The special telegram from Washing
ton published in the st. Paul Dispatch
few days ago, giving away the APP
pOintmeht of Mr.. Evans TO his fine berth
in Gene Hays Office, has created con
siderable comment i'll Republican cir
cies in both Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The Minneapolis "HOosier gang" as
the Indiana leaders. Goodnow, Evans.
Hay and others are called, have all been
explaining, and the Harrison organ has
been worked up to high pitch.
at is we'll known fact" said one of
the ST. Paul Republican leaders last
evening, that St. Paul Republicans
have not been in it since the Inaugural
ton of President Harrison. Harrison
was opposed at the Chicago convention
by the ST. Paul delegate, w. j. Freaney,
who was formerly an Indianian; and 1t
is a fact.well known to Republicans.
that. the president never forgave
Freaney for his advocacy of Gresham
at the convention IN Chicago;
but Freaney is one Of the
few men in politics who never sues
for favor. He was wiling that Hon.
E. G. Hay, AS a 'Hoosier, should be

reason that Hay was the only Republic

makes some of the Old-time Republic
can workers very tired to see such men
as Hay, Evans. Goodnow and few
other HOoSier impOrtat;ons assume to
run the politics of this state. Of course
there are a few other trimmers like
Gen. Sanbern, who at one time declared
he could not vote for Harrison. and
an article entitled "A Loyal

president, for before it was possible for
the article to have

The editor of the paper in which the
article appeared don't think TO this day
that the cute Old general worked him
in the interests of the family scheme

nothing TO do with the recent good job
secured by Bob Evans. except TO show
how little st. Paul Republicans have
been in it unless it was On the family

But the Minneapolis Republican
workers are not Satified with the earth,
as they have it at present. being the
headquarters of the state league. having
its president, the national organizer,
Tim" Byrnes. and nearly all the fed
erai officials Minnesota is entitled to,
and they are reaching out for the state
central committee. In case Bob"
Evans is reelected to the national COM
mittee John Go6dnOT wants to be made
state chairman, and then the whole
thing will be in the family, as it were,
and the Republican party OF Minnesota
will be run under the supervision and
from offices under the big millers' ring.
There is. however, just one thing ill
addition to all that have been named
that MI. Goodnow and his fell0wwork-
ers desire 1t is that the next Repub-
iican state convention be held in Min
neapolis, and for this ali are now work
ing.
Upon the whole it is a pretty fight,
and the Republicans of Minnesota are
very likely to decide that the city Of
Minneapolis must step aside for time
and give other localities a show for
time.
