OTuer OF the executive committee, ana
the second providing for the supervis-
ION OF all accounts by the finance conf
mlttee. The only satisfaction Mr.. Dom
nelly got out of this lengthy and dis
graceful investigation was the saddling
or about $50 expenses upon poor John
LathrOp, and this was done not by the
executive committee, but by Mr. La
throp himself, he preferring to bear the
expense rather than allow DOnnelly
and "Dec" Fish to have even a chance
to roar about the matter in the columns
OF their paper, which is so "loyally sup
porting the Alliance ticker.
The Farmers Alliance state commit
tee completed its organization yesterday
by the election of Albert Warren, of
Lake Benton, as secretary, and j. Il.
Dukes, of Minneapolis, as treasurer.
At the morning session of the commit
tee Hon, j. Nj. Burlingame, of Mime
apolis, the nominee for attorney gem
eral, appeared before the committee
and tried to decline the non nation.
His sympathieS. he said. were with the
Alliance, but he could not afford the
time to make the canvass. He was
finally persuaded to take two weeks
more to consider the matter. the mem
upon his accepting the nomination. +.
III. Rahilly and Frank w. KOlars, the
nominees for auditor and clerk of the
supreme court, have not as yet Signihed
their acceptance of the nominations, but
there is little doubt that Mr.. Koars, at
least, will do so shortly. A ii the other
nominees, Wesenberg, Mathison, Bar
rett and Owen, are now in line. The
afternoon session of the committee was
devoted to the preparation of an address
which will shortly be issued to the
voters of the state. The vacancies in
the committee were filled yesterday,
and it now stands complete as follows!
Sixteenth district. Darlington Phelps,
chairman; First district. Carl j: Judson;
Second district, Il. G. Hodgson; Third dis
t1ct, j. l.. Wright; Fourth district, J. c.
Neil; Fifth district, G. H. Roberts: Sixth
district Eric Olson; Seventh district g. w.
Brandborg; Eighth district ID. Jenkins,
Ninth district, Albert Warren: Tenth dis
trict G. W. Sprague; Eleventh district. E. S.
Erickson; Twelfth district, John Hohl;
Thirteenth district j. lie Due: Fourteenth
district, Charles Canning; Fifteenth district.
Joseph Askew; at large. Il. II. Lucas. D. Z.
Myers. A. o. Griggsby and A. l.. Gardner.
Owing to the fact that MIR. DOnnelly
and DIR. Fish were not consulted in re-
gard to the makeup of the committee
the latter declares that he will show
that it is not representative committee
in the next issue of his paper. In spite
of the doctors assertion, however. the
fact remains that it is generally con.
sidered an excellent body and one that
will compare very favorably with the
committees appointed by the two lead
ing political parties of the state. Chair
man Phelps, President Hall and nearly
all the members of both the executive
and campaign committees returned to
their homes last evening. The latter
committee will meet again in about two
weeks.
There Is movement on foot among
the Democrats of the Second district to
nominate Hon. Henry POehler, of Hen.
dersOn, for congress in that district.
Mr.. Poehler is one of the best-known
Democrats in the state, and is the only
man who ever had the honor of defeat
ing the redOubtable Major Strait for
congress. This Mr.. POehler did in 1878
by decided majority. He served one
term from 1879 to 1881 in the lower
house of congress. He was for many
years member of the state legislature,
some times serving in one house and
again in the other. AS one OF the
pioneer settlers of the Minnesota valley
he is personally known to all the old
timers. Should he be nominated the
counties of Sibley. Brown, LIE Sueur,
Blue Earth. Nicollet and several others
could be depended upon to give him
handsome maiOriTies, and, indeed, al
most insure his election. The call for
the convention in this district
has not been issued yet, but the
chairman of the district committee,
Cudoe, Dortar Of Mnniyafn yUhn tUac in
ST. Paul yesterday, says that it will be
issued very shortly.
Mayor A. r. Pfau, of Mankato, was il
st. Paul yesterday on business before
the supreme court, and improved the
time to mix in little politics with liti-
CATION. The mayor is one OF the
shrewdest political managers in the
state. and is now serving his third con,
secutye term as chief magistrate of the
flourjshing city of Mankato. AS MEM
Der of the Democratic state committee
during the campaign of 1888 he did some
great work. His name has frequently
been mentioned in connection with the
Democratic nomination for congress
against John Lind, but yesterday, in
answer to a question OF representative
of the GLOBE. Mr.. Pfau said that he
would be unable to make the fight this
year, although he was confident
style of E. G.. PAIL, OF New Ulm,
or Henry Poehler, of Henderson, could
defeat Lind. "The fact is" said Mayor
Pfau, 'sthere are about 1000 German
Republicans i'm that district who are
Thoroughly disgusted with Lind and the
high handed manner in which the Re
publican party is now running things,
and they are ready to break away from
the party. 1 regard the chances of
first-class Democrat, who will get out
and make fight, as very good, and
have no doubt we shall be able to find
Just such man."
With Mayor Pfau ON this trip was
Aid. III. Jorgensen, who has for several
wears represented the Fourth ward of
Mankato in the city council. Aid. Jor-
gensen is one of the most popular
Democrats in Blue Earth coun-
ty, and in 1889 was elect
ed to the city council in
a ward that usually gives upwards OF
$50 majority for the Republican ticket.
He is staunch Democrat, and is always
ready to join IN any effort to promote
the success of his party. He attended
after the meeting OF the state conven
tion in Minneapolis on Wednesday, and
was greatly pleased with the enthus-
iasm displayed by the Democrats who
attended from all parts of the state.
'If Hon. Daniel Buck is our nominee
for governor" remarked Mr.. Jorgensen
Yesterday. s.he will be elected by good
majority. Mr.. Buck will carry our
county by good. sound majority, and
will also make terrific inroads into the
majority of the opposition in many
other counties of the Second district"
