club, in Baltimore, McGraw, with Presi-
dent Peterson, of the new baseball club
he had organized in Baltimore, started
for Chicago to attend the meeting of the
new associa ton. Hanlon and Wonder
horst sent for McGraw and Robinson,
who said they did not want to play i'll,
or be connected with the new associa ton,
If they could make satisfactory arrange
ments with Hanlon and Vonderhorst.
Finally they submitted this proposition
Robinson was to get S., 200 and if he was
released or transferred to another club
in the league, $500 extra. McGraw was
to get $1,000 salary, and S. 500 in case OF
release or transfer. This proposition was
made to Mr. Hanlon Mr.. Vonderhorst
would not accept the terms, but suggest
ed that the National league might be in
duced to stand by them and share their
loss. Mr.. Robinson says he telegra phed
to the other members of the league ard
they said they would stand by the J}aIti-
more club contracts as they were then
signed with McGraw and Robinson and
McGraw went to Chicago to break up the
new league, but failed.
The st. Louis baseball club last summer
purchased the release of McGraw, Robin
sand and Keister, paying SIG, $50 for the
same. In addition to this the st. Louis
club had to pay and did pay McGraws
salary for the season of 1900, So, 900 and
Robinson's salary of $500. The St Louis
club also. had to assume and pay and
did pay to McGraw and Robinson the
$500 on account of his release and the
sum Of $3.50 to Robinson on account OF
his release and the ST. Louis club also
paid to Robinson and .McGraw the sum
of $500 additional to pay for a mans serv-
Ice for running their saloon While they
were away during the baseball season of
1900.
In the above amount of SIG, $50, Keister's
release was figured at $500, so that the
balance of $14.25O was paid for the re-
lease of McGraw and Robinson and the
sum of $22.75O was paid by the St Louis
club for the release and salaries of Nc
Graw and Robinson.

St. Paul NAN IN FAVOR
EN- THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINAL
TION TO SUCCEED DAVIS
OWEN MAY BE CoMPLIMENTED
1t Is Expected That He VIII Get the
Handful of votes Represent
ing the Peoples
Party.

While the Democratic members of the
state legislature have not gathered, in
force, to declare their preferences on the
question of the succession to the late
Senator Davis, the leaders of the party
have canvassed the situation pretty thor
oughly and two things seem to repre-
sent accurately the sentiment of the
Democratic party.
One of these is that in this Session, the
Democrats should line UP by themselves,
permitting the Peoples party members
and senators to do the same.
And the Democrats have decided,
further, that whatever the Republicans
may conclude to do about honoring a
Minneapolis man. or man from the out
lying portions of the state the Democ-
racy will tender its complimentary vote,
on the first joint ballot at least, to a.
representative of the st. Paul Democracy
in the person of DIR. Rudolph Schiffman,
the city, is at present the head of its
joint council, and who was honored by
the last state convention with the place
of honor on the electoral ticket for the
state.
Wha may develop later in the senator
ial contest. if the deadlock in the Re-
publican ranks is of any duration, will be
left until that time, but the Democratic
legislators are convinced that they have
an opportunity to make themselves felt
in the coming contest, and they propose
to stand together.
What may develop later in the senator
tation in the legislature will favor is not
determined. Some of them have urged
on the Democrats the adVisability of in
dorsing Charles A Towne, but this has
not met with great favor, and it is prob
able that the Populists will indorse Sid
ney M. Owen, who is perhaps the most
poular, as we'll as one of the ablest, men
in their ranks.
The Democrats do not feel under spec
ial obligations to Towne at this time for
number of reasons In the first place
he is not a Democrat, and the fact that
he was honored bye them or a large
number of them two years ago, with
similar compliment, was one of the most
Torceful arguments urged by his friends
on Gov. Lind in making the ad interim
appointment at the odeath of Senator
Davis. Consequently, the Democrats
figure that they have done all that can
be consistently expected of them by Mr..
Towne and his friends, especially in view
OF the fact that Ramsey, at the last
election. demonstrated itself to be one
of the banner Democratic counties of the
state, so far as its legislative battalion
is concerned. This fact, with the further
feeling not confined to Democrats that
st. Paul has somes claim on the senator
ship, has acted to inspire the Democrats
with the purpose which is outlined above
