THE MINNESOTA OFFICES.
A good deal of interest is felt here re-
garding the distribution of Minnesota
Offices The position taken by Mr.. Kelly
and Mr.. DOran in regard to this matter has
awakened great curiosity to know how the
few men whom they recommend will fare.
Thus far 1t Is noticed that Mr.. Kelly's
recommendations have prevailed. He was
understood here to be backing Whipple for
the Winona postOffice against Doran,
who is said to have favored Buck.
The fight which was not long ago appar-
emily between Donnelly and Crooks seems
to spread out so as to take in some other peo-
pie. Indeed it seems quite probably that
the president may conclude that his easiest
and best way out OF the difficulty will be to
select some third man, who has not been
mixed up in the fight. The feeling over
the Donnelly fight has become SO hot
that is felt by some who are watching it
that this will be the most practical solu-
ton of the problem. At least it seems
pretty certain that Donnelly will not get
the position. New evidences Of this have
come to the surface In the past twenty four
hours. Neither Mr.. Donnelly's' record nor
able impressions with the president, and
while Secretary Lamar is doubtless in
favor of Donnelly, it seems quite proba-
BILE that the president may decide to take
up an altogether new man, as was his
course in a number of very important cases
when there was great feeling between the
original candidates.

important changes in post offices in both
Wisconsin and Minnesota very soon. 1t is
understood that number of very important
cases have been under consideration by the
department, with view of making some
changes at very early date. In most of
the cases where it has been thought best to
make removals and new appoint
ments, it has been found practi-
cable to gather up enough offensive
partlsanship" to base removal upon. 1t
does not require great amount of this
article to enable the administration to
''1lre' postmaster when it has a man it
wants to put in the place. There are
number OF the important Offices in both
states under consideration and it seems
likely that they may be acted On very soon.
THE WISCONSIN sENAToRSHIP.
Postmaster General Villas will continue to
make Wisconsin pOstmasters pretty rapidly
from this on. He has not forgotten that the
legislature which is to be chosen next fall
is to elect senator. 1t has pleased some
people to say that Mr.. Villas is not can
dldate for the senate. Perhaps he is not,
but he would doubtless be willing to ac-
cept the place if rendered to him, and
what is more he will not
forget about the senatorial poss-
Utilities in the distribution of the postofices.
General Bragg has had this In mind all
along. and has watched Col. Vilas' progress
IN this particular with good deal OF inter-
est He does not hesitate to announce him
self as candidate for the senate in case
the legislature is Democratic. but he will
keep pretty close watch on the Wisconsin
postofficeS as they are being ground out in
the next six months.
