POLITICAL GOSSIP.
What Some of the Politicians in the
City Said Yesterday.

What Some of the Politicians in the
City Said Yesterday.
w. j. Ives. Hutchinson, was an arrival yes
terday. He said that A. Fl Reed of Glencoe
would probably secure the Republican nomi-
nation for congress in the Third district, and
was confident that Reed would secure the
delegation from Hutchinson and vicinity. in
his opinion the contest for the nomination
was between Reed and Herbert of Red Wing,
with the chances slightly III favor of Reed.
In the gubernatorial vote he thought that
Albert Schaeffer of st. Paul had good
chance for the Republican nomination, as he
appeared to be popular all over the state
Mr.. Ives, while admitting that Lieut.. Gov.
Gilman was ahead so far, said that Gilman
lacked great many votes of having sutfi-
cient following in the coming convention to
nominate him for the coveted position, and
that Gilman had g most decided and grow
ing opposition which would be hard to over
come. In his opinion Gilman and Gibbs
would unite their forces in the convention,
Speaker Gibbs contenting himself with the
second place on the ticket, but even this COM
bination would not prove successful.
F. G. Tuttle Ortonville, came in on the
morning train. He is the editor of the Orion
ville Star and is Republican. 1t is his
opinion that Knute Nelson, recently renomi-
mated for congress in the Fifth district, would
be reelected without the least trouble, as the
Scandnavians of that district cast about
$4,000 votes and were to man for Nelson.
The same unanimity, he said, did not prevail
among the non-Seandinavian Republicans,
many others thinking that someone else
could represent the upper part OF the state.
1t had been apparent for some time, he said,
that Nelson had walkaway and the opposi-
tion did not develop as would have been the
case had it appeared possible to defeat him.
Mr.. Tuttle said that in his county an anti
Nelson delegation could have been sent to the
congressional convention if there had been
any show that the opposition would amount
to anything. A similar state of affairs ex-
listed at Duluth.
''Miie Bunnell, Duluth was the name on
the register of the Merchants. Transients
took the register for portion of Millie-
Christie. the double-headed woman Or at least
for French danseuse stranded at the lake
port city of Minnesota. The owner of the
dainty cognomen is not q woman. He is sup
posed to be man. His father owns the Du-
luth Herald, a bright little afternoon paper,
and the young son with the misdeal name,
pretends to have something to do with the
paper.
Ralph Metcalf. the owner and proprietor Of
the Wihoua Herald, came up to attend the
ahti-ring-rule Democratic meeting. He came
simply as looker-on. He is strongly in favor
of Mayor Ames of Minneapolis for governor
and ex-Mayor Ludwig OF Winona for lieuten-
ant governor.
Mr.. Gilman is not pleased to have it insinu-
ated that he was not an original Knute Nelson
man. On the contrary, he desires it to be dis
tinctly understood that he was instrumental
in bringing Influence from Duluth to quiet
the Kicking against Nelson, and that he stands
in with the Nelson crowd. This is printed in
the GLOBE at the personal REQUEST of near
friend of Mr. Gilman.
