Senator Durant was seen yesterday
and Intercepted regarding the eXecu-
tive committee meeting of the Demo-
cratic state central committee of the
previous day at st. Paul. The subject
of gubernatorial candidates was dis
cussed. The matters which came be-
fore the committee were regarding the
best methods of reaching st. Louis with
the Minnesota delegation and the best
time for holding the state convention.
Nothing was said regarding a state
ticket and nothing but informal talk
was had. ''Of course | am for AmeS

am convinced that he is the strongest
man with the people to-day which the
state contains.

any; the best man for governor, with
out any reference to its effect upon any
other political combination.
Judge Charles E. Flandrau-I should
say, not to discourage any one else,
however, that Eugene NJ. Wilson is the
popular, he's able, he sound Demo-
IL. =
man, and think all that combined with
his location and his popularity ought to
make him the most available man. My
individual preferences, however, will
have no possible influence upon the
cordial support which | shall give to
the nominee of the convention. My
honest opinion is that if all Democrats
had been honest in the last campaign
we would have elected DR.. AmeS.
Marshall Campbell-Any good Demo
crat in whom the people have conf
dence would be agreeable me. He
must be tariff refOrmer who can pre-
sent the issues of the day intelligently.
l have no names to present.
G. D. O'Brien-By all means Judge
Flandrau.
B. w. Armstrong nomination of
the convention would suit me. My
preference, however, if you must have
it, is Michael Doran. He is a good, hon
est consistent Democrat.
NJ. +. Kain-Doctor AmeS is my man
for candidate for governor the coming
fall. He is entitled to the nomination
because of the splendid run he made
last time. AS a second choice, prefer
Thomas Wilson.
j. l. Beaumont am so busy that 1
find but little time to think of politics.
The Democrats will do well with Judge
Flandrau as the candidate.
John Caulfield, Secretary of the
Water Board-Judge Flandrau would
be acceptable to me, and would make a
good run in the fall The Democrats
would make no mistake in nominating
him. O
John Roche. City Comptroller
think Judge Flandrau would make a
strong candidate. He is gentleman of
honor and integrity, and stands high in
the estimation of the people.
p. L. Kavanagh-l'm for Ames. /
think he ought to have it.

nate AmeS.
