cal Gossip.

The republican senatorial committee
for this district, as reorganized by APP
fpointment, met at Redwood Falls last
week and decided that the senatorial
convention should be held at Redwood
Falls on the 22nd of September.
The appointment is based upon the
vote cast for Mckinley in 1896, allow
ing ore delegate for every $50 votes or
major fraction thereof. This gives the
two counties equal representation twelve
deles ates each. Some effort was made
to base the apportionment upon the CUB
ernatorial vote IN order that Redwood
county might have majority of dele
gates, but the committee unanimously
favored following the precedent and
taking the presidential vote for tie basis.

ton Of delegates to this convention will
be held, at the suggestion of the senatorial
committee, on the 2Oth of September at

didates for county offices will also be

tuted at present, consists of Bingham,
