Special Correspondence to the UNION
Il 4 MINNEAPOLIS, April 20, 1896. Hon.
Timothy Byrnes is going to seat Is, 6O1
delegates and visitors in the st. Louis
convention and is going. to have
telephone communication between
each delegation and the chairman.

Mrs. Lora Perkins, the fair blonde
of recent court fame, is not certain re-
gardinsg, her birth, marriage, parent
age and such like, but she is positive
that she wants the insurance money on
Mrs. Hawkins.
The Eustis organ, the Times, de-
scribes Captain Van SAINT as common
place and inferior parsonage; and the
100" describe Eustis as man without
political strength or support. Both
sides predict that the other is not in
Insofar as carrying Hennepin county,
and both probably speak the truth.
The Minneapolis ball aggregation
has been without scores in it's recent
tour about the country, but plenty
are laid up against it here at home.

Hennepin county Republicans are
now figuring whether they will let a
pool made up of outsiders come in here
and run the primaries for them next
summer. That seems to be the Eustis
idea, that the people Of this county
should not be allowed to run their own
primaries and select their own dele
gates. He has brought Lee from Long
Prairie and Van SAINT from Winona
and formed a com animation to prevent
Hennepin county from voting for
Governor Clough, the Hennepin county
candidates. This. shows how Eustis es-
Inmates his own strength with the peo-
pie OF Minneapolis.

Bicyclers have SO overrun the town,
that the council has been compelled to
pass ordffnances and the police depart
ment has had to get out with guns and
clubs to make life safe on Nicollet
avenue.
The Gold and Silver club is multi
plying RAPIDLY, and numbers several
thousand at this writing. They are
hustling and will make things merry
for gold bugs and straddlers this fall.

E: Lee entered into the pool to carry
Hennepin county primaries He won't
get anything here. Nobody knows
him, except the ''lOO'' and a few other
politicians who are in the deal, and
they won't give him any support.
Eustis will look out for Eustis, and the
100 will look out for Van SAINT. All
Lee will get here is the suspicion
and dislike of those who are not fond
of political pools and of interlopers
coming in from the outside to run
Hennepin county primaries.

If General Clapp had been added to
the combination, it might stand some
show Of accomplishing something, if
any pool can control the votes of the
people. Clapp is known, he has car
ried the district three times, he has
stumped here, and his three terms at
the capitol have made him known
favorably to a majority Of the reading
and voting public. But Clapp, who is.
undoubtedly stronger than any other
candidate than Clough in Hennepin
county, was not invited.
81 4. i.
A straw vote has been reported
from the Ninth ward, giving 1854 votes
to Clough, SO for Eustis, and so odd
scattering for the other candidates.
This is the labor ward of the East side.
It appears that the tin-pail brigade
is not particularly in love with the
900" or the late combine. So it looks
to
YOUR UNCLE JASON.
