FOR VAN SAINT.
Tuesdays Convention May Lean
-. That Way.
Rum0rs Abroad That His Outside Friends
Will Undertake to Pack the
> Conference.

Indications are not wanting that an
effort will be made by the Van SAINT
leaders in the state to pack next Tues
days conference in this city and con-
troll it in the interest of their favorite A
prominent Republican who returned to
the city today from a trip outside of the
Second district said that such scheme
is on foot. According to this plan, a
large number will arrive from outside
of the district, taking advantage of the
general nature of the invitation sent
out. Railroad tickets will be bought
and given to whoever will come and
fight for Van SAINT.
c 1t is not unreasonable to believe that
such a plan is on foot. If Van SAINT
should carry this conference, after all
the talk that it has created over the
state, it would give chim prestige that
would make his nomination certain.
If he fails to carry it, and radical &C.
ton is taken against his interests, it
may result in putting him out of the
question as a candidate. Still, it is
not thought that the plan, if there is
one, will succeed. :.
1t has never been claimed by the
movers of this conference that it was
intended as an anti-Van SAINT express
sion, but as an anti-machine move. If
Mr.. Van SAINT has mo allegiance to the
machine, and no. connection with it
whatever, no action taken by the con-
ference will result in injury to his in
terests. 1t is the machine and it's can
didates that those who planned the
conference are after.

CAPITAL BILL DEBATED.
Y. II. G. A. Senators Close Up the
Years Business.

The Y. M. G. A. senate held it's
closing business session last night,
and cleared the calendar up.
The first measure taken up was the
bill for public park in Rapidan, and
it went through it's third reading
easily.
The bill for the removal of the CAPT.
tol from Mankato to Rapidan was de-
feated when placed upon it's final pas
sage. The senators from Mankato
and the immediate vicinity oUtnum-
bered those from the more rural dis.
tricts, and the bill was quietly laid to
rest:
The bill limiting the number of
offices to be held to one was passed, as
was also the educational bill, and the
bill legalizing deeds and mortgages
having but one witness.
The first measure to create any dis
cussion was the bill to reimburse
Senator Garfield Morrison for the ex-
penses incurred in defending the con-
test for his seat. The bill appropria-
ted 5000, but was amended to read
fifty cents and in that form passed
under suspension of the rules. Some
maintained that 1t was setting bad
precedent to allow anything as it
would encourage senators to have
their seats contested in order to get
an appropriation.
Senator G. L. Kennedy's bill for a
bridge at Dodd's ford, in Shelby, was
passed under suspension of the rules.
Senator Kennedy was absent, but
when it was explained that his con.
stituents were tearing down his poll.
tical fences on account of their not
having received an appropriation, and
that he was trying to repair them, the
bill was put through by the senator's
friends as an emergency measure to
save him.
A bill was introduced to appropriate
$50 1000 for state exhibit at the
ouoh0 SApOSIOlOhs Ouu VIC
of the senators thought the amount
too much. considering the hard times
which the state has gone through. and
cut the appropriation to $4,000. and
then passed the bill under Suspension
of the rules, after considerable dis
cussion.
A joint resolution of the House, ap-
propriating $4,000 to aid in combat
ting hog cholera, was presented and
created a sharp discussion. 1t was
warmly opposed by several senators
as being waste of money, and was
defeated by close vote. The sena-
tors who opposed the measure are ex-
pected to have warm time for re-
election, unless they can satisfactorily
explain their vote tC their constitu-
entS.
The committee on banquet reported
that the ladies of the Y w. G. A had
offered to give complimentary ban
quet to the senators on Saturday eve
ming, March Goth. The report was
adopted. 1t is expected that every
member of the senate will be present
at the banquet.
