tees Of Fusion Parties.
MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 5-The fusion COM
mittees on conference, regarding the nomi-
nees for county Offices, he'd an executive
meeting at Democratic headquarters this
afternoon. After the meeting Secretary Good
ing gave it out that VIXEN the committee
adjourned it was simply to report progress.
This statement IS offset by that OF another
member Of the conference, who said that
the committeeman agreed upon a report which
is to be submitted<o the county committees
at the next meeting The gentlemen also
said that the position Of congressional nom
inee was not considered and that the entire
attention CT the committee was devoted to
county and legislative matters. He also a.
lowed it to be inferred that no agreement
was reached. There is a very hard task
before the committee, and in some cases
II seems impossible to reconcile the elements
This is true OF the Forty second senatorial
district, where Albert D9ilenmayer persists
in keeping the legislative nomination given

tire and give way TO a PopVlist, thus even

Because some days ago Sheriff Phillips
annou2ced that his final intention was to

conducted IS not yet matter for the public
eye but it may be stated that overtures
have been made, and that last week meet
ing was had between the two candidates.
The deal looks to the withdrawal Of Whit
comb. 1t may not be Consummated en- the
basis in contemplation, nor perhaps at all;
but it is up for consideration at this time.
The Republican campaign committee is
understood to be slated for q meeting Wed
nesday morning at the Union League rooms.
The committee has not been selected as
yet, but the chairman Of the four local COM
mittees will have their lists Of members ready
by tomorrow evening and the common view
they have adopted is that it will be well to
organize Wednesday.
The city committee will be called tomorrow
morning at $3.50. at the Union League rooms.
Chairman Jamison will call his county COM
mittee at the same place in the afternoon,
and Chairman Smith Of the Judicial commit
tee will summon his. also fer the afternoon
and at the league rooms. Maj. Hale, chair
man of the congressional committees, said
matter had been resigned to his hands. AS
soon as he learns that the other committees
have acted, he will announce the three men,
bers he is entitled to on the campaign .dy.
Some of the committees remaining msy
elect their members, but the probable action
will be to leave this responsibility to the
chairman.
