Senator c. K. Davis and Congressman
John Lind are expected TO arrive from
Washington this morning, and in that
event the senior senator will be the
chairman of the convention. At the
meeting Of the state committee held at
the Windsor last evening the question
of the committee selecting man to
recommend TO the convention for tenn
.p0rary chairman came up and was bit
terly opposed by several members.
I'VE do not want to follow the preee-
dent set by the Democrats at their state
convention" said one, land foist man
upon the delegates"
Several others agreed with the speaker
and it was decided as matter of policy
that no recommendations will be made
to the convention, although the method
of making the selection will be not far
removed from the method pursued i'll
making recommendations. In case Sen
ator Davis does not act Hon. E. Z. Ken
dali, of Duluth, the probable Republi-
can nominee for congress in the Sixth
district, will be made temporary chair
man and Senator c. r. Davis, of Nicol-
let county, permanent chairman.
The delegates to the convention are
largely young men, mauy of the old
familiar faces being absent. Capt. w.
p. Huntington, of Redwood Falls, turns
up smilingly with the distinction of be-
ing the second Minnesota Republican to
refuse federal office from the present

Among the delegates here there is a
very decided objection to instructions,
and it is very certain that there will be
none given to the delegates selected.
Not even the federal officials, who may
be set down as Harrison meE, are in
favor of instructions, and will see that
no attempt is made to tie up the delega-
ton.
'sThere is but one candidate the Re-
publican party can nominate at Minne-
apolis,', remarked one of these,
"and that man is President Har-
rson. The Republicans of Mime
sofa are naturally Blaine men,
but, as he is not in the race, they feel
kindly toward Harrison, and will sup
port him. Under all the circumstances
it would be absurd to attempt TO in
struct the delegates to the Minneapolis
convention.
There Will be no instructions.
