no part In the meeting. and as result we
were abie to come to q very satisfactory
arrangement. The convention will be
called for May 9 at Sioux Falls Indian
apolis made bid for the meeting, but
while Sioux Falls Is a little out of the
way, we will be among friends, and at
Indianapolis we would be right in Mark
Hanna's bailiwick. The meeting place
was satisfactory all around, and very
large representation Is looked for. Texas
has already elected. rdelegates and will
head the list with 121 votes.
There Is no question but that Bryan
will receive the party nomination. The
compact made withe the Smidroaders to
hold our convention one, month In ad-
vance of the other parties will have no
effect upon the party selections. The
mid-roaders hoped that in this way they
might be able to defeat Bryan for the
nomination. There Is, however strong
Bryan sentiment. and no man has been
talked Of, except Judge Caldwell. of Lit
tie Rock, who will probably be named for
the vice presidency. The mid-roaders
were entirely out of favor. The first
move the committee made was to dis
qualify several Republicans who bore
mid-roader proxies. This having been
accomplished at the outset general ami
cable feeling prevailed during the ses>
sion that followed.
There was feeling at the meeting
that the future held much for the party.
and as for Nebraska the party is stronger
there today than ever

The Democratic county organization is
in shape to do good work during the
coming campaign. Most of the vacan-
cies in the precinct organization caused
by changes of residence or other causes
have been filled and the organization
is now in touch with every precinct in
ST. Paul 1t is the hope Of the organization
that it will be ratified and recognized by
the coming city convention: but if the
convention refuses to place the handling
Of its campaign In the hands of the or
ganization 1t will work independently to
accomplish the aim of the convention
which is to elect the ticket named.
The question of the date for the Demo-
cratic convention has not yet been deter
man Bell is understood to be In favor
Of holding it the Saturday following
the Thursday on which the Republicans
have set for the date of their convention.
It has always been felt that there was NO
little advantage in being the last to put
up the ticket, and the Democrats this
spring are on the lookout for every lit
tie advantage, including that for holding
the edge on the convention. For that
reason it will probably be set for March
81. and the primaries the night before.
This, however, is not official In any
way.

publican argument that "a good officer
should be given a second term is fol-
lowed it will be easy for Gov. Lind.
Window Reporter: There is more sig
nificance in Van SAINTS candidacy for
governor than leading men are willing to
admit. 1t Is significant of something
when such men as Heatwole, Evans,
Ciapp, McGill and dozen others who
can easily be named and who would like
to be governor of this state, do not an
nounce their candidacy for the nomina-
ton against Van SAINT There is sig

Dodge County Republican: G. H. Hol-
den. Of Duluth. has announced himself as
q candidate. subject to the action Of the
Republican state convention, as one Of
the railroad and warehouse commission
ers, the legislature having enacted that
these officers shall be elected by the peo-
pie. Mr.. Holden has been actively~con-
nected with the bushes for over ten
years, and as Duluth handles about half
the grain reaching Minnesota terminal
points, 1t would seem. matter of jus
tice Duluth was entitled to recognizance
to one OF the three commissioners.
