He said that heretofore the contest for the
Republican nomination for congress in the
Third district had been between Capt Reed
and himself. but that ex-MarShal Denny
had announced himself as candidate, and
a three-cornered fight would soon be in pro-
gress. He pretended to say that the more
candidates in the field the merrier it would
be, but his assertion lacked heart and soul.
EX-Marshal Denny of Carver county was
moving among the crowd. He said that he
was candidate for the Republican nOmi-
nation in the Third congressional district.
ana intended to see what could be done to
get the delegates from the different coun-
ties in the district He did not claim that
he had walkaway or that the fight was
going against him.
EX-Representative Rogers sof Dakota
county said that Denny would stand much
better show for the nomination if it was
not known that he was the successor of
Maj. Strait the present Republican con-
gresham from that district. AS it was, he
said, he did not know whether Denny would
get any other county than Carver, in which
he lived. He is Reed man, is Mr.. Rogers,
and is opposed to Herbert because the latter
allowed his paper, the Red Wing Advocate,
to lndorse the bill reinstating Fitz John
Porter as general in the regular army.
IL. e. Stordock of Rohsay, Wilkin
county. was another interesting candidate.

a farm near Rothsay, about a mile
distant from the village. He attempted
to walk home in the snow storm and got
lost. The storm turned into a regular
blizzard and the mercury fell to 400 be-

wandered about the prairie, unable to find
a farm house or living being. When he
found shelter his feet and hands were
frozen and had to be amputated. Two

employed to strike the keys.
FROM THE ALLIANCE.
G. W. Sprague, the president of the
Farmers alliance, referring to Ignatius
Donnelly'S claims Of starting new politi-
cal party out of the farmers, said that he
did not think there was any reason to be-
lieve that third political party would be
necessary in Minnesota during the coming
state campaign. He expressed the opin-
ion that the Democratic and Republican
parties would come out on platform grant
ing all the reasonable requests of the
farmers. and that there would be
no necessity for the farmers going
into separate political organization.
he said that he believed the Farmers alli-
ance should be kept out of politics, and
that the individual members should be per-
mltted to vote for the candidates whom
they most admired. In legislative way,
he said that efforts were being made in
most all OF the counties in Minnesota to get
pledges from the probable members of the
two branches of the legislature not to resist
needed legislation for the benefit of the
farming community. In this way, be in
simulated, a friendly legislature could be
secured without converting the alliance into
a political association.
w. j. Ives of Hutchinson expressed his
regret that Albert Scheffer of st. Paul had
withdrawn from the gubernatoral race as
it left his (Schetfer's) friends aud supporters
