The publication of the list of IndorSers
upon the strength of which Gene Hay
secured his appointment threatens to
create trouble in the Republican ranks.
Prominent among the meager list were
the names of Attorney General Clapp
ana Z. E Mcdonald. of this city. To
say that the attorney general was sur
prised to find his name in that list is
putting it mildly.

fellow, man that like immensely, L
think it would have been much better
to have appointed HalvOr STEVENSON.

There is even more to be explained
i'm regard to the reputed ind oTsement of
the Indianian by Attorney Mcdonald,
who claims not only to have opposed
the appointment of Mr.. Hay, but to have
gone so far as to write President Har-
rlSon, as the chairman of the Ramsey
county Republican committee, protest
ing against the appointment or Hay. II

HAYS CLAIM
that his appointment was secured upon
the strength of his Minnesota indorse-
mentS," doesn't seem TO be founded on
very good grounds. "What man at all
acquainted with the Republican leaders
of Minnesota" said q prominent Re
publican state senator Yesterday, would
call a man strongly Endorsed by the Re
publicans of the state with such hackers
as Tim Byrnes, City Attorney Russell,
of Minneapolis: the bench OF Hennepln

there are not q half dozen outside of
Minneapolis, aid it's safe to say that
part of these are ia exactly the same
position as Attorney General Clapp and
E. E. Mcdonald"
That the SCaRdinaYians Of Minnesota
are very hot in the cellar goes without
saving. "We don't want anything
now said Gerhard Gjertson, of Mime
neapolis, Yesterday. 'All we want is an
open field next time. [ think Steiner
son will kick very hard and there will
be trouble next year. The Republican
party leaders In Minnesota seem to
think that they own the Sean
dinavians, and that no matter what
they do we will stick by them. They
may find out different later on. Cleve-
land treated us nicely compared to what
Harrison has done, i'll spite of the fact
that we were nearly all Republicans. l
don't intend to flop, but know that my
people are getting very restless, and
l would not be surprised to see po-
litieaL revolution IN Minnesota next
year."
HEATwoLE DISC listed.
Joel HeatwOle. the stalwart North
field editor, who has all along prophe-
sled the appointment of Hay, and who
first started the cry against NaShburn'S
high handed methods, has the following
to say:
Twas not surprised to learn Of Mr.. Hays
appointment. knowing his intimate rela-
tons with the president. 1 expected just
what occurred. Mr.. Hay is q young man Of
ability, true and earnest Republican and
hard worker. but firmly believe that his APP
pointment at this time is poor politics and

KEUTE NELSON THE MAN.
s'The polite thing to have done
would have been TO secure the appoint

said Fifth district Republican yester-
day. There's no installing the fact
that the voters Of that section, espe-
cially the ScandinaYians, are very rest.

the men of their nationality have been
treated by the. present state
administration, and something ought
to have been done to ap-

Why, do YOU know that one-half the
state lies north of that point, and enough

plexien of the state. The appointment
of Gen. Hay means that we are to be
