c. M. Pond, who has practiced law at
the bar of Hennepin for thirteen years,
two years ago was the Democratic can-
didate for district Judge, against Judge
Hicks on the Republican ticket, and
ran 1000 votes ahead of his ticket,
which was splendid showing. and
with this record his claims are certainly
worthy of consideration. He is highly
esteemed for his sterling character, and
his ability is unquestioned.

tive candidates who were nominated III

surfing compliance with all provisions OF

There is little change in the Republl-
can legislative situation from that out
lined Yesterday morning, except in the
Thirty-first and Thirty-thlrd districts.
In the former it has developed that K.
B. Langdon was not the Napoleon over
thrown by the forces of Lane, Cole and
Boardman. "Langdon, he jes' lay low
and say nothin'," in the language OF
Uncle RemuS, and he will go to the SEN
ate instead of Lane, as has been SAID:
The programme is to send Lane and
Cole to the house. Langdon to the SELL
ate and to push A. j. Boardman
for the mayoralty. Contrary to
the general impression, Lane has never
been candidate for the senate. SAID
he yesterday: Il have never thought
of running for senator. l think that
either Mr.. Cole OF Mr.. Langdon would
be better man than | for the senate.
but as general hustler in the house L
won't take back seat for any One."
The only possible inference to be
drawn from this turn of affairs is that
Lane allowed his name to be used as
senatorial candidate in order to throw
off his opponents, who would work all
the harder for Langd0n, and then turn
around and give their votes to Lane as
thank Offering for his getting out OF
the way.
In the Thirty-third district, compris-
fng the Seventh, Eleventh and Twelfth
wards, and some country districts, the
returns from the primaries showed on
their faces that NicOlay GrevStad would
be nominated for the senate. He hasn't
the nomination in a burglar-pr0Of safe
vet, by any means. GrevStad secured
twenty-one delegates in the primaries.
Yesterday it was reported Oh good IN
formation that j. NJ. Underwood had
captured thirteen of those delegates: LII
he has it will precipitate nice little
'.scrap" down in that locality. r. B.
Thomson and Aid. }. E. Vandeworker
seemed to be slated for the house, but,
since Underwood's Uhlan-llke charge
upon the outworks. the situation down
there becomes badly mixed. DR.. Per
kins, of Excelsior, is also i'll the hunt
for house honOrS.
J. A. Wolverton's tailor has already
taken his measure for the senatorial
tc~a. and A. j. Blethen has the scalp
If :. d. Mayer, he of the tinted
LEAD, dangling from his suspender but
ton. Henry Downs, also of the Fifth
ward, is slated for a representatiyeshlp
and Chas. Howard and Christ EllingSen,
now aldermen, will represent the Sixth
ward on the ticket. The Fifth ward
gets the lions share of the honor.
Out in the sacred Eight ward, which
is in the Thirty-fourth district, John
board fence around Ell Terrence, his
brother attorney and opponent for sen
atorial honors. E. p. Croker, of the
Eighth ward, and George A. Mason (nO
relation of the detective), of lndepend-
ence, have been settled upon as candl-
dates for the house.
~
Pratt will be nominated for senator
in the TWenty-ninth district, but little
has been said SO far of the other candi-
dates. In the Thirtieth the triple alli
ance, Johnson radsh-J amisOn, still
holds the fort secure from the OnSlaughtS.
Comstock The three-coruered combi
nation assert that they have nothing to
fear from Comstock, as man who leg
islates himself into an office, as Com
stock is said 10 have done two years ago
when. as a member of the legislature,
he secured place on the court house
commission, doesn't stand peanut high
in quartz cruSher.

Through third party Loren Fletcher
has again declined the mayorality NOM
ination. which, by the way, has not yet
been offered him. This sends Potter
stock Skywafd. and it may be remarked
that. after the victory in the
Fourth ward primaries, Boardman Sc
curitieS are experiencing a boom.
Many profess to believe that Fletcher'S
declinatiOn doesn't mean much, holding
that he will accept if nominated.
Fletcher, however, is foxy" He wants
to go to congress two years henceSaS is
well known. The mayors Office
is not direct road to popu-
larity. Therefore, old politicians
of the line believe that Fletcher means
it when he says no. On the inside of
the political ring, up to the time of
Fletcher'S latest withdrawal, the
chances were about even as between
Uncle Loren" and A. c. Haug
an, for. whom quiet, little
1t is safer, however, to wager that
Haugan will be chosen to run against
Kortgaard for city treasury. rather than
for the mayOralty candidate. With
Fletcher out. Boardman stands about
even with Potter with the possibility in
the distance of sable Steed being n0mi-
mated.
Chairman George W. Marchant, of
the Republican city committee. will call
the committee together Tuesday after
noon in his office in the government
building, the object of the meeting be-
ing to decide upon basis of apportion-
ment and fix date for the calling of
the city convention.
AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE.
