EusrlS FOR GOVERNOR.

The Republican state convention
yesterday nominated William
Henry Eustis, of Minneapolis, for
governor. The first ballot STOOD
Collins, 24s; Van SAINT, 401 and
Eustis 529. The second ballot re-
suited in the nomination of the
Minneapolis man, he gaining
votes from both other candidates.
There was no enmity displayed
in the convention, and the best of
feeling followed the nomination.
Eustis made an excellent speech of
acceptance, and Van SAINT and
Collins both appeared on the plat
form and expressed their loyalty
to the party, and their pleasure at
the fair methods used in the pre-
liminary campaign. The conyen'
ton was very enthusiastic one.
Senator Davis was endorsed as
the party's candidate for re-elec'
tion, and the mention of his name
at any time during the proceedings
brought out the most hearty ap-
plause. This gathering of 1176
delegates and many hundreds OF
Republicans from all parts of the
state was remarkable for the uni.
versal confidence of Republican
success this year.
The party will enter upon the
campaign with enthusiasm, and
with one OF the most brilliant cam.
paign orators in the state at the
head of the ticket, the campaign
will be vigorous and exciting, and
result in a great Republican vic.
tory in Minnesota. The nomina-
tion of Eustis is a death blow to
the Clough machine, and the war
governors personal and official fol-
lowing are dispondent.
While the old machine may at.
tempt here and there to get It's
pets in public position, it will not
much longer have the patronage
and power to influence men as it
formerly has. From this stand
point the nomination of Eustis is
u blessing to Minnesota.

Trade Conditions.

Business men generally report a
continuance during the past week OF
the excellent trade conditions that
have prevailed for several months.
Some merchants claim that the bust.
ness OF the last several weeks was
fully 100 per cent better than at this

this condition to the fact that the
demand and prices for all farm prod
ucts have been much better than for
several years.

defeat CT the movement. Colonel
Montgomery should be appealed to,
to grant an extension of the fur

I dissent IN TOTO from the as

and supplement this dissent with
the statement that, the action oi
Colonel Montgomery-even grant
ing that he had the power and was
disposed to extend the furloughs Of

effect the result of the election, fur
