WHAT VAN SAINT HAS 20 SAY.
A telegram from Winona to the Dis
patch, one of the captains most valiant
supporters, says:
Winona, Mimi, Nov. M-Gov.-elect Van
SAINT will give no recognition to the prop
osition of Chairman Rosing, of the DEM
ocratic committee, for recount in eight
counties in an attempt to thwart the pop
ular will, already officially expressed.
He will welcome any proposition for a
recount of the entire state on a lawful
and orderly basis, but will not engage
in boys play nor throw dice for a stake
already his
BIXBY KICKS ON IT.
Some one spent good money in tele-
graphing the gist of the proposition to
Tams BiXby, who, it now transpires, is
in the CAPITAL city instead of being at
Muscogee. Mr.. BiXby did not show any
signs of rabies but his quoted express
sions indicate that he did not smile with
any marked effulgence when he heard
what Rosing's plan was. Mr. Bixby is
quoted in the Minneapolis Journal to
this effect:
IF / should be consulted in regard to
that proposal I should oppose it vigor-
ously. Nothing can be gained by it. If
there should be a recount and it showed
a change of Ass votes. say, in Lind's fa-
vor then many people would claim that
he had been elected 1t is just as reason
able to suppose, however, that a recount
would be favorable to Van SAINT
IF Mr.. Rosing thinks Gov. Lind has
been defrauded be has his recourse under
the law and can take the contest to the
supreme court by quo warTanto proceed
ings.
ST do not favor the recount by agree
ment between the committees.
REPUBLICANS HAVE. NOT ACTED.
No action has as yet been taken by
the executive committee of the Republi-
can state central committee, Secretary
Whitney being unable to get a quorum
together yesterday. Mr.. Masterman, he
said, was the only one he could reach
yesterday, Robert Jamison, Of Mime
apolis, not being accessible.
It is promised, however, that a meet
ing will be held tomorrow SO that the
answer can be sent to Chairman R3sing,
as he suggested, by tomorrow night, to-
morrow being the last day for the filing
of notices of appeal with the various
town and county clerks.
The Democratic state central COM
mittee will meet Tuesday at the Mer
chants hotel.
James R. Bennett Jr., of ST. Cloud one
Minnesota, was in the Capitol City yes
terday on his way TO Chicago. Mr.. Ben
nett believes as suggested in the G o b e
Saturday, that the imperative need OF
the Democratic party at present is not
reorganization, but more votes He be-
lieves that the gpartN was never better
and more thoroughly organized in it's his
tory than at the present time and feels
that the recent defeat is no indication
of 1icOroa uizpd Democracy
Mr.. Bennett. who is a close personal
friend of leaders of the Silver Repubh-
can and Populist parties, is confident that
these two organizations will soon be
merged into the Democratic party md
that their cooperation will greatly
strengthen the old party
what we want" said Mr. Bennett,
"1s one party, one platform and one
purpose, and these I firmly believe we
will have at the next national election.
Speaking of the recent election in Min
nesota Mr.. Bennett expressed the opln-
ion that there were several thousand
votes more cast for Gov. Lind than were
required to elect him, but they have been
thrown out under one pretext and an
other, some of which were valid rea-
sons, but the conditions which led to
these defections in the vote were unfair
and unscrupulOusly brought about. The
placing of Lucas, the Soctal-Democrat,
on ticket, is the principal cause of
al e mischief, in the mind of the
SteaI rs county man. In that county
alone he declared, nearly a thousand
votes have been thrown out, most OF
them because both Gov. Lind and Lu-
cas- were voted for. Mr. Bennett called
attention to the absurd idea of Gov.
Lind not carrying the county by as many
votes as Bryan and TrueisOn, which con-
dition is made to appear on the face OF
the returns the discrepancy being at
least 500 votes.
The only Republican who could be
found to favor the proposition made by
Mr.. Rosing was State Auditor r. G.
Dunn. who said he was confident that
Gov Lind would not show the necessary
gains, and Capt. Van SAINTS title to the
chair would thus be indicated
Congressman j. T. McCleary, of Man"
kato was in St. Paul yesterday, on his
way to Washington.
Congressman Fred G. Stevens has post
poned his departure for Washington I'M
til the coming week. He will probably
Ie'sse Wednesday night
Senator Knute Nelson expects to leave
for the capital tomorrow.
It is now given out that Fred M
Schultz is after Scott Jamar's job with
the railroad and warehouse commission
It has been the general belief that Fred
wanted a place under SheriH-elect Jus
tus.

the candidacy of Albert Berg for the

lief among the legislators that he hopes
