pathy is all with the sound money men in

be happy to avail myself OF your invitation
and attend the conference.
Edward Lees. Winona-I am heartily in

money Democratic committee at Chicago, aisd
am heartily in favor of the proposition ad-
vanced by sound money Democrats in other
states that an independent convention be
held which shall be Democratic IN truth as
well as in name, for the purpose OF nom-
mating a presidential candidate for whom
Democrat may consistently vote.
A. l., Ward Fairmont-Allow us TO say
that there wants to be some organization ef-

side worlds, and doing lo+s of work and
talk.
M R. Baldwin White Earth Il in

pressed.
j. B. Bottineau, Minneapolis believe the
time has come for united action in behalf Of
the truth and fidelity to the principles OF the
Democratic party, with which I have AFFILIATED
since cast my maiden vote in 1885, and as
such Democrat | am for sound money,
free trade, income tax, and a tariff for rev.
enue only. l repudiate the silver platform

on, and II can be of any service to you and
the good cause, do not hesitate to command
Outside Of the gubernatoriaI contest. prob-
ably the hottest political fight in Minnesota
the coming fall will be that over the office
OF sherih of Ramsey county The Stevens
Kiefer contest will hardly equal it, although
the element backing F. 6. Stevens will also
be behind one OF the shrievalty candidates
Sheriff Chapel wants to succeed himself
ana serve third term. Like the congress
and is disposed to hang to 1t. 1t Is not un-
likely, though. that Chapel will have to Quit
Il kiefer Is beaten by Stevens. because the
anti-third terners will then be on top. They
would work the cry against Chapel and do it
successfully
George II. Irish, Chapel's deputy Ia his
natural legatee. Irish will not seek the nomi-
nation SO long as his chief is in the field. he
says. But with Chapel out, his deputy will
go after that nomination with right good wifi
Ex-Ald. e. II. Milham Ia an open and
avowed candidate. He Is relying not only
upon wide acquaintance IN the city and con-
siderable personal popularity. but is also bas-
ing his claim on positive or implied pledge
made to him last April 1t will be remem-
bered that Milham was denied denomination
for the council, and had made up his mind to
run independent. II he had not won the cleo
ton, he would have at least defeated the ma
chine candidate, Aid. J. W. Shepard. But Mil
ham dssuaded from his purpose and at
the time 1t was stated he had been promised
strong support for the shrievalty. Sheriff
Chapeps friends say the only promise Of the
kind ever made was by church organiza-
ton in the Midway district which ardently de-
sired Shepards election. They further say
that Milham will not muster many dele
gates as John Harris did two years ago. Those
who bet Harris would not have 50 votes won
their money. But ct that Mflham may fool
them. for he will have a strong crowd Of
hustling youngsters behind him.
OF all the pronounced candidates Assembly
man e. L. Mabon looks like "a conner" to
an outsider. He has had his eye ON the
the nomination for the assembly In the
spring 1t was with the we'll defined purpose
OF getting his name before the voters, rather
than In the belief that he would be elected.
Success did not turn his head. however and
since taking his seat Mabon has not lost any
chance he got to strengthen himself. Today

who carried Ramsey county for Gov. Clough
