The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-15


some of the party leaders and Secretary
Bixby, pale from recent illness, opened
his desk and despatched Il large quaint
ity of accumulated mail. Senator Mel
soE was one of the earliest callers at
Headquarters. He was en- route from
business trip to Chicago to his home at
Alexandria Chairman Warner gave
the senator some tips on recent occur
renceS in the state, and although ne
wouldn't repeat what he said to Mr..
Warner, the senator probably gave the
chairman some hints on scandinavian
Craft, or HOW to Down John Lind. :
Alex + does, of Jackson, told inqulrers
about headquarters what strong
sound money club Jackson boosted. The
club has 800 members, ard is till grow
ing. Free silver sentiment Is on the
wane in JAG kSon. said Mr.. FiddeS, ana
the sound money meetings are making
many convert is among tire farmers. Con-
gresham Frank NJ. Eddy, of Glenwood.
reported unusual interest among the
sound money people of the Seventh
diSt9ict. and predicted Republican sue
cess. The wish is father TO the thought
in MIR. Eddy's case as he is candi-
date for reelection, having been re-
nominated recently. Elmer Z. Adams,
of Fergus Falls, chairman OF the Sew
eEth district congressional committee,
had a talk with Mr.. Warner relative
to good speakers for the campaign.
Alex McKinnon, of Moorhead, NOM
mated for state treasurer at the Min
reapoliS convention, was in the city
for a short time yesterday en- route
home from trip to Duluth In his
estimation, Lind and the rest of the
Minneapolis ticket are already as good
as elected and he also predicts victory
for ToWne.
w G. Bronson, of saltwater, one of
the oldest and best known Democrats
in the state, expresses his disapproval
OF the fusion plan set forth in the ma
tional and state conventions of his
party, as follows: IF / have to choose
between two men, one of whom is a
Republican and the other not a Demo-
crat. / shall certainly size them up
with reference to their personal fitness,
their business environment and their
intellectual calibre. 1t is unnecessary
to enter into personal discussion of the
merits of the various candidates. There
Is no Democratic ticket in the field,
either in the state or in the nation,
and thoughtful business men will get
together and follow the course which
they deem best for their own interests.
1t is also unnecessary to say what that
course will be-
Next Monday the executive commit
tee of the National Democratic party
will meet at Chicago to arrange de-
tails for the national convention. f.
W. NJ. Cutcheon, of st. Paul, who is a
member of the committee, will leave
here Sunday night to join other mem
berS of the committee. While in Chi
cagO Mr.. Cutcheon will also arrange
for the printing and distribution of
campaign literature, as he is chairman
of the committee appointed to look
after that important branch of the
campaign machinery.
A Chicago telegram gives D. w. Law
ler's vice presidential boom added i'm
petus by coupling his name with that
of w. F. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, late
chairman of the national committee.
Mr.. Harrity is a warm personal friend
of the administration, a man of i'm
mense wealth, and an astute politician.
He is personally popular with Demo-
Gratis all over the country, and COM
bines to a degree all the qualifications
for the high office. The gold Demo-
Gratis were at first in favor Of a ticket
made up of Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
and Clark Howells, of Georgia, but the
great age of the Illinois senator, coupled
with his positive refusal to allow his
name to be used as a candidate, have
led to the suggestion of the Eastern
man for the head of the ticket. If this
Fast is given that honor, of course the
West will come in for the vice preSi-
Dental candidate. Chicago has a can
didate in the person of Judge Thomas
Moran. but although an able and popu-
lar man in Illinois, he is not quite large
enough in national politics to be a
formidable candidate should the friends
of Dan Lawler go after the nomination
for their candidate.
Lawler is getting a mighty lot of free
advertising these days. First he is
made the delegate of Michael Doran,
who, Wearying of politics. casts his
mantle over the shoulders of the young
er man. Then the free silver Demo-
Gratis cast him out of their midst and
demand his resignation as a national
committeeman. Following that episode
Chairman Jones, of the national COM
mittee, took up the case of the head
strong Minnesotan and threatened to
discipline him for failing to accept the
schemes of the Democratic-Populi
convention as good Democratic doc
trine. Now comes the honor of being
a vice presidential possibility on the
National Democratic ticket
Sound money meetings, under the
auspices of the Sound Money league,
will be held tonight at ST. Anthony
park, where r. G. Evans, of Mime
apolis, will be the speaker, and at the
hall. corner of CORTLAND and jerks
streets, in the. Ninth ward. where w.
G. Thorpe will deliver an address.
Secretary Fittman. of the German
American Sound Money league, is
daily receiving advices from all parts
of the state citing the growth of the
movement. Letters were received yes
terday from Winona, Wabasha Fair
mont, Moorhead and other points stat
ing that the COMMUNICATIONS in
those districts have formed or are
forming sound money clubs.
