Reports brought from Cincinnati by
those returning from the G. A. r. en-
campment, as we'll as the mid-rOad
Populist convention" so-called, pre-
sent some facts which had not appear
ed in the press kilograms. One report
accounts for the appearance of
Chairman Donnelly's lengthy address
to the people of the United States. Ac-
cording to this statement, there is poor
prospect of tn original ever seeing
light. This is on account Of the bolt
Of a third of the delegates, who on
departing, when they could not escape
nominations, raided the chairman'S ta-
BILE, siezed and carried off all the docu-
ments in sight, including the only copy
Of DnnnalIu odd The holt
braced the representatives from Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. When
those who did remain reached the bal
lot, 1t Is said that there were only
score or SO present, but those proceed
ed to cast the whole vote, just as If
none had departed, a single man, in
some cases, casting the whole vote of
his state; as If there was no representa-
tive, some one voted for the state all
the same.
The truth also appears to be that Mr..
DOnnelly WAS defeated for president, by
Minnesotas vote, ten Of the total of for
ty-six voting for Barker. The latter's
total vote as thus made up was 1852,
to 117R for Donnelly Thus had Min
nesota stood by her favorite son, the
vote would have been reversed, ard
Donnelly been at the head instead OF
the tail Of the ticket.
Among the boilers who left the hall
was Dad" Foster, editor Of the new
Populist paper, Independent Eagles
Eye, Of Minneapolis. Others reported
to have bolted were Hamlin V. POore
and J. B. Dukes, hitherto regarded as
among the faithful mid-roaders.
Minnesota Populists declare that the
Cincinnati movement has destroyed 1t
self, and the campaign inaugurated for
1900, of which the Sage is the tail, has
died bornin'.
Since Hiler Horton has succeeded. as
he believes, in knocking all possibility
of Senator Nick Pottgieser's renoml-
nation in the head he has felt that he
could almost read his title clear to
place in the senate from that district.
Mr.. Horizons figuring may need some
revision. A number of the Democrats
of the Fourth and Seventh wards,
which include the senatorial district,
who feel that every seat in the legls-
Iature or senate that 1t is possible to
get should be secured this year, have
decided to urge DR. Schiffmann to ac-
cept the nomination for the senate.
Everybody knows how the doctor
stands with the voters Of both the Sew
enth and Fourth wards, and it Is be-
lieved that if he were nominated he
would have little difficulty in defeating
Hiler Horton.
J. Mexico Hawthorne may be the
nominee for the legislature on fusion
ticket from the Sixth ward, and since
this has become known there have not
been as many aspirants for a place on
the ticket as there were some weeks
ago. G.. S. Schurman has been men
toned for the place. He may be in
duced to accept it.
Mr.. Harvey officers name is being
the places on the Democratic ticket for
the position of district court Judge. Mr..
Officer, it is urged, is a capable law
yer, has a large acquaintance among
the voters Of ST. Paul, and is a repre-
sentative and able man In his profess
sion.
A number Of Democrats met at A.
]. Albachten's hall, University and
Dale streets, and organized a Lind
and Willis club. Fifty-four names were
placed on the roll. A number of
speeches were made, and 1t was agreed
that each man present should consti-
tute a committee Of one to assist in
help building up the clubs membership.
Thursday evenings were selected as the
regular meeting nights. The temporary
officers are A. ]. Albachten, president,
and M. j. Mccarthy, secretary.
Hon. Nick Pottgieser was busy re-
ceiVing his friends, the enemies, last
night. Early in the evening Hiler Hor-
ton dropped in and assured the senator
that he thought he had the nominat ton
cinched.
But" added Mr.. Horton. "ff I find
that 1 cannot land it and that Arrol's
chances seem better than mine, 1 give
you my word that all of my delegates
will go to you
Mr. Horton had been gone but an
hour or less when In dropped Arrol
and Eli Warner.
II am going to get this nomination
sure said Arrol to the senator. "but
if at any stage Of the game find that
Horton has me beaten 1 assure you
that every delegate 1 have will be
thrown to YOU
Dearth VIII Contribute.
