MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 80, 1890.
lCOnfidential.1
You are earnestly requested to be present
at meeting to be held at the office of
ing, Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 7:30 p. M,
for the purpose of consultation in matters
preliminary to the call of the convention
which will nominate a candidate for mayor.

FRED G. Cook.
This confidential note has been sent
to over 100 prominent Republicans, and
the object of it is to secure the advice
of the big guns of the party on the
mayOralty question. 1t is probable that
this conference will decide that Loren
Fletcher is the man to be nominated
of such conclusion, every possible
pound of pressure will be brought to
bear upon "Uncle Loren' to accept the
nomination, even at the expense of his
congressional al ambitions.
Outside of Fletcher, who has repeat
eddy declared that he wants to keep out
of the fight. E. 6. Potter is about
the only available candidate of the Re-
publican party for mayor. The nomi-
nation of BOardman for the senate
leaves Potter almost alone in the zelda
AS is well known, Potter is possessed of
an overweening desire to be mayor, and
he will do everything in his power to
compass the nomination. Here is what
Potter says of his reasons for wanting
to become mayor:
Il am candidate for mayor, subject. of
n mis-
city convention. l have little else to say eX
cept that if nominated i shall make the can
vass in favor of clean, business like admin
istration. This is what 1 would make the
race on and this is the kind of an administra
ion propose to give ii elected. | have been
reasonably successful in business and l am
frank to say the reason want TO be mayor is
because believe it will benefit me i'll my
business prospects. That is more than any
thing else that induces me to make the run.
| believe that good. sound business admin
istration, such as | believe L can give,
would be a benefit and credit to any young
business man. l think / can please the
majority of the people. 1 don't expect to
please everybody"
The project of uniting the Democratic
county and city committees is HOW
under discussion. 1t is proposed to APP
roint one committee which shall repre-
sent both the city and the county ard
thus centrallZe the work OF the fall
campaign. The plan meets with good
deal of commentator, although 1T has
not yet been definitely decided upon.
1t is believed by good many that wele
one committee appointed to take charge
of the work of both county and city
tickets the efforts of the party would be
more unanimous and consistent and the
campaign could be handled more econ
Omically, as we'll as more eiiergetically.
c. M. Foote is talked of as chairman Of
the joint committee and w. II. Trip
for secretary. both of whom would be
admirable men for the places, but Mr..
FOote said yesterday that he had not
yet decided to accept the craftsmanship
and all its attendant work.
1t was reported yesterday that F. G.
HOlbrook had decided to accept the
nomination for county auditor. Mr..
Holhrook could not be found, and the
rllmCr is uncOnfirmpd
