TIME FOR HARMONY.
Senator Durant Believes This Is
No Time for Democrats to Air
Personal Differences.

Personal Differences.
State Senator Durant, of Saltwater,
made another of his Semi-o OCCASIONAL
pilgramages to st. Paul yesterday, and
between business breaths found time to
talk little on politics to reporter for
the GLOBE.
''What the Democrats of Minnesota
want to do, and quickly, too" Senator
Durant sold, sis to come to a realizing
sense of the fact that at at this stage of
the game internecine warfare is simply
suicidal. Democrats who are Demo
Gratis have no time to waste in factional
fights. There is plenty to do in Spiking
the guns Of the enemy, and we can't
begin too early. 1t is undoubtedly true
tlat all Is not harmony in the Repub-
lean ranks, but Republican are astute
enough to settle their differences either
in executive session or through some
medium other than the press. The
Democracy, more than any other party,
represent the people of Minnesota, and
united Democracy can cOndnct-a cam
palgn that will not by any meaus be
forlorn hope. With harmony we can
win; otherwise defeat is almost GER
tain.'' ---.
care you a candidate for delegate to
the Democratic national convention at
st. Louise"
II was delegate to the convention
that nominated MI. Cleveland for pres
ident," was the senator's reply, land
to be chosen a delegate to the st. Louis
convention, which will certainly renom-
mate him, will of course be very graft
flying, should it come that way. To
answer your question, [ am a candidate,
and again | am not. If elected as del
egate it is a good bet that I'll be in the
convention on front seat with vote.
II any one else wants to go in my stead
I'll not make any
FIGHT IN THE CONVENTION
for place On the delegation. The work
of the convention, in so far as the n0mi-
nation of candidate for the presidency
is concerned, will be merely per-
functory. Cleveland is the choice of
the people and will be nominated with
a Wh0Op. He's sure winner, and the
Democracy knows a good thing when it
sees it. The contest will be in the selec-
ton of a candidate for the vice presi-
dency. Indiana, as usual, has fav0rite
son in the person of Gov. Gray. He and
Gen. Black, commissioner of pensions,
are most prominently mentioned in con-
nectiOn with the second place on the
tick, and one or the other will probably
get it.
1.-THE sentiments of President Cleve-
land enuaciated in his message to con-
greSs are those of his party and clearly
define the issue of the campaign at
hand. The people demand revenue re-
form, if not absolute free trade, and will
have it. ! have a good many thousands
of dollars invested in numbering and kim
dred interests, and the abolition of the
duty on lumber will be perfectly salts
factory to NE. AT the same time let the
duties Oh coal, iron and salt be abol
longer, and the people are right in de-
handing that they be left free to
choose in what markets they shall buy
and SELL"

fifty-fve. He was born at Newburg,

of the Indian massacre He was al
ways greatly interested in politics, and
was usually delegate to Democratic
conventions. His acquaintance among
politicians in the Northwest was very
extensive and, as he was very sincere
in his attachment to his friends, his ac-
quaintance rapidly ripened into deep
friendship. He was at one time Secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce of st.
Paul, and subsequently register Of deeds
of Ramsey county. This, however, was
many moons ago, when the emolu-
ments of the latter Office were very
small. He was exceedingly sociable,
loved the society of friends, and never
failed to make friends wherever he
went. For many years he worked in
the editorial department of the leading
papers OF st. Paul, but for the last few
years his health has been so poor that
he was compelled to abandon night
work and the general exposure and ex-
acting work of the newspaper. He leaves
four children, three boys and one
daughter. The time for the funeral will
be announced hereafter.
