tee is especially strong, and coming, as
it does, fresh from the Democracy of the
state, will be able to plan and act intel
ligently. The members of the COM
mittee are all prominent business and
professional men, and nothing in
the nature of Grassland sort of a cam
paign will be decided upon by them.
All realize that the questions to be
brought home to the voters of the state
during the next six weeks are purely of
business and patriotic nature, and
reason and argument will be the tools
employed to do this. There will be
speakers, and an abundance OF them,
provided by the committee. and consid-
cradle literature will be sent out.
Organization will be the watchword of
the hour, and at the close of this cam
paign the fighting Democracy of this
state will be better organized than it
has ever before been in the history of
the commonwealth. The times are lipe
for a political revolt of great magnitude
i'll this state, and with the harmony that
now prevails in the party there is a
widespread feeling among the people
that Judge Wilson and the balance of the
admirable state ticket placed in nomina-
ton in this city a week ago will lead the
Democracy and low-tariff voters of Min
neSOta TO a glorious victory in next Nd
vember.
Owing to a clerfea error in the
notices sent out to the members of the
committee, but few of them reached
the city last evening, but there is no
doubt that nearly every one of the
twenty-One members and all the nOmi-
nees will be in st. Paul before o'clock
this afternoon. The organization of
the committee and the appointment of
an executive committee will be COLI
Sidered first, after which the candidates
will be called in and the situation in
formally discussed. The certificates of
nomination have been made out by
Hon. Fl. r. Wells and John Landberg,
chairman and secretary of the late COLI
vention, and will be filed with Auditor
Braden this afternoon or tomorrow.
The Tilden Democratic club, new
organization patterned somewhat after
the Young Mems Democratic Club of
Boston, held short meeting at Room
40, New York Life building, last even
ing, and adjourned to meet at the same
place on next Monday evening. 1t is
proposed to make this a permanent
Democratic organization, and it is not
being organized in the interests of
any candidate or set of candi-
uotOos SlGo tOOihS tlIC w UC SCCuIcu
and the constitution provides that every
member must work for the advance
ment of Democratic principles. Unlike
the Union League Republican club, it
will not be silk stocking affair. a large
membership is expected, and this will
make the dues so light that any Dem
ocrat will be able to ally himself with
it. All Democrats who desire to be-
come members are invited to this meet
ing Monday evening.
For several days past the Republicans
of the Tenth ward have been preparing
for what they termed the ''opening
rally of the Tenth ward Republicans"
and the evening kid organ yesterday
announced that Hon. II. +. Stevens and
others would address the meeting.
Everything came off as advertised last
evening except that the speakers did
not appear, and the Ghosts" mentioned
In the evening paper consisted of four
men and G. l.. SumbardO. the member
of the county committee. The
enthusiasm was confined to him also,
as he fumed and foretold the great !
things he expected to do when he got
his jaw i'll working order. No meeting
was held, of course, and it is evident |
that other fields must be sought. as the !
sentiment of Hamline is oyerwhelm-
ingly in favor of Hon. C.. II. Benedict |
for senator.
A dispatch was received by the GLOBE |
last evening from st. Cloud saying that |
Hon. c. F. Macdonald. of that city. had
resigned his place on the Democratic |
state committee on account of his bust |
ness engagements, which would prevent |
his taking an active part in the coming |
campaign. The appointment of Mr.. |
Macdonald was unsatisfactory, and |
when this was brought to his notice he |
wrote his resignation. The gentleman |
who will take his place will be named |
to-day when Chairman Wells reaches
the city.
A number of the Ninth ward political
workers have organized 1.-The Ninth |
Ward Political club" and elected the
following officers: Theodore III. Jen- |
nings, president; August Thaung, vice
president: Joseph Fielding, secretary,
and Henry Schauman, treasurer. The |
announcement is made that the club is |
neither Democratic nor Republican, but
it will support unanimously the can
didates the mem bers see fit to indorse.
The fact is also paraded that the club is
$50 strong"
Timothy E. Byrnes, of Minneapolis,
is announced as the ''frSt speaker of
prominence" to take the stump for the
Republicans. He will address the farm
ers at the Owatonna fair to-day. The
following speakers are announced as
ready to take the stump by Secretary
Tams Bixby. of the committee:
Judge John P. Rea, F. F. Davis John Day
Smith, F. P. Lane, j. n. Burlingame, F.
H. Boardman. Fred C. Cook Charles S. |

f. Edward. A. P. Loomis, F. NJ. Nye. r. r.

F. G. Ingerso1l. Walter Holcomb and Leon 4. |
Chamberlain, ST. Paul.
It is rumored that Hon. James w.
Lawrence will retire from the Demo-
cratic state committee. If this takes
place it will not be for the reasons
which took C. +. Macdonald off the list.
Mr.. Lawrence never desired to be
named on the committee, and his retire
ment, If it takes place, will he solely |
because he desires to devote his entire
time to settling up the mass of business
which fell to him at the death Of his
hOnored partner, the late Eugene M.
Wilson. Mr.. Lawrence has the conf
dence and respect of every element of
the Democratic party.
The resignation of c.. F. Macdonald
leaves a vacancy on the state committee
which will probably be filed by a man !
fl ON the Seventh judicial district. This
districts representative. Hon. G. A.
Moody. resides at Sank Rapids, and as
it is highly necessary that the northern
end of this large district be represented, !
it is likely that 2. H. OHara. of Otter
Tail, will be selected. Mr.. O'nara is an
enthusiastic and loyal worker. and no
better man could be named to represent
Otter Tail and Douglass counties.
A mass committee appointed by the
Ramsey County Alliance committee met
