The stove was favorite at the Merchants
yesterday. Guests clustered around the old
and huge heating apparatus and looked out
the windows at the wild, clustering snow
storm. Numerous remarks were made
about the weather. Not a few mentioned
the fact that it was the most extensive
snow storm of the season. Others con-
tented themselves with narrating some per-
sonal experiences in snow storms and block
AIDES of the past. The billiard-rooms at all
the hotels were well patronized, People
felt obliged to remain indoors, and so whiled
the hours by playing billiards or pool. Dur
ing the day and far into the night the
click of the ivory balls on the field of the
cloth of green was heard.

The Hon. Ignatius Donnely passed
through on his way to Nininger. He has
been away from home for some time in at
tendance at the farmers convention, and
was on his way home to spend the Sabbath.
He looked like jolly and cOrpulent priest
with his clean Shaven face and bright gray
eyes. He has no earthly use at the present
season of the year for mOnOp0lies of any
character, and. in his many and and varied
addresses before the tillers of the soil,
makes several good points against mOnOpO-
lies in general, and railroads in particular.
He is, when at home. busily engaged in
writing his book, wherein he will attempt
to prove that Bacon was the author of the
so-called Shakespearean plays. He said
that he expected TO complete the manu-
script and have it in the hands of the printer
the latter part of the present summer.

The tallest man at the hotels was Alex
ander Mckenzie Of Bismarck. He consid-
ers himself large enough to handle a good
deal of the political business OF Dakota, and
thrives under his political load. He is gem
orally given credit for engineering the re-
moval of the capital from Yankton TO Bis
marck. He is therefore quite popular in his
home. The YanktOn people have known
men whom they liked better. Mr.. Mckenzie
is not very ardent advocate of the plan
for dividing the territory on the forty-sixth
parallel. In fact, his happiness would not
be disturbed if the territory was admitted
as single state and Bismarck should re-
main the capital.
Col. C. II. Graves, Duluth, said that the
residents Of the Zenith city were so much
taken up with the prosperity of their city
and its iattering prospects for the coming
season that they had no time to discuss
general state politics. They were united
on one thing, he said, and that was the
nomination of Judge Steans of Duluth at
the next Republican congressional conven-
ton. He would like to see Judge Steams
selected in place of Knute Nelson of Alex
andria, who represented the district in con-
gress at the present time. He said that
the Democratic party at Duluth was grow
ing very rapidly in numbers. the increase
being manifest in the last three years The
effect of Democratic administration i'm in
creasng the Democratic voters. he said,
would be shown at the election next fall.

l.. II. McKusick, member of the lower
branch of the legislature from Pine CITY,
came down with the snow. He is fat. fair
and 40. He said that politics in his sec
ton had not warmed up sufficiently for him
to make any predictions. He thought,
however, that following the fashion of the
rest of the states, his district would try and
present candidate for some of the state
offices, if nothing more than an applicant
for the nomination of attorney general.
