The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-01-05

Some Republicans who have been es-
| teemed wise" in their day and genera
| ton, and among them fellows who are
supposed to be in the current generation,
| too, have held aloof from the Van SAINT
| cohorts with sang froid that command
ed the admiration of those who thought
they were, like Casabianca, standing on
the burning deck and pretty near the
time for the burst of thunder sound.
| But it seems. now, that there was a
possible unanirnity of purpose, a con-
| seriousness of d power somewhere, not
necessarily divine, which was going to
bring misfortune to the ship of the Van
Santites, so that their heroism is not so
sublime after all, when from Washing
ton comes the information that Tams
Bixby, the grim-visaged warrior Of Red
Wing, has let the watchword leak out.
j Tams says that Van SAINT will have
serious opposition for the nomination, and
that a member of the Minnesota congress
sonal delegation will be the man.
| That cuts the field down to seven, aside
| from Van. It's six to one you get the
right one starting from scratch. But then
McCleary isn't known outside the boun-
| daries of his district. The Republicans
would hardly dare to run him, unless
that is perhaps the reason they are go
ing to, so as to give Henry Miller and
George Somerville, and the rest OF the
Second district people a chance to run
their various congressional aspirations
into a political sink hole.
Tawney, perhaps, would like to run,
were it not for the fact that it would
seriously embarrass Speaker Henderson
Should he be deprived Of the benign pres
ence and unfailing inspiration of the
| Winona mans presence, lighting the path
before him with that full appreciation of
the labyrinthine possibilities of the ad-
1ninistraton policy, which could only be
fostered in the shady streets of that
Athens of the Gopher state, picturesque,
ambitious, Winona. Tawney would make
Minnesota a good governor but the ma
| ton can't spare him from his larger field
of work. So he immo.ates himself on the
/ altar of his public duty.
Eddy was talked of some, but Eddy has
| been compelled to wait so often for the
vote from the back deestrcts'' that this
might handicap him in the convention.
o,evens residence in ST. Paul would
/ probably ALLEVIATE from him the support
OF Mime apoi-s, andthat community wa Is
to gei back in the Republican fold this
4 year If it can have some one nominated
who suits it. He need not live il Mil
! neapolis, exactly, but some of his wi. e s
| relations ought to live at least as close
as Coon creek, SO that the me-curial Jp-
ulatien of the Mill City might feel at
least a neighbory interest III the ampi-
lions of the cand date.

Interests he is so capably taking care CT
in his present place would view with dis
| may his advent in the gubernatorial rec.
Page Morris is having trouble getting
/ the Republicans of his own district to
unite on him for congress- so he mus be
! out of it, and that-why that only leaves
Heatwole. Why, isn't that strange? You
know people have been wondering what
the Third district was going to ask And.
! modestly, the Third now peeps, through
the Bixbyan trachea, as 1t were, "G1ve
us the leader and let who will furnish
men" ,fes..ss-t~ ss'tfs 81"
State Representative Schultz, of Mar
SHALL the would-be boss CT Lyon county
/ Republicans, received severe bow at
the recent village election held in that
town. Mr.. Schultz was a candidate for
alderman, and exceedingly confident of
L winning. "A very SHldll VOlc was SoSSt
and out Of about 800 votes he was defeat
ed by majority Of over fifty.

i Some of the Republican state papers
are criticising Gov. Lind for appointing

commission. The Duluth News-Tribune,

Lind, the reformer,' mas appointed
