| 1t is not at all unlikely that a large
| company of st. Paul Democrats, accom-
| panied by a band, will go to Mime
apolis to attend the Lind meeting at
| the Exposition hall Monday night.
1t has not been possible for the local
admirers of Mr. Lind to arrange for
free street car service, the courtesy
/ that was accorded the Minneapolis
! heelers who came over last Monday
night, to root things up for Eustis, but
| number of st. Paul people have eX-
! pressed a Willingness to pay their fare
! to the Mill city and back, and the Como
| lnterUrban cars promise 10 be crowd
! ed for an hour or two prior to the as
semblaSe Of the meeting at the exposi-
! ton.
Not a little interest is manifested as
to whether Mr.. Lind will content HIM
self with platitudes such as were used
! by EuStis, or whether he will take up
| the platform of the Democrats, plank
| by plank, and show what it means to
the voters of the state.
Tbs G o b is assured that Mr.. Lind
is going to stand on the platform in
all that the term implies.
Charles G. Kinds, Democratic candi-
| date for congress in the Third, was
in st. Paul for few hours yesterday.
He has been looking over his district
bit and has his campaign we'll under
way. He says that he feels no doubt
about the result and bases his con-
clusion not on his own running strength
alone, for Mr.. Kinds is a very modest
man. He thinks that the disfranchise-
ment Of the foreign element will help
him. He said:
The foreign element that is essen
TALLY Republican, and which has been
driven to the polls by the leaders, has
not been naturalized. 1t is evident
everywhere. In the large Republican
districts in GOOdhue county, for in
stance, the falling off in the vote on
account Of the requirement Of full citi-
zenship will be immense. There is
practically no falling off in the Demo-
cratic vote. 1t was already naturaliz-
ed when the requirement became law
IfIs OF itself is a factor that would
suffice to change the political aspect of
the district"
Senator Allen J. Greer, Of Wabasha,
was in the city again yesterday He
found time to run I'D from his cam
paign to look after a case in the SUI
preme court. Mr.. Greer Is not only
confident Of his own reelection, but
predicts success for the congressional
ticket in the First district.
B. F. Farmer Of Spring Valley, who
is one OF the most prominent Repub-
leans in Fillmore county, was also in
ST. Paul yesterday and shared in Mr..
Greers hopefulness for the condition
OF the Republican party throughout
Mr.. Tawney's bailiwick.
Nevertheless, in spite Of the SAN
guine expectations Of these Republic
counties to Democratic state head
quarters indicate that the com
mittees are hard at work, and with
every assurance that Milo White will
give Mr.. Tawney the race Of his life.
Mr.. TaWney has number of flaws in
M ms congressional record which serious
~ handicap him and which are being
used against him with good effect.
Senator A. W. Stockton, of Faribault
| was in st. Paul yesterday. Mr.. Stock
ton has been renominated by the Re-
! publicans Of his district, and he de-
| clares that there is no show for Joel
Heatwole to be defeated Indeed. Re-
| publicans all over the state are whis-
ting to keep their courage up, although
they admit, usually, that Mr. Lind is
gong to make a heavy cut into the
ordinary vote of the G. o. P.
There iS q ctOry
ment of the Saltwater meeting which
the Republicans planned to have for
Wednesday night 1t is said that Com
gresham Stevens insisted on making
a speech there, and that the leaders Of
the committee in the city by the ST.
pattle over there on the state ticket
and let Stevens look out for himself.
The Republicans claim that HaIvor
STEVENSON has consented to stump the
Red river valley for them. 1t must
CRATE upon the sensibilities of the Sew
| enth district publicist to have to take
| to the platform to save an individuaI 50
em1nently separated from him as is the
arlstocrat, Eustis, Of Minneapolis.
w. e: Lee, of Long Prairie, who has
something Of a reputation as a politi-
| cal organizer, has been in the civ for.

1t IS gossiped among the habitues Of

The Republicans had intended to
nave a ratification meeting at Market
hall next Monday evening to Jolly the
candidates on the county ticket into the
belief that they had a show for cleo
ton.
That meeting has been declared off
The reason assigned is that the hall
could not be secured. No conflicting
attraction, however, has yet been an
