Bryan-Sef,ater Sheehan's Rosy
sn*h Reports.
The executive committee of the Re-
publican state central committee was
in session yesterday afternoon in the
office of Bams Bixby Mr.. Bixby and
his lieutenants about the headquarters
assured a waiting and anxious public
that the gathering was without spe-
cfal significance. But just the same the
leaders were discussing no less i'm
portant matter than the chances of
one David Clough for governor. The
reports from the upper sections of the
state are not so rosy as the friends of
the governor would like or expected.
Lind too, 1t is said, has cut into the
| governors cheese in a hurtfu1 man
her in the Second and Third districts.
This Is discouraging to the Republi-
cans. who have been claiming every
thing solid except the Sixth district,
ana have even expressed great hopes
OF trimming the spurs off Towne. These
rumors have been SO frequent of late
that the state central committee has
been looking over the ground, and the
new plans that are being formulated
to strengthen their candidate in dis
tr1cts which they have hitherto claimed
as solid leads to the belief that they
have ground for uneasiness.

Mccormick, Of Grand Forks, ex-secre-
tsry Of state. for. North Dakota Mr.
Mccormick, being just across the line
from Minnesota, takes great interest
in the politics of the North Star state
In an interview he said that, If Lind
is as strong in other parts Of the state
| as he seems to, be in the Sixth and
Seventh districts, he will cary the state
by as great a majority as did Blaine
| Thomas Meighen, of Forrestville, a.
member OF the Populist state central

| He spoke of the Populist gathering at
Austin Thursday night, and said that

and Congressman McCleary were the
! speakers. g.
7. D. Sheetan, who has been cam
paigning for the Republicans in the
southern part of the state, returned
heme yesterday. He says the Repub-
hcans are gaining in every county in
! that section. A rally was held at
Jackson Wednesday night, and the
crowd was so large that the speaking
was out of doors, as the hall would not
hold half of those who were present
to cheer for Mckinley and sound
money.
St Paul is to be favored with big
guns from both political parties in the
near future. Next Tuesday evening
Ben Butterworth will speak in Market
hall for the Republicans and early in
october Bryan will be. heard in the
same. hall. Next week at Minneapolis
Bourke Cochran will speak for Nc
,Kinley. and Immediately after his ST.
Paul engagement Bryan will be heard
at the same place. Bryan's last en-
gagement In Minnesota will be at Du-
| luth following his address at Mime

day morning after an absence of a week
! during which time he assisted in the
reception rendered Candidate Bryan at
Lincoln, Nebl, and Thursday night adj
dressed large audience at Austin,
MINI. Speaking of the Nebraska in
'cident, Mr.. OBrien said:
! 1t IS not possible to judge by the
printed reports the esteem in which Mr.
| Bryan is held in his own home and
| state. l was surprised at the warmth
Of his welcome last Tuesday I was in
/ the party that went down the railroad
| a short distance to meet Mr. Bryan
/ OH his return to, Lincoln, and met him
on that special train for the first time.
Then, as on, subsequent occasions, he
! impressed me as man of deep con-
| vlctlon, of most unasSuning manner,
and one who regards the campaign in
most impersonal manner He does
not seem to think that all the praise he
| 1CCClNCS Is luz the CdnQlOal0. Dull Tor the
party and its principles. His wife to-,
| impressed me in the same way.
IF ever a man received a royal well
1 come Mr.. Bryan did last Tuesday. If
there was any division Of sentiment on
the part Of his fellow townsmen, it
was not apparent. Old men and young
men, and women of all ages met the
special train at the depot and followed
the carriage containing Mr. Bryan
through the streets to the capitol where
the formal notification was made and
/ Mr.. Bryan delivered his address of ac-
ceptance. The entire city was inumi-
mated and decorated for the occasion
There were piclures Of Bryan every
where, but none Of the Republican can
didate. ...-.r,,4ss Asa

Republicans claim the state of Nebras-
ka for Mckinley. The Republican

ing for Bryan; In all the congressional
districts Bryan workers are received
with cheers and shouts for the free
| silver movement There is no third
party sentiment IN the state. One can
count on hel.fingers of enc hand the
prominent National Democrats in Ne
braska- With all these influences coup-
led with his ogreat personal popularity
/ it seems impossible that Mckinley can
carry that stateP
