For some time past Col. Samuel Low
enstein has been quietly circulating
among his friends and acquainting
| them with the fact that he is candi-
date for delegate to the Minneapolis
| convention from this diStricI. His enc
mics in the party. unable to appreciate
his services 10 the party, have sprung
candidate after candidate against him
in the hope to force him out OF the race,
but Col. LoWenstein has compelled all
these TO pull out. The Louis Memo
boom. the Fitzgerald boom and the Mer-
RAM boom have each been frozen out.
During the past Few days. however. the
anti LowenStein forces have become
desperate. and have trotted out Editor
George Thompson. OF the Dispatch,
against the First ward statesman. aud
are doing no end of work in his behalf.
In relation 10 this move, friend OF Col
LOwenStein writes as follows:

can of this city is a candidate for delegate

ways cDniented himself with stirring up the
animhls for such positions as chairman of
ibis that or the other committee of his party
and. while be has always succeeded in rails
ing ''sheol with the party managers. he has
also succeeded III his ambitions sam brides
himself on the able manner in which ne pre-
sided over the last congressional delegate
convention in Minneapolis lie thinks that
If it were not for his trmness and GOODNESS
on that memorable occasion that the conyen-
ton would have been dispersed by the DO
lice commission
Mr.. Lowensteins only ambition now is 70

very discreet about giving out his preference
for president. but those of his friends who
know sam say he has dark. deep ambition
to spring the name Of James g. Blaine on the
convention. Ii is we'll known fact to the
initiated OF MS own party that he IS IN daily
communication with his old college chum.
Matt Quar. or pennsylvania, and. OF course
1t is only fair 10 presume that Mr. Lowen-
stein IS IN entire sympathy with the aims of
Quay TO nominate Blaine.
Mr.. LowensteIn does not hesitate 10 ex-
press his deep discomfort with the recent eff
fort made by his enemies 70 spring the can
