In,he Handsof Ris Friends.

Senator S. J. X. Mcmillan was seen last
evening by GLOBE reporter at the Mer-
chants hotel, where he is stopping during
his holiday visit at home. He SAID that
when he came home he had only intended
to remain until the first of next week, and
had not yet changed his plans, as he wanted
to be in Washington as soon after the SEN
ate met as possible Possibly he N G 1t
stay over until Wednesday. He saiu ne
had no outside organization in the interest
of his reelection as senator, but some of his
friends were of course interested in the
matter A good many of the legislators
were strangers to him, and no harm would
be done in meeting them and at least giving
them that much opportunity for acQuaint-
ance. but not much could be done until the
legislature was organized. Mr.. Mcmillan
did not say who would have charge of his
arrangements when he had returned TO
Washington, but thought his friends would
look after that. The senator declined to
commit himself when asked to define his
position in regard to the caucus.

A SURPRISE PARTY.
Some Political Schemes and History
which Have Just Developed.

A bit of history connected with the last
campaign in Minnesota has Just been de-
veloped, which certainly shows Congress
man Lind up IN a most contemplate light.
How it was kept quiet all this while can
only be explained by the fact that no atten-
tion was paid to the Second district canvass
and no reports of the speeches were printed
in the newspapers. People who read this
account of it will draw comparisons in their
own minds between the pigmy Lind and
the giant Wilson. A Second district man
said Yesterday to GLOBE reporter:
Friends of Judge Wilson severely criticize
the attitude of Coneressman-elect Lind
toward the judge during the campaign. Lind
said, in one of his speeches, that Judge Will
son was pettifogger in court and he was
trying to pettifog his way into congress.
Pretty good assurance for a mere boy toward
q man OF Judge Wilson 5 legal reputation-a
man who had graced the supreme bench
of the state! Lind also charged Judge
Wilson with being party to the or
ganization of the trancl! road from Sleepy
Eye to Redwood Falls. and nat the stock was
watered to defraud stockholders and the p a.
irons of the road. The friends of Judge Will
son say that when Lind gets to congress he
may have occasion to regret mis- uncalled-for
attack Congress is Democratic; the major
ity of Lind's colleagues are Democratic; the
speaker will be a Democrat, ana possibly
Lind will find it very unpleasant, not only in
a general way but in respect to appointment
on committees, etc.

An Estimate by One Of Davis Man.
agers--LikeWise Several Citizens.
There does not seem to be any limit of
endurance or persistence in the anatomy of
the man who figures on the senatorial
situation. Nearly every man you meet has
little list. and he has the result figured up
SO nicely-and gives so many reasons for
the faith that is in him-that you cannot
help but believe that he is right. 1t is un-
dOubtedly true that there is a large
element Of uncertainty in the makeup
of the legislature which is to meet next
week. If instructions were carried out, or
if all calculations heretofore made would
not go amiSS, Gov. Davis would be elected
senator. The preponderance of sentiment
seems 70 be in favor of the idea that he will
be. But there are plenty of Shrewd and we'll
posted men who are positive that he Will
not be. Davis managers claim that he will
have not only enough votes to nomi-
Fate him in caucus, but he will
have majority of the members
Of the whole legislature. On the other
hand it is as positively contended that he
cannot hold majority Of the Republicans
and control the caucus. Opinions differ
widely on this point. but Davis and his
lieutenants showed GLOBE reporter last
night list of members who, he claimed,
were personally pledged to Davis and
could not be changed under any circum-
stances. The total footed up siXty-five.
This was not majority of the entire leg
iSIature but there were enough additional
who could be depended upon to make up
the necessary number-SOme of them Demo-
crats--as, for instance Whiteman, of Du-
luth, and HendrcksOn. Of Ramsey. Those
who were on the list he had, however
would stick to the end. The list was as
follows:

follows:
Senator Albert Schefer-I shall vote for
C. K. Davis. My second choice is Gordon E.
Cole.
Representative E a Hendrickson-My first
and second choice for senator is c. X. Davis.
l shall certainly vote for W. r. Merriam for

The Feeling at saltwater.

