guard against the average politician, and he is
wise in so doing.
The spacious corridors of the Merchants We're
never more densely crowded than yesterday
afternoon and evening. The Republican pol
iticians were out in force, and were red hot at
that. A stream of water thrown into the CORR
dor would have sizzled. OF course the GLOBE

effort of the Wakefield men seemed
to be to make Il concentration sufficiently
strong to overthrow Pillsbury with some one
To this end they proposed to unite on Hubbard
or Cole. The crowd did not take kindly to
Cole. He is about as warm blooded snake
and no enthusiasm was manifested in his be-
half while the Hubbard boom got quite a
ground swell from the prospective com bination.
The Hubbard wave was not encouraging to
either Wakefield or Pillsbury, but
it received a backset when it was found that
the Hubbard boom could not agree upon the
remainder of the ticket. good many Wake
field men showed signs of weakening by profess
ing desire to 60 for some one who could beat
Pillsbury.
THE GALAXY
The crowd present formed galaxy rarely
seen in Minnesota. Gov. Pillshury mself
was in the hotel corridors conducting his cam
paign in person. He was assisted by Fletcher,
by Charley Pillsbury, by Wait, Mcclure and
Clark, of Stearns. by Capt Blakely, by Lang
don, Doc. Keith, Geo. Moore, etc.
There was McKinstry and Clement having
charge of the Cole boom. which didn't boom
very much.
For the Hubbard boom the general was here
in person. Jennison, Gov. Davis and a good
many other active men were working at the
Hubbard boom with vignr, though no particu-
lar show for success.
Inc WOOupecker or the pralrloS
lBillsOn) was roaming about, discOnsOlate az it
were, and learning by bitter experience that
there is good deal of lying in politics.
The other bOoms, not excepting Castles,
were running very quietly, with no expectation
of accomplishing anything.
VIEWS OF PEOPLE.
1t really amusing to the different
views presented.
"We got EN-" shouted Jennison, in the en-
thusiasm of the moment "Who is we," was
modestly asked. but this query closed Jenni-
sons mouth and he became AZ dumb as m oys-
ter.
How does Chisago county stand?" was asked
of Frank Pratt. Anything to beat Pillsbury.
l am one of the delegates and am for Bill
son, and think the other two are for Wake
field"
How does the Freeborn county delegation
stand on governor" was the query placed be-
fore the Hon. Tom Armstrong, of Albert Lea
They are for Charley (Kittleson), and guess
will trade on governor where they can get the
most votes.'
II don't rely on the Pioneer Press figures,
and don't believe Pilsbury will be nominated, y
was the remark of Jared Benson, of Anoka.
II think Wakefield and Pillsbury will not
be more than four five votes apart at the
outset, - was Clark Thompson's view.
We've got Gilman beaten sure" was tho
JupiAhuG cApicnaAou VI W. CluTk, OF e..
Cloud.
1T takes 100 votes. and our man (Pillsbury)
will have lis on the first ballot" was the dec
laration of Doc Keith, who lately sold saliva
ton at Lake Park fol- 25 cents per head.
IF we can rely on promises Pillsbury will
have $50 vOtes,' was the estimate of his
nephew, Charley Pillsbury. He added: IF all
the candidates have as many votes as they
claim there will be 300 in the convention
Wakefield has got it, sure" was the ejacu-
lation of Chamb BERLIN the sage who edits the
Jackson Republic.
Benton county ia for Gilman" was the
pronunciamento of Bill Nieman, the sole dele.
gate from that county.
One delegate declared that it was gross in
sult to the party for Ramsey county to send
Joe Wheelock to the convention. HE is not a
Republican, and | propose to call on him to
state in the convention whether he proposes to
support the nominee"
lyon can say in the GLOBE in the morning
that kittleson is not candidate for Secretary
OF State and under no circumstances will he
take it, even If unanimously rendered him.
He Is candidate for State Treasurer only, and
propose to have it," These words of instruc-
ton and wisdom fell from the lips of W. w,
Williams of the Albert Lea Standard.
THROWING PFAENDER OVER.
The Pilsbury gang are ready to resort to
anything to win. They accordingly threw
kittleson for treasurer. Then they tried to
undo it and get Kittleson to accept the posi-
ton of secretary Of state, but he absolutely
declined. In order to make it more binding,
kittleson got a caucus of his countrymen, and
they demanded the treasuryship in the name of
Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Then jacobson.
who wants to DO secretary of state, began to
arise and kick, and he proposes to kick all day
to-day, and demand, in the name of all the
Scandinavians together with the Hottentots,
that he be secretary of state.
MISCELLANEOUS BUDGET.
knute Nelson didn't know anything about
the Governorship, but Douglas county was for
him (Knute) for lieutenant governor.
Gen Edgerton thought he sas the second
choice of Dodge county for Governor and that
Pillsbury was the first. He thought Dodge
county would vote for Pillsbury first.
Wakefield was more dignifcd than Pillsbury
during the evening, at least and kept in his
headquarters at No. 8, while his competitors
roamed the corridors. All of the ether can
didates, save Wakefield, were visible to the
naked eye. With the sunrise the fight will be
renewed. but as Pllsbury swag was actively at
success are favorable, at least.
If the various candidates could agree on any
head they could defeat him, but the nomination
of Cole would mean the defeat of one crowd
for the minor offices. The nomination of Hub.
bard would mean the defeat of another crowd
for the minor Offices. Hence, the two crowds
can hardly be expected to unite. Hence, also
they can hardly expect to win.
As it il very rare that there is such collec,
ton of politicians in the city, we give the
names of all of the Minnesota arrivals yester
day, showing who have come up to the conven
ton.
