BE Here in October.

Ir1end or sound money, the adherent
OF the present administration in the
White house, the friend of Michael
Doran and the uncompromising enemy
of free silver; the other is a Democrat
OF the new regime, a friend of free
silver, and an enemy of the so-called
machine that has been a dominant
factor in state politics for many years.
One is Daniel LAWYER, the other is T.
D. OBrien. Lawler has refused to
abdicate in favor of any man, claim
ing that he is still the committeeman
from Minnesota, regardless of the &C
ton of the state convention which re-
pudiated LAWYER and Endorsed O'Brien
as his successor on the national COM
mittee. LAWYER claims that the chair
man of the national committee has no
authority to deny his right to the seat
and likewise no authority to appoint
his successor. Chairman Jones, on the
contrary, says he has the right, that
the man he recognizes will represent
Minnesota on the national committee,
and further that Lawler is not Dem
ocrat, but bolter, and therefore unfit
to sit in the councils of the party.
L. A. Rosing, chairman of the Demo-
L
D. O'Brien made hurried trip to Chi
cago Thursday night. The object of
their visit was to consult with Sen
ator Jones, chairman of the national
committee, on the conduct of the cam
paign in Minnesota, and incidentally,
to so arrange matters that Minnesota
will hereafter have representative in
the councils of the national committee.
that Mr.. O'Brien was the choice Of the
Democrats Of the state to succeed D.
W. Lawler, who had been chosen ma
tional committeeman, but who had
bolted the party and refused to resign
his authority or, to unite with the ma
tional committees in its sessions Law

standpoint, had = been brought to the
attention of the senator before, and he
Swore by his beard that the naughty
Minnesotan should come down from
his lofty altitude and give way to the
man whom the reconstructed and re-
juvenated party of the people wanted
to represent, them. Butrstill Mr.. Law
Ter refused to pay anynattention to the
national committee or the demands of
the friends Of, the other candidate, and
it was thene decided to push the in
truder into the holy place. occupied by
the national Democrats, overheard,
and give the place to Mr.. .O'Brien At
the Chicago. conference it was agreed
that. Mr.. LAWYER had forfeited all claim
to the honor of representing Minnesota
on the national committee, and it was
further agreed that Mr.. O'Brien was
the proper man for, the place. 1t was
so decided, and hereafter, Mr.. OBrien
will be called into the councils of the
party in the state and at Chicago when
the national committee desires his at
tendance.
Other matters pertaining to the cam
paign in Minnesota were discussed be-
tween Chairman Jones and his visitors
Suggestions as to the best method of
reaching the voters of the state and
| impreSsing upon them the necessity of
voting for Bryan and free silver were
| made and discussed at length. The
| best methods of circulating campaign
| literature and other important meas
ures were the topic of the conference
as well as the necessity for good speak
| ers. 1t was agreed that Minnesota
must not be ignored and passed over in
| this important matter, and it was also
| determined that one of the orators
should be Mr.. Bryan himself. This
! speaker will come to Minnesota some
time in October, and will probably
make his address at Minneapolis first,
coming to ST.. Paul after a short in
terval. The dates will be arranged and
announced later. Other speakers, prom
| fnent and influential, have been prom
| ised the Minnesotans who feel they will
be able to make a better and stronger
fight if the national committee will
| give them the support that has been
promised.
The committee at work on the or
ganization of Ramsey county for the
National Democratic party, met at the
Merchants yesterday and adjourned
without completing it's labors But
few members of the committee were
present andi an adjournment was had
until tomorrow The committee has
the names of large number of Demo-
Gratis who are willing to join the move
ment but who are not disposed to take
any active part in the organization of
the party i'm the county. For this
reason the committee is proceeding
slowly and ndoing it's work surely in
order that there may be no delay when
the committees are finally announced.
| Tomorrows afternoon at o'clock the
Populists off Ramsey county will meet
at Market hall ito nominate delegates
to attend the state convention which
will be held atfNinneapolis on Wednes-
day. The party in this county is not
in harmony. There is a disposition on
the part of some to oppose the fusion
county ticket proposed by the Demo-
Gratis. This element will make trouble
for the delegates who are willing to
give the Democrats all the rest of the
offices If the Endorsement of Francis
Clarke for congress can be obtained
from the Democrats.
A meeting in the interest of sound
money will be held tomorrow evening
at Vega hall, 31S East Seventh street,
at s o'clock. Gen Moses Clapp and
ex-senator E. II. Ozmun will be the
speakers. These meetings are nom
partisan and all friends of sound money
and all inQuirers after the real facts
in regard to the issues of the cam
paign are invited to be present.
Comparatively few of the Populist
| delegates met at Assembly hall last
night, and those that did drift in that
| direction were not disposed to take
any action because the gathering
lacked the Endorsement of the county
officers. Peter Max and others of the
middle-of- the-road following were pres
ent and Mr.. Max called the few
present to sorder Then he told them
| that 1t would ecbetter il they adjourn
without actton.d Some one asked what
action 1t had been proposed to take.
but Mr.. Max booked wise and said
| that topic also had better be left alone
A. Paradis and others, who are with
Mr.. Max indhissopposition to the pro-
posed fusion with the Democrats, were
likewise reticents and even the dele
gates Werenleft in the dark as to the
proposed action contemplated In the
call.
