MAI. STRAITS FUTURE.
ME-. Herbert Thinks He would Like
10 BE Governor. Window OF wi.

B. B. Herbert, Red Wing, came in yes
terday. Referring to the campaign in the
Third congressional district in which he is
a prominent candidate for the Republican
nomination, he said that he believed he
had the nomination, although Reed and
Denny claimed that they stand good chances,
and something might turn up to change the
whole campaign. He gave Denny Carver
and Scott counties, and said that he saw no
reason why he should carry any other
county in the district. Reed, he regarded,
as his most formidable opponent. He did
not think that Maj. Strait was secretly
working for a denomination, although he
had heard that such was the fact. In his
opinion Strait would sooner be governor
than return another term as congressman
from the Third district, but it was possible
that failing to become the Republican nomi-
nee as governor, Strait might come down
to the congressional convention and try to
get in as the compromise candidate Such
visit he'considered very improbable. al
though Strait had many friends throughout
the district who would like to see him the
candidate for governor.

expressed opinion that Chandler was Re-
publican for Office, and that once out of of
fee it would be quite difficult to tell how he
would stand politically. He said that when
Chandler was candidate flor state senator
that he had opposed him, as he thought
that he was not the proper man for the Of
fee, and for this opposition Chandler has
fought him in the present campaign.
WINDOW OF wINoNA.
Ex-senator William Window of Winon a.,
registered at the Merchants He came
down from Minneapolis where he had been
on private business. He is not deeply in
terested in the state canvass, and there is a
growing sentiment that he is out of politics
and has no designs upon either the govern
orship or senatorship. A man, who is i'll a
position to know, gives it out that the ex-
secretary of the treasury, is now working fol
WINDOWS bank account, and not for his
political advancement. 1t is said that
he is interested in some coal land neal
Duluth and is otherwise interested in trans
actions looking to his financial gain that
are taking up goodly portion of his time
and talents. He is not, as he has frequently
announced. a candidate for governor OF
senator.
