Obliged to relinquish the portfolio or

Davis would likely be offered the
place by President Mckinley. Ii IS
known that the President has taken
quite liking to Mlnnesota's brilliant

foreign affairs, and it would not be at
all strange that if he should be obliged
to make a change in his official family

mind as possible man for the place.
The Minneapolis Journals Washing
ton correspondent speaking OF this
possibility says that the Senator'S
friends characterize the story of the
possibility of his going into the state
department as ridiculous, and that
his only ambition is to succeed him.

he would make great record in the

never before enjoyed in that body.
All over the state the demand is
growing among Republicans for his

The Minneapolis Journal of Satur-

trict congressman: "Advices from
Washington are to the effect that
Congressman McCleary has been
placed at the head of the literary
bureau of the Republican national
congressional committee. This is
something in which the entire state
may take pride. If there is con-
gressional district in the United
States which is we'll represented and
has reason for being proud of it's mem
Der it is the Second of Minnesota.
And speaking for the entire delega-
ton, in both houses The Journal is of
the opinion that the state has never
had so much and varied ability ia con-
gress as right now. 1t would be most
unfortunate, not for the Republican
party any more than for the state, if
the elections this year should bring
about any material changes in the
house delegation"

a suggestion on the part of Spain, and
when she found that it would not be
pleasantly received by this country,
promptly withdrew it.

The Free Press evidently hit Bro.
Sherin, of the WinnebagO City Press
News. in a very sore and tender spot
when it called attention to the alb
surd falsehood he gave circulation to
regarding a mythical petition having
been signed in Mankato by twelve
hundred citizens pledging themselves
against Congressman McCleary. AS
is usual with towards Of his stripe DE
fails even to try to Justify his false
hood, but in lieu thereof falls to per-
sOnal abuse of the editor of this pa
per. 1t is evident that Mr.. McCleary
knew precisely what he was doing
when he declined to recommend
Sherin for the Winnebago City post
office, and no better evidence of this
fact is wanting than in Sherin's self
conviction as a falSitier since Dr.
Beebe's selection. Sherin supported
Cleveland for president and was
turned down as an applicant for the
postoffice by the ex-president. His
fate under Republican administra-
tion was even more deserved, as
Sherin himself has furnished suff1-
Gent proof. The Press-News is well
come to abuse the editor of this pa
per as much as it may please. Past
friendship, and many courtesies ex-
tended seem to be readily forgotten
by some people who can't get what
they want, although getting what
they most deserve.
