An evening paper stated yesterday nat
the Democratic committee had arranged
for Webster Davis to speak tonight at
the Auditorium, following the speech of
Bourke Cochran. This is not the case.
The committee has made no change IN its
original plan to have Mr.. Davis address
the Minneapolis people at the Arnlory
building prior to Mr.. Cockran's speech
there. Mr.. Cochran speaks In the Au-
dftoriUm here early In the evening and
proceeds at once upon his completion
here to Minneapolis, where he will talk
to the same audience which Mr.. Davis
will have addressed There is every rea-
son to believe that the audiences that will
attend these meetings will be the largest
that each hall can possibly accommodate
c. d. O'Brien will introduce Mr.. Cochran
in st. Paul.
The man who goes about with money
in his pocket to bet on Van SAINT had
better not cross the path of Insurance
Commissioner O'Shaughnessy unless he
means business The story goes that Mr.
OShaughnessy has just completed lit
tie act which shows conelusively that
when he says he'll bet, he'll bet. and he
does not like to have any of those Van
SAINT wads poked in his face by fellows
who are only jesting.
James o Brien, who is somewhat sore at
the state administration for personal rea-
sons, it is said recently offered to go
$500 that Van SAINT would be- elected
This had the sound of snap to it, and
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy headed off O'Brieu
with s., Geo which he offered TO put against
the $500. The bet was not made then
'Shaughnessy is said to have gone to
Saltwater to look up the man who made
the $500 offer, but up to last reports he
had not succeeded in spying him out, and
so the bet is still 'off."
In taking a poll of the professors of
Harvard college recently it was found
that twenty-thTee out of the fifty-three
were going to vote for Mckinley. Pres
ident Charles Elliott Norton is among
those who will support Mr.. Bryan Some
few have not made up their minds Low
they will vote, but seven of this number
are for the Democratic ticket. A NUM-
Der of those who are going to vote for
Mckinley are opposed to his imperialism.

an audience at French hall last night
under the auspices of the Franco Amer
lean Registration club, a non-partisan
organization. There were other speakers.
among them Judge E. w. Bazille, County
Auditor W. r. Johnson and ]. b. A.
Paradis, who spoke in French. The
meeting was attended by about $780, Mr.
Stevens spoke chiefly on expansion.
Next Tuesday night the Democrats
will have control of the meeting under
the auspices of the same organization.
