Change OF Landlords.

The well-known and popular "Man-
kato House." of this city, has changed
hands. Mr.. H. NJ. Hamilton lately of
the banking firm Of Lewis, Shaubut &
Hamilton in this city, buys the furni-
turc and leases the property Of Mr.. Burt
fer term of five years, az a rental of
81 800 year. Possession will be given
as soon as an appraisal of the furniture
is made. Mr.. Burt retains the three
store rooms in the new block. Mr..
Burt has for many years been identified
with the interests of Mankato and his
fame as hotel keeper is known far and
wide. No doubt his successor, who is
in the very prime of life, will omit no
effort to maintain the credit of the
House, in which he will he greatly
aided by the large additional rooms, all
of which we understand will be furnish
ed in manner to satisfy the demands
Of the travelling public as well as those
Of permanent guests. While it will
seem a little odd to miss the familiar
countenance of G. G. Burt, Esq, from
the Mankato House, we think Mr..
Hamilton will bridge over the change
without ripple of discomfort either
from patrons of the house or leungers
who only drop in to read the papers and
examine the daily arrivals from abroad.

A Suggestion.

st. Paul has its Minnetonka, Mime
apolis its Minnehaha, and why shouldn't
MaLkato have its Minneops? That's
the question! And our suggestion is,
why not form joint stock association
and make the beautiful Minneopa Falls
pleasure resort for our own people
and all who choose to come. The won
der is that the project has not been
thought Of before. Only five miles
from the city, within half an hours
drive by teaA and fifteen minutes ride
by rail, is one of the most beautiful
natural resorts in the whole State, and
one which could be made doubly
beautiful by u mixture of the artificial
with the natural. This may be little
out of the season talking about summer
resorts, when wood is 81 a cord, but if
such a project is feasible and any
movement is made toward carrying il
into operation, then it should be agita.
ted so that work could be commenced
in early spring. We hope the subject
is of sufficient importance to engage the
attention of others.

Haveriy's New Mastodon Minstrsls.

Havcrly's New Mastodon Minstrels
comprises over forty people, all promi-
nent in the profession. Comedians,
musicians and minstrel talent of all
descriptions, who were skeptical of Mr..
Haverly's first venture, now enlist freely
under his standard, and both in num-
Der and merit the new company far
eclipses all previous efforts. The more
popular and prominent features of
minstrelsy are retained, but in the main,
Mr. Haverly's motto, "everything new"
is carried out. Even the scenery is new
and carried with them. The unusual
amount of instrumental and vocal talent
this season gives Mr.. Haverly the
opportunity to encourage the musical
element, and the entertainment will
partake of semi-operatic character, as
amusing and interesting as it is elevat.

The ElectiOn.

The official count of the recent cleo
ton will not he consummated for several
DAYS, but we can approximate the
general result close enough to form an
idea of who is elected, and the official
Canvass will not change our figures very
materially one way or the other.
There was only about two-thirds vote
in the county owing to bad roads and
impossible streams, and the returns
came struggling in without any re-
ference 10 the distance; those towns
being the nearest reporting last and
slice gersa. The city and county both
gave the Republican State ticket good
majority, as well as Vanderburg for
Judge over Clark. The county ticket
was most numerically scratched, and
there were Il great many split tickets
voted, evidently showing that many
voters considered this an off year and
they would he as far off as possible.
The Republicans have positively elected
Durkee, Clerk Of Court Jones, Treas
urer Dean and Reese Commissioners,
while the exceeding closeness of
Monks for Sheriff and Matthews for
Register, will require the official count
to determine, but the best judges say
both are elected by small maiorities,
while many Democrats concede Monks
election. If it had not been for the
perfidy of certain Republicans in this
city, the whole Republican ticket would
have had from 200 to 400 majority.
The whole fight was Oh Sheriff, Clerk Of
Court and Register. Wherever vote
could be changed against Durkee,
Monks and Matthews, it was done by
either fair means or foul. The Repub-
licans who stood firmly and honestly by
the party nominees can well cOngratu.
late themselves upon the result. The
table we submit although not authentic
in every particular, is sufficiently so to
base an idea upon the general result
As soon as the official vote S canvassed
we will publish it.
Since writing the above, the towns Of
Medic and Ceresco have been heard from
the former giving Monks, for Sheriff
Is majority, and the latter town being
about equally divided between him anc
Kelly.
