MINNEAPOLIS, June 16, 1896.-The
committee of 1907 has appeared with
another advance notice that its collec-
ton of candidates will be ready to per-
form in this city in a few days-posi-
lively the first. last and only appear
ance. All who want reserved seats
should purchase early Seats on sale
by C. S. Cairns, 100 Lumber Exchange.

The 1902 has less to say regarding
the merits of its performers than about
its own pedigree and reasons for ex-
istence. It seems to have fears lest
the people may entertain doubts on
this point. Itpublishes select passages
from it's charter in order to arouse the
enthusiasm of the people. The 'l00''
is engaged at literary work of an his
torical character therefore. This work,
while harmless, is about as effective as
anything itshas done for it's aggrega-
ton of candidates-which up to date is
represented by cipher. ~ LII

J Willard f. Bowen, the latest Mime
apolis candidate for governor, says
that he is making successful canvass.
He reports scores of active workers en-
listed in his behalf. He thinks the
Eustis movement does not amount to
much. Eustis has enemies everywhere
aad few strong friends, claims Bowen,
and the combine arrangement to- get
Van SAINT and Iee5to come in to help
him carry the Hennepin primaries is
an awful confession of weakness.
Bowen says that he has been invited
by the ''100'' to join them and also to
allow his name to go on the combine
slate, but he declines to be mixed up in
the business. He believes that he is
stronger out of the combine.

Eustis is putting in his work now for
what he is worth. Although his
manager, Private Secretary Mannix,
is down at St. Louis, William Henry is
in the field and putting in time and
money, they say, in a great way. He
has a lot of young men enlisted, who
go about the streets giving out cards
with. Williams name on and some
euologistic matter prepared with great
care. EE=

= Gen. Steve .Lovejoy, Capt. Van SAINTS
selection for the $4,000 job of survey
ing logs, is putting in ticks for the
Winona man and himself. Lovejoy is
working the lumbermen specially.
Whether they see enough in the Love-
joy-Van SAINT campaign to invest in it
or vote their hands forsit, your cores
pondent is not informed.

Mr.. Lee does not appear to be ac-
complishing anything in Hennepin
county. He has nobody at work for
him and is seldom mentioned It
looks as though he were the silent
partner in the Hennepin Alliance, and
so silent as not to be heard from.

The Clough contingent is out in
force and working with confidence.
There is marked difference between
the methodical work of the Clough
forces and the miscellaneous perform
ances of the 100" and the triple al
lance. The latter pull together like
flock of sheep, and scatter SO badly
that they cannot hit the broadside of
a barn at fifty PAGES The ''100'' get
out and shell the woods once in
while, and the Eustis and Van SAINT
folloWings scrap with each other.
That is one way of making nomina-
tions for governor, but a very queer
way, more amusing than effective.
YOUR UNCLE JASON.
