JOHNSON FOn SECRETARY.

The Chief Clerk Mentioned for the Posi-
ton in the Big Convention.
W~Asn,SGroS, Special. May 3.-Col
Charles w. Johnson, chief clerk OF t,e
United States senate. will probably be made
secretary of the Republican national con
vention at Minneapolis. He has already
received such recommendations from mem
bers ofthe national committee as will prob
ably secure Tor HIM this place. Members
ofthe committee who have already written
and assured him of their support arc
Payne of Wisconsin. Clayton Of Ar
Kansas, Conger of OHIO, Hyde OF Mas
sachusetts, Brady of Virginia. Tess
enden of Connecticut. Evans Of Minnesota
Hooker Of Vermont, Cheney of New Hamp-
shire and Pinchbaca Of Louisiana. Be
sides these he has received cordial assul:
ances from four Of the national
committee who are members of the unitce
States senate. as we'll as a | the Republican
senators 10 whom he has spoken on til.
subject. Both OF the Minnesota senator:
are in favor OF his selection for the place
Aside from the national committee and
senatorial endorsements, the following
from Mai. Mckinley, who heads the Ohio
delegation. is significant:
seplyine to your favor OF April 25, beg tosay
that l think your selection for secretary OF the
convention would be an admirable one. and
would be glad to render You any service l can i'll
that direction.
IN JoHNsoN's FAyoE.
One of the reasons why Col. Johnson
would be well fitted for the position is his
wide ACQUAINTANCE with public men and
airy affairs and situations. He would be Q
great assistance to the presiding officer, boil
because he would know at sight every prom.
inent man in the convention, and being
able to assist the presiding officer in any par
liamentary way on any occasion that might
arise instantly without any consultation OF
consideration. Besides this. COL. johnson
has sufficient voice to be heard in the con-
vention hall, and, having tried the capacity
of the exposition building, where the con.
vention will be held. knows that he can
make himself heard in every part OF it. As
reading clerk he will be a success in the
convention. As the convention is to be
will be gratitied to have one OF her citizens
selected tor this important position. One
member of the committee has raised tls
question as to whether it would be advisa-
bic to select q Minnesota maj for secretary
in view of the fact that the convention
is held in Minnesota; but this has
little weight, as there will be assistant sec.
~retaries and assistant reading clerks
chosen from outside states. Butt seems 10
be very proper thing to select a man like
Col. johnson for chief secretary of the con-
vention tor the reason above stated. Mem.
bcrs of national committee were very
1avorablv impressed with the admirable
statement Col. Johnson read before the
committee when he was urging upon then
the selection OF Minneapolis as Il place o
holding the convention. So far there has
been no other application Tor the place ant
there is no doubt that Col. johnson will be
selected SECRETARY OF the national conven.

Palmer Was Hit.

TOWER. Min, Special, May CLARK
Winchell and A. A. Palmer, the latter col
ored, met this morning. drew revolvcrs and
fired. Palmer's gun missed fire, but
Winchell's efforts were successful. The
bullet lodged in Palmer's neck and his re-
covery is very doubtful. A few days ago
Neil Bowie, a friend of Winchell, was fired
from q boarding house and he partly at
tributed it to Palmer, who was inmediately
taken in and given Bowie's room. The
fact that Palmer was colored rather nettled
other parties and Monday he received q
letter signed "Whits Caps warning him to
leave town. Thoroughly frightened,
Palmer prepared himself, with the result
above stated, this afternoon. Scott Straws,
also colored, met Bowie and gave him a
thrashing. All of them are in custody.
