II. S. Davis, late correspondent of the
Minneapolis Tribune, is credited to
Minnesota in til morning POSTS list of
candidates for public printer. Mr.DavlS
is from Maine, never having been in
Minnesota at any time in his life. He is
good Republican worthy of the posi-
tion. Great disappointment is felt
among Wisconsin people here over the
decision of President Harrison con-
cerning the position of register OF deeds
for this district. AS predicted in the
GLOBE two weeks ago, the eminent
German-Americrn Republican orator,
eX-Congressman Guenther, of Wiscan-
sin, sought the position, but the GLOBE
was Informed that it would be given to
ton has not yet been verified, but it
has been refused to Guenther for the
reason that he is nonresident here,
and the Chicago platform pledges home
rule. The territories may be assured
that Harrison will send 10 carpetbag-

those sent by Mr.. Cleveland. The
author Of Marching Through Georgia"

men say that he shall. Gen. Harri-
son has not yet expressed an
opinion, but Blaine is for BYers.
Should Congressman Dick Townshend,
who is now at the point of death at the
Riggs hotel in this city, surrender to the
grim destroyer, it is not unlikely that
the famous eX-commiSSloner William A.
j. Sparks, will succeed him in the
house. Sparks is rich and popular in
his district, and the Democrats are sure
TO retain the seat. Secretary Window
gave a reception at y. nj. to-day to
Minnesota people at his rooms in the
Ebbit house. About 200 were present.

gulshed fellow citizen on his second
elevation to this responsible cab
met portfolio. If there is any
dissatisfaction in Minnesota it did not
appear OH this occasion, the reception
being one of the utmost cordial y and
good fellowship. Gen. Bingham, of
Ohio, and Judge Edgerton, of Dakota,
were among the guests. The Mime

the backing of the entire Iowa delega-
tion for pension agent of the Iowa dis
t1ict. When the North Dakotians
called on Secretary Window they sug-
gested that, as Minnesota and New
York disowned him, they would be
glad to adopt him and claim the treasury
Secretaryship for their new state. He
replied that he thought it would be all
right. Timothy Byrnes and the Min.
