AMONG THE POLITICIANS.

The Democratic county committee
held another meeting last night in the
Office Of James W. Lawrence. 1t was
expected that all of the committeeman
would be able to report the appointment
of precinct committees. Only few
of them were ready. The rest
will be fixed up in few days
and as soon as appointed will be given
publicity through the papers. The sec.
rotary of the committee is now engaged
in making out the apportionment OF
delegates to the various precincts. AS
soon as his work is finished the official
call of the county convention will be
issued and printed in all the local pa
pers. The committee will meet again
in two weeks.
A. j. Boardman has been talking
politics again Republican politics, too.
He comes out squarely against the cam
didacy of r. B. Langdon for delegate at
large to the Republican national con-
vention. He thinks that Langdon is
one of the last men to be given that
place. He says it is about time Mime
sofa Republicans sent some one to ma
tional convention that could represent
the feeling of the people. He points
with glee at the record made 10y MI.
Langdon in national conventions. In
1876 Langdon voted for E. b. Wash
hurne. and Hayes was nominated; In
1884 for Arthur, and Blaine was success
full; i'll 1888 for Alger when he had been
instructed for Blaine, with Gresham as
second choice. Boardman's ticket is
R. g. Evans for delegate at large; Will

as delegates from this district. Board
mans opposition to Langdon is not
hard to explain TO any one who remem-
bers the legislative convention tights of
last year.
The Republicans have been misrepre-
senting Alonzo Phillips, of the Fifth
ward. 1t has been said that Mr.. Phil
lips is leading fight in the Fifth ward
against the candidacy of Mayor Winston
for delegate at large to the Chicago con-
vention. Mr.. Phillips says he is not
leading any fight on any one. He lives
in Mayor Wipston'S precinct, and, so
far as he has been able to discover,
there is no opposition to the mayors
candidacy. He himself is not candi-
date for place OH the delegation to the
state convention.
W. r. Morris, the cOlored attorney,
objects to the statement that the Afro
American League of Minnesota will in
sist that colored man be sent to the
national Republican convention as one
of the delegates at large. He says that
the Afro-American league is in no sense
political organization. 1t was formed
for the sole purpose of advancing the
interests of the colored people and Sc
curing to them the rights to which they
are entitled under the law. He declares
further that the league will never be-
come political organization so long as
he is its president. 1t is not taking any
part whatever In politics.
The question of uniform for the
members of the Union league is the
question that is agitating the minds OF
the members of that frothy organiza-
ton at present. William Buffers is the
chairman of a committee delegated to
look up the matter. His committee is
in favor of soft felt hat OF navy blue.
with gold cords, navy blue cape, red,
white and blue umbrella and cane COM
bined. and silver badge. Many of the
members think that such a gilt-edged
have something better-something in
silks. William Henry Eustis wants the
club to adopt the umbrella idea, and
drill with it.
A. j. Boardman offers ssme cogent
reasons why the Republicans should
send r. B. Langdon to the national con-
Vention. He effectively argues that MIR.
Langdon has always been right in pol
iticS-When he wasn't wrong.
Congressman Kittel Halvorsen admits
that he never heard of Judge Walter O.
Gresham. 1t is we'll. Messrs. Edgar
and Reeve will not feel SO lonely now.
The Union league members are puZ-
cling their brains over uniform to wear
during the national convention. They
might wear a uniform opinion for a
change.
II. W. Foote argues that the Eighth
warders want branch library because
they have no saloons, and want amuSe-
ment. What more do they want when
they have John Day Smith?

cars to catch the eye of the patrons. If
it would provide few more cars to
catch the overflow OF traffic the innOva-
ton would be better appreciated.
The Journal devotes stickful 10 the
explanation of "a bit of repartee''
dropped in the district court last Satur-
day. Judge Lochren should hire rep

Journal court reporters.
1t is every day becoming more evil
dent that majority of the Minneapolis
newspaper men were poor boys, de-
prived of the usual educational facil.-
ties. They are very poor manipulators
of the slate.

awaiting some such action on the part
