its work The committee consists of
George r. Finch, T. d. O'Brien, w. G.
robertson and E. o. Zimmerman.
Messrs. O'Brien, Robertson and Zim-
norman, who were seen yesterday, said
that the committee had taken no ac-
tion thus far, as they had not vet I.eld
a meeting. They expect to get together
In day or two and adopt a plan of
dividing up the work, as there is con-
siderable to be done. 1t is probable
that the two Republican members of
the committee, Messrs. Finch and Zim-
norman, will select a Republican from
each election district. and that Messrs.
O'Brien and Roberts will choose a DEM
ocrat from each precinct
Ed. Ballentine, of Campbell, member
of the executive committee of the state
immigration association, from the Sew
enth congressional district, said yes
terdav at the Windsor, that while pol
itics were quiet at present in Wilkin
county, that district had as much s>nti-
ment as any part of the state. The SEN
timent was in favor of Reed, rather
than of Mckinley. The Wilkin -un-
ty delegation to Minneapolis would
probably go uninstructed.
The joint Republican committee
elected Thursday and consisting of
eleven members, one for each ward
five from the old county committee
and five from the city committee, un-
der the Craftsmanship of Mr.. Zollman,
met Immediately after the executive
committee had adjourned yesterday
The joint committee discussed at some
length the date for which the city con-
Vention should be called, but arrived at
no conclusion. AS to apportionment
in the convention, it was agreed that
one delegate should be allowed for
every fifty votes cast in each voting
precinct for F. B. Doran at the spring
election Of 1894. The total number Of
delegates will thus be between 256 and
260. The committee were unable to
complete the full list of delegates for
each precinct, and deferred the matter
until next Tuesday, when the exact
apportionment and the date Of the city
convention will be determined The
meeting Tuesday will be at p. M, at
the rooms Of the Lincoln club.

club, Of the Eighth ward, met last
evening at 279 Fuller street for the pur-

tend through the precincts, and pro-
poses to be felt in the aldermanic fight.
