CAN THESE THINGS BE2

At the ant-saloon Republican convention
BILLY WINDOW is reported as saying 1.-The
greatest political evil is the corrupt use Of
money in politics." There are those who
claim that WINDOW could prove the truth of
his assertion, and that without reference to
the sudden demise of old BILL JONES.

Those who claim to be we'll posted say that
with AMEs to head the ticket and RICE for
congress. Democratic county officers in both
Hennepin and Ramsey could all be elected.

There is a slight misunderstanding be-
tween Sheriff RICHTER and Deputy Sheriff
CHAPEL as to which is entitled to the shrievalty
plum this fall. Two years ago RICHTER
promised CHAPEL to work for him for the
place this time but lately he has concluded
to accept third term, even if he has to for
get his promise and knock CHAPEL out to get
the nomination. RICHTER claims he ought to
he renomnated, because no prisoners have
escaped from the Jail during his last term.
In explaining to friend the other day, RICH
TER said he was too cunning for the crooks
and broke open all the pies and cakes sent to
the jail so as to be certain there were no saws
or files concealed in them. This one thing
election by handsome majority.
Rumor has it that deep-laid plot is being
Matched by the Young Mems Republican club
which will result in one of the members of
that powerful factor in politics being thrust
forward for national senatorial honors. The
fight for the Endorsement is said to have mar
rowed down to Judge SCHOONMAKER anC S..
A. PHILLIPS.

Gen. J. H. BAKER says he knows who the
Republican nominee for governor will be, and
is prepared to bet on the point. He insists
that il will not be any of the trio of proni-
nently mentioned candidates, but, in order to
prove the assertion that he has great head,
refuses to give the name of the dark horse.

The scheme of the editor of the Dispatch,
to work the gubernatoral candidates in his
paper the same way he did the congressional
candidates two years ago in the Journal, is
not panning out we'll. There are rumors of
the rejection of another 81, 900 Did made by
GEORGE KIDDER, and hence the grand howl
about snap game, in the editorial columns
OF the alert evening paper.

Friends of Prof. GJERTsEN, of Minneapo-
lis, deny that GILMAN's promise to make him
tate superintendent of schools has caused
him to swing into line for the farmer

Gen. A. B. NETTLE of Minneapolis. is
again taking u hand in politics. All the Re-
publican statesmen in the Flour City seem
to be coming to the front.

The plan to keep DoNNELLY out of the
state convention will disappoint many who
were expecting to near very pointed speech
which the sage would spring at that gath

Said r. c. Judson: George Eastin is the
first newspaper man / ever knew who made
any money. 1 hear he is going to retire from
the business independently rich. Well, he's
a good fellow and I'm glad of it," And the
man whom he was talking to walked away,
wondering who had been operating on judi
sons ear.

street car line who evidently proposes
to enforce the admonition that is posted up

drivers will collect fare of every pass eneer.
The cars on that line have a habit of jumping
the track. A few nights ago a car left the
