THE MINNESOTA MIDDLE.
New Candidate by the Name Of sabin in
the Field for Senatorial Honors.
st. Paul Pioneer-Press, 22d.
Yesterday the Sabin talk took to itself
appreciable substance, and the name of
the indispssed representative was on
mems tongues more frequently than any
other. It transpired that Sabin himself
was toying with the matter and was
willing to "see man" in his room; had
seen several, in fact, with whom he re.
mained in closet confab. If any desired
to interview him his indisposition was
an admirable excuse for declining, Mr..
Ssbin has been very sick. There are
those who say to the contrary, but thev
are wrong, Drs. Millard, Hollister and
others, who could not have any valid
reason for misrepresentation, express
themselves as having been seriously
alarmed ct his condition a week ago.
He was able to come down to dinner at
the Metropolitan yesterday, but showed
plainly that he had been seriously ill.
The quiet talks which have resulted in
this booming Of his name were COM
menced in good earnest Friday, kept up
with increasing fervor Saturday, and
yesterday became openly noticeable.
II any member supposed to be favorably
inclined to Mr.. Sabin was desirous OF
visiting him 9 carriage was at his dis
posal to take him to the Metropolitan.
In the hotel corridors, after the
question, "Has Window come 2"
had been answered negatively.
the invarible inquiry which followed
was, "What do you think of the Sabin
talk" No one will acknowledge him
self az leading the movement, but Sena-
tor A. E. Rice seems to be prominent as
any. Two or three days ago he said he
would not be surprised if man whose
name had not even been mentioned in
the ballotings carried OF the senatorial
prize, and although he did not acknowl-
edge that he referred to Sabin, it was
fully believed that he was the gentleman
meant.
Senator Comstock is one of MIR. Win.
dom's most stalwart supporters. Asked
as to what he thought of the Sabin
movement, he said be did not believe it
would materialize in to-day's ballotings,
nor that appreciable change in the vote
would be recorded until the latter part
Of the week, after Mr.. Window had been
Lere some days. There were number
of members who would stick to Window
as long as he was q candidate. After
that it might be different. He had al.
ways understood that Sabin was not a
candidate. had positively asserted as
much, and was an open and ardent friend
OF Senator Window. The democrats, he
presumed, could start hurrah for
Sabin, but that would hurt him more
than help.
Senator Compton had heard the Sabin
matter talked Of, but as coming entirely
from the opposition. He didn't believe
to-day would show any change in the
results.
Representative Rahilly claimed that be
didn't know anything about the matter
beyond having heard. it talked about
pretty generally. He believed the demo

Personally he was warm friend of t5abin
had served with him several legislative
terms. and held him in high esteem. He
would not say that he would vote fol
him, but thought number of democrats
would.
Ex-senator Campbell had heard
Ssbln's name mentioned everywhere, and
understood that many members who had
hitherto voted for Window would gladly
give Sabin their support. From the
ranks of the opposition, the democrats
and the Windomites, he understood there
were expressions of belief that he would
be q strong man if he entered the field.
Lieut.. Gov. Gilman is reported as hav
ing expressed himself as favorable to
Senator Goodrich had heard the mat.
tor talked of . good deal, and understood
that Mr.. Sabin was making q strong
personal canvass. He was Of the opin.
ion that nothing definite would be de.
+cided upon until after next Wednesday,
though he would not be surprised If Sa.
bin got some votes to-day. He had been
informed that Sabin's supporters came
from all quarters, and that Senator Rice
was active in the cause, but he didn't
really know who the leaders were. In
any event, he was of the opinion that
Sabin could not be elected.
Senator Crosby said the opposition
didn't propose to make any change of
tactics until after Window had been here
q few days and had had chance to
"blow his own horn" Then il he was
elected (sarcastically) all right; and If
not oil right. He had heard the Sabin
matter talked Of, but only in q general
way. Personally he wasn't posted.
Senator Blake said he'd heard a great
deal Of talk about Sabin, but didn't
know what it amounted to. He was non.
committal. as usual, as to his own opin.
ions and intentions.
Henry Chadbourne. the banker Of
Rochester, aald he believed the scheme
was to work up one Of the biggest rings
the state had ever known, but he fel,
pretty sure it wouldn't work. He didn't
for . moment believe that Sabin couli
come anywhere near being elected, anC
vas firmly convinced of Windom's ulti
mate success. In regard to Senator
Morrison's course. Mr.. Chadbourne thu
expressed himself:
Morrison was elected on Windon