This from Saltwater man, who is one
of its best known citizens:
washington county is a unit, regardless
of politics, for Warden Reed, simply and
solely because his undoubted fitness for the
position and years of successful conduct of
the penltentiary has placed this institution
among the best managed prisons of the coun-
try. The reopening of the surveyor general
ship war, which ragged so fiercely not many
months ago. will be anticipated with inter-
est, both by the lumbermen, who have per-
haps the most vital interest in the matter,
and by the average citizen, who delights III
a skrimmage of any kind. 1t would be in
teresting to see whether the same potent
influences which were invoked to act upon
Gov. Hubbard can be brought to bear upon
the governor-elect should the majority of
the iumbermen decide i'll favor of McKusick.
MIR. HospeS has made a very creditable
officer, however, so far as known, and, but
for the little rivalry, no particular interest
would be taken in the matter'

The Mrs. Logan Fund.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3O.-The subscrp-
tiOnS to the Logan fund received to- day are
as follows: Morton. Bliss & Co., 81, 900;
Henry c. Bowen. $500; John R. Mclean,
Cincinnati. $500: Edwin L. Stewart, Phila-
delphia. 500; Edwin N. Benson, Philadel-
phia, $500; r. W. Clark & Co., Philadelphia,
500; Charles Smyth. Philadelphia, S1O0;
Sidney l.. Wilson, Washington. S25; total,
So. 525. The following telegram was re-
ceived from Boston:
George E. Lemon, Washington: At the
suggestion of Mr. Lodge, we have opened
popular subscription to the Logan fund, the
receipts from which viii be duly forwarded to
you. BOSTON EVENING RECORD.
Senator Manderson received a telegram
tonight from Senator A. S. Paddock, of
Lincoln, Neb., asking that his name be
added to the list of contributors to the
Logan fund, with a subscription of $500.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-EX-COngressma
Charles B. Farwell. who interested him self
in an attempt to raise $500 TO enable
Mrs Logan to pay off the debts left by her
husband, devoted some time to the matter
to-day with most encouraging success. So
far as could be learned the subscriptions
obtained are: G. B. Farwell, $4,000; HI.
II. Higgenbotham, $4,000; Matthew Lap
lin, $1,000: n. X. Fairbank. $1,000; two
other gentlemen, 81. 600. Beside Mr.. Far
well one or two others have undertaken to
procure subscriptions for the same purpose,
and it is probable that more money than
above reported has already been subscribed.
This movement is entirely distinct from the
one started several days ago in different
parts of the country to raise fund of
500. 600 for Mrs. Logan. the main object
of which is to place her in comfortable
financial circumstances in her Washington
home. The effort to raise S30,000 will be
made only among the business men of this
city.
William Penn Nixon, treasurer of the
Logan fund. sent to Mrs Logan tonight
Sc, 500 as the result of the first collection
in this city for the 500, 600 tribute. A.
number of other subscriptions are promised.
The Chicago subscribers prefer to make
their remttances direct to Mrs. Logan.
Their names have not been made public.

Macdonald Eseafeu.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 30.-The greatest ex-
eitement prevailed here all day yesterday
over the result of the elections in the prov
ince of Ontario. On this contest depended
the fate of Sir John MacdOnald's administra-
ton at the approaching federal election, and
he, with four members of his cabinet, threw
his whole strength into the fight. stumping
the province for the past two months in the
interest of Meredith, the leader of the oppo-
sition thus identifying federal with provin-
cial politics, The result has been that, in
stead of defeating the liberal government of
Mowat it has strengthened his majority 5S
per cent. according to the latest returns,
which give Mowat 60 and Meredith 80.
This means defeat for Sir John. The pros
pect now is that the dominion elections will
be put off to the very latest moment-proba-
bly, to next September.

Fiuseth has wanted an Office that nobody has
heard about and Mcmillan has proved un-
grateful.
Senator Hixon and Representative Costello
are compelled to do a pretty strnddling act.
They are instructed to vote for Davis, though
the convention that nominated them declared
for revision of the tariff. In view of Mr..
Davis recent tariff utterances it would seem
to render him an undesirable candidate for
these gentlemen to support.
Quoth Breckenridge man: 'Tt is safe to
say that majority of the Republicans favor
c. X. Davis. Senator Comstock is stron G
supporter of Davis, and Representative Matt
son ought to be if he obeys the wishes of his
constituents. For second choice Knute Nell
son would be unanimously favored"
Senator Child says. being Democrat, it is
futile to express choice, but he would like
to see the Democrats hang together on the
senatorial question, and perhaps they might
make what little strength they have count
very materially.
for Davis. There can be no mistake about it.
He says: II am for C. h. Davis. notwith-
standing Knute Nelson to the contrary"
sit is not likely, says Winona Democrat,
that the senator and five representatives
from our county will vote for a Republican
for United States senator. Two OF the repre-
sentatives may vote for high license.
The Pine Island correspondent of the
GLOBE says Finseth is for Mcllillan, but the
masses of Republicans up that way favor
Davis.
Senator Dodge is detection from the Davis
ranks. Dodge county instructed for Davis,
and Senator Dodge has always been on his
list.
O. e. Lehman, of lie Suenr (Republican),
has no choice for senator. Probably Mike
Doran would suit him as well as anybody.
ID. II. Freeman, of st. Cloud, is said to be
for Davis for Senator, but if Gilman is in the
field he might change his mind.
H. c. Parrot, of Winona, prefers Judge
William Mitchell of the Democrats and Judge
Start of the Republicans.
Lum, of Brainerd, will not present Kin
dred's name and advocate his cause, but will
probably vote for Davis.
Truax, of Dakota, who is contesting Akin's
seat, is Davis man, and wants to get in bad
to swell the ranks.
Whiteman and Hendrickson are the only
Democrats who express an intention to vote
for Davis.
Representative Ryan. of Waseca county, it
is said, will vote for Mcmillan if he gets a
chance.
Knute Nelson is the second choice of the
Fillmore delegation.
John A. Anderson, of Goodhue, is for Davis
until the end.
Senator Sampson is for Window, Langdon
or Mcmillan.
Saven and Powers favor Judge Thomas
Wilson.
Mcmillan is the second choice of Estes.
Senator Crandall says he is undecided.
Nordvold's second choice is Nelson.
Bowen is for Daniel Buck.

