Especial Correspondence of the GLOBE.
PENNINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE prevailing
dampness does not seem to affect the
spirits of that class of the citizens of this
town who believe in Democracy, as the re-
suit of tie Ohio election makes them all
wear smiling faces. The only man have
seen who won't enthuse is Conductor Cad
we'll on my way down. His face was as
long and sober as Charley Gilman's, and
he says it amt his turn to laugh. Guess he
is about right.
THE DILLEY FAMILY.
CIV. the Pennington jockey, stands &C.
cused before the people Of Dakota county
with having first-class chance of being a
representative from that county in our
next legislature. As the county is Demo-
cratic, and as George is popular with all
classes, and a man who can be relied upon,
and as the ticket he is nominated upon is
exceptionally good, headed by the Hon.
John F. Norrish, I am decidedly of the
opinion that G. W. is guilty, and will have
to take up his quarters at st. Paul this
winter. The other Dilley, j. F., is, 1 see,
the Democratic nominee for sengtor from
Carver county, with the largest kind Of a
chance of success. So the good work goes
on. and every day the political funeral of
Windy William, our senatorial millionaire,
draws nearer and nearer.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Business at this point wears promising
look. Two years ago the fire fend swept
the business part of this village out Of ex-
istence, and left it black, drear and desc
late. To-day it has neat, thrifty look,
fine brick blocks replacing the poorer
wooden structures which were cleaned out
by the FIRE. The Griebie block, fine
three-story structure, is the most noticeble
of them, and is an ornament to the place.
This block occupies very prominent
corner, and is occupied on the ground
floor by Mr.. @. r. Griebie with one of the
finest retail stores in Minnesota. His
stock is general merchandise, and fills to
over-fowing the large double store over
100 feet deep by so wide which he occu-
pies. Mr.. Griebie had just completed
veneering his large wooden building when
the fire came, and so fierce and rapid were
the flames that nearly his entire stock
was consumed. PhGenix-ike, how
ever, arising out of the ashes, he
opened business the next day in small
frame store which escaped, and to-day he
presides over a finer establishment than
any town of its size in the state of Mime
sofa produces. Mr.. Griebies concern is
to the town of Pennington what the firm
of Auerbach, Finch & Van Slyck is to st.
Paul. The west one-third of the ground
floor, a wing in the rear and the second
and third stories, designed by the owner,
are now occupied by p. Woodland as a
| hotel, which is called the st. Charles. 1t
has been fitted in frst-class manner from
top to bottom, and is kept in
an admirable manner. Commercial
/ man and others are no longe,
com PEELED to hurry through their business
an leave fer some other town where there
we're good hotel accommodations, and the
st. Charles is becoming decidedly popu-
! lar.
R. G. Judson, secretary State AgricuItur
al society, resides at this place, and is en-
gagged in stock farming. He has some
very fine sheep, the only ones of their kline
in Minnesota, which I can't remember thu
name of just Ut present, but he Away
speaks Of them when we meet. Farmer
are progressing finely with their fall worl
in spite of the bad weather, and appeal
we'll pleased with the result Of their sea
sons labors.
