I The Minnesota delegation to the ma
tional Democratic convention leaves st.
Paul this morning at 10 O'Clock, via the
Burlington road. The railroad COM
pany, in heralding the great through
special schedule, announce itas follows:
schedule of the special train con-
veying Hon. MICHEL DORIAN, Hon. P.
ii. KELLY, Hon. A. A. AMES and the
Minnesota delegation; Hon. l.. K.
CHURCH, governor, and the Dakota del
egati0n, the MeSaba club, of Duluth,
the Key City club, of Dubuque, the
Northwestern Iowa delegation and
members of the press to the national
presidential nominating convention"
-
In its way this announcement is pretty
good. save the two important facts that
DIR. ANIEs has gone already and that
Mr.. KELLY is in st. Louis. But the
rest will go, just the same. The sched-
ule time of the train at important
points is:
Leave Minneapolis, 9:15 a. M leave
st. Paul, 10 a. M; pass Lake Pepin,
11:35 a. m; arrive at Winona, l so D.
M; Prairie du Chen, 4:45 D. M; Sa-
wanna, $50 p. M; st. Louis, 7:30 a. m.
Monday. The trip occupies twenty
hours, through lovely scenery and in
lovely weather.
Hon. j. M. Sp1cER said yesterday
that as delegate to st. Louis he could
readily support THURMAN for vice
president, finding only one objection to
HIM in the fact that he was very old,
and physically, perhaps untitled for
the canvass. He admired MORRISON
as public man, and was of the opinion
that he would make good timber for a
vice president. The Northwest gener-
ally approved of his tariff course, and
would be satisfied with him. Still the
Minnesota delegation had no preference
for this office in the person of any man,
willing to wait until st. Louis was
reached and the situation canvassed.
DIR. CRAIG, another of the delegates,
arrived last night, as did WILLIAM
BoNNIWELL and the major portion of
the Dakota delegation. The latter dele

of the governor or delegates, who will
have another car to themselves or bunk
with the Minnesotians. A. KLAUS, Jr.,
DENNIS MURPHY and FRANK BEALEs,
all of jamestown, and with this party,
arrived yesterday afternoon. Yesterday
afternoon Gov. CHURCH and his cOntin-
gent spent at the Ryan, taking time
while the sun was at its brightest to
visit the GLOBE office and see the river
from its eminence.

Of course the interest centering in
the Dakota delegation is as to how its
little difference with Hon. M. III. DAY
is to terminate. The delegates seen
were non-communicative, with the eX-
eepti0n of one, who said:
keep my name out of print and I'll
say this: The national convention can
not afford to recognize the dispute ere
ated by Mr.. DAY. The disposition of
the convention will be, l think, to have
the local linen, brought there for
cleansing, washed at home. The COM
mittee ON credentials will recognize the
CHURCH delegation, am certain, and
the promised row be averted."
This is hardly in conSonance with Mr..
DAYS well-knOwn method of fighting,
and may be an Over-Sanguine opinion.

Superintendent WARREN IVES yester-
day, THAT Gen. CHANDLER says L of
fered to support him if he would pledge
GOodhue county to REED. Now, as
Gen. CHANDLER well knows, | never
offered to make any such trade with
him. I'll tell you how it happened: l
went down to the convention and found
Cap REED working for DODGE. 1t
didn't take me five minutes to see which
way the wind blew, and SO went to the
captain and told him it was no use, and
/ told DIR. DoDGE to take himself out of
the way. Now does that look like work
ing for Gen. CHANDELIERS defeat? And
as for pledging Goodhue county to
REED. neither Gen. CHANDLER nor
anybody else could have done that, if |
had asked him to, in return for my sup
port, which didn't

The well-known Mr.. KELLY, of Owa-
tonna, remarked yesterday afternoon
that, while having no interest in poll
tics, he yet enjoyed studying the field.
He had made up his mind that DUNNELL
was to be the Republican nominee for
congress in the First district; the candi-
dacy of Senator M. j. DANIELS made no
particular Roadway. In the Third dis
trct which he had just visited, he
found the sentiment for ID. S. HALL. of
Renyille. stronger than that for Mai.
STRAIT. He thought that Swift county
would push Mr.. HALL very vigorously.

Hon. C. T. MACDONALD, of ST. Cloud,
and editor of the Times. the most intiu-
entail Democratic newspaper OF the
north, was in st. Paul yesterday. Mr..
MACDONALD edits a journal of marked
ability and has standing for himself
as Democrat of which he may be
proud. On the advocacy of tariff reform
his journal is doing effective work in
the unconyerted Fifth.
The questions as to who is to be chair
man of the Minnesota delegation to st.
Louis and who is to be the national
committeeman from Minnesota to sue
coed Mr.. KELLY, will be decided by the
delegation in caucus at st. Louis ON
!. Monday.

to st. Louis without the proper creden-
tiaIS, and would have but for the energy

to Minneapolis and secured the neces-

an awkward position for the enthusiasts
to have reached st. Louis minus an
official document of this kind.

The Ryan and Merchants last night
looked like old times, their corridors be-
ing thronged with politicians. The
talk ran principally to the question as
Ito who would be the nominee for vice
president. Col. RoBERTsoX stood talk
ing to party OF friends, telling them,
with all the enthusiasm of his nature,
of his memories of THURMAN and what
