The first Prospect of Return of Solid Repub- lican Delegation, : STATE TICKET MORE IN DOUBT Free Silver Still a Factor in North of State. FIGHT IN TWO DISTRICTS peel eres ear es Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., November 4, 1898. It seems highly probable that Minnesota will this year send back to Washington all of her seven republican congressmen. They have all been renominated, and while the result on the state tick2t may be considered doubtful, especially on the head of the ticket, close political observers agree that the conditions favor the return of a solid cong! onal delegation. ‘Th northern half of the state, however, is the uncertain factor in the problem, and the two districts into which it is divided, the sixth and the seventh, are in the throes of a hot struggle, whose issue is by no means certain. The north has be2n the hotbed of populism since that type of po- litical belief first became prominent, and there is no question that the seventh and probably the sixth as well ar2 abnormally anti-republican, when there are no distract- ing issues, and when the personal factor is eliminated. Five of the republican con- gressmen are absolutely cortain of success. ‘The other two have a sharp fight on hand. Here is a brief review of the situation in each district: The first or Winona district has been rep- resented by James A. Tawney for three terms, and fs reliably republican. It is a farming district, and is in a prosperous condition. There is little encouragement in it for the fusion forces. Mr. Tawney’s op- pcnent is Milo White, who years ago rep- res*nted the district as a republican, but who is now a silver republican. His cam- paign is merely perfunctory, and no one expects him to win. In 1896 Tawney’s plu- rality was 10,701, and this year it is ex- pected to be 9,000. Of course, the total vote will be much smaller, but allowing for th> at-home vote, and weighing the other factors carefully, {t is not believed that he will fall much short of that figure. The Mankato District. The second, or Mankato, district is an- other heavily republican district in the southern part of the state. It has few cities, but the farmers, unlike those in the north, are “dive fied farmers” and very prosperous. They are mostly American born, and are little given to populism. James T. McCleary has represented the d trict for three terms. His plurality two years ago was . and it seems likely that it will be at least 10,000 this year. His opponent is D. H. Evans of Tracy, a populist, and the campaign is so slow that all the republican managers find to worry about is that the apathy resultant from the foregone concl n feeling will affect the state ticket unfavorably. The once reliably democratic third dis- trict can now be safely placed in the re- publican column, largely through the ef- forts of Representative Heatwole. Three mes has Mr. Heatwole run for Congress. The first time he lost by a narrow margin, but the second he won by a clear majority of only 280, and in 1896 he won again by a round 6,000 plurality. He is an organizer and a worker. By exhibiting a willingness to retire from Congress and permit some one €lse to make the run this year, he re- lieved himself of the charge of office seek- ing. His opponent, Charles G. Hinds of Shako- Pee, two years ago was a good democrat and voted for McKinley and for Heatwole. Now by a sudden change in the scene he is running on a 16 to 1 Bryan platform. Moreover, fusion, which was easily and ‘omplished in all the other dis- is of the state, failed in the third dis- t, and there is a mid-road populist ca te for Congress, J. R. Lowe of Fari- t, to draw strength from Hinds. Nev- . Mr. Heatwole has no walkover, not resting on his oars. He has a large democratic following, secured by an impartial handling of the affai is district at Washington, and by his 3 to sound mon: ere are many German democrats in the district, and they are vers friendly to Heatwole. In view of all these things, and allowing for the apathy ff ye "" it seems reasonable to rd Mr. Heatwole a plurality of at ‘The St. Paul District. The fourth or St. Paul district has in re- cent years been reliably republican and no one believes that Frederick C. Stevens, who carried It by over 10,000 two years ago, will fail to carry it this time by a long lead. His opponent is Judge John W. Willis of St. Paul, a democrat of strong silver lean- ings. The voting population of the district is largely urban, including as it does the cities of St. Paul and Stiliwater. The tinan- cial agitation ¢ German democ and this yote still with the republicans. Nowhere in state was the gold democratic vote so large used the schism of a large vote atic and w nized as in this district. Mr. Stevens’ probable plurality is placed at 6,000. The fifth or Minneapolis district is the Swedish district in the state, the t of a total of 46,000, being d at 10,000, There are in addition Norwegian voles and a lar section of foreign voters of other parentage. The adoption two years ago of a constitu- tional amendment requiring as a prerequi- site to suffrage that the voter should hav become a fully naturalized citizen, that 1 have taken out his ond pape has proved a matter of great moment to the foreign-born population, a considerable per- centage of which has failed to compl naturalization. introduces a factor of great uncertainty into the campaign, and while it will work to the disadvantage of the fusion’ in the northern districts, it is expected to have some advers2 influence on the republicans in this district. ‘Phis will be mo: on the state and local tickets, however. Loren Fletcher is the publican nominee for Congress trict. His opponent is Prof. 'T. business college orator who was nominated the populists and forced upon the deimo- crats and silve their will.

