CAST Reappointed.

| Gov. Nelson yesterday took one OF
the preliminary steps toward vacat.
| ing his present official position by
| filling out, almost in it's entirety, the
| list of appointees for the years
1855. There had been much specu-
lation as to the probable course OF
! the governor in this matter, and
there were not a few who expected
| that only few minor appointments
would be made by Nelson, and that
| the main offices would be filled by
| Clough on his accession to authority.
| But the adherents OF the latter
theory are now shown to have been
completely in error, for Gov. Nelson
| waded into his appointments as Sc
renely as if he had still two years
| Of incumbency OF the gubernatorial
chair ahead of him. This is not
construed by those near the throne
| as slight in any sense to Gov.
Clough, but the contrary. There will
necessarily be a good many sore
heads, and they will have greater
opportunities for healing between
now and 1901 than they will be-
tween now and 1895. In other words,
Gov. Nelson, in effect, says: eff any
of you fellows have a grievance, just
charge it up to me. Don't go kick
ing to Dave, because he can't help
it. I am running the machine, and
am solely responsible for the Slip
ping of any cogs."
This magnanirlous action of the
governor that is pulls the governor
that is to be out OF a good many
kinds of scrape and let's him down
easy with the horde Of hungry place
hunters. The Offices which have
been filled by appointment are as
follows:
Superintendent of public instruc-
ton, w. w. Pendegast, two years;
reappointed.
George l.. Becker, railroad COM
missioner for term of three years;
reappointed.
Charles A. Gilman, state libra
rian, two years; reappointed.
William Bird, of Fairmont, mem
mission, for a term of six years.
Alex Nichols, chief engineer state
capitol, two years; reappointed.
Andrew Grindeland, of Warren,
succeeds John Cromb, and T. B.
Ward, of Alexandria, succeeds VIII
lam E. Lee on the reformatory
board.
On the state board of equalization,
Claiming Seabury has been reap
pointed in the Second district, and
Victor Gillrup, of Albert Lea, to
succeed Nels Carpenter.
J. G. Nelson, Saltwater, surveyor
Of logs and lumber, succeeds Jacob
Bean.
S. S. Brown, of Minneapolis, sur
veyor general Of the Second district.
reappointed.
Andrew Eil1en, of Crookston, sur
veyor general Of the Seventh dis
trict, to succeed Albert Kaiser.
John W. Mason, of Fergus Falls,
trustee of the Minnesota hospitals
for the insane, reappointed.
John Byers, Hastings, reappointed
to the board of control of the state
public school.
G. H. Smith, insurance commits
sioner for two years, reappointed.
E. G.. Bloomfield, of Willmar, has
been appointed boiler inspector for
the Third district.
Adjt. Gen. Muhlberg and Capt. M.
r. Converse, military storekeeper,
are reappointed.
w. H. Putnam, of Red Wing, sue
ceeds Alexander Jamison on the re-
form school board.
Judge L. L. Baxter succeeds him
self on the soldiers home board.
C. G.. Thorpe, of Hancock, succeeds |
H. w. Stone on the state board of
equalization.
Henry Poehler, of Henderson, re-
turns to the state reformatory
board, and Chris Amundson, of st.
Peter, to the board of correction
and charities.
There are a number of more or
less important appointments still to
come, and it is estimated that they
Will average up pretty wen Will
those named. A. G. Ciausen will |
undoubtedly retain his position at |
the head of the grain inspection de-
partment, while Cheese and Butter |
Anderson will retain his connection |
with the Skaffaren dairy depart |
ment. 1t was rumored that Bob |
Clark was to walk out of the boiler |
inspectors office, but when it was |
learned that he was opposed by Tim |
Reardon things took on a more |
hopeful aspect for him, and this will |
probably save him. Surveyor Cen |
eral Ash, of Duluth, will probably be |
succeeded by a gentleman named |
Getty.
The appointment Of John G. Mel |
son, of Saltwater, was not unex-
pected in the First district, while !
that Of S. S. Brown was all along
conceded in Minneapolis. 1t is eX-
pected now that all vacancies will
be filled before Gov. Nelson retires.
