Why Holcombe Was Named for Clerk
of the Court.
GOV. MERRIAM'S TEARS.

General News of the Bluff
City.

Senator E. w. Durant, who met sew
eral of the faithful during the week at
st. Paul, told the GLOBE reporter yes
terday that the nomination of Holcombe
as clerk of the supreme court was
made merely as sop to the Scandinavia
ans OF Washington county, of whom
Gov Merriam is said to be very much
AFRAID. No one here expects that Sher-
iff Holcombe will attempt the duties of
the office of clerk OF the court if elected.
but will farm the work out to some one
who will take the fees, or portion of
them, for pay. 1t is understood that the
Republicans, thinking it the saving
policy to have Swede on the county
ticket, have made all arrangements to
put up c. S. Peterson. of Marine, for
sheriff to succeed HolcOmbe. The Nor
wegianS, however, are FESTIVE at too
much Swede dictation, and threaten to
kick. 1t would not be much of sur
prise if the Democrats nominate for
sheriff the veteran soldier, Adam
Marty, who has been the Republican
deputy sheriff during the last two years.
There is every evidence that the Re-
publicans are much disturbed, and
Merriam has no means to secure hold
on this county. In the opinion of Sena-
tor Durant, the Democratic state eXecu-
tive committee will meet in st. Paul.
next Wednesday or Thursday, and will
issue call for the state convention to
meet at some date in the latter part OF
AUG ust.
Church services to-day are announced
as follows: First Presbyterian, morn
ing theme. my Brothers. Keeper
evening theme, Christ, the Universal
Helper;" Methodist church, morning
theme, ''Incentiye.''
The first Presbyterian church will be
closed during the next three weeks eX-
cept for the Sunday school and social
meetings.
