WHICH WAY THE WIND BLOWS.
A campaign incident has Just developed
The citizens of town in the Fifth district
hung McGill in effgy during the exciting
times when the election was in doubt, 1t has
been kept quiet for some reason, presumably
out of respect o Mr.. McGill. He is naturally
a sensitive man, and has enough suffering to
bear already.
The telegraphic reports do not say that

kiss. of the Preston Republican, and Editor
Van Leuven, of the Spring Valley Vidette.
but it is suspected here in st. Paul that he
has instigated the proceedings. Mr.. Lovely
should not vent all his spleen on the poor
newspaper men. OF course they had good
deal to do with it, but Mr.. Lovely should show
no favoritisin. He ought to include Judge
Wilson, Milo White and the voters who bolted
their party.

Neighbors of Adit. Gen. MacCarthy say
he never slept a wink for three nights while
the Lac Qui Parle court house exc tement
was at white heat. He kept himself in readi-
ness to march at moments notice, and gave
unmistakable evidence of an intense desire
to win glory and fame even at the lannon's
mouth. His shadow could be seen against
the curtain of his window, as he paced
back and forth during the silent
watches of the night, and one neighbor who
saw him come ont upon the verandah at a.

clearly outlined in the bright moonlight. he
looked every inch soldier. 1t would have
been sweet solace to his soul if he could have
had the chance to order Col. Bend out and
then boss him around during the campaign.
The petering out of the Lac qui Parle trouble
deprived Gen. MacCarthy OF an opportuni ty
for honors that may never occur again in his
lifetime.
There is much speculation as to whether
Gov. Hubbard will remove to New York or
remain in Minnesota after his term of office
expires 1t is probable that he might have
been induced to return to Red Wing and
reach out for the Third district congressional
nomination but for the unfortunate fate of
his fellow-townsmau. Herbert. This was
enough, though, to knock the ambition out
of any man.

Mr. Buffum probably expects to capture
the speakership 10y running i'll between the
Necktie and Anti-Neckte factions. While
they are making great deal of noise, and
endeavoring 10 tear each other to pieces, he
will make q rush for the chair and carry it by
storm. Lee and Merriam will DO well to keep
an eye OH him.
Nobody seems to be saying ANYTHING about
Congressman-Elect John Lind. Has he re-
tired into obscurity to remain there during
his congressional term?
-
Come to think Of it, did anybody hear the
gentle voice of Col. Pat DOMAIN in the recent
Dakota campaign? There was time when
the colonel made more noise than anybody,
and if there had been any sugar in it for him
this time it is likely that his voice would have
rung out so loud and clear that it would have
| been distinctly audible in PARKWAY Honduras.
