LIND FOR GOVERNOR.
Will be the Fusion andidate Again This
Year.

Alderman Zimmerman returned
from st. Paul Thursday, where he at
tended a meeting of the Democratic
state central committee. The COM
mittee decided to call the nominating
convention for June 18th, the same
date as the conventions of the Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans. Mr..
Zimmerman states that there is no
doubt but that the three parties will
nominate John Lind for governor, and
he states that a warm campaign will
be put up for the Republicans. Mr..
Zimmerman took a walk through the
state house and when questioned by
an Office holder why he was looking
around so carefully he replied that he
was making a note of what house
cleaning would be necessary next fall.
Mr.. Zimmerman states that one
prominent Republican told him that
he had made twelve political speeches
already this spring. The opposition
is preparing to take advantage of what
they think is going to be an off year
for the Republicans.

The lecture given Friday evening at

Baker, on "Gen. Grant," was rare
treat to those who heard it. The
church was we'll filled, and had been
appropriately decorated with flags,
bunting and American beauty roses.
A large picuture of Gen. Grant was
also exhibited. G.. L. Kings Juvenile
band was in attendance and rendered
some excellent music.
Gen. Bakers lecture was. given from
manuscript, and showed careful pre-
paration and much research. He
gave a personal military history
of the great Union commander, and
compared him favorablY with the
great geniuses of history. Gen. Baker
is always interesting, and he relieved
the dryness of historical narrative
with incidents and anecdotes. The
lecture has been given in several
Southern Minnesota cities, and has
never failed to receive high compli-
ments. The ladies cleared about $780,

seventies, and made very capable
official. He moved to Rochester about
6fteen'years ago, and has been doing
clerical duty until incapitated by
sick ness. He was an unusually bright
and intelligent man, and had many
warm friends in Mankato and Blue
Earth county, who will sincerely re-
greet his death. He was formerly a

NO RESOLUTIONS.
Official Board Holds a Very
Cool Meeting.
DR.. Lines Letter Was Not Referred to,
But Some Pointed Questions Were
Propounded the Former Pastor.

The official board of the Methodist
church, held "a meeting Thursday, in
response to the request of DR.. Line,
and the relations between the former
pastor and the church were wound up.
The meeting was we'll attended, but
is described as having been so cool
that icicles hung from the gas jets.
DR.. Line stated the reasons why he
had concluded to 90 to Indiana, as al
ready given by him. He was asked
several pointed questions, among
them being why he had pa ssed by the
board and church until the present
time, and he replied in substance as
stated in these columns yesterday in
his interview.
1t is customary. for the official
board to adopt resolutions on the de-
parture of a pastor, but the board
overlooked doing this at that eve
ning's meeting. 1t had been limited
that something in this line would be
proper at this time, but no one made
the move. Az result, DR.. Line
leaves with no official commentator
or show Of regret.
The letter which has occasioned
such a stir was not referred to at the
meeting, but once or twice it was
very nearly brought into the discus
sion. Had it been considered, the
etiquette of diplomacy would probab-
ly have been thrown aside, and the
entente cordiale broken.
A typographical error yesterday
caused us to misquote DR.. Line in one
particular. What he did say in refer
renee to Presiding Elder Sweet, and
what we tried to quote him as saying
was that he had reason to believe
that Elder Sweet does not desire to
have the Salina pastorate back when
his term as elder is over.
1t appears that sometime before
DR.. Line wrote to Elder Sweet, an
anonymous letter was sent to some
one Gin Salina, purperting to have
been sent from Mankato, in which a
number of trivial charges were made
against DR.. Cleveland. This was evil
IDENTIFY intended .to'stir up trouble in
his church and to undermine the
good which he was able to accomplish.
The letter seems to have received no
more attention than it deserved, how
ever.
