BREWING
IN COUNTY RANKS
OUTSIDERS SUSPICIOUS OF MEN
WHO CALLED MEETING.
County Organization Also Favors Un-
instructed Delegation, but Fears a
Plot-Block Men Also Hostile-Sto-
ries Of Deep-Laid Scheme Denied by
Callers Of Meeting.

The factions are beginning to appear
publicans, and they may show their
heads at the meeting called for Morgan
post hall tomorrow evening. The fac
tions are not divided along the lines
Of the DUMB Collins fight of two years
ago, but roughly speaking, they rep
resent the Getty hall crowd" and the
county committee. -
night has an uninstructed delegation
for its object. 1t is claimed, however,
that the meeting has been planned by
the city hall adherents, and that they
have a deep-laid scheme behind it.
According to the county committee side
Of the case, the program Of those who
called the meeting is to elect John III.
Steele chairman Of the county, conven--
tion, give the, appointment Of all the
delegates to him, and secure a. delega-
tion which, tho uninstructed, will stand
for G. F. Staples for governor. If
they can nominate Staples, then Frank
Lydiard is to be presented as candi-
date for the railroad commission. The
program, according to this story, also
calsl for overturning the old methods
Of selecting the county committee, and
chairman Of the convention.
There is no unity as yet among the
"other fellows The members Of the
county committee all talk in favor of
an uninstructed delegation, and few Of
them are working for any particular
| candidate: They want harmony. and
such is the announced object Of the
meeting tomorrow evening There are
also, however, the members Of the
Block organization. They are, suspi-
cious Of the people behind the call for
the meeting. They are also talking un-
instructed delegation, but want all the
Blick men on it they can elect.
There may be stormy time at the
| meeting, which it is thought will be
largely attended. Those who are re-
sponsible for the meeting deny any ul-
terror motives, and say they only want
to insure an unpledged delegation. If
there is general expression of opin-
ion at the meeting, it will probably ie-
suit in better understanding.
The call is already out for selection
| Of precinct committees in the usual
way, and there is little sentiment for a
change in the "pyramid plan' of con-
| structing ward and county committees
| AS for selecting the delegates to the
| state convention, the consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that they ought to be
| divided among the wards and country
towns, and each division elect it's own
The convention will probably decide tc
adopt the unit rule for the delegation
so 1t will vote solidly and cast some in
/ f1uence in the state convention. All
these matters will be up for discussion
at the meeting Thursday evening. '''

GARFIELD CLUB MEETS

Perfect organization was the key
note of a large and enthusiastically
harmonious meeting Of the Garfield Re
publican club in Morgan post hall last
night. The club constitution was
amended so as to provide for stand
ing committee to be known as the
board Of chairmen, composed Of mem
bers from each ward and one from
each of the four country townships.
The boards duties are varied, but the
principal purpose is to- strengthen. the
it is now weak and to create more
efficient force Of political workers.
Twelve new members were admitted
last night. There was some talk on
the subject of Hennepin county's best
course In sending delegation to the
state convention, but final decision was
postponed to the next meeting.

Three Pensions for Veteran.

Considering the large number of
special bills which are run through.
during the last few days OF every ses-
sion of Congress, IL is remarkable that
so very few mistakes are made I'D
to the year 1883 the engrossed parch-
ment bills which were signed by the
President were written by the various
clerks Of the Capitol, and mistakes
were more likely TO occur than in the
present day, when they are printed
one time, for instance, during the
closing days Of Congress, three clerks
were given the same private pension
bill to engrOss. and the President
signed all three copies. They all went
TO the Secretary of State The un-
fortunate part of the affair was that
the poor old soldier, IN spite Of the
fact that he had been granted a pen
sion three times, was not allowed TO
draw more than one.

however. are most frequently in the
way of omissions. rather than inser-
tiOns- In the general deficiency bill,
