WILL NOT RUN.
Major Mead States His Position
Definitely.
Political Notes Gathered up On The
Opening Of the Campaign
Of '9S.

Major Mead has arrived at a definite
conclusion in regard to the wish Of
some of his friends that he should be-
come an independent candidate for
Judge of probate. He will not be a
candidate for the office. In speaking
OF the matter, he said: 81 have
always talked against unsuccessful
candidates for office Iunning'independ-
emily, and ia the present case do not
think it right for me to do it. 1t viii
lot be possible for me to make an
active campaign, such as an indepen-
dent candidate would have to make
to stand a chance Of success. / will
not be mustered out Of the N litary
service until after election in any
event, and therefore co aid not make
personal canvass. l will rot be
candidate for the CtfiGe this fall.
The conventions of the two parties
have named their tickets, and that is
all that it is necessary should be in
the field. The Republicans saw fit
not TO nominate me, and do not see
any reason why l should push myself
forward when the convention left me
out"
Major Mead takes the view Of the
matter which the most Of his friends
expected that he would take. He is
entirely right, and by bowling to the
will OF the party he places himself ia
position for fayors in the future,
should he desire anything.
d. Fl. Evans, Populist- Democrat
ic cand date for congress, will open
his campaign Sept. 30Jh by giving an
address in Lincoln county. He will
probably speak in Blue Earth county
late in the campaign.
Benz. McGregor, formerly Of Maple
ton, has been nominated by the Re-
publicans Of Waseca county for county
attorney. His Blue Earth county
friends will wish him success.
Another Of the Democratic nomi-
nees is off Of the ticket, making five
vacancies now on the ticket. The
WORK of diSintegration has gone on
tpid!y since the convention. TIL S
time it is j. r. Thompson, nominee
for county surveyor, who cannot serve
because the position of county sur
veyor is incompatible with that OF
city engineer, He evidently con-
siders bird in the hand worth two
in the bush any day of the week. In
compliance with his wishes, the
Democratic county committee has
taken his name from the ticket.
There does not seem to be any one
to name for the office, and the posi-.
tion will doubtless be left vacant. w.
F. Brooks, the Republican nominee,
has filled the office satisfactorily and
will be reelected in any event.

months longer. the army would have
been thoroughly disorg anizad and the
men completely disheartened. owing
10 the behavior of these general Of
hcers, x X
THE government. the people at
large intend that the soldier shall be
we'll cared for, but somewhere there
has been a serious miscarriage OF
plans. I'll speak just word about
the provender for the horses. We
never got full weight. A bale of hay
said to weigh 100 pounds never weigh
ed more than 70. A package of oats,
billed at 100 pounds, never went
above 100 sand this was the way with
everything we bought for the horses
and mules. l spent hours every day
protesting against this thing, but it
did no good. The trouble was with
the general staff, and the regimental
Jtficers could not reach it or remedy
IT," After abiding to the first shoes
received he goes on to speak of some
received and issued to the recruits, as
follows: "The shoes delivered, how
ever, we're not worth putting on. In
some instances they did not last two
days. The moment they were wet
they fell to pieces. Many Of the re-
cruits referred to nave had three or
four pairs of shoes each, to the one
pair furnished at ST. Paul.
Some of the boxes of shoes which
came to US and were opened by my
self, contained half dozen different
shapes each. In the same box were
razor toes, broad toes, medium toes,
round toes, coin toes, bull dogs.
Somebody had sold the government
job lot Of worthless stock at fancy
prices and the boys had to stand the
brunt of it ALL"
"Mr. Lind may be telling the truth
in regard to the kind and quantity
of property received, but has entirely
misplaced the responsibility for such
state of affairs, as the following ex-
tracts from army regulations will
show. U. S. Army regulations, 1895,
page 49,, paragraph Cos. says.
IA transfer Of public property in
wolves change of possession and &C.
.countability The transferring Of
icers will furnish the receiving Of
icer with invoices in duplicate; ac-
curately enumerating the property,
and the latter will return duplicate
receipts"
Paragraph $685. on same page says:
upon the receipt of public proper
ty by an odicer, he will make careful
examination to ascertain it's quality
and conditions, but Will not break
original packages until issues are to
pc made, unless he has reason to be-
lieYe the contents are defective.
Should he discover defect or shortage.
he will apply for hoard Of survey to
determine and fix the responsibility.
Should he consider the property un-
DC for Use he will submit inventories
IN duplicate and request the action of
an Inspector. The same rule will be
observed in regard to packages when
irst opened for issue, or for property

TO contradict this assumption or to
threaten the defeat Of this outcome were
persistently and confidently ignored.
There were reactions at times during
the day, but these were evidently due
merely to realizing sales by those who
were content to take a large profit al
ready assumed. The day closed with a
buying movement in full force and with
prices near the highest level. The day 5
net gains in the railroad list ranged from
| to 3 points, and in the specialties gains
Of over ) points in Sugar and nearly
{ points in Metropolitan Street Railway
were scored. Some of the shorts put
out in Mondays bulge were covered to-
day. and perhaps helped on the advance
materially, but the leading influence i'm
the market was a rampant speculative
buying movement. London was credit
ed with being a large buyer here, but
foreign exchange failed to reflect the
fact. the tone Of exchange being firm.
Spanish government bonds showed
strength in Paris and London, but this
was called a reflection of the strength
of American securities rather then the
cause of it, Early reports from Wash
ington that Spain had agreed to free
Cuba for S200,000,000 indemnity gave
the first powerful upard impetus to
the market. The abstention of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
from reporting any of the warlikc rcso-
lutions in its custody and the refusal
of the House to interrupt the progress
of the Presidents negotiations with the
Spanish government were interpreted
as favorable factors. No account was
apparently taken OF the implied sug-
gestion accompanying these actions that
the Presidents demands upon Spain
we're sufficiently firm and far reaching
to meet the objections of those who had
threatened TO oppose him in Congress.
The underlying conviction in financial
circles was that whatever these de-
mands may be, Spain would accede to
them and thus avert hostilities.
The bond market was by no means as
active as stocks, but the tone was
strong and more notable gains in prices
were scored. Total sales So, 1880

COTTON.

New York. March 30.-The feature of
transactions in cotton futures to-day was
the covering of short accounts and in
crease i'm the volume of speculative or
ders. On the start the market developed
/, firm undertone in response to more
satisfactory character of Liverpool ca.
bles than looked for and every indica-
lion that port and interior receipts would
fall below early estimates. Prices
moved up TO points on the first call
and continued to advance throughout
the forenoon on general covering and
quite active Liverpool buying. Advices
from Washington were much the best
vet received indicating that a peaceful
solution of the Cuban question was now
in sight A rJmor that Spain had
shown a willingness to accept S20O.000,
600 for Cuba was in circulation early in
the afternoon. giving shorts quite scare
and on this demand prices sharply adj
vanccd. Offerings throughout the SEES
sion were limited. representing in
great measure profit taking on pur
chases made at recent low figures. The
fact that port receipts ut both interior
towns and the ports have fallen below
the figures of 1895 and that exports
from day 10 day recently have nearly
doubled the receipts. figured in the adj
