Matters.

The Democratic city committee, an
nounced few days ago, met yesterday
afternoon at the Hennepin league
rooms, New York Life building, and or
ganized by the election of E. B. Gle
ment. chairman, and Harry D. Irwin,
secretary. There was no opposition to
/ either and no other names mentioned
for the places. Mr.. Irwin is a son-in
law and law partner of A. T. Ankeny,
candidate for mayor and the election
| was substantially an Ankeny appoint
ment
Nearly all the members of the COM
mittee were present, except those out
of the city, P. B. Winston, ]. H. Mar
| tin and Mr.. Jones.
The matter of selecting a member of
the fusion campaign committee was
deferred until a meeting can be held
with the candidates, at 7:30 o'clock,
Friday evening. 1t is quite possible
that the proposal for a joint campaign
committee may not meet with approval
of the city committee There is already
marked feeling of distrust manifested
by the members of the other party as
to the sincerity and honesty Of the
other. Each would, perhaps, be best
satisfied if it handled it's own funds,
and this may be proposed at the next
meeting.
The anti Woodward Republicans Of
| the Seventh ward held a meeting
| edneSday evening and decided to
make fight against the reelection of
w. b. Woodward to the council 1t is
understood they will favor the indorse-
ment of the fusion candidate, o. H.
| Shepley.
The Tenth Ward Republican club
will meet at the Wigwam Saturday
night to arrange for participation in
the parade next Wednesday.

tive committee of seven which is to
nave charge of the fusionist's cam
palgn In this city, county and congress
slonal district, was appointed last
night, and the appointment was con-
firmed by the Populist county-city
committee.
The selection was not made without
a fight, however, and the appointment
brought to the front several men who
have not figured prominently as cam
palgn managers, although they were
active in party affairs The three
names agreed upon are: A. E. Barker.
a JeWeler, of North Minneapolis, who
viii be secretary, so far as the Popu-
lists are concerned; M. p. Hobart. who
wanted to be the nominee for sheriff.
and M. l.. Tuve, of the Seventh ward
The appointment was first agreed up
On In private meeting held in the
, oHIceS of II. E. Godfrey and William
Smell, in the New York Life building
The candidates and several others re
ported the selection they had made to
the joint Populist city and county
committee in session at the assembly
room in Temple court and it was con-
flrmed. The committee spent an hour
over motion to appoint a committee
on finance. Leroy Berrier wanted every
member of the city and county
committee authorized to solicit
funds and turn them over"
| said L. M. Aver This was ac
and the motion was finally modified,
authorizing the executive committee to
| appoint finance committee of seven

committee met yesterday afternoon at
the assembly room in Temple court and
reorganized. L. D. Brown was elected
chairman, w. ]. Warren, vice presi-
| dent, r. P. Hoskins, secretary and
! Ezra A. Martin assistant secretary
The only other business of Importance
was the resignation of Fl. S. Seed, one
of the Ames boomers who, by some
accident was chosen to advance the
election of S. M. Owen. Mr. Seed was
practically forced off the committee by
the action of the other members They
would have nothing to do with a sup
porter of DR.. Ames. The vacancy will
be filled after consultation with Mr.
Owen
About 500 Republican and Democratic
voters of the Eleventh ward gathered
| at the Sherman hall last night to nomi-
| nate an independent Republican alder
manic candidate. H. e. Gudbranson
was named as chairman Lars Peter
son, the Republican candidate for al
derman from the Eleventh ward, was
roasted to a turn, several of his ward
neighborS taking part in the general
condemnation. When the meeting had
! finished with Mr.. Peterson, a motion
was presented, indorsing Olaf Damn
as the Independent candidate, and 1t
| went through with a rush. AS it re-
quires the signatures of $40 voters to
place Mr.. Damn regularly in the field,
| considerable huStling will be required
on the part of his friends. but those
present at the meeting last night felt
perfectly confident that a little thing
of that nature would quickly be over
come.
The Shoreham Sound Money league
| composed Of employees of the Shoreham
car shops, in Northeast MINNEAPOLIS
