lie delegates to attend the state con-
vention, which will select delegates at
large to the st. Louis convention.
AS soon as this Is over the district
convention will begin. Tive same dele
gates attend both, and they will be
practically one. c. A. Pillsbury will
probably be chosen district delegate
without opposition, but r. G. Evans
will have to fight if he is to be dele
gate at large. At the Union league
rooms last night it was freely, and
not only that, but emphatically, pre-
dicted that Evans would not be chosen
unless he came out f1at-footed for
Mckinley. Even in the Eighth ward,
Mr.. Evans own home, it is claimed
that he will not secure delegate
from the First, Third, Fifth or Eighth
districts. The Second ward is said to
be solid for Evans, but the Seventh
ward is understood to be anti-Evans; !;
the Eleventh ward shows an inclina-
ton that way. and the Tenth ward
delegates say that they will never
vote for Evans unless he comes out
for Mckinley.
Representative Henry Feig. of Kan
diyohi county, was in ST. Paul yester-
day. He was around with the politi-
time to participate in the primaries
which will be held there tonight
I'VE will not instruct for Mckinley -
he said. I'VE are for Davis, but Nc
Kinley is our second choice L know
that there is a Mckinley boom on here,
but it is a great mistake. The conVen-
tiCns should not instruct for any one
The thing that I object to most is talk
ing Davis all the year and then throw
ing him down.
Chairman Tams Bixby, of the Repub-
lican state central committee, was in
Minneapolis yesterday for the purpose
of looking the Exposition hall over and
completing arrangements for the state
convention to be held there Tuesday
The inspection was made in the COM
pany of John Goodnow and several
other Minneapolis Republicans. 1t is
proposed to have brass band in the
hall for the first two hours of the con-
vention. after which 1t is expected that
the bill will be musical enough without
any.
Samuel Hill, who returned yester-
day from the East, says senators
whom he met felt that there would
be no disturbance with either Spain
or England. and that the impression
seemed to prevail that the Venezuelan
matter and Cuban matter would be
arranged without serious trouble. He
found a strong feeling that a square
issue should be made for sound money,
and that the attitude of the Wiscon-
sin convention had met with great
favor among business men whom he
had met in Chicago. Some of the more
conservative men in the East thought
that the Mckinley managers were
little too active and aggressive, and
that the effect would be to solidify the
feeling against Mckinley; that there
were many kind words said in New
York in favor of Davis and Allison,
but the preference of the Eastern
states seemed to be for Reed and Nor
ton. Mr.. Hill hoped that a delega-
tion would be sent to the national con-
vention from Minnesota entirely unin-
structed, as an instructed delegation
was not much of factor; that it was
more important to pick out good,
strong men than it was to send q dele-
cation with hands tied
Referring to the business conditions,
he said that there would be no more
money sent out into the Northwest
until the people who sent the money
felt that they would get back the same
kind of money that they sent-both
principal and interest. President
Cleveland made q remark in Wash
ington which strongly illustrates the
case when he said that a farmer who
loaned seed wheat in the spring ex-
pected to get back seed wheat in the
fall and was not satisfied with
note which was, at the option of the
maker, payable in oats or barley and
that a man who loaned gold did not
care to be repaid in coin Of less volue.
D. W. Bruckart's candidacy for presi-
dent of the state league of Republican
clubs is developing some curious out
bursts of enthusiasm in the other dis
tricts. Every day there come reports
of the organization of new Republican
clubs, all of which send delegates to the
convention. For it is written, in the
Republican league apochrypha, that
when two or three, or at most five,
are gathered together, they may as
semble themselves as a league club and
send themselves as delegates to the
state convention. These new clubs are
likely to prove the downfall Of Mr..
Bruckart unless the Sixth district rush
es to the rescue of it's fayorite candi-
date and organizes a host of diminu-
tive clubs to counteract these insidious
influences before Wednesdays conven-
ton.