1t has developed that Hon. John Frank,
of Mower county, is being secretly and
shrewdly groomed for one of the railroad
commissioners. The Knights of Labor and
the Farmers alliance are understood to be
backing him for this appointment. A friend
of his says: 1T is well known that had
Judge Wilson declined the nomination for
congress at Winona Frank would have been
the nominee. now the congressman elect,
from this district. Mr.. Franks great popular
ity and strength are due to his record as an
anti-monopolist, brave Union soldier a

and the leading farmer from his portion of
the state. 1t was his fight for the marshall
ship that so let in the light upon the Man
kato railroad enterprise as to make mpos-
sible the nomination of Gilman and easy
that of McGill."

asked by the Associated Press about the
present financial condition Of the kingdom,

ment: The annual revenue, which will be

amendment of tax and custom laws and inn
proved methods of assessment, be raised

StOrdOCk for Warden,

The report that Hon. H. G. Stordock, of
Wilkin county, has retired from the race
for railroad commissioner may have some
foundation. He has been sick for some
time at his home in Rothsay, but petition
was put in circulation i'll Fergus Falls the
first OF the week urging Gov. McGill to ap-
point him as one of the members of the
board. 1t has received many signatures,
for he has many friends there. 1t is ru-
mored, however, that the appointment as
warden of the state prison would be more
agreeable one to Mr.. Stordock than the
other. and that he is likely to be invited to
step into Warden Reeds shoes.

or their SIX representatives Tor him Tor
senator. On the first ballot Gov. Davis
will receive the six votes from Fillmore
county. If he fails of an election, then
three votes that can be named and possibly
all, will desert him. Gov. Davis is at
variance with our people upon the question
of the tariff. We look for the election Of
Davis but recognize the fact that Senator
Mcmillan is strong with the people of this
state: and the fact that Senator Mcmillan
fills the place once occupied by Roscoe
Conkling, as chairman of the committee on
commerce. is an honor for Minnesota.
An Albert Lea estimate of Davis: When
four of the present. and. indeed, all of our
next congressman, support measure for a
reduction of the tariff, it would seem Curl
Gus to send a man to represent US in the
senate who goes over the country prating
about the glories of the tariff under which
we are suffering.
Pine county contributes this to the gen.
eral estimate of Davis: Hon. Henry
Smith. our representative, is Democrat,
and will undoubtedly oppose c. X. Davis,
as it is generally understood that Davis
went long ways out of his path to insult
the Democrats in the late campaign. The
Davis boom in the Thirty-eighth district had
its rise and fall during the campaign and is
now as fat as a prairie.
c. Cooley, of Madelia, says of Davis: HE
is well liked, but if his position on the tariff
question had been understood, the people
would not have favored him. But early i'll
the canvass the people considered his state
ments to be sound Oh the tariff question.
There is not one high tariff man in one
thousand i'll this section"
Dodge Center also has an impression in
regard to Davis. A citizen of that place
said yesterday: early in the season ex-
Gov. Davis was the only one thought of for
United States senator here among Repub-
licans. His speeches during the canvass
on the tariff were not what the people want,
and in consequence he has lost ground"

HannibaI HamIin,s Tribute.

BANGOR, Me-, Dec. 3o.-At meeting
of the B. A. Beal Post G. A. r. tonight
the venerable ex-Vice President Hannibal
Hamlin delivered an eloquent euIogy on the
death of Senator Logan, dwelling princi-
pally OH Logans military career. his loyalty
to his country and his devotion to his COM
rades. The speaker had known Logan in
timately for thirty years. The latter, he
said, possessed the great qualities that
make both soldier and statesman in higher
degree than any other American living.
Nevertheless he was underestimated. High
as he ranked in the field and in the nations
councils. he should have stood higher. He
was a man of courage as well as conviction,
and never was there a more honest man.
The heroic deeds of Gen. Logan would live
when monuments were crumbled. Appro.
