Democrats Will Name a Man.
The latest developments in the third dis
trict are published letter from Congress-
man Heatwole, confirming Th e our
n al s announcement of his withdrawal, the
entry. Of Frank Wilson Of Red Wing as the
fifth candidate, and a democratic conference
for the purpose of selecting a candidate.
The democrats met at the Merchants hotel
in st. Paul yesterday. All the counties were
represented but Nicolet, and an adjournment
was taken without making a decision. An
other meeting, will be held next week, at
which Nicollet, will have a representative.
Senator John a. johnson of St. Peter can
have the nomination if he wants it, but it
is understood his friends want him to run
for the. senate, and he inclines that way.
Sentiment yesterday favored R. H. McClel-
land OF Glencoe; and he Is likely to be the
choice. - =. - ,' ..:t;..s... : r-s,. -t

Frank M" Wilson of Red Wing filed yes
terday as republican candidate for congress
He is the fifth entry, and the second from
Red Wing. The other candidates are A. Fl
Reed of Glencoe, p W. Morrison Of Chaska
Gideon IS. Ives of st. Peter, and DR.. A.. w
Jones of Red Wing. Added to this is a strong
probability that E., A. Whitford of Hastings
will move to reconsider his previous deter
mination.- There are three weeks yet fo1
filing, and at the present rate the third will
be- we'll supplied with candidates.. -:
Some absurd tommy rot has gone the rounds
to the effect that G. S. Ives is the admins
tration Candidate put in the field to wrest
the third district from Heatwole. Governor
Van SAINT did not speak with Mr.. Ives, OF
| know he was a candidate until he had filed
He has nothing to gain. and everything tc
| lose by mixing in local contests, and such
lsreports are ""nigger 'chasers" thrown out by
the opposition to foster local! feeling against
the head Of the ticket. s. ~ s.

all that eau to aid in keeping the distric

L AS; announced in T h e. J our nal las
|:evening, Senator Peter McGoyern of Wasec
I has relieved the tension in the first eistric
by announcing that he will stand for tn
! democratic nomination This comes wit
s especial grace, just after second and posi-
tive refusal by L" L.. Brown of Winona. Sen
ator McGovern is highly respected and popu
lar, had a good record in the" last legsla
ture, and was chairman of the democrati
state convention in June. He stronger, tha
his party in his own county, and will nc
be disgraced by the vote he will receive
though it Is hardly hoped to elect him.
