Il want to know whether the Senator
has investigated it?" Mr.. Tillman ex-
planned.
Has the Senator any charge to make
in regard to it?" Mr. Platt asked.
IF the investigation is ordered" Mr..
Tillman replied, Il will furnish some wit

Il saw recently in a newspaper" said
Mr.. Platt. "a statement that there had
been some great frauds connected with tine
building CT that railroad, that an uncon-
scionable contract had been made. and
that behind the contract were the former
Secretary Of War. Mr.. Alger. and the two
Senator's from New York, Messrs. Depew
and Plat Now if that is the charge. let
us have it. That charge was quickly fol-
lowed by a declaration from Mr.. Alger that
he had nothing whatever to do with it.
That shows the reoklessnsss CT the people
who are hunting for stones to throw at

Mr.. Platt went on. to say that he did not

protection to the Spanish residents of the

remained loyal to Spain. 1t was military
occupancy and 1t will cease to be a military
occupancy when an opportunity shall have
been given to the people of Cuba to set up
a government for themselves"
Can the Senator state when that is
likely to take place." Mr.. Bacon asked. in
an incredulous tone.
'It is easy to ask questions, said Mr..
Plat. contemptuously. Anybody can ask

cans of the Third senatorial district
held their convention yesterday after
noon to nominate one candidate for the
senate, vice K: P. Levang, pop, whose
term expires this year, and two can
didates for the house. Perfect har-
mony surrounded the proceedings, the
only anxiety prevailing among the del

fidence of the people and win at the
polls in November. Gilbert Erickson,
a prominent and successful farmer,
was nominated for the senate and Ole
Loftsgaard, Dundee, and John Fergu-
son, Rushford, were made the nominees
for the house. Mr.. Erickson is man

Legislature. He has had a wide exper-
ience in local public affairs as a mem
Der of the Walsh county board of COM
