Special to the Globe

WASHINGTON, April l4.-Chairman
of the Chippewa Indian commission,
Hon. W. NJ Campbell, of st. Paul; col
leetor of customs. port of ST. Paul, John
c. Geraghty, of Rosemount; receiver
Crookston land Office, Hon. William
Anglim, of CrOokSton.
That the Minnesota Democracy had
the ear as well as the good will of the
president and the secretary of the in
terror today is evidenced by the fact
that the three frst-cIasS offices given
above were filled with Democrats. In
the case of Mr.. Geraghty. the
term of the Republican incum-
bent, Col. c. q. Edwards, ex-
pired several days ago,but the other
vacancies were created by the removal
of Republicans. At the CrookstOn land
office l.. K. Aaker. the campaign man.
ager of Gov. Nelson last year, was
pitched out without ado, partly because
of his offensive partiSanShip, but prin-
cipally because of the fact that Capt. I.
A. Dunlava. who had been appointed
few months before the end of Mr..
Cleveland's first term, was removed for
no cause save to furnish place for Mr..
Aaker.
The Second Removal
is that of eX-CongreSsman "Dar" S.
Hall, who has been removing Chippewa
Indians from Mile Lacs to White Eerth
for the last two years. The three ap-
p0intees are we'll known to the Demo-
cracy of Minnesota, eX-Marshal Camp
bell being probably acquainted with all
the Democrats in the state. In his case.
although he had several strong oppO-
nents. it did not take Mi. Cleveland long
to make up his mind.
Il am only sorry" he is reported to
have said, ''that | have not something
better to offer Mr. Campbell. l am sat
isfied that he will do good work in this
post, however, and It may be that it is
just where he is needed"
The principal opponents of Mr.. Camp
bell were r. X. Doe, of Duluth, and eX-
Aid. Bernard ClOutler, of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Doe and Maj. Baldwin pushed the
formers claims most perSlstently and
would undoubtedly have won, had
Campbell been less vigorously sup
ported by National Committeeman
DoTan and the leading Democrats of
the state. With this strong support
and a personal acquaintance with the
president, however, the eX-marshal was
An Easy winner.
In the case of the CrOOkStOn receiver
ship there were but two candidates, eX
Mayor Anglim and Capt. Dunlava, who
were treated so shabbily by the Repub-
licans four years ago. Each had strong
backing, and the matter was finally left
TO MIR. Doran. Both were his friends,
and when he went to the White house
yesterday he told how Capt. Dunlava
had been treated. and then said:
Mr. President. this is the exact sit
nation. They are both good men, and
good Democrats, but. under the crcum-
see Mr.. Anglim appointed"
The president took the papers, and
Mr.. Anglim's pane was on the list this
morning. The new receiver at Crook
StOn is a well-knOwn merchant, who has
resided in the Red liver valley for many
years. That he will make good officer
no one doubts that knows him. Col.
Edwards successor as collector is
a well-known leader in the Demo-
cratic party of Dakota county, and
is a merchant at ROSemount. His
principal competitors were Henry Mic
Olin, of Scott; Ii. T. Tolmie. of Fillmore,
and d. w. HiXs0n, of Grant. Mr.. Ger
aghty's appointment was made as per-
SOnal to Mr.. DOran, who plainly told the
president that he did not like to request
it on account Of the fact that Mr.. Ger
agility is related to him. Altogether it
was a field day for Minnesota, and Ma
tiOnal Committeeman DOran was very
largely in it.
