The Republicans who are in charge
of the proposed meeting during the
session of the State League of Repub-
lican clubs are having as hard a search
for a national orator as Diogenes once
had for an honest man. In fact, they
say that Diogenes had lighted Ian
tern, whereas the improvident cham
pions of Republicanism have so far
followed in the footsteps of the foolish
virgins in the parable, as not to fill
their lamps at all before starting on
their search They figured that the
bridegrooms would be falling all over
themselves for the opportunity to make
a few set phrases ring in the ears OF
the multitude, but this Is leap year,
and the statesmen are coy-very coy.
A well-known Republican editor from
the Second district remarked last night
at the Windsor hotel that George w.
Somerville, the Sleepy Eye lawyer, was
sure to be badly left in his race with
Congressman McCleary for the latter's
seat.
This is McClearys second term in
congress, and he's as sure Of the third
term as the sun is certain to rise to-
morrow. Somerville is getting no
backing at all. I've just looked over
forty exchanges published in the dis
trict, and Of these forty only two are
in favor of George W., and they are
publishers in his own county. Nc
Cleary, on the other hand, has made
national reputation for himself since
he has been at Washington. One of
his speeches is going to be distributed
as a campaign document by the nation
al committee, and he's considered an
ornament to the house. Somerville Is
a good enough sort of fellow, but he
isn't on to himself"
Ellend Erickson, representative from
Freeborn county in the legislature OF
1891, was In ST. Paul the other day.
Mr.. Erickson says that Freeborn coun-
ty is for Gibbs for governor. The ex-
speaker is making moral canvass
on a very aggressive system, and will
undoubtedly come into the state con-
vention with the full county delega-
ton. If it appears impracticable to
achieve a victory for Gibbs, then the
delegation will be apt to split off for
Clough, Eustis and others, but not for
Van SAINT, as in that end of the dis
trict it is figured that the congressman
is enough for Winona to have. This
will be made the strong reason for the
support of John L. Gibbs.
The Young Mems Republican league
met at its headquarters at Central hall
last night, to hear words Of wis
dom. Department Commander J. ].
McCardy, of the Minnesota G. A. r.,
and Gen. Moses E. Clapp were the
oracles. After a score of members had
arrived, President Carl Taylor called
the meeting to order and introduced
City Comptroller McCardy. Mr.. Nc
Cardy was in a singularly loquacious
mood for him. He had cast off the
taciturn mood that possesses him from
the time he enters the city hall until
he leaves it, and with a flow of Ian
guage surprising to hear, he proceeded
to explain to the young Republicans
how to keep tab on municipal funds.
The Bell charter was Mr.. MoCardy's
inspiration. He related, in significant
tones, how effectually that instrument
prevented the transfer of moneys from
one fund to another. One fund might
be exhausted e'er the end of the year,
but it could not look to the unwieldy
surplus in another fund for assistance.
The comptroller pointed out the wis
dom of this provision and explained
how the shortages had occurred in the
police and fire departments. The so
per cent limit regulating the issue of
tax levy certificates was dwelt upon.
and the entire system of municipal
financiering elucidated.
Mr.. McCardy was about to sit down
when a few questions were aimed at
him. He answered them all on the
spot, and the Republican league ex-
perienced satisfaction that the COM
mon council knows not.
Gen. Clapp's address was along more
