Will Compliment the Secretary.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, d, c., March Min
neSotians and other Northwestern
people will assemble at the Atlantic
building Tomorrow afternoon at 4
o'clock, and march thence to the Ebbitt
house, where at half past four, Secretary
Window will receive them. The Mime
apOliS Flambeau club will act as escort,
and there will be a large gathering of
people. Senators Edgerton and Moody
have notified the South Dakotians, and
Gen. Allen and Gov. Ordway have no
titled the North Dakotians SO that
every NOrthwester man in Washington
will be aware of the proposed demon
stration and be on hand. Hon. Tim
Byrnes says tonight: 1.-THE gentle
men have arranged to make this
the most notable cOngratulatory recep-
ton rendered to any cabinet officer.
There will be over 800 people from our
section of whom we are already aware,
and others sending in their names con-
stantly. There is no doubt that Min
nesota's representative in the cabinet
will be well pleased with our showing
numerically and in eloquence, for there

Secretary Window, and has largely con-
tributed to the assured success of the
reception. Senators Davis and Wash
burn are exceedingly taciturn concern
ing applications, and applicants for
positions received from Minnesotians.
They will not even name the hopeful
and aspiring gentlemen who want and
clamer for Office. The Minnesota con-
gressmen, excepting alone Mr.. Hall,
met this morning In Senator Davis
committee room, and we're en-
gagged in private conversation for
time. Mr.. Comstock says it
was merely an informal conference
of genial nature-and he is an honor
able, reliable man. J. F. Linderman,
of Osseo, Mr.. Haughen's candidate for
a North American consulate, is in the
city. He is fine looking gentleman.
about forty-fve years of age, and, SO
Mr. Haughen says, is one Of the most
active and valuable workers in his dis
trict. Senator Sawyer to-day accom-
panied Hon. John Hicks. editor of the
Oshkosh Northwestern, to call on Mr..
Blaine at the state department and on
President Harrison at the W hite house.
This means that MIR. Hicks, who is one

ers, and townsman of Sawyer's, will
ably to Chill or Peru. EX-Congressman
Hazleton, of Wisconsin, is making
strong fight for the position of commits
sioner of general land Office. Iowa's
man, Ex-Governor Stone, however. has
the best show at present, because Iowa
was left out of the cabinet and Iowa's
congressional delegation have deter
mined to lay down heavily on Harrison
for this position. Barney Sullivan, of
Plankinton, Dak., is an applicant for
the position of surveyor general of
South Dakota. He has good backing,
and is pushing his claims effectively by
adding good Endorsements daily to his
position. Cyrus j. Fry applies for Dan
Marratta's scalp, and has the indOrse-
ment of senators and congressman from
other states, as we'll as the proper Gre
dentials from South Dakota's repre-
sentative men. Col. John II. King, of
Rapid City, is not satisfied with the
opening of the Sioux reservation, for
which he worked during the past two
years. He is an applicant for the posi-
tion of assistant commissioner of In
South Dakota backing, he has all IOwa's
congressional delegation backing him
as clean, honest, capable man and an
orthodox Republican. 1t is stated to-
night that strong efforts are being made
to remove Col. Charlie Johnson. of Min
neSOta, from his position as chief clerk
of the senate. InaSmuch as he was a
strong supporter of Washburn. and has
the earnest support of MinneSota's SEN
ators, he feels safe In his position, and
is not likely to be disturbed.
