WINONA FOR SOUND MONEY.
FRIENDS OF BRYAN, HOWEVER,
ARE STILL TALKING VERY
LOUDLY.
Are for Sflver-Capt. Van SAINT
Puts in His Oar.

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Sept. 29.-eI've been in
Minnesota and have been voting the
Democratic ticket for fifty years and 1
never saw so many indications for
Democratic success In this state and
this district as there are this year."
Thus spoke B. H. Randall, one of the
best known old line Democrats in
Southern Minnesota
TITS a cinch, an immortal cinch; the
ticket will be elected from Mckinley
down to coroner of Winona There
never was anything surer so far as
this district is concerned" That propo-
sition came from Capt Samuel R. Van
age shone with the assurance of safety
that was in the man.
Bryan has no earthly show in this
district and, although Fitzpatrick is a
good friend of mine, I don't believe it's
possible for him to beat Tawney. The
people of this part Of Minnesota are
for sound money first and whatever
you like afterwards. The turning over
of the Democratic standard to the Pop
ulists has insured the defeat of it's
presidential and congressional nomi-
nees in this district" So spoke Harry
M. Lamberton, sound money Democrat,
once the nominee of his party for con-
gress in this district and one Of the
strongest of the old-time Democrats.
And there you are!
But the combination of the Lamber-
tons and Van SAINTS will win in Winona
county. A close scrutiny Of affairs DO
litical shows that, in spite of the fact
that this county has Democratic ma
jority Of upwards of 500, under normal
conditions. the sound money men in the
Democratic ranks are strong enough
to give the county to
M'KINLEY AND TAWNEY,
and that they are going to do it. There
is nothing equivocal about the position
OF the sound money men here. A few
OF them will vote for the ticket of the
National Democracy-Palmer and
Buckner. A few others will wait until
the end of the campaign to decide how
they will vote; then if they conceive
that the Bryan strength is threatening
they will vote for McKinley-otherwise
they will vote for the indianapolis
ticket. But by far the greater number
Of them have already made up their
minds and have given 1t out fiat that
they will vote for Mckinley and per-
haps divide up the rest of the ticket
And the popocratic combination that
captured the county and legislative
convention last Monday is striving with
might and main to placate these men,

many Republicans who are opposed to
the third term. Wagner is by all
odds the strongest man on the fusion
ticket. His popularity when in the
Office of city treasurer was almost
without bound, and he came within 4
narrow margin of reelection in the
last landslide He is St Paul prod
uct and is too well known to need
introduction.
]. August Nilsson is that rara avis,
a Scandinavian Democrat He has
been in politics for a long time. Not
long since he was oust I'd from the
comfortable berth of custodian Of the
city and county building. He is strong
with the Scandinavians, and that is
the reason he was given the nomina-
ton for treasurer. H. A. Wallrath is
a Populist of the deepest dye Indeed,
he is so radical in some of his ideas
that he is an Ishmaelite even TO Ger
tain factions of that partv lie was
probably nominated because he had
sufficient strength to pull down the
plum, and not because of any personal
popularity or peculiar fitness for the
office He is harness maker and
resident of the Eighth ward.
Thomas Manning, candidate for reg
lister of deeds, is young man vet.
He has never been an office seeker in
the true sense of the word He is a
real estate agent, and his friends say
a good fellow. He is successful man
of business and lives in the Third
ward.

orally known. He Is one of the young
er members of the bar and served a
term in the legislature.
One Of the noticeable features Of the
convention was the domination of the
O'Brien wing of the party. The Scan
nellites made few feeble efforts just
to show they were still on earth. but
they were promptly and effectually sat
upon every time. Another significant
feature, indicating the temper of the
delegates toward the sound money
Democrats, was the outspoken hostility
to everything and every person who
did not come up to the sinon-pure
nominated Judge Otis for the district
bench, apOlogized for so doing and
characterized his effort as painful
duty. The speeches and resolutions all
breathed uncompromising hostility to
the friends of sound money, Republi-
can or Democrat A more confident,
buoyant lot of delegates never met to
transact public business. Whatever
they think of the result in November,
there was nothing in the proceedings
that hinted at possible defeat. Every
where. there was evidence of a conf
dence in the result at the polls.
The committee to select delegates to
the congressional convention, will be
named in a few days by Chairman
O'Brien. There are few applicants for
the honor of going to Mozart hall to
indorSe a Populist candidate.
The silver Republicans were disap-
pointed. They had hoped for something
more than beggarly legislative Office
J. nj. Hawthorne and e. M. Card, to-
gether with several candidates for the
legislature, made bold bid for Demo-
cratic sympathy and votes. But aside
from the doubtful favor conferred upon
john Dale, who was nominated for the
legislature In the Sixth ward, the free
silver Republicans got nothing They
will have the pleasure of voting for
Democrats or PoDulists this fall-if
they do not bolt the ticket before No

be moved from their position however,
for they got nothing but abuse from
Sheardown, who is managing Fitzpat-

leaders until their strength was de-
monstrated. In the city of Winona

The Ramsey county Democratic lion
had a meal Of the county Populist
lamb yesterday, with a little free sill

to make the dish more palatable. Flu
sion was accomplished to the utmost
satisfaction of the free silverites, at
least SO far as the Democrats were
concerned. They got all the big Of
fees except that of auditor. and the
cream of the legislative district. They
conceded one district judge, two small
offices and an Endorsement for con-
gresham in exchange for the 5000 or
1000 votes the Populists control in the
county. Altogether the Democrats
went to their homes last night feeling
they had accomplished a very good

nothing to mar the harmony of action,

the interval was spent in oratory of
