NO BARREL" The following from the

The 500 road will he expected to make UP
to the republican state. campaign fund for
what may not be got from Jim Hill; Mr. Hill
will probably be generous, and see that repub-
lican Candidates for congress and the legisla-
ture2 are helped Kalt, - : 's<rS. ~. ~ -
/ Whatever may, have been expected Of the
500 road, it's powers have kept absolutely
silent. and there T. ne indication that they
have any sympathy br will extend any sup
port to the state administration in its fight.
The governor is absolutely alone as far as
railroad support is concerned, though the
rank and file of railroad men are with him.
From all indications the republican state
committee will have to conduct poverty
campaign this year Not only will railroad
contributions be lacking, but many of the
business men who have in times past been
the heaviest contributors were mortally Of
Tended when Governor Van SAINT called the
extra session. They are determined to- pre-
vent tax revision, and look on the governor
as their enemy in this respect. They have al
ready signiied that no support can be ex-
pected from them for the state ticket in a
financial way. E-*s%~- !
The appeal will be made to the people, and
there Is every reason that they are ready to
respond, anu lIldI du expensive CdAlpdi6A Will

H., P. HALL WILL Democrats will not
lack candidate for
RELIEVE LIND. governor If John
Lind does not an
ncunce his candidacy before their state con-
vention meets, H. P. Hall Of: St. Paul will
ask the convention to nominate him. Clerk
ship of the supreme court has no attractions
~ A,
He said yesterday: ~. =
I realize that democrats throughout the
state are now turning to John Lind as the
savior of the democratic party, and want to
nominate him; 1tbelieve Lind could win if
nominated. He is a strong man and / would
like to see him run. But he has said that he
would not be a candidate, and it must be as
there is any man living who can say that Mr.
Lind has told him he would accept the nomi-
nation. S..
If at any time before the convention meets,
MIR. Lind Will say that he will accept the
nomination, | am oNt5 5of it. II am not a candi-
date against LIND. If he does not do this.
am Al IN the rass: e. | knew the democrats d; expect
the nomination, but they do not know that he
will do so. If he Will not run, they must get
some other man, sand want to be that man.
I will accept the nomination as soon as they
can find me. r. Z, - - r.
I am vain enough to believe that / can be
elected. i believe thatI am as strong man
as Mr.. Lind. am well known throughout
the state. ! have many friends among the
country editors. If nominated, would go on
the stump Immediately, and make speeches in
as many. localities as / could reach in the
days and nights between now and election. I
would conduct the boldest and brassiest cam
paign that has ever been seen in this or any
other state, and5I believe it would win. I
woulG offend some democrats, perhaps, but 1
would win many republican votes. y
My name has been mentioned in connection
with the nomination for clerk Of the supreme
court, and has received favorable mention
throughout the state. j believe 1 could get
the nomination. it wanted 1t. but u do not
know that / want to accept. Rfd can get
the votes at the tail of the ticket I can get
them at the head of the ticket. II I can be
elected clerk of the supreme court, can be
elected governor.
