following close on the heels Of the addi-
tional dollar tariff on lumber, that the
present finds him in mood to do al
most anything to make it right with the
party. AS q Beneficiary" he is not I'M
grateful.
1t is noticeable that Congressman Eddy
| Is not down for a speech at the Frazee
| meeting. 1t is to be presumed that the
campaign managers are saving him for
a barbecue or something later.
United States Senator Pettigrew, of
| South Dakota, was in the city Wednes-
| day and pronounced himself very en-
| phatically in the presence Of several
| friends during his brief stay In the city.
| Senator Pettigrew is not hero wor-
| shipper, and much less has no admiration
for men who are not real heroes He is
authority for the statement that GER
| tain brigadier In the regular army, In
| command Of the colored troops at San
| Juan, stated that only seven rough rid
ers went up the hill, and Teddy was not
| one of them. Further, If any United
| States senator other than Davis or
Spooner, who are his personal friends,
| came to South Dakota for political pur-
! poses, he would challenge them to de-
! bate, and if Teddy makes his appear
ance, the pickerel statesman agrees to
| challenge him for a lariet throwing con-
! test in a eighty-rod field. against any
| cowboy. If Roosevelt wins it Will be
| Mckinley and the empire. If the cow
boy wins, Bryan and the republic.
|
| Speaking of the condition in South Da-
| kota, Senator Pettigrew expressed him
| self confident Of his reelection, but made
4 no sweeping assertions. 1t Is known,
! however, that in case there appears to
| be no chance of carrying the state for
| Bryan or the fusion candidate for gov
| ernor, every influence will be brought to
| bear to return PettigreW to the United
! States senate by trading the offices that
cannot be carried.
| An air Of expectancy prevails around
| the Republican central committee head
] quarters. The merry hum Of a few type
writer's is heard and J. S. PandiVer can
| be seen fndustriously pulling away at a
| union-made cigar, debating "hot stuff"
for the country press. This morning
every one will show up at a. M, as
| Tams Ogema Bixby will reach st. Paul
and have his trunk checked Immediately
| to the headquarters. The bank book
used two years ago will be called into
use, and the office boy sent to the bank
| to make a deposit of a few certified
| checks on Ohio exchange. With this luz
| rication the committee will Immediately
| get busy and open the preliminary cam
| paign.
| The Democratic state committee will
| doubtless decide to continue the present
headquarters at the Merchants hotel. AS
previously stated in this column, the COM
mittee meets Aug. q and will organize
and decide a number of important mat
tiers that will come before it. The eXecu-
tive committee of the Republican state
committee meets the day previous, Aug.
+ 1, and the entire committee will talk It all
over Aug. 10.
ceived a number Of offers to assist in the
field work. Among them is a letter from
Moses E.. Clapp offering to give six weeks
Of his time to missionary work in the
doubtful localities. ]. Adam Bede is on
the list of speakers that the committee
want to secure, but just at present he
is busy taking Republicans to North Da-
kota from the certain districts, and be-
lieves that he is thereby helping the
party more than by any other means He
is locating Republicans living in Southern
Minnesota to North and South Dakota,
where their votes are more needed.
8. M. Owen Is being groomed with no
little enthusiasm for the lieutenant gov
ernor nomination on the Democratic
ticket. His selection would put him in
line for the first place two years hence,
and would make one of the strongest
political combinations possible.
Baldwin's election, in the event of his
nomination as congressman by the fusion
forces Of the Sixth district. is practically
a7fared.
Morris is experiencing not little diff
Guilty in securing enough money to make
the Campaign on. Towne was so prom
inent a character that Republicans were
willing to spend almost any amount of
money to secure his defeat, but with
Baldwin the matter assumes an alto
gether different aspect, and, as the ma
tional committee will not put UP, 1t de-
wolves upon the congressional committee
to raise campaign funds locally Prom
inent Republicans in the Sixth are tired
of Morris. They have been carrying him
along for over ten years, and appreciate
that If he Is defeated this year he will
no longer have hold on the party In
the Sixth district.
At the game Of politics Albert Berg Is
an adept, but there is no reason why he
should not be, as he has nothing else to
do. When the Boer war started, instead
Of sharing the sentiments Of the mass of
his countrymen, in their sympathy for
the Beers, he came out openly for the
English. The sequel now appears In that
he is nominated for the legislature. About
half the people In his district living near
the Canadian border are Canadians. and
it may have been hopes Of catching that
vote that led to his position.
D. M. Gum, ]. H Block and w. R
Baumbach were in the city yesterday.
The Democrats of the First congress
sional district are endeavoring to center
upon the most likely man to bring out
as a candidate for congress L. /, Brown
was mentioned some time ago for the

the run, but he will not become an ac-
