17HE LONDONDERRY SITTER.
AT EvENTlpe.

At eventide to me 1t sometimes seems
That, ere the morrow's sun shall rise
once more
Perchance, It's but fancy born OF
dreams
My new born soul beyond the skies
shall soar
And, the imprisoned spirit, its
bonds in twain,
The life beyond shall seek. and not
in vain.
And Night, dark Night, shall come to
us at last.
And end the closing of the setting day,
When Death, the g.im gray messenger,
his net shall cast,
And, from this vale, shall summon
rs away
To join the taroGg OF those who
went before,
And, in thu unknown world. to live
for eveImor

Although seamen have to doff their
caps when undergoing inspection on
board ship. marines do not have to dc
so. The royal marines do not uncover
their heads as mark of respect excep,

some sort of organization be formed
that will control the preliminaries of
party action in Ramsey county for the
future.
It Is agreed on all hands that some
thing must be done to leave the party
organization in a position to present
solid front to the enemy and the pur-
pose of the meeting is to consolidate
the party on such lines that neither
Mr.. Michael nor Mr.. Bell nor anyone
else shall have any room for complaint.
1t is proposed that at this preliminary
meeting all of the Democrats in the
city, Of whatever faction, shall be CIV
en- equal standing and that the outcome
shall not be in any way binding on
the members-beyond that which good
faith implies. The meeting Is purely &
Democratic gathering to which those
who subscribe to Democratic doctrines
will be welcome.
In the contemplated plan of organ
iZation it is not to be considered that
the men who have. in the past, nomin-
ated the party in St. Paul shall be
prominent. The various fractional lead
ers will have as much to say as any
other individual in the matter Of or
ganization, but they have all agreed
that they will not interfere with the
new organization and in the list Of Of
ficers of the new formation there will
not be a man who has hitherto been a
leader.
This has been agreed to without dis
sent and all Of the younger Democracy
who are present at the meeting will be
received and given place solely accord
Ing to their capacity to organize.
1t has been demonstrated to the lead
ers that the time has come to forget
dissensions and the meeting is called for
the purpose Of ignoring. quite as much
as for healing, all differences.
A letter received Friday from
Washington by a politician of some
local prominence goes to show that
the senior senator from Minnesota has
pretty good political sense, and also
indicates that there is a good basis
for the intimation that Col. Kiefer in
tends to secure at once and without
| unnecessary delay return to congress.
1t is said that Senator Davis has urged
upon Congressman Stevens the desira-
bility Of his not asking for an indorse-
ment In the way of a denomination,
| and has promised the congressman
| that he shall have staff appointment
| or such other compromising office as he
| shall desire, in the case of his retire
| ment from the congressional race. The
| story from Washington bears the ear
| marks of truth. in view of the rather
open candidacy that Col. Kiefer Is al
| ready entered upon for the nomination.
| 1t again occurred yesterday that the
| colonel sent friend to a city official
| to find out what he thought of the
| scheme of Kiefer's accepting another
congre ssional nomination The friend
of Kiefer told the city official that the
colonel got himself elected mayor only
| to prove his strength to the politi-
| clans; that his sole ambition was to
live in Washington, ard that this fall
would be the best time to put his plan
into effect. If the present congress-
man should happen to be defeated by
Ed Rogers. the latter. If elected, would
demand and probably receive the COM

There will be meeting Of the Demo-
cratic county committee at the office
of Chairman Townley next Tuesday
evening. 7f
Chairman L. A. Rosing, of the Demo-
cratic state committee, is up to date
the Only candidate for the nomination
for secretary of state on the Democratic
ticket. It is generally conceded by the
state press, that Mr.. Rosing may have
the nomination if he wants it.
It also goes without saying that John
Lind will be the choice Of the fusionists,
if there is a fusing Of the forces of the
Democracy with the Populists. Mr..
he thought it likely that he would make
the running If nominated, unless his
regiment was before the enemy
If Mr.. Lind is nominated at Mime
apolis next month, and accepts, it is
probable that there will be me change
made in the plans of Gov. Clough. Lind
was given a commission to get rid of
clearing the way for Clough's re-elec-
tien. It is practically certain that the
governor will not accept the nemina-
ton if he Is to run against the man who
came SO near defeating him two years
ago, that 1t took special train and
trip to Roseau county to pull him
through. while his ticket was elected by
an enormous majority.

for a combination Of Collins friends
with those of Van SAINT to do up the

the county centers rather in the con-
test for the district judgeship. Judge
