The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-31
marks, at the close putting F. c.

E. G. Rogers searched the history
| of the world for heroes and statesmen
| to find comparisons for the heroes and
| statesmen of the Republican party, and
second the nomination. H. F. Barker,
| of Isanti, also seconded, and the NOM
| ination was made by rising vote.
Mr.. Stevens was on hand to thank
| them for the unexpected honor, and
read a speech that had been carefully
| prepared, and in which he started out
| by saying that words failed him to
| express his sense of the honor that had
| been done him. Then he thought OF
| 1000 words, and delivered the speech
| that he thought had failed him. His
| speech dealt to great extent with
| what the Republican party had accom-
plished for the country, and his utter
ances on the policy of his party for
| the future were not very clearly de-
| fined
| J. Adam Bede spoke in characteristic
| humor, and at his conclusion Hiram r.
| Stevens, of Ramsey, made a speech in
which he lauded the party and the can
didate, and talked very much like
man who had hopes of his own. When
he got through the convention adjourn
| ed.
Among the people who accompanied
the st. Paul delegation to Rush City
| there were number who would not
object to being remembered when the
| time comes for dividing up the county
| offices.
E. A. Jaggard was in the crowd.
Rumor credits Mr.. Jaggard with being
hopeful of getting one of the nomina-
| lions for the district bench this fall.
| He has been quite a conspicuous fig
| ure at conventions of late, and has
lost no opportunity to make himself
useful in the way of speech making.
Walter Chaplin, who has not been in
sight to any great extent for couple
of years. went along. He is after the
same sort of recognition that Mr.. Jag
| gard hungers for-he wants to be
judge.
George Irish was not regularly
elected delegate, but he got Capt. Gal
ticks proxy and went with the push.
He still has his eye on the nomination
for sheriff, in spite of the fact that
his partner, Eli Warner, is thinking
about doing Hitler Horton out of the
senatorial nomination for the Seventh
and Fourth wards. Ed. Krahmer, who
| expects to be renominated f3r his pres
ent office, went along, as did Sam An
derson, who fears that his party may
presently forget him and does not pro-
pose that they shall do so if his pres
ence is any reminder His bette noir,
Fred Zollman, was very close to his
chief all day. Dennis M. Sullivan was
carrying himself as jauntily as if he
didn't know that Aid. Jim Bell was
also or the trip, and that both of them
We're intent on fixing things for the
same Office-the county authorship. H.
T. Stevens went with the push just TO
keep in touch and find out how con-
gres sional nominations are made-for
he has an eye on one two years hence.
He is not going to take any chances
running in the district in which he
finds himself located this fall. He lives
In senatorial district now that in
cluGeS part of the Ninth and all of the
Third wards, and he might have a row
if he tried for the senatorial nominal
ton. Ed. Feldhauser, who is looking
for Stevens seat, was doing the best
he could for himself with the push and
and Ed Bazille was strictly in every
conference that came off.
1t is not to be doubted that there
were jobs put up and possibly some
deals were made. In any event it was
a bad day for the fellows who staid at
home.
and pretty easy running in sight for
the Democrat who will make an active
campaign against him on his record,
it may be expected that Judge Willis
will enter at once on his campaign. The
judge is quite as much in earnest now
as he was a month ago about going
after the nomination, and that he can
get it goes without saying. He will
make a vigorous campaisn-there is no
doubt of that, and it will be of such
a character that Mr.. Stevens may be
assured that he had only begun to meet
his troubles when he got rid of the
Dahlgren nightmare. Thee are no be-
ter campaigners than Judge Willis,
and there is no more vulnerable candi-
To- hAar Nv, -,
congressional hide is about due to be
tanned.
The candidacy of AL Sibley, for the
Democratic nomination for clerk of the
district court, is taking concrete form
and 1t Is likely that he will be the nomi-
nee, as there seems to be no sort of OPP
position to him. He is strong with the
young, has the backing of an honorable
name and influential family connection
| with the old-timers, is a st. Paul boy
and is calculated to give Mr. Rogers a
run for his money, if both of them are
nominated.
Billy Johnson has his political lamp
fixed on another job. There were about
three weeks in which Mr.. johnson was
not candidate for anything. The hia-
tus occurred between the time he quit
running for Gle Of the municipal court
and the time he took up the race for
sheriff. Now he has switched off the
last line and wants to be considered as
a candidate for the nomination for au-
ditor Billy is an "amcos n little cuss,"
even from the Republican point of view,
and he will have to settle down
| and go after some one office within a.
very few weeks now.
Chairman Rosing, of the Democratic
state central committee, has appointed
the six gentlemen who, with himself.
Will constitute the executive commit
tee and have the general charge Of
the campaign.
P. B. Winston, of Minneapolis, who
Is also the treasurer Of the central
| committee, is made a member Of the
| executive; T. O'Connor, of Renville; T.
, T. Hudson, of Duluth; w. J. Allen, of
| Winona, and J. w. Willis, of ST. Paul.
| all members of the committee at large {:
| B. J. Mosher, of Saltwater, and Chair
man Rosing are the other members of
| the executive body.
Mr.. Rosing was appointed by the
| central committee as chairman Of the
executive committee, and he will call
meeting of that body within a couple
| of weeks.
