ana that the appointment might be in
formally announced. Mr.. O'Bris1 was
SHOWN the telegram, and was greatly
pieased, although not. surprised, as he
received an 1ntimation several days
ago that ne was likely TO be appointed.
The retirement of Mr.. Lawler from
the committeeship is a natural conse-
quence of his attitude upon the. silver
question, ne being a radical gold Demo-
crat, and wholly out of sympathy with
Senator JONES' chairman of the COM
mittee, on this issue 1t was rumored
at first that Mr.. Lawler had been re-
moved from the national committee,
but that is not the case, as the chair
man of the national COMMITTEES would
have no authority to remove any. Of

say: - ~
IF Senator Jones has appointed Mr..

Next Tuesday the Democratic state
convention will be held in Minneapo
lis. There seems to be no doubt but
that John Lind will be nominated for
governor with a WhoOp. Every county
c0nventlon-or. easily enough to give
him major1ty-has instructed for
Lind, and his nomination seems to be
accepted as a certainty. There is CON
siderable speculation as to who will be
selected to run on the ticket with Mr..
Lind. During the last few days the
name OF. .Adolph Bierman has been
mentioned in connection with that of
secretary of state. Mr. Bierman is re-
garded as one of the strongest Demo
Gratis in the state and it is believed
would add strength to the ticket.
Whether or not he will make the race
7 is a question, but his friends in st.
Paul think he would be willing to SO
especially as the ticket to be nominated
In Minneapolis gives every evidence to
its friends now of being winner.
Secretary of State Berg was in the
city yesterday for few minutes, just
long enough to express himself as
hoping that Biermann would not be
nominated against him.
-
s T. b. Winston will probably be non1i-
mated for lieutenant governor 1t is
believed that he can be if he desires.
He is strong in Minneapolis, and is
strong in the northern part of the state.
That, without the popularity which the
ticket is expected to gain for itself

can Populist for state treasurer and a.
Populist for attorney general, seems

The Republicans are more than anx-

A Minneapolis gentleman who has been
all over the state this year and attended
many of the conventions said to a re-
porter for the Globe yesterday: "I
am convinced that if Lind is nominated
by both parties, as he doubtless will be-
that CIough will be defeated by 1900
