POLITICAL POINTERS.

In some quarters the opinion obtains
that the fact that Col. Bobleter claims
residence in the next adjoining county
will tend to initiate against Senator q.
s. Ives in his canvass for the Repub-
lican nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor. There is no doubt expressed In
political circles that the colonel will be
renominated by reclamation for state
treasurer, and it is urged by Mr.. Ives
opponents that two such important
positions on the state ticket are more
than the Second district ought to
expect. On the other hand, MIR.
Ives supporters and adherents
set up that it is unfair to prejudice ms
candidacy with the claim that Col.
Bobleter maintains his residence In that
district. They argue that the colonel is
now a resident of Ramsey county and
that he votes here. Be that as 1t may,
Mr.. Ives is said to be making vigorous
canvass, and it is declared tnaC MS
chances are bright.
The various Republican county con-
Ventions will be held the present month,
and then the manner of the campaign
will have. taken definite shape. The
party is surely deal at sea at the pres
ent time concerning candidates and
modes of operation, and the multitude
of ambitious aSpirantS to official dis
tinction are awaiting almost with bated
breath the result of these conventions,
that they may formulate plans for an
intelligent and effective coup at the
state convention.
Capt. W. W. Braden certainly has a
wide latitude of excellent opportunities,
if he chooses to exercise them. II he is
in earnest in his candidacy for the
gubernatorial nomination, his tours OF
the state i'll selling public lands can
easily be made to bear fruit. he IS now
in Detroit, and he has already traverSed
a goodly portion of the upper district;
but. if he has been fixing" things to
the end that delegations from that sec
ton will come into the convention for
him, he has done so in such subtle
way that his st. Paul compeers know
nothing about 1t.
Fred Vanduzee, of the Rock County
News, is in st. Paul. He is OutSpOken
in his admiration for Capt. Braden, and
he protests that the captain can easily
be nominated, if he is seeking the po-
stion of governor, even though the
convention is called for all unprecedent-
eddy early date, and directly in the in
terests of the candidacy of the present
incumbent. Mr. VanduZee believes the
lower tier of counties can be induced
to come into the nominating convention
solidly for Mr.. Braden.

The impression is constantly gaining
ground that Hans MattSon's cause is
waning. 1t is pretty generally agreed,
however, that Scandinavian will get
the nomination for secretary of state,
but it is insisted that he will not spell
his name Mattson.

Joel Heatwole. the erudite, fearless and
poignant censor of affairs of state, diSpo-
sition of federal patronage and the like,
and who edits the Mortified News, Is
In the arena for fight for nomination
to office. There is no doubt of this. but.
strange to relate, his friends are divided
IN their opinion regarding just what
Joel wants. Some aSSeverate that to be
lieutenant governor would be to realize
his fondeSt hopes, while others declare
that there is nothing but empty honor
in the position, paratively speaking,
and he would not deign TO look in that
direction. The latter contingent say
that Joel congressman would be, and
it on some accounts sounds more reason
able, for he is ambitious, and doubtless
would like to give practical Illustration
of his ideas of proper and equitable
distribution of the offices. This being
true, Oar Hall will have to meet "a foe
man worthy of his Steel"
