gress in the Third district, was in the
city yesterday and a caller at Demo-
cratic headquarters. Il have made
thorough canvass of the Eastern por-
ton of the district" he said, land am
confident that counties which gave
Heatwole a majority two years ago
will return Democratic majorities this
fall. Renville county will give me
from 500 to 700 majority, LIE Sueur from
800 to 800 and Mcleod at least 600. 1
am informed by those who know that
the change in sentiment is just as
marked in the western part OF the dis
trict." Judge Peck will deliver
an address at the county fair at Ar
nngton today and early next week
with Daniel Morgan will address the
citizens of LIE Sueur Center.
Chairman Rosing, of the Democratic
state central committee, went to Red
Wing yesterday morning to attend the
meeting of the Goodhue county Demo-
cratic committee, of which ne was
chairman. His sole purpose in attend
ing was to resign the position that he
may give his undivided time to the
work of the state campaign. F. B.
Seager, of Cannon Falls, was chosen
to fill the vacancy. The committee also
nominated F. w. Foot, of Red Wing,
for the office of county attorney When
the Goodhue county convention was
held, this place on the ticket was left
blank for the committee to fill. Mr.
Foot, the nominee, is a member of the
firm of Wilson & Foot, and is one of the
young Democrats in Goodhue county.
He will make red hot campaign and
the Democrats profess to believe that he
can easily defeat his Republican OPP
ponent.
At the meeting of the National Dem
Ocratic state central committee on Mon
day next, among other questions con-
sidered will be the assignment Of
speakers to visit the various sections
of the state in the interest of the third
ticket and sound money. Among the
prominent speakers who have thus far
rendered their services to the commit
tee are Messrs. LAWYER Cutcheon, How,
Thygeson and Boyesen.
Sidney M. Owen will speak on the
financial question at Freylinger hall,
University and Harrington avenues,
this evening. Mr. Owens argument
he happens to represent the Populists
as we'll as the Democrats in this cam
paign.
There will be a meeting of the county
Populist committee on Monday to ar
range for the campaign. The county
convention held two weeks ago ad-
journed to meet again on the 23d, at
which date it was supposed the county
Democratic. convention would be held
But the Denis have concluded to hold
their convention on the 29th and, as
the Populists cannot finish the business
Of their convention until after they
have had conference with the Demo-
Gratis it is likely the meeting on the
E5d Will be very. brief and another adj
journment had until the 18th. Of their
own strength, the Populists can accom-
pllsh nothing in Ramsey county, and
they will not likely name a candidate
FOR any office except with the sanction
Of the Democratic leaders. Although
they have some enthusiastically
those for congress and district bench
1t is not likely that the Populists will
Insist very strenuously for greater rec
Ognition than the Endorsement of their
candidate for congress. The Democrats
are apparently helpless so far as a con-
gressional candidate is concerned. but
1t is believed they will stomach the
Populists' pill in return for the honor
Of filling the other places on the county
fusion ticket.
There are only two political par
ties in North Dakota in these times
Democrats and Republicans" said
Thomas Kleinogel, of Fargo, yester-
day. Mr.. Kleinogel is chairman of the
North Dakota Democratic state CEN
tral committee, and is supposed to be
familiar with the situation in that
state. He came to ST. Paul to have an
interview with the chairman of the
Minnesota Democratic state central
committee, and if possible secure the
loan of John Lind for a series of
speeches to be delivered where they
will be of greatest service to the Dem
ocratic-Populist party sentiment in
North Dakota. Mr. Lind's time is
pretty well filled in Minnesota, but Mr..
Kleinogel was not allowed to depart
hence with a positive refusal. 1t is
possible that Mr.. Lind will cross the
Red river after his speech-making tour
of the Sixth district, and give the
North Dakota people a specimen of his
ability as an exponent of the doctrine
of sixteen to one
Free silver sentiment Is strong in
my state" said Mr.. Kleinogel, "and 1t
Is growing, too. A careful poll Of the
voters of the state is being made and
the results are surprising even to the
most ardent friends of the white metal
In some villages where there are but
fifty, sixty or seventy voters. we find
that fully IS per cent are free silver
men. In communities that hitherto
have been regarded as strong for the
Republicans, we find a majority of the
voters this year are with the Demo-
crats-or Populists, as you please. We
shall make an aggressive campaign in
every county and every village. We
want good speakers, men who are IA
miliar with the situation and who can
meet the gold orators in debate For
that reason we are anxious to secure
John Lind. From what we have heard
We believe he is just the man to set
our prairies on fire"
Ex-Gov. Hubbard came up from Red
wing yesterday and had a conference
with the powers that be, at Republican
state headquarters. In his capacity of
national committeeman, Gov. Hubbard
had a conference with the Mckinley
campaign committee at Chicago last
week. He was in Chicago several DAYS
and absorbed much that was favorable
70 the Ohio man. THE situation, so
gar as learned, while in Chicago" said
Gov. Hubbard, SIS favorable to Mr..
Mckinley. The East we are sure Of.
the West is coming into line The
nomination Of the third. ticket at In
dianapolis will be of great assistance
to the Republicans and will assure the
states of Illinois and Kentucky to the
Republicans. OF the situation in Min
nesota, / am not prepared to speak ia
detail, but that Mckinley will carry
the state have not the shadow OF
doubt, The feeling about campaign
headquarters at Chicago is one of con
fidence'
