crystalize the anti-Harrison senti-
ment. In his opinion, Blaine's letter
of declinatiOn of the nomination is
final, as final as was his letter
from Florence four years ago.
Blaine will not be nominated unless un-
fOrseen circumstances arise. Senator
Washburn is averse to saying in so
many words that Harrison will not be
nominated. or that he is opposed to the
nomination of the president He does
say, however, that there is a general
feeling in the country against giving
one man more than one term in the
presidential chair. AS to other candi-
dates, Mckinley, he thinks, would be
strong man presented with the indorSe-
ment of Ohio. Jerry Rusk is also being
pushed, and would make an admirable
nominee, especially as a magnet for the
votes of the farmers. His own candl-
dacy? lie laughed at the idea. If
Minnesota wants to present the name OF
a favOrite son to the national convention
she must hunt up some other man, says
the senator.
Senator Washburn does not believe
thOt either Hill or Cleveland will be the
Democratic nominee. German has the
best chance, according to his way of
thinking. Next to German comes the
possibility for some Western man, like
Palmer or Boies, being nominated.
Washburn says that his anti-optiOn
bill, as amended, is going to become
law. He insists that the amendments
do not change the character of the bill.
lie was convinced that the first bill was
oil .isrlf
lawyers in the country had given it as
their opinion that the bill was all right
from legal standpoint; but the amend
ments are satisfactory to the grain men,
and they do not impair the effectiveness
of the bill as preventative of gambling
IN food products. The bill provides
that grain that IS really in existence
may be sold for future delivery, and
may be sold and resold indefinitely be-
tween up to the time OF delivery, but it
must be actual grain, not the speculative
article. He thinks that the Behring
sea difficulty will be settled satisfac-
torily to all concerned.
SenatOrWashburn will remain in Min
neapolis until the fore part of next
week, and then return to Washington.
The Democratic congressional COM
mittee for the Fifth district met yeSter-
day afternoon in Mayor Winston's Of
flee. The committee was called by
Chairman Jepson to discuss the matter
of whether the congressional convention
should be held con jointly with the regu-
lar county nominating convention. The
decision of the committee was that the
congressional convention will be con-
vention all by itself. 1t will have no
connection whatever with the county
convention. A separate set of primary
elections will be held for the election of
delegates, too. The congressional con-
ventiOn will not be held until after the
county convention, and the call will not
be issued until after that for the county
convention. The congressional com
mittee will now have little to occupy its
time. inaSmuch as the call for the con-
vention will not have to be issued until
some time next August.
An evening organ OF Republicanism
is authority for the statement that there
is a fight on among the Republicans
over the manner of choosing the dele
gates to the state convention for the
nomination of the delegates to the ma
tional convention. The fight is being
made by the young blood OF the party,
The anti Harrison men are said to be in
favor of having each ward delegation
appointed by the representatives of its
own ward instead of letting the chair
man of the convention appoint COM
mittee, that committee having the APP
pointment of the delegates to the state
convention. 1t is claimed that this old
system of appointing and electing dele
gates has toe much of the slate about it.
In connection with this information the
Republican organ in question says. by
way of accounting for the anti-HarriSOn
sentiment:
"These dissidents are chagrined be-
cause of the appointments which Pres.
ident Harrison has made in Minnesota
in general, and from Minneapolis in
particular. They claim that the man in
the White house has galvanized more
political corpSeS in this city than ali
previous administrations, and say. for
the most part, that his appointments
from Minneapolis we're so many cipherS
with the rims torn off"
1t must be pleasing to Tim Byrnes, S.
l.. Trussell, George Marchant, Maj. w.
d. Hale and the rest to be referred to by
their own party newspapers as ''poIit-
zeal corpses" and ''ciphers with the
rims torn off"
The fact that Blaine is out of the race
means good deal to Minneapolis in
connection with the convention. 1t
means, if good authority is to be be-
lieved, that Minneapolis will not be
called upon to take care of nearly so
big crowd as would be the case were
there possibility of the nomination of
the Maine man. Speaking of this yes
ToI, oh &
the convention committee on transpor-
tation, said:
"The 500 people tell me that the rail
roads are receiving orders for sleeping
car room conditional upon Blaine
being in the presidential race. The
orders are that if Blaine is not in the
fight but half as much sleeping car
room will be needed as would be de-
manded were his name to 60 before the
convention. Talk of this kind, of course,
comes from the New England states,
but it is significant, and will make
good deal of difference with the size of
the crowd in Minneapolis"
People who are looking for political
straWs may find in this straw indI-
eating the Republican chances for sue
cess with any other candidate than
Blaine.
The Democratic county committee
met last night and made all arrange
ments for the holding of the primaries
next Saturday night. The committee
men were supplied with the proper
blanks for filing in the returns
from the primaries and instructed
TO see that the blanks were placed in
the hands of the precinct committeeman.
Instructions to inspectors and electors
were adopted as indicating how Dem
! ocratic caucus should be conducted,
fairly and honestly. without favor to
any one, and the instructions were dis
tributeu so that they may be in the
hands of all the committeeman before
the primaries of Saturday night.
