gum should have the secretaryship Of
the senate, and that Martin should
have the secretaryship of the Judiciary
committee, a position for which he is
exceptionally we'll fitted, as a gradu-
ate of Ann Arbor and one of the lead
ing attorneys at the Stearns county
bar
In measure, the outcome is a vic
tory for Martin, who came into the
fight from the country, heretofore I'M
heard of, and by excellent general
ship attained the position of leading
candidate, which he held for week
and might have successfully maintain
ed, had not the well-intended, but dis
astrous, acts of one of his friends
brought about combination of his
opponents.
MAI tins friends might still have
put up a strong fight, even in the face
OF the present condition." said Alvah
Eastman, of ST. Cloud, who has been
one of the leading Martin supporters,
last night. I'VE might, however, have
endangered sectional fight that
would have been unpleasant, and we
preferred the compromise l am sure
that Martin will make a very accepta-
Bile secretary of the judiciary COM
mittee, as he is we'll fitted by his
training for the position
candidate for the position Of post
master of the house, was at the Wind
SCR last evening in the interest of his
candidacy. Mr.. Anderson is one of the
hard Republican workers of the south
ern part of the state and has the back
ing of Representatives Gutterson. Ny
quist and Argetsinger.
Rev. w. w. Lewis, of the Atlantic
Congregational church, is a candidate
for chaplain of the senate.
The settlement of the Martin-Lan-
gum fight so simplifies matters in the
senate that there is little likelihood of
serious conflict in the caucus to-
night, in that branch of the legislature
at least. Fred Van Duzee, the only
other candidate for the secretaryship,
has declared that he wants nothing, as
he was IN the contest for the secre-
taryshfp only.
A. ID. Countryman, of Appleton, a
constituent of Senator E. T. Young,
will no doubt be the first assistant
clerk and secretary, and w. d. Smith
of Blue Earth City, second assistant.
The engrossing clerkship is not all
solutely settled. The Langum people
have all along been favorable to SEN
afor Ryder, of Polk, who has a candi-
date for the place, Prof. A. B. Christy.
10y was q 1lttic tdTQy IN cam per-
ing on the band wagon, but NAV save
his distance today. Victor Shallen. of
Little Falls, is to get the enrolling
clerkship.
w. P. Huntington, of Redwood Falls.
will be sergeant-at-arms and Thoma s
Downs, of Minneapolis, assistant. St
Paul not having anything that far in
the senatorial distribution tends to
boom the chances of Rev. w. w. Lew
is. of the Atlantic congregational
church. Rev. William Wilkinson. of
Minneapolis, has been making a can
vass for the place, but has been treat
ed with some frigidity by the members
of his own delegation Duluth wanted
the chaplaincy for Rev. Robert Forbes
of that city, but will probably not op-
pose Lewis.
Henry Burkhardt, of Wabasha. is to
be file clerk.
In the house no opposition has vet
developed to Israel Bergstrom for
chief clerk. o. K. Dahle, of Spring
Valley, seems to be cinched for the
first assistant clerkship, and c. Berg
huis, of Clara City, has the support
of ]. F. Jacobson for the second place
b F. Beck, of st. Paul, is slated fol-
enrolling clerk, and N H. Ingersoll
OF Brainerd, for engrossing clerk.
J. M. Bayer, of Moorhead, will make
