The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-03

SPECIAL work of the state through the
influence of Tams Bixby, in return for
his services as secretary and conf
Dental adviser of the Republican state
central committee. Harris might have
sEeered at the bitterness of the re-
Elections on himself, but at the same
time he would have realized that some
powerful Republican lawyers were con-
WINGED he was given all the states
legal snaps to the exclusion of other
good party lawyers.
There may possibly be some connect
ion between these facts and the effort
made by that good Republican lawyer,
Senator Greer, and several other emf
nent legal gentlemen, to make the state
central committee select it's chairman
and secretary from the membership of
the committee, and not go outside for
either of these officers.
The change in the plans whereby
I. E. ByrneS was called upon to re-
nominate Gov. Clough, was a surprise.
Frank Nye was not a member of the
Hennepin delegation, and evidently the
intention was to secure him seat in
some ones stead and then play him as
an eloquent trump card for the COVER
nor. Even while this plan was hatch
ing Mr.. Nye was attaching his name
to a free silver manifesto and cutting
loose from the REPUBLICAN party. So
when he was sought to nominate
Clough, he could not consent, and Tim
ByrneS was chosen to do it at the very
last moment.
Among the many Republicans who
have been in the city the past two days
in attendance on the Republican state
convention, occasionally a Democrat
could be seen, and one among those who
did not come to attend the convention
to help nominate anyone Of the big
guns, but merely to do what he could
for Attorney General Childs, was Sher-
if Hyland. of Dakota county. His only
interest in the convention, was to see
that Childs was nominated and that &C
complished he was satisfied, Mr.. Hy-
land, although still quite a young man,
is about as SuccessfuE a politician as
Dakota county has ever had, having
not only made himself successful in
the political arena, but he has made
many a political life of long duration
for others in the same bailiwick. He
has been sheriff of Dakota county for
the past seven years and will in all prob
ability succeed himself as many times
as he desires. In speaking of politics
and Dakota county politicians, Sheriff
Hyland spoke in glowing terms of his
old friend and campaigner, Senator
Albert Schaller, who has been chosen
to represent the Third district at the
coming national Democratic convention
in Chicago. Mr.. Schaller was for years
the county attorney of Dakota county,
and if any one in the county knows
anything about his election during all
these years it is his friend Sheriff Hy-
land. They have been on the ticket
together, and have been opposed to one
another as well, but friendship never

Sheriff Hyland will not discuss the gold
and silver question to any great extent,
but when it comes to base ball he is
right in 1T. During his visit here he
went to see st. Paul play and before
he left had long talk with Capt .Comis-
key in relation to a young protege of
his whom he is willing to back against
any pitcher in the northwest not even
excepting some of the good ones In the
Western league. The name of the
young man is Mullaney, he is at Fargo
at present and it is quite likely that in
the near future Sheriff Hyland will be
able to place him in the box in some
good game and then the fans and root
ers will be able to see what he can do.
In speaking of politics this fall, Mr..
Hyland expressed the opinion that his
county at least would go Democratic
again, and in the possible nomination Of
a free silver Democrat both for the
presidency and for governor of Mime
sofa, the great tidal silver wave might
carry some one to success. He pre-
diets all kinds of political success for
his friend Schaller in the future, and
says there is no telling where he will
stop in his political career, as he con-
siders him among the ablest men in
the state of Minnesota.
Congressman McCleary made a flying
trip to the city last evening to make
arrangements for the removal of DR..
Livingston, of Wells, who is laid up at
the Windsor with broken kneecap
