koCHEsrER, July 2S.-Rochester has re.
sumed its usual appearance. The saloons are
less crowded than they were, and people gen.
orally seem deslrous Of attending to their OWE
legitimate business. With the exception OF
the pile OF empty beer bottles about the back
doors Of the saloons and an occasional refer.
ence to some scene or incident of the conven-
ton, one unacquainted with the fact would
not imagine that a conclave OF the Republic
can grand Moguls had taken place only two
days ago. In fact now that the
object for which SO many OF
the heightened moral reform party" fought
bled but did not die, is accomplished,
they seem to half regretit. They have slain
the giant of Republicanism and remorse has
struck them.
You can't see a smiling countenance in the
whole White gang and when you begin to
draw comparisons they at once begin to have
business somewhere else.
1t has transpired that the man who wrote
Judge Bassett Of Fillmore county
that is. such is the rumor which
has become quite common upon the street,
and the general verdict Is that he ought to
have read it, Said one man, who acknowl.
edged he had intended to vote for him, "Why
on earth couldn't be have had the toothache,
bellyache, or some other excuse for not ap.
pesring before the convention to make such
an ass OF hiAself?"
When you chat the White men about the
figure their man cut they look down at the
mouth and seem disappointed about some
thing Personal honesty Mr.. White no doubt
possesses, but literary attainments or anu
degree Of forensic ability he certainly
does not. A gentleman OF come
little prominence who lives In this district, in
commenting upon the nomination, said to
me: 3 -,
"What pity to replace man like Dunnell
with SO poor and llliterate stick as White.
Why, do you know he can't write grammat-
ical or properly spelled letter to save him? /
have received several from him which, for the
credit of the Republican party since they have
made him nominee for congress, would
not like to see published perbatim."

find here. ~. -,
The Democrats are very much pleased with
the spectacle the Republican nominee made be-
fore the convention. "Zeundsi wouldn't he
cut grand figure on the floor of congress?"
heard one Democrat say to White man,
who seemed in hurry to be getting home to
dinner or somewhere else, as / came up.
'He'll have to take Eckholt or O'Brien along

The Dunnell men are, Of course. disap-
pointed at the defeat of their chieftain, but
they are certainly not ashamed Of HIM.
There are many speculations a. to what the
opposition programme will be. There is
strong talk OF giving the Democratic nomi-
nation to ex-Judge Thos. Wilson, of Winona.
provided he would acceptit, as he wonld be
sure to draw very large Republican vote as
against man like White. Then there is the
further plan, in case of Mr.. Wilson's declina.
ton, as already rumored, of calling mass
convention of free-traders and calling out
Mr.. Dunnell as a candidate, the Democr soy to
make no nomination. No one denies for q
moment the overwhelming defeat of White
under such programme. - - 80. !
1t would have a tremendously demoralizing
effect upon the high toned moral element, and
would be nuts for the Democracy. Whenever
Mr.. Dunnell has taken his case to the people
direct he has won, and If this should be the
result, some of those who protested SO loudly
in the convention that they sdid not want any
Democratic votes" might find that they did moi
corral enough Republican votes to elect their
man. ..,s;f-s
At Dodge Center find about the same feel
county delegation staid solid for Gov. Yale,
half hall who no went for White. What few
White men found here and at Kasson look as
il they had eaten something which did NOT
agree with them whenever, the subject OF
"White's appearance before the convention is
introduced. At Dodge Center one OF the dis.
gusted ones thought that if Dunnell and
White were to arrange series of joint discus.
sions on the tariff question 1t would be quite
an interesting programme. -r~~.
1t was quite refreshing to those who have
been accustomed to hear that the Democratic
party is the whisky party to witness the sights
aud scenes transacted at the depot and in The
forward car on the 1:35 p. m. westward bound
train the evening of the day OF the convention,
a Baschus bod was ss the nentro ruling ssnins
The city marshall by his gentle persuasive
powers prevented collision, but on the train
the gang tied loose. The chairman OF the
convention, still carrying the cane wi NH ich
he emphasized his Window sentiments In
making his speech of acceptance, cut the most
prominent figure. This hilarity seemed to be
contagious and both Dunnell and ants
were encouraged to drown their grief In the
flowing beer bottle, a Gaze OF which was pro
vided for the occasion. The Dunnell men oil
course had the sorrow of disappointed am.
bition.to drown, while the ants the chagrin
and modification they felt at the sorry figure
their man cut. et zlr.c 90
They (the antis) were by virtue of their
successes made masters of ceremonies,
and the way the way they dispensed the con
tents of that case of beer was q caution. Dun
nell, ants, Democrats and even gentle womeI
were alike compelled to partake. 1t was a re
freshing sight, and one long to be remembered
enacted as 1t was by the great moral reform
high toned temperance Republican party. 81
At Kasson and Dodge Center
both heard a vast ;dea
of talk about the delegate from that county
who nominated Gov. Yale and then went bach
on him on the first formal ballot. He is 9
candidate for either the state senate or house
senate preferred-but judging from what ]
hear he will fail of becoming anything but 9
candidate. Dodge county has one senator ant
one representative under the new apportion-
ment, and has only about 500 majority, sc
that the calling and election Of Republican
candidates is by no means sure in this off yea
ard with present complications.
