, that it might be a congress
sional boom for Senator High License
Daniels, NJ. j.
Why were Col. Hans Mattson, Judge
Warner, E. p. Freemen and one or two
others hobnobbing together in the Ryan
rotunda? Does Col. Mattson want re-
nomination?
w. r. Merriam was the only guberna-
torial candidate in the field yesterday
afternoon, and he corraled the commit
tee.
Representative Flynn, of Little Falls
saws his county is for Senator Buchanan
for congress. If Gilman wanted to
make an effort for the gubernatOrial
nomination the sentiment would prOba-
bly, be all in his favor in the Fifth dis
trict.

RED WING, March 20.-Advices re-
ceived in this city are to the effect that
there is growing feeling among. the
Republicans in the southern part of the
county in favor of Hon. Knute Nelson
for gubernatorial candidate. That
portion of the county is largely popu-
lated by Norwegians and many con-
slider this favoring of him is sign that
