ST. PAUL REPUBLICANS HAVE
MORE TROUBLES THAN THEY
WANT.
THEY CANNOT GET TOGETHER.
SPLIT ON THE NATIONAL Slate,
AND LOCAL ISSUES AND CAN
DIDATEs.
GOSSIP OF THE LOCAL FIELD
Candidates for AIdermanic Honors
Are Appearing Thick and
Fast.

The St.Paul Republicans are in about
the worst mixed-up condition that it is
possible for them to get in. They are
all torn up, and every day seems to
add to their troubles. The party organs
Keep hammering away at every move
made in the interest of Cullen. TIL ~
are mortally afraid that he will get
the regular Democratic nomination,
which, with the other support which he
has already been assured of, they seem
to feel would mean his election. Any
| thing to distract attention just now
is good stuff for them.
In national matters things got so
bad that w. r. Merriam had to be
summoned, and even he has failed to
keep the recalcitrant element in line.
That, however, is worrying the lead
ers rather than the rank and file of
the party. Then Col. Kierer, despite
all promises and pledges that he would
be satisfied with two terms in con-
gress, insists on being sent back again.
AS he is not willing to crush his own
ambitions, the Republican bosses of
st. Paul have decided to crush them for
the congressman. The latter's friends
do not take kindly to that, and are
circulating petitions in favor of giving
him another term. This in itself would
be enough to stir up an unpleasant
ness
But that is not all. The mayoralty
fight is going to be bitter one. f. b.
Doran'S friends claimed q month ago
that he had cinch on the nomination.
There are Republicans who think that
they should have something to say
about such matters and they object to
having candidate force himself upon
them. They will not support Doran, if
he accepts a forced nomination. John
Copeland's friends, however, think that
Mr.. Doran's cinch Is not lead pipe
one and are working hard to pick up
few delegates around one place and
another. These with the solid First
ward they think may upset the plans
of the Sixth ward man. Then on top
OF all their other troubles comes the
committee Of eighty, which has the
moral support Of good many Re-
publicans. If they could stand all the
rest this is too much for them and the
committee of eighty is getting roasted
whenever few ambitious young Re-
publ1cans get together So that the
condition of affairs as stated heretofore
is little worse than the Republicans
OF ST. Paul have had to contend with
III q ScOo MANY years.
The latest name mentioned in CON
nection with the office of mayor is
none other than that of County At
torney Pierce Butler. 1t is the belief
OF those we'll qualified to Judge of
the strength of the various candidates
that Mr.. Butler could be elected. If he

on his return. President Messing. of
the Fourth ward club, said he had
positive information that nothing could
move Mr. Brady in his decision, and
that the young men were by rights
entitled to name his successor, and he
therefore suggested the name Of E. G.
Hinebaugh, the president of the central
organization. Mr.. Hinebaugh was pres
ent, and stated that before any action
was taken that he wanted to say he
was not a candidate for any position

not consider entering the field as an

until the next meeting.

upon that instrument.
