The bees in the Republican hive are be-
ginning TO arouse from the torpidity result
ing from overwhelming majoritieS. and a
mutinOus spirit is becoming manifest,
which is gradually resolving itself into
determination among some of the faction
leaders to either rule or ruin in the future,
which is taken to mean that if the Demo-
Gratis can't kill off Knute Nelson, then an
alliance viii be proffered by the dis
affected section of the party, which,
make no mistake, is not necessarily the an
cient Kindred faction, but faction that is
even now springing into life and gathering
adherents and strength every day, and
whose slogan is synonym for down with
Knute Nelson" Notwithstanding all this.
the most sanguine do not predict success for
the movement and my lad, Knute, goes
serenely ahead laying wireS-not for third
term in congress, but TO succeed TO the gu
benatorial chair of the state, irrespective of
the piteous appeals of Charlie Gilman. who
assumes that the executive chair is his by
right of heirship, and who was not moved
with the spirit of disinterested love for his
Scandinavian brother when he extended
such material and memorable aid TO the
Little Norwegian" on the occa-
sion of his first canvass for
the seat he now occupies. 1t
is a case Of unrequited political love. and
is bitter pill for the bushy eye-browed

ical necessity, that is a Republican political
necessity, or. more properly speaking. a

rs an antidote for the Democratic Scandi-
navian proSelyting which he alleges is now

compelling him TO seek a seat in the second

of a quartet of young rowdies who had be-
come hilarious from two frequent ibations
