WILL CAUCUS THIS MORNING.
The minority in the legislature will
caucus at $50 today at room 16, at the
capitol to come to unanimous and
harmonious understanding in regard to
the selection of candidate for the
senatorship.
Nearly all Of the Democratic and
Populist senators and representatives
have taken advantage of the recess to
return to their homes and 1t was i'm
possible to caucus. Notice of the meet
ing has been served on all the men,
Senator Albert Schallar, chairman Of
the joint representation.
1t was hoped that an arrangement
might have been arrived at yesterday
by which the two parties could get to-
gether but, owing to the absence Of
practically all the members until a
late hour last night no compromise
could he effected.
The Democrats contend that, in
view of the liberal recognition given
the silver Republicans in the distribu-
tion of offices by Gov. Lind, the Popu-
lists should not insist too strongly on
the courtesy of a nomination being
given to Charles A. Towne. STILL the
Sixth district Democrats, headed by
H. c. Stivers, of Brainerd, are holding
in support of the Populist idea con-
siderable detachment of the Demo-
tic vote.
Senator Schaller, of Hastings, who
is, as president of the recent caucus,
perhaps the recognized leader of the
Democrats. is anxious for peace, but
whether peace can be had without
surrender to the Populists is the ques-
ton that remains to be solved.
The Democratic caucus is called for
$3.50 this morning. 1t is expected that
the Populists will meet with them be-
fore the sessions of the two houses
open.
TALK OF A FIGHT.
If, as was intimated by some Of the
Minneapolis politicians yesterday. the
senate discusses the confirmation of
Gov. Lind's appointments today in ex-
ecutive session. it will give some of
the Republican senators a chance to
assert themselves. Senator RYDER. of
Polk, has openly expressed himself
against such sessions, claiming that
there should be nothing brought up
at such occasions which should not
rightfully be public property. Senator
Ryder is an old newspaper man him
self, and has definite ideas on this
subject which may lead to a pretty
!ltlle contest this morning, unless he
Is whipped into line by the party lash
