After Tilden's declination the Minnesota
delegation to Chicago were all at sea in
regard to their preferences for candidates.
Madam Grundy says Dick Jones was for
Slocum. Anyway he wrote to certain par
ties to that effect. Wise was not Cleve-
land man. Campbell was for, and P. d. X.
rather favored Mr.. Flower. But they 10y
ally set personal preferences aside and
worked hard for the New York Governor
when his boom began.

Somebody says that Joke defeated Strait
at the time Poehler opposed him. During
the campaign the major was standing one
day on the depot platform at Belle Plaine,
with old Mr.. Hooper, a friend of his, In
laughing manner Hooper accused him
of receiving $4,000 to secure the passage
of certain bill, through congress. This
Strait denied ever having received. A LIE
sueur editor standing by overheard the dis
cussion, rushed home and electrified his
patrons with the tale of Straits bride taking,
and despite Hoopers assertions that 1t was
ONLY joke, the people believed it to be
true.

Gen. Jim Baker says that proofs have been
found in the Superior silver mines of the
existence Of a race of people who once
worked them, and possessed sufficient knowl-

Prince John Van Buren's opponent in a
law suit, once upon time,
was small, nervous little gentleman, who,
during the course Of the trial, was unmerci-
fully scored by Van. Raging at the legal
castigation received he determined to insult
John-''to cut him to the quick,' so to
speak. Meeting the astute gentleman in an
oyster saloon soon after he walked up to him
and said, in the presence of the crowd, ''Mr
Van Buren,, is there any case too dirty OF any
man SO low and vile that you will not de-
fender Looking the little fellow over cody,
John slipped Standard down his throat,
then slowly drawled out this extinguisher:
''Eh! man. what have you been doing

don't know whether that is its name or
not, or whether it Is even an association, but
there are, in st. Paul, number of gentle
men, whose association for one particular
object, might lead them to be dubbed, So
ciety for the prevention of punishment for
criminals. Some of them are quite promi-
nent men, and their present intention seems
to be, to secure the pardon of the Younger
boys, after ten years imprisonment.
Aaron Burr was handsome mau, but he
has a lineal decendent in this state. who does
not pattern after him, in that particular,
though he Is genial gentleman. His name
is Markham Burr-Brown, Jones or Smith.
One of those three.

Railroad BOYS dub each other oueerly. On
one of the lines running out of st. Paul
there are two gentlemen by the name of Cox.
To distinguish them, by name, and as one is
tall and the other short, the boys call the
lengthy one 24x36 Cox, and the smaller one
1Sx24 Cox. So they have been known for
years.

1t was the New York delegation that asked
Minnesota to second Clevelands nomina-
ton.
The Minnesota delegates to Chicago were
solid for Villas for vice president, and chose
Baxter, Of the Bloody Fifth, to nominate him
when their turn in the roll call came. But at
the time, not being ready with his presenta-
ton speech, George asked that the state be pas
ed. Alas for Villas, before Minnesota was called
again Hendricks star had risen and eclipsed
all others and it was too late. Had it not
been for this delay, undoubtedly the Colonel
would have been nominated.

Cleveland's county (Erie) gave him 1000
majority for governor. A gentleman from
Buffalo, and acquainted with Cleveland,
tells me that though the county is Republican
in sentiment, 1t will give him as solid vote
this year.
Already the Republican press accuse Cleve-
land Of having eleven children. For bach
elor that is doing very fairly.

People won't talk when it is so warm that
their tongue sweats, hence the slimness of

Thursdays Music at The Cathedral.
The music rendered on the occasion OF
Bishop Grace's silver jubilee was the special
charge of Mr.. Warner, under whose direction
Dulcken's mass was given, made every pos.
sible effort to make the musical part Of the
ceremony complete, and be is to be congrat
ulated on the very distinguishable success
with which his efforts were rewarded. In bis
work he was very ably assisted by Miss A.
Shave and Miss A. Schorarth, sopranos.
Miss Haggerty an Miss Zenzius, contarltos
Mr., I'll. McLachlan and Mr. Myer, tenors,
and Mr.. Bnckelew, bass, who sustained the
solos throughout. The mass, which is quite
a new thing in church music contains some
numbers which are really good. For instance,
the .sQui Tolis'' which is written for solo
trio, is specially so, Miss A. Shave, Mr.. H.
McLachlan and Mr.. Buckelew sang it and
did it every justice. This is the gem of the
mass and the singers gave 1t a scientifically
delicate and accurate rendering.
Mr.. Myer sang the "benedictus, /" which is
written for tenor solo.
The offertorium was very finely sung by
Miss Schonarth, she even surprising all her
previous efforts In this town.
