the novelty may be presented of the state
nominating convention resembling the ac-
ton of the delegate convention. repudiat-
ing the national platform and declaring for

nominees will run on free silver platforms
of their own adoption, and the issue will be
as bitterly fought as though the recent
convention had not been held.
the i'll feeling resulting from the recent
state convention effectually puts an end
to any hopes the democrats may have In
this years campaign in this state. They
will have difficulty to find a candidate to
head the ticket, and a wooden Indian, if
given the republican Endorsement. would
go through flying. If the republicans refuse
to nominate Mayor Pingree the democrats
will find in him a willing candidate for the
nomination, and will take him up. because
they will be unable to find anybody else to
take it. Should Pingree be nominated by
the republicans or If he should decline" to
listen to the words of the democratic
tempter, the democrats might just as we'll
go out Of the business, as far as their
chances are concerned, of electing anybody
or anything. -

REPUBLICANS CARRY ST. PAUL.
End of IN Exciting Campaign In the
Northwest.

End of IN Exciting Campaign in the
Northwest.
ST. PAUL, Mimi. May 5-The city cleo
ton here yesterday came after super
heated campaign, with a number of star
features. The republicans nominated
ticket, headed by Frank b. Doran who was
years ago. In fact their general ticket was
the same as then.
The regular democratic committee called
a convention, but there were irregularities
in the way the del ,gates were chosen, and
when the convention met 4 majority of the
delegates bolted. Those who remained
however, named a full ticket. The boilers or
ganized and named a full ticket, calling it
democratic citizens" Last week the demo-
cratic citizens managers petitioned for an
injunction against the placing by the city
clerk of the democratic" ticket on the Off
cial ballot alleging illesality and fraud The
injunction was granted, and the tickets yes
terday were the democratic-citiZens repub-
lican and prohibition, the peoples party
resting content with the Endorsement of Sc
lected candidates on the other tickets.
The campaign was fought for economical
city government, and both parties avoWed
their purpose of giving it.
At 10 o'clock last night the Globe Demo-
crat conceded the election of the entire re-
publican ticket, by not less than 1000 ma
jority. At the same hour the Pioneer Press
claimed $500 majority for Doran, republi-
can, for mayor. Later returns made. but
slight change in this. At midnight the re-
elected mayor; Mccarthy, republican, con-
troller; Horst, republican, treasurer, and
the republicans elect all assemblymen and
all but one alderman.

ly to be done at st. Louis and what was
done at the republican convention in Chi
cago in 1S6S, when Gen. Grant was nomi-
mated for President the first time. In the
last named assemblage there was only enc
name presented and one balloting. 1t is
predicted that this will be the outcome in
ST. Louis, and events lend great probability
to the prophecy. If such shall be the case,
what sea of trouble will be avoided grow
ing out Of contests for seats from southern
states! All the contestants might then be
admitted, with the total votes divided ap-
propr:ately into fractions, without in any
manner affecting the final result.
The state convention of the democracy is
likely to be quite as lively was that of
the republicans. There the fight will be
between the free silver men and the ad
ministration men. 1t looks now though
Gov. Altgeld would be the nominee for
governor If the silverites control the con-
vention. If they should not control il, he
ard his followers would probably bolt. John

Special D1Spatch TO The Evening star.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 6.-The demo-
cratic state central committee met at the
Carrollton Hotel at noon today to fix dates
for holding the state convention and the
district conventions. Chairman Talbot
presided, and there was a large and en-
thusiastic attendance.
The democratic state convention will be
held in Baltiomore Wednesday, June 10.
The following dates have been named for
the congressional conventions: First dis
trict, August 20, Ocean City; second, Sep
TENDER 2, Havre-De-Grace; third, Septem-
Der 1G. Baltimore; fourth, September IS,
Baltimore; fifth, September 3, Baltimore;
sixth, August ~ Oakland.
The meeting of the committee was the oc-
cason of large assemblage Of democrats
from all over the state and the scenes about
the lobby of the hotel recalled the old gath
erinSs of politicians there when the de-
mocracy was supreme in Maryland and a
republican administration something I'M
dreamed Of
Senator German arrived at an early hour
this morning. During the forenoon he held
an lmpromptu reception in one of the up
per parlors of the hotel, and many of his
admirers greeted him. The most conspcu-
Gus feature OF the meeting was the abser ce
OF the reform element. which contributed
so largely to republican success last fall.
oonSlueraDle speculation has been in
dulged in as to the probable demeanor of
THIS faction, and a prevailing belief was
that the reformerS rot only would attend
the meeting, but would demand a number
OF concessions from the regulars. Moth
ing of the scrt occurred, however, ard the
regulars controlled the whole affair as
II the disaffected faction ncYer had ex-
lsted, and the summary of an old ward
worker, who said, We don't intend to run
after the ants or in anywise consult them;
II they want to turn in and work they are
welcome, but we have nothing to ask Of
them,' is a good illustration of the situa-
ton.
Senator German, when asked by The
star correspondent what he thought the
action of the Chicago convention would
De on the currency question, replied
Both the Chicago and St. Louis con-
Vent1onS will, in my opinion, adopt practi-
cally the same platform as far as the
currency is concerned. That is they will
both declare for sound money. There WILL
doubtless, be a contest over this que stion
in Chicago. but l believe the sound money
men will win"
1t IS practically decided that three of the
delegates-at-large to the Chicago conven-
ton will be the three defeat ted candida ties
on the democratic state ticket last fall
John Z. Hurst, Charles c. Crothers and
Marion Dekalb Smith-the fourth will be
senator German. If he can be induced to GO
As to this Mr. German declines to make a
statement, bat If the wishes of his friends,
whose delight at his presence here today is
most unbounded, prove effective, he will
lead the Maryland delegation.

A trip of inspection of many of the local
land offices in Minnesota, Montana, Idaho,
California and Colorado will be made dur
ing June by Commissioner Lamoreux Of
the general land office. The main object is
to secure a thorough revision of methods
throughout the service. One of the main
aims is to reduce the amount of cases be-
hindhand in the surveying branch of the
service. Since the beginning of the ad-
ministration the delay in attending to sur
veying cases has been reduced from two
years or more to about one year. Commits
sioner Lamoreux believes this should be
further reduced to about three or four
months with new methods and the intelli-
gent cooperation of local officers. The
tour, which will not be made at govern
ment expense, will be begun during the
first week of June, and extend a few days
into July. 1t will begin at Duluth, Mimi,
and Crookston will be the next Office

ming of Cars.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May 6.-The most
serious disturbance since the strike was in
augnrated occurred last night, when a mob
of 5000 men and boys attacked three Far
well avenue, East Side, cars. 1t was the
first attempt to run cars at night, and each
was crowded with policemen. The mob lined
either side of the track, and as the cars
appeared hundreds of bricks and sticks
were thrown by the mob. Every window in
the three cars was smashed, and many of
the policemen were struck by the missiles
The patrolmen formed in squad and re-
peatedly charged the rioters. Several ar
rests were made.
The police then visited all saloons in the
vicinity of the car barns forcibly elected the
throngs of men in them, and ordered them
closed. At midnight the riotous crowd had
been dispersed.
