Ames' Chances.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 29.-The democratic state
central committee met this afternoon al
the Merchants hotel. The date of the con-
vention to elect delegates to the st. Louis
convention was fixed for May 18th. The
call is for one delegate from every county
and one additional for every $50 voters
The executive committee was empowered
to call a convention for the nomination of
state officers any time after the national
convention. President Cleveland's admin
istration was endorsed without a,dissent-
ing vote and the declaration made that 1--WE
are wiling to stake the result Of the next
national election on the doctrine enunci-
ated in his last message" Chairman Mi
chael Doran declares that nothing was
said as to the democratic candidate for
governor, but many of those present are
knOwn|tO be for Ames. just before the
committee went into session one of its
members said the result of the days eau
cusing and secret meeting had developed
the fact that the candidacy of Doc. Ames
was not considered feasible for governor
this year. Hon. Eugene M. Wilson of
Minneapolis, it was decided, was the best
candidate the democrats could nominate.

ton, says: "Not being an aspirant for
political preferment and not supposing
that the party with so many tried and dis
me to become the bearer of its standard,
the honor you and others have unexpect-
edly done me is gratifying, not SO much
as political act, but rather as an evidence
of personal kindness and confidence"

succeed Judge Palmer. Mr.. Garland has
many acQuaintances among northwestern

OF Mr.. Teller, read an extract from Mr..
Cleveland's letter of acceptance in 1884
against the policy of second presidential
term. and intimateds that in view Of
that letter it must be q mistake to
to consider Mr.. Cleveland the; candidate
for the Democratic nomination. Mr.. Tel
Ter repeated that Notwithstanding the let
ter Of acceptance, the great democratic
party had o-day no other man whom it
would dare to put in nomination, and said
that it went without saying that the demo-
cratic convention would simply meet to
ratify what had already been decided. Mr..
Palmer also replied to the speech OF the
senator from Missouri. Mr.. Wilson of
Maryland, a member of the committee on
pensions, declared himself opposed to the
bill as it now stood amended. He gave
figures as to the enormous amount paid in
pensions. and thought the people were op-
POSED to any further extension of the pen
sion system. With the amendments put
on to it the amount expended by the bill
would be $s5,0OO,0OO and probably more.
Without taking vote on the bill or pend
ing amendment, the senate proceeded to
executive business and soon adjourned.
