THE CANDIDATE.
Brief Review of the Career of the
Candidate

Alonzo ]. Whiteman was born in Dansville,
Livingstone county, N Y, June 10, 1860.
He was aseducated at Dansville seminary and
Geneseo state normal school. He graduated
with honors at Hamilton college, Clinton, n.
Y, in 1881. and studied one year in Colum-
bia Law school in New York CITY, He set
tied in Minnesota in 1882; was paying teller
in Bell & Eyster's bank, Duluth. for one year,
and then opened an Office for the sale of real
estate and pine lands, in which business he
has been ever since. Mr. Whiteman was
1884, but was defeated by d. j. Knox, of
Aiken He carried the city of Duluth in
both years. He was elected to the state SEN
ate in 1886, and was the first Democrat
elected from the Forty-siXth district, which
is the largest in the state. He took his seat
in the senate on Jan. l. 1897, and was the
youngest man ever elected to the senate in
this state with the single exception of lg
natius Donnelly. lie at once attracted atten-
ton as an industrious legislator and good de-
bator. He led the opposition to the high
license bill of 1887. a ID his argument against
the bill was one of the ablest speeches of the
session. He secured the passage of new
election law, which became known as the
'Whiteman election law" which was a great
Improvement on the old law. He favored
the Australian ballot system in 1889, and
he voted for the repeal of his own bill. He
has been leader in the Democratic party in
the northern part of the state since 1884,
and is one of the most popular and success
fuI business men in Duluth. There is no
doubt but that his nomination for congress
in the Fifth district will insure the liveliest
campaign in that district since the famous
Kindred-Nelson campaign of 1882. lie has
a wide acquaintance throughout the state.
and is probably as we'll known as any man of
his age in the state. Senator Whiteman was
married in 1889 to Miss Julia Nettleton, a
daughter of Hon. William Nett,eton, of this
CITY.

five children, has eloped with William
Nolan, dark, handsome young car
penter, with a pleasing manner
and winning ways. Last July Nolan

reached the ears of the husband that all
was not as it should be between the
handsome carpenter and his wife, and
a stormy interview followed, the re-
suit being that Nolan sought quarters
elsewhere, but the liaison between the
couple continued in spite of the in
creased watchfulness of Lyman. Yes

tiOns, wavered between her duty to her
little ones. to whom she was saying
good bye forever. and the prom
ise she had given the hand
some scapegrace who awaited. She
left the house and two hours later
joined Nolan, and the pair left for Seat
tie, Wash, to which point two tickets
had been bought by Nolan. The de-
serted husband is almost crazed, but re-
fuses to take any steps to bring back
his erring wife or punish her parrmour.

M'KUsICK AND GAG LAW.
Red-Hot Time at the Rush City
Convention.

Special to the Globe.
RUSH CITY. Minn., Sept. 28.-One of
the most exciting. interesting and novel
conventions ever assembled in Eastern
Minnesota was held here to-day. The
Republican legislative district conven-
tion of the Forty-fourth district. being
the counties of Chisago, Pine and Kan
abec, with eighty-tive delegates and
as many more of the active
workers, met here at II o'clock,
presided over by that old patriarch
Eph ingalls,, of North Branch, whose
pOnderOus weight and years of wisdom
were taxed to the utmost to keep the
delegates In order and lead them out of
the intricacies that the warning factions
were continually in during the day.
There was a great wrangle before the
credentlal committee over cOnUeSting
delegations. which being brought be-
fore the convention, demonstrated that
gag law was going to prevail from the
start. First, the delegation from
this place was unSeated on the
ground that one of the delegates
was Prohihitionist, and that they were
elected by Prohibition votes. Upon the
preliminary votes that followed excite
ment ran high. Bad blood was shown,
and accusations of fraud and gag law
were made when it became apparent
that the faction in control could spare a
few votes and still lead. At this junct-
ure Prot. Eddy came forward and de-
clined to accept seat as delegate,
whereupon the convention changed the
Rush City delegation. After consider
able voting, motions and sharp tac-
tics. next came hot contest as
to order of nominations, but the ring
was in control, and forced the nomina-
tion of representative first. August j.
Anderson, young Swedish merchant
of Franconia, being the nominee, while
l.. 81. McKusick, of Pine City, carried off
the nomination for senator. The con-
vention was under the control of Nc
Kusick, who forced matters from the
start, crowding the combination OH
Anderson, whose principle element
of strength lies in the fact
that he is a Swede and
lives in the south end of the district,
which is largely Swedish. There was
great dissatisfaction with the ticket
among the delegates, many promising
support to the Democratic nominees.
Charley Holcomb, of Saltwater, was
here doing little work ON the side.
The Democrats will hold their legiS-
lative convention here next Tuesday,
and hope to name winning ticket.

to-day, when the Comte de Paris started
for Liverpool on his way to America.
All the royalist exile colony in England

the assemblage lacked neither numbers

happy and confident, and may have
been congratulating himself on his mar
row escape from being smirched in the
general mire of Boulangist expose. The
half dozen prominent legitimatse who
accompany him ON his trip seemed to
share his buoyant spirits. The party
were attended by an astonishingly large
retinue of servants, and will travel in
truly royal style. Cries of "Vive lie Roi''
went up as the train moved away, and
the comte bowed gracefully, while the
English crowd surrounding the devoted
knot of Frenchmen looked on curiOusly,
and wondered whether they were look
ing on future king or merely per-
petual pretender.