It is in the sixth or Duluth di the hardest fight is in progr betwee: Judge Page Morrt nominated by the reé ict that publicans, and Charles A, Towne, the well- known silver republican leader, who de serted the republican party while represent- ing the district in Congress, and ho was thereupon defeated in his fight for re-clec- tion. Both are making a very active can- vass, and the may fairly be said 19 be in doubt. The most significant fact Is the great slump in registration in Duluth — which was a Towne st on the iron ranges, where Morri Vhis is due in part to the constitutional amend- ment already adveried to and in part to the absence of the big floating vote, which was then idle and is now at work. But the slump in Duluth so much heavier than in the iron ranges that Morris is expected to come off a gainer and his probable plu- rality is placed conservatively at 1,000, sl- though many expect a much larger figure to be reached. Morris’ connection with the securing of a $2 tariff on lumber has proved of immense benefit to him, as the large jombering industries of the district are now prosperous, where two years ago they were in bad condition. ‘Towne has admitted lobbying agains: this very measure. His insistence on the siiver issue, which is generally regarded throush- out the district as dead, has hurt him, and on the whole, his chances for suce2ss are not deemed nearly so good as they were in 1896. ‘The seventh district, comprising all the northwest quarter of the state, has long been the stronghold of populism, and Frank M. Eddy, the present representative, has held it in the republican line tor two suc- cessive elections simply by force of his genius as a campaigner, backed by his hard work at Washington in behalf of nis con- stituents.

There is no question of the election of a republican legislature, nor of the return of Cushman K. Davis to the Senate.

Graphic Story of the Abandonment of Cap- tured Crniser. Wind Was Blowing a Gale and Sen Was Running High at the Time. A dispatch to the New York Herald from Fortress Monroe yesterday says: From offi- cers of the repair ship Vulcan, which reach- ed here late last night, additional details have been learned of the foundering of the cruiser Infanta Marta Teresa 30 miles north- northwest from San Salvador, in a strong northeast gale, on last Tuesday night. En- sign James C. Summers of New York, who was officer of the deck on the Vulcan when the Teresa went down with Old Glory snap- ping from her signal yard, said tonigh “We officers and men of the Vulcan shall never forget the dramatic scene presented by that sinking ship, which w: E and the gallant rescue of her crew by the tug I.

To have at- tempted to go r enough to the great ship's side to let her people climb down or drop into the boats meant certain destrue- tion to the rescuing party. So, whi'e the boat was towed by its painter from the ship's lee quarter and was kept clear by two men at the oars and by the steersman in the stern, another line was used to send down the men from the ship. “Each man slung in the center of this rope was hauled through the waier in most cases to the boat and then tumb'ed in over the bow. It was a slow but safe prccess, as the result proved, for by 5 o'clock every man, as far as we could see, was safe on board the Merritt. “The force of the gale and height of the sea may be best understood by the fact that, although only 230 fathoms of harrser separated the Teresa from the Vulcan, the watchers on the latter vessel, owing to the heavy seas, driving rain and spray, were only able to see the boats of the rescuing party at long intervals wh2n they came Have You a Clear Understanding of What Our Offer of Credit Means?
