Gov McGill in securing the Washing
ton county delegation to the state con-
VentiOn.
The appointment of P. II. Carney to
the Manlato postoffice will give general
satisfaction to all in NIankato except
the Sabi element. who will look on it
as blow at their petty interests. Mr..
Carney has served as mayor of MankatO
one term. and has been aliberal-minded
citizen. His Democracy is as rock
ribbed as the MethOdiSm of the old darky
whose master told him he must give up
his faith or be licked.
''Oh, Lord" said the old fellow, ''take
de 'possum, take ole Chloe" and with
sudden inspiration take de ho' cake;
but MefOdism-MaSSa, lick ahead"
A small stray bird perched on the
shoulders of j. Simmons, of Appleton,
and overheard him say in st. Paul yes
terday:
''If McGill is nominated will bet all
the money that l have that he is de-
feated."
Mr.. Simmons is an influential Repub-
lican of Swift county, has been counted
upon as a solid McGill man, but he is
not this year-some other year.
Ex-senator Greenleaf, of Litchfield,
sitting with II. G. Howard yesterday
afternoon, said:
Il don't know that the delegation
from Meeker county is solid for Reed.
The delegation is uninStructed, and |
would not be surprised if he got one or
two votes in it. The feeling in our
county has always been very strong for
Maj. Strait, but he is not talked of now
as candidate"
Hon. Henry Poehler, of Henderson,
made social call Oh Albert Scheffer
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Poehler,
among other things, said to the GLOBE:
There is going to be big change in
the votes this year. | meet many Re
publicans who tell me that they will
vote for Cleveland and solely on this is
sue of the tariff. / met a Methodist
minister lately who said to me (he is
Republican, that Cleveland was his
choice now, but that in four years more
the issue would be Prohibition"
These remarks brought up what
citizen of Rush City said when in st.
Paul last week.
II am Republican, but l am going
to vote for Cleveland. 1t is hard to find
Republicans up our way. | know of
only two solid Republicans in my
town."
The statement published in the Pho
neer Press that Ii. B. Willis had said
that Scheffer and McGill would COM
bine against Merriam is emphatically
denied by that gentleman. He asserts
that he never made such statement,
and those who know his long-headed-
ness can readily believe that he didn't.
-
F. B. Nash, Jr., will speak on tariff
reform at Fergus Falls on June l and
at Glencoe On June 10. He has also
been invited to speak at Shakopee, and
probably will do SO.

A party of Minneapolitans in st. Paul
yesterday agreed thSt Loren Fletcher
had withdrawn from the congressional
race and made ID. M. Clough his legatee.
ClOugh and he have always been good
friends, and as the former is in the field
for keeps, Fletcher's withdrawal is
probable, Capt. Snider is busy making
himself conspicuous in all public places
and arouSing enthusiasm among the
young men.
j. E. Campbell, of Mandan, Oak, is
in the city. Mr.. G is one of the Dakota
DeHlOcfdtS WHO participated Ill lne late
unpleaSantness at Watertown and has
this to say Oh the Church and Day con-
test.
Il am not much of a politician, but
when there is political fight you can
always find me on the Democratic side,
and the Democratic party of Dakota is
with Church, regardless of what the Re
publican press and politicians may say
to the contrary. All who admire hon
eSty and fearleSsness in the discharge of
public duty must honor and respect
Gov. Church."
