make the cleaneSt fight. John y. WISE
was of the same opinion. There seemed
to be no disposition to tread upon nor
dictate to DR.. Ames. Those who oppose
him think him weaker candidate this
year than he was in 1886. His FRIENDS
regard him as stronger. Mr.. Durants
opposition to him is best explained by
one of his friends:
.sWhen one public man considers that
another has insulted him, he will not
lend to that other political countenance
nor support. Mr.. Durant gave DIR. AmeS
support in 1856, not because he loved
him, but he was the party's nominee,
and he had accused the party leaders OF
an intention to slaughter him. Mr.. Du-
rant said that his own county proved by
a big majority that assertion to be false.
Since DR.. Ames with Mr.. DOnnelly
in 1886. cOnspired to deprive Mr.. DOran
of political influence in the state; to dis
place him as chairman of the state CEN
trail committee, and to make it appear
at Washington that he was not trusted
by his own party nor regarded as a
worthy leader, it is but natural that Mr..
Doran, having discharged any obliga-
ton he might have been under to Ames,
feels free to oppose his nomination: He
does not consider him worthy OF the
party's selection nor entitled to recogn1-
ton except as one of the rank and file
of the Democracy. Joined with MIR.
Doran are majority of the party lead-
ers, who think DR.. Ames less able to
make such a campaign as is needed than
are half dozen other public men who
might be named. Mr.. Doran is not
seeking the division of the party nor a
fight with DR.. Ames. :. He desires to see
the best man nominated and redshot

mittee was called for the purpose of re-
ceiving a report from Mr.. Doran as to
the quarters he had secured for the
Minnesota delegation at st. Louis. No
invitations were issued for Democrats
to be present to discuss Dr.. Ames or
any other candidate. The committee
considered the proper time for calling
the state convention to nominate gov
ernor. and the propriety also of having
but one convention held in each county,
by which delegates could be elected not
only to the May II convention, but to
the state one. This would save the
farmers some time in busy time OF
the year. As a matter of fact DR.. Ames
came under discussion, as did other
candidates. DR.. Ames is too lively q
subject not to be talked of. He had
friends and opponents present, although
the latter were the most numerous.

Several state politicians, discussing
DR.. Ames and his possible candidacy for

number, Third district Democrat, to
decide disputed point, viz, whether or
no Ames was the best and most avail
able candidate the Democracy could

to keep even with his party's natural
increase by polling nearly 1000 more
votes than Hubbard did. Hubbard in
1888 polled $4,000 less votes in these two
counties than Blaine did in 1884, while
McGillin 1886 ran only 5000 behind
Blaine's vote and fought in an off year.

was clever stroke for banker to use

and give utterance to sentiments favor
ing an interest bill designed to benefit

the state who would advocate him for
governor. Place him alongside of Com
Scheffer, and there is not one of them
but as to brains, as to knowledge of
public affairs, as to ability to represent
the people, is shoulders and head above
him."
In considering Mr.. Merriam's availa-
bility for the governOrship, much atten-
tion is being paid to the influence his
electionm might have upon the railroad
commission. The farmers consider that
one of the most important functions OF
the governor is the appointment of that
commission. Gov. McGill'S commission
apparently has not satisfied them, they
demanding something more radical in
nature. The question arises if Mr..
Merriam, with his political education
and the combinations that he must make
to secure an election, can OR is liable
to appoint commission better than the
present one. 1t is understood that to
be elected Mr.. Merriam must make GER
tain combinations with corporations and
other capitalistic institutions, that will
expect from him certain rewards for
their fealty. How he is to keep the
pledges he will have to make them and
yet remain loyal to his farmer constitu-
ents, is puzzle that not few are now
striving to solve. His friends, in his
candidacy for speaker, assured one ele-
ment that he would work and vote for

No denial has yet been given by him to
the report that he intends to head an in

McGill vote of two years ago. This or
gan notes that Lieut.. Gov. Rice ran
ahead of McGill's vote in nearly every
county in the gtate, and that in but one
county of the state (and large fraudu-

says, did McGill run ahead of his ticket.
Rice's majority was 1000, and McGilFs

of 1884 by $4,000. Some idea of McGill's
losses (?) may be gained from this short
