sentiment is the convention. In that
case Capt. Mullen might lead off.
The second claim is more definite than
the above.
1t divides the delegates up with
greater precision. This claim is:
Dunnell-Steele, Olmsted, Winona,
Houston; and from Dodge, 8; total, SO.
Conkey-Fillmore, Is.
Mullen-Wabasha,
Doubtful-3 of Dodge; Mower, Free
born; total. 90.
In this claim O'Brien, chairman of the
Houston delegation, is noted as strong
Dunnell man. Olmsted, after giving a
complimentary vote to Senator M. j.
Daniels, is to go to Dunnell. The leav-
ing of Freeborn doubtful is explained
on the theory that Lovely will do all
ination, while on the other hand Charley
Kittelson and Mons Anderson are repre-
sented to be secretly endeavoring to Sc
cure some votes from that delegation
for him. If he goes into the convention
with thirty-eight votes. two from Free
born could nominate him.
~
John A. Lovely will be in the conven-
ton as chairman of the Freeborn dele
ton. Mr.. Lovely has borne his defeat
philosophicallY, but he has some griev-
ances to adjust. Judge Wilson defeated
him, and so did Dunnell and agri
cultural Milo White. 1t seemed strange
to Mr.. Lovely that a district which in
1882 gave Milo White 700 majority, and
lin 1884 $500, should in 1856 give ma
ority against him OF $500. He will adj
nit possibly that Judge Wilson was a
strong candidate, but it must puzzle
him as to the majority changes in GER
tain counties. The majorities referred
to are:
1882. 1884. 1856
Steele "a *9O
*Democratic.
Milo White could take Republican
majorities out of his own county and
Dunnell's, but Lovely could not. The
whenceness of the whichness has not
been lost upon Mr.. Lovely. If not
heard from, his presence will yet be
felt in that convention, and i'll hostility
to Dunnell
Milo White has been so outspoken of
late against Dunnell, that his hand aym
enter into the proceedings and operate
against Mark. Among the other nota-
hleS likely to play part in the doings
are Senator Edwards, L. 81. Prosser, of
high license fame; A. G. Wedge, lively
factor in First district affairs; Thomas
Simpson, of Winona, man of brain
and politics; old and reliable George f.
Potter, and George w. Buffum. whom
the reporters fooled in the last legis-
lature.
With all the latent opposition there is
to Dunnell, his success may come about
through feeling that he is stronger
than any other man named who would
accept. He has unqueStioned ability
and is good campaigner. The .argu-
ment is used with some effect that this
is presidential year and his chances of
success better by it. The inference
from this is that Republicans vote by
principle on 'of' years, and for mere
partisan ends presidential ones.

Propositions have been made by out
siders that Gov. McGill, Merriam and
Scheffer go out into the State together
and discuss jointly the issues of the day.
The Scheffer men take kindly to the
idea, but no returns are yet in from the
other two. A Mankato paper speaks
for them by cruelty saying that Mer-
riam and McGill need not discuss party
principles with Scheffer, since he is not
Republican.
The following appeared in the Pho
neer Press yesterday:
A. r. Whitney, of New York, offers
to wager $4,000 to $1,000 that Gen. Har-
risOn will be elected. 1t would be
humane act to introduce Mr.. Whitney
to that anonymous New Yorker who is
spelling to bet s2.000,000 Oh the success
OF the Democratic ticket.
On reading it, Hon. M. Doran at once
sent to the office an inquiry for Whit
ney's address and an offer to take the
bet at once. Secretary Miller, at the
Democratic headquarters, received dur
ing the day three kilograms from out
side points ask ing for Whitney's adj
dress and Offering to take the wager.
The GLOBE can give the names of
dozen parties who will take any wagers
on HarrisOn's election, or on his carry
ing New York. Marcus johnson and
William M. Campbell had little tilt at
wagers the other day. Marcus offered
to wager $50 that Harrison would carry
Indiana. This Mr.. Campbell took.
Then he changed his position and at
once wagered Marcus $50 that Cleve-
land would carry New York. New Jer-
sey and California. Marcus WINGED, but
took the offers.
Rev. F. B. Nash, Jr., will speak on
the tariff in ST. Paul July 25 and 26, ad-
dressing himself to the Ramsey county
Democratic clubs, which are now in a
fiourishing condition.

In Isanti county on July 8. where
there was large farmers jOllification,
Albert Scheffer and Col. Mattson spoke.
Both were warmly received and heart
lily applauded. When the speechmak-
ing was over Scheffer was indOrSed and
also Mattson, but the latter for what no
one has ascertained yet.
