one of the few VINO heard the subject

was left to mediate on his first bad

this question, he would spare himself
much unnecessary persplrau0n.
Since @. NJ. LOring returned to the
city there have been several back-Oftice
sessions held 10y q few who are at the
bead of affairs IN city politics. The
mayOTaity question has been discussed
in all its bearings by these Self-cOnStI-

he is known 10 have expressed a desire

wards. The Republicans realize their
position very keenly. and are bent Oh

and there is no reason to believe at this
writing that be has changed his mind.
So Carmen n. Smith. the worthy
chairman of the Republican city com
mittee, is not to be Gene Hays right
bower after all. The young district at
tOrney, il is said, did not relish the way
he was handled by certain local at
t0rnevs when he was fighting haYOT
STEVENSON. and, while he partially
promised Carmen first place on MS
staff, was forced by protests from the
country against Minneapolis people get
ting everything, to let Attorney Smith
drop as easily as possible and save the
credit of the party as much as possible,
though from present indications the
DaIty's credit is way below par in the
estimation Of the Evening Jaw. The
plum Ia the district attorneys office will
go to the country, though the clerkship
still hangs between eX-CleTk Daily, OF

be forced TO retire, and Gene"
compelled to divide the crumbs with Re-
puUlicans outside Hennepin county.
But he can do as he pleaseS about that,
and he no doubt knows that one term is
all he can expect to get and he may
never have such an opportunity again
OF helping his friends. If he takes this

cool" Tim Bvrnes is nothing If not
pOluc. Tim Is shrewd, and those who
do not think SO will probably be con-
WINGED when they hear the plan the ap-
pOintment clerk Of the United States
treasury department is said to have
mapped out for meeting the deficit in
the treasury of the Republican state
league. Tams BiXby. the secretary of
thar bankrupt organization. holds paper
for 81, 200 against the league for salary.
The story goes that Col" Tim Byrnes
is backing BiXby for clerk in "Geue'
Hays Office on condition that BiXby
will not force his $1,000 claim,
thus cutting down the deficit
90 less than $1,000. This reported
scheme Of Tim was talked of by sew
eTal Minneapolis Republicans during
the past week, but none would vOuch
Tor its authentjIy, though all we're of
the opinion that there was more truth
than poetry in it. The clerkship ii the
district attorneys office will be a four
year sinecure, and it is we'll known that
Tim ByTDes talked all he could for Hay
before the latter'S appointment, and it
would be nothing but a game OF ''divy"
for "Gene" TO help Tim out now. If
Biyby will burn his little bill, and take
the plum which, reports say, has been
offered him. he will be level-headed. for
she Republican state league handled
more money last year than 1t will ever
sgain.
