certain. but thought that Clough would

he asserted. would sweep the district
without difficulty.
J. A. Tawney of Winona, is not so
certain that he will be reelected to
congress. He was in the city yester-
day in conference with Dan Shell and
some others of the Republican state
central committee and gave it out cold
that he must have some help. Cam
paign speakers are needed to stir up
the sound money Republicans who are
prone to be Indifferent and credit Taw-
ney with greater vote getting ability
and popularity than he possesses. Pat
rick Fitzpatrick, nominee of the Demo-
Gratis and Populists may not be a
drawing room card, but he Is a CAM
paigner from the headwaters of the
Democratic creek and is gaining in
votes every day. Tawney tested the
metal of Fitzpatrick. when the latter
beat him for states attorney, and
there's no question as to which Is the
more popular. The First district is
not so strongly Republican that can
didate of that party can lie back on his
oars waiting for the tide of votes.
Judge Wilson, a Democrat, was elected
in the district, as was Capt. Harries,
also Democrat. by just such combi-
nation as has been set up against
Tawney this year. But if you ask him.
Tawney will tell you he has cinch.
A special meeting of the Democratic
county committee has been called for
10 o'clock this morning to transact
important business. Among other mat
tiers to be. considered is the selection Of
candidates for the legislature from
the Seventh and, Tenth wards to fill
vacancies created by the withdrawal
of c. w. Gordon and Samuel Murray.
1t is possible J. j. Parker, nominated
by the independent Democracy as the
candidate from the Seventh ward, will
be Endorsed by the fusionists. The
Tenth ward will probably present the
name of L. ]. Dobner.

A meeting will be held Monday even
ing at Meyers hall, East Seventh street
and Bates avenue, for the purpose Of
organizing a sound money club. All
interested in the cause of sound money,
are earnestly requested to be present.
The Manchester Park Sound Money
club was greatly pleased with the pre-
sentation of the political issues, made
by Hon. T. E. ByrneS, at it's meeting
last Monday evening; and especially
with the very courteous, though clear
and convincing manner in which he
replied to the queries Of the two
friends Of silver" who had accepted
the invitation to attend. Next Monday
evening, E. A. Paradis will address the
club, at 1861 Grand avenue, the polling
place, on 1.-THE Problem of Ratios;" a
phase Of the money question that has,
comparatively, been discussed but little.
Ladies are in attendance at these meet
ings and are especially welcome.
Senator Tillman, Of pitchfork fame,
passed through the city yesterday en-
route from Chicago to Portland Ore,
where he will go on the stump for Mr..
BryanS cause. Senator Tillman has
been in the South campaigning, and
was sent to the Northwest to make
friends for free silver by Chairman
Jones, Of the National Democratic
committee. Speaking of the situation
in the South, he said:
.'All Of the Southern states will cast
their electoral vote for Bryan with
the possible exception Of Kentucky
No matter what effort the boiling
Democrats may make, nor how many
speeches their candidates may make
in the South, they cannot change the
free coinage sentiment in the South
ern states. Illinois I consider safe
in the silver ranks, as well as Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and
perhaps Iowa. While Minnesota is not
claimed by the national committee,
from what I have heard I think the
state will be found favorable to
Bryan.
"Of the East there is nothing to be
said. The gold bugs have got us there.
But we have the West and will keep
it, too. Even the slightest change in
sentiment seems to be in our favor
1 am confident that Bryan will be
elected. His cause is that Of the peo-
pie and the people are going to vote as
they feel and believe and not as they
are told this year. There is an under
current of sentiment against the gold
bug party that cannot be estimated
even the Republican manag shrewd
as they areg have not been able to
gauge the labor vote this year. Here
tofore labor has been outspoken in
its preferences. This year labor is
keeping quiet, but it will be heard
and on the side Of Bryan"
