Sixth, have left Washington for their
homes, news having reached them Of
aHalrS demanding their attention in
their districts. The Collins people are
charged with trying to make trouble

on making trouble for Davis being G..
=. Schulz, deputy state superintendent
SchulZ's home is in st. Peter, where
Davis resides, and should it come to a.
test of popularity in the town it is said
that Davis will win out. A. F. Foster
OF Lltehfield, is campaigning through
Buekman's district, but this should give
him no anxiety, for sentiment through
the Sixth seems favorable to giving
buchanan denomination for the house.
1t seems to be pretty generally con-
ceded that Senators Nelson and Clapp
and Gov. Van SAINT will be delegates
large to the national Republican con-
Yent1on, but there is fight on between
IhomaS II. Shevlin and Thomas Lowry
for the fourth place, with G.. G.. Hartley
and George w. Somerville to hear from
Minneapolis Republicans, as usual are
much divided as between Shevlin and

appointment of so pronounced a Col
Inns man as Ewert, Donahower has
committed himself irrevocably to Col
Inns cause, and they are talking Of
retaliation when the Ramsey county
primaries are held. In some quarters
1t is held that Donahower should not
be blamed; that he probably had no
more to do with the appointment Of
Ewert than though he were not con-
nected with the attorney generals Of
fee and was not to succeed Attorney
General Douglas on April l. The ap-
pointment Of Ewert Is very generally
regarded as an administration move
in the interest of Collins, and rightly
so. Ewert has been the chief country
boomer of the st. Cloud man, and his
appointment to a position in the state
performed and an inducement to flu
ture activity.
