III am nOHllllattu ioT HoNetHot W
he Democratic state convention l
promise now to give the GLOBE advance
iheets of my letter OF acceptance"
With this pleasant remark, Hon.
Henry W. Lamberton, of Winona, tried
to dispose of the subject OF his candl-
dacy, OF rather his boom for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination.. at the
Merchants yesterday. His purpose In
making this statement was not so much
to assure the GLOBE scoop" as to IN
dictate that lie had no time to listen to
suggestions that would lead to placing
him actively in politics. Perhaps the
fact that Nj. q. Norton and Thomas
Simpson, two of his Republican fellow
citizens and neighborS, we're present 10
hear his response had something to DO
with moulding this answer, but there Is
no doubt that the DISTINGUISHED and
popular Winonan is averSe to all sug-
gestions of this nature. That he would
decline if nominated, however, is I'M
possible. The LamOertOES are not that
style of Democrats.
May be DIR. Craig.
Mr.. Lamberton Is OF the opinion that
some OF the younger Democrats should
be considered at this time, although he
had no candidate to suggest, believing
with Rationale Committeeman Doran and
many others, that this is no time for
any one to go about selecting candl-
dates. LET the convention do the
talking about candidates as we'll as the
nominating" said Mr.. DOran. and this
sentiment Mr.. Lambertun heartily in-
dursed when 1t was told him by repre-
sentative OF the GLOBE. Speaking OF
the situation in the First congressional
district, Mir. Lamberton said that the
result depends entirely upon the Pop
ulist vote. Senator Craig, of Waseca,
has been mentioned as candidate by
the Democrats, and in all quarters it is
conceded that he will make strong
race if nominated.
While there were comparatively few
of the delegates to Wednesdays con-
vention in the city yesterday, those who
were on hand discussed the situation
freely and frankly. +. u. Winston and
David b. Johnson came over from the
Mill City early ia the afternoon. They
were caught on the fly and asked their
opinions as to what will be done at the
state convention. Both answered at
the same time, and their answer was:
Straight From minneapolis.
Nominate straight ticket and then
do our best to elect it,"
That this is the sentiment of large
majority of the delegates to the conven-
ton has been shown by the reports of
the action taken at the various county
conventions. But few have declared
tor any other course, but those that
have will undoubtedly follow their i'll
st1uctions, present the name of s. Nj.
Owen, and when defeated they will be
for the Democrat that wins. One of the
leaders of this element of the conven-
zion will be Editor John j. Ryder, of
the Rock County News. He states that
his people have sent him here with
Instructions, and these instructions he
will follow to the letter. A meeting of
delegates instructed for MIR. Owen has
been called for $50 Wednesday morning
at Labor hall, corner Third and Wa
basha streets, where the situation will
be discussed.
Talk of Candidates.
There was little talk of candidates
yesterday, but the name of W. s. Ham
mond, of Watonwan, brought forward
in the GLOBE yesterday was most
favorably received. Several mentioned
that veteran apostle of Democracy, Hon.
Levi w. Folsom. of Taylor's Falls. and
there is no doubt that he Is to have q
very decided boom before the conven-
ton meets. Although II. w. LANDER.
ton insists that his boom is joke, he has
it nevertheless. Senator Sam P. Brown,
Of Mcleod. has strength, as has also
Senator McHale. of Shakopee. For
lieutenant governor Hon. John Ludwig,
of Wiuona, is mentioned, and for secre-
tary OF state John ID. Kynaston seems
to lie favorite. For clerk of the
supreme court. Leslie Matthews, of
Swift,has been suggested. For attorney
general there are no active candidates,
but there are several young
