Special Correspondence to the UNION
MINNEAPOLIS, July 14-There seems
to be an effort to nominate ex-Mayor
Winston as an opposition candidate for
governor. But it is difficult tos see
where he will get the required sup
port The free coinage Democrats of
this city have not much use for Win
ston since he straddled the money
question at the Chicago convention by
refusing to vote either way on the two
platforms presented, and also by cast
ing his vote for presidential nominee
for a straddler like Stevenson, instead
of for pronounced silver leader like
| Bryan or Bland. It is charged by his
free coinage opponents here that the
trouble with Winston is that he. is
working in company with Dorian and
Lawler, with the idea Of holding mid
! die ground between the gold and silver
wings of the party, and that he began
his new role at St. Paul at the last
convention, where he and Doran worked
in beautiful harmony. In thus playing
ssthe conservative" racket to please
the ST. Paul crowd, Winston has made
the Minneapolis free silver wing ex-
ceedingly tired, and they are openly
denouncing him in the streets. The
Populists will have nothing to do with
him because of his railroad connec-
tions. Thus, although he is by pro-
fession q free coinage man, Winston
has fallen out with the free coinage
forces and seems to have slim chances
for support from that Source at the
primaries and polls to help his ambi-
tions.
+ Ignatius Donnelly approves Of the
nomination Of Bryan and his renomina-
ton on the Populist platform; but is
opposed to the second man on the
ticket, Sewall, on the ground that the
latter is a banker. This looks as
though Ignatius had dropped his pres
identia1 aspirations for this campaign
and was content to accept second place
on the ticket with Bryan There are
several friends of Donnelly who ex-
press the hope that such an event
might happen.
DR.. : mes is opposed to union on
Bryan at ST. Louis; but the new Games
Club organized in honor of the doc
tors gubernatorial boom, passed a
unanimous resolution in favor of Bryan
at its first meeting. The doctor will
have to get his club in a more tracta-
BILE frame of mind.

The Times confidentially informs the
public that John Lind will not run for
governor on the allied free coinage
ticket, and again that he will run. The
public is at liberty to draw its own con-
sclusions II
It is said that the Journal is going to
trot out p. B. Winston for governor.
If the support of Winston by the Times
Journal outfit is as fruitful of results as
its opposition to Gov. Clough, Winston
is to be pitied.

Tams will no longer be the mark at
which the 's100'' and its organs will di-
rect their mud batteries, since his re-
tirement from the State central com
mittee. Eli is now the boss villain in
the play. The burning problem of the
campaign is, Where, oh where will the z
ss10o'' go, and what will they do with
themselves?
1t has not yet been decided whether
the Hon. r. G. Evans and the Hon.
s. Cairns, respectively god-mother and
president of the late 800 movement
are to stump for Clough, for Lind, for &
Winston, or are to shell the woods for
Major Bowler.
