THE political campo ign in Mipnnesota this
fall hin ges upon the contest for the United
States Senate. Mr.. Window g6esiers to sue
coed himself and Mr.. Washburn desires to
succeed Senator Mcmillan. To this end Win
dom has succeeded in putting Milo White in
the field in the First district. Washburn is
on the track himself in the Fourth district
and is also conducting the Nelson campaign
10 the Fifth. Washburn's elevation means
the restoration Of the old Ramsey camp fol-
lowers to power. They have been temper
arily displaced by Senator Mcmillan and Gov.
Hubbard. but they are plotting for revenge
and those gentlemen are marked for their vic
Tins. Those Republicans who desire to
strengthen the Washburn-W Window dynasty
will aid in electing White, Washburn and
Nelson. Democrats who desire to accomplish
the came end can afford material aid by dis
playing excessive party zeal in behalf of
straight, moss-back tickets. 1t is a neat
political game which works the machine
inside of both political parties, to accomplish
the same end.

Studdart's Affairs.

Proceedings under the insolvent act were
commenced few days since in the Twelfth
judicial district by certain creditors of st. Paul,
to subject the property OF 1. F. A. Studdart to
distribution under the provisions of that act
The subject matter of the petition is to be
heard before Judge Brown,at Willmar, on the
first of August next. 1t is alleged in the pc
tition that by the mortgages executed the
18th and 27th by Studdart and wife, and by
the deed of Studdart on the 3Oth of May last,
studdart being insolvent, disposed of and en-
numbered his property with the purpose of
giving preferences to the grantees named In
the instrument, contrary to the provisions of
the law of March 18th, 1881. 1t is also stated
in the same petition that Mrs. Aherp, having
commenced a suit and attached the property
of Studdart in aid of a recovery of 81, 900. and
the said Studdart, having neglected for more
than ten days to move for the dissolution of
said attachment, his estate is subject to the
provisions of the bankrupt law, under which
the property can be taken possession of, placed
in the hands of receiver, and dis tributed to
all the creditors, pro rata.

A Marriage in Court.

The mOnotonous stream of DRINKS and
disorderlies which winds its weary length
around the judicial tripod of the municipal
court-iike clammy serpent about the toes
OF circus amazon-was pleasantly broken
yesterday morning by an hymn eneal act that
was not down on the docket. The case of
M ,ses M Richards, alias Moses Bell, alias
John Scott, continued from yesterday, came
up in regular order, and seemed to promise
little good for Moses. Catherine Maher, upon
whose complaint Moses had been
court, from the city hospital, and there were
divers police officers in the background who
looked like a perfect cloud of witnesses.
Whenever Moses would look over at Cath
crime, she would be gazing at him with her
great mournful eyes which seemed to follow
him and lash him with their long lashes
where'er he might chance to stray. Catherine
was weak and helpless, and with her child was
an occupant of the city hospital and burden
upon the Taxpayers. Moses was well and
strong, and earning good moaey in the
Manitoba machine shops. Why not marry
Catherine? Her parents were both in
England and would not oppose it. Officer
Lynch wouldn't throw any obstacle in the
way, neither would the city attorney, or the
county attorney for that matter. The clerk
of the court would give the bride away, If he
were asked to do SO. Richards resolved to
make the swoman Mrs, Richards. A license
was procured, the couple clasped hands and
stood up, and Judge Burr soon made them no
longer twain. A marriage certificate was
filled out and given to the woman, who was
glad to have gained a father for
her child and the documents TO
show for it. No one offered
to kiss the bride, who trembled and flushed
while the ceremony was gong on, and then
turned pale and sank into o chair. There was
no honeymoon or marriage tour in sight for
the bride. Richards Immediately went away
saying that he was going to work and would
see Catherine later in the day. He promised
to give her part of his wages at night.
Catherine says that Richards mother is a rich
woman, living in Prairie du Chen, and that
Richards had better take good care of his little
wife if he doesn't want her to pay visit to
her mother-in law,

THE Window organs are alarmed over the
proposition to give Mr.. DunneIl clear field
against White, and are shouting that he ought
not to do this, because he submitted his claims
to the Rochester convention. He did nothing
of the kind. Mr.. Dunnell's name was not pre-
sented. and he was never, ct any time,
candidate before that convention. Mr.. Dunnell
does not recognize collection of hired strik-
ers for Window as political convention nd
when he found that was to be the nature of
the Rochester assemblys he promptly notified
his friends that his name must not be pre-
scented. There is neither personal or political
honor which requires him to decline to take
the field as an independent candidate.

ABOUT the most nousensical political idea
evolved by the lunkheads who know nothing
about politics or anything else, is the sug-
gestion that Mr.. Dunnell will run for the
State Senate in order to be on the inside when
Billy Window comes up for reelection. These
Window strikers apparently imagine that the
nomination OF White closes Mr.. Dunnell's
term in congress. 1t happens, however, that
Mr.. Dunnell's term Of office extends until next
March, and Mr.. WINDOWS successor will be
named while Mr.. Dunneil is yet in congress.
II Mr.. Dunnell is given clear field against
White, his congressional career may continue
after Mr.. Windo n has retired entirely from
public life.

This frank announcement of the Washburn.
Nelson organ at Minneapolis ought to satisfy
