Wan papers are boiling at the rate Of
one or two day the boys gOodnatured.
~ make estimates. claiming the election
of the entire state house ring ticket.
OF course Chairman TamS BiXDy is
really to blame for this, because the
figures used in all of these "guesseS of
encouragement" come from him. He
ought 10 be well posted. and he may
be, but he takes care 10 conceal the
facts. if he is. as will be shown by the
reproduction of a CONVEX saiion with Mr..
BiXby yesterday. Preliminary to this,
however, it is best to call the attention
of the reader to the fact that Chairman
BlXby started this camp align two months
ago with the words:
NELSON'S plurality will be $4,000"
At the time he made this sIateme MT
the Democrats had not passed the Will
son bill. the Populists were unorgan-
lied, all The Republican Scandinavian
papers were in line for Nelson and the
ticket, and yet Chairman Biyby claimed
but $1,000 plurality for Gov. Nelson
How different is the situation now.
The Democrats are encouraged and
working to get every Democratic vote
to the polls, and the Populists are con-
coded $1,000 votes by as good RapuD-
Gcan authority as the st. Paul Dispatch.
But all these changes have not affected
Chairman Bixby, who, when asked for
all estimate yesterday, said:
Il have not changed my figures. |
place Gov. Nelson's plurality at from
$4,000 TO 25,000."
"How would you divide the vote?'
81 have not divided it at ALL" was the
bland response.
"Have you estimates On any of the
countless"
"Oh, you can't get any figures of that
kind today" was tho reply as the con-
yersation clused.
The Republican Dispatch comedies
S. NJ. Owen no less than $1,000 votes
and Gen. Becker, $4,000, claiming 1867
600 for Gov. Nelson. This estimate con-
cedes PopuliSt gain over 1892 of no
less than $1,000. If the vote OF Mir. Dom
nelly be taken, ana Of 81, 900 ii the COM
parison be made with the Weaver vote
The Dispatch comedies too much. :
The estimate it makes is confession
of defeat Oh its face.
The estimate Of the Prohibition vote
at ten thousand is tive,' and probably
eight thousand too small. Mr.. lille
Doe. the Prohibition candidate, Is very
popular in Northern aud Western Min
nesota, and is making vigorous CAM
paign. Two years ago, without work.
W. }. Dean received more than 1000
votes, while Ole Kron, who ran for
lieutenant governor Oh the same ticker,
received $4,000 votes. Ovens vote is at
least 10000 too small. Find Repnb-
lican from the north, east, south or west
in this state. and ask him if AIR. Owen
is going to run as well as he did in 1890.
aud he will say, II not for publication,
that he is. and. perhaps. little better.
so mucn for the Country districts. In
st. Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth no
one al all posted will deny that the VOTE.
given Owen IN these threa places will
be doubled at least in Henncpin, multi
piled by three in Ramsey anu by four in
st. Louis. The Owen vote in these
counties in 1890 follows:

MIR. Owens vote was large in Mime
apOlis in 1890 because there was grave
disaifectlon among the Republicans,
and because it was the home of Owen.
In Ramsey and st. Louis MIR. Owen was

| This will be a gain over 1890 OF 1900.

| A gain of 4.001 more is not too much to
| predict in towns like Brainerd, Winona,
| Mankato. st. Cloud, Fergus Fails,
| Moorhead, CroOkSt0n and Little Fails.
| This will bring the PopuliSt total to
$1,000. In the Dispatch estimate the
! Democratic vote Is 5000 too small.
In 1890 Judge Wilson reached bed-r ocii

Gratis have been leaving the third party

il. Another point remains to be rx-

260. 00G for the tOta! vote is too high.

the presidential and "off-year" votes
