Talking Ht Over.
Some time was spent in general dis
cussiOn of the situation, after the settle
ment of the senatorial matter, and it
was nearly 10 o'clock when the meeting
broke up and the members left for their
hotels and homes. The fact that there
are so many Democrats in this egiSla-
ture made the old veterans like Repre-
sentativeS Skinner, of Brown; German
and zimmerman, of StearnS; Kelly, of
Ramsey, and Senators Brown. of Nc
LeOd; Morse. of Hennepin; GeiSsel, of
Morrison, and Lienau, of Ramsey, feel

and active as Representatives Boylan,

greSSive element of the party and the
people. Prominent as he has been in
professional and political circles, he has
just turned his thirty-third year. He
was born at Prairie du Chen, Wis,
Nov. %, 1859, and is the third son of the
late Gen. John Lawler, widely known
in business and political circles. The
subject of this sketch obtained his
political proclivities naturally. His
father was for many years a leading
Democrat of Wisconsin, who declined
at different times nominations for gov

who in 1872. 1876 and 1880 was delegate
to national Democratic conventions, and
also headed the electoral ticket in Wis
consin. In 1876 Gen. Lawler ran ahead
of his ticket to such all extent that the
official canvass Was necessary to deter
