Cleveland intended to do what was light
but" added he, ''his party wont let him.
He is better than his party"
He thought that it was too early in the CAM
paign to predict the names OF presi-
dental candidates of either OF the Po-
litical parties, as many changes would proba-
bly, take place within the next TWO years.
While he admitted that James 6. Blaine had
many friends who sought to renomlnate him
as the Republican standard bearer for 1883,
the speaker was not of the opinion that such
result was sure to follow.
ID. Z. Meyers, the ex-representative from
Stearns county, and one OF the CHIEF Albert
acknowledgements boomers in the state,
was an arrival yesterday. He said that Mr..
Schetfer'S withdrawal from the race for the
nomination for governor was in good faith.
The speaker thought that he had done SO be-
cause he did not have the time to make the
canvass, as his California trip would take him
out OF the state at very important period.
The reasons which actuated his withdrawal
from the gubernatorial race would serve IN
the congressional contest, and as result, Mr..
Scheffer would not consent to have his name
used in connection with the congressional
nomination. Mr.. Meyers thought that Mr..
Schefer had the best chance of any of the
candidates for governor. and had he remained
in the race would probably have been nomi-
mated. He said that while Shelter was not an
out-and-out candidate, he nevertheless had,
or his friends thought he could count on be-
tween 20 and 100 delegates and with an active
canvass the number could be largely in
creased before the convention. The speaker
was of the opinion the Schefer strength would
be divided between Gilman and McGill, and
that no new candidate would be forced into
the fight by Scheffer's withdrawal.
STREET SAYINGS.
Someone asked DIR. Murphy the other day
if he had laid his toboggan suit away for the
lad

SAID he. Judge Baker and myself thought of
a scheme, and it works well. We are using
our toboggan clothes for bathing suits. Of
course be only use the trousers, as 1t wouldn' t
look well to go in bathing with coats on, and

is spot on the beach at White Bear where
the doctor and the judge disport themselves
in the waves, and the old settlers at the
lake say that they can tell the
minute that these men get into the lake, as
the water rises about two feet, and those
who were not used to it might take the rise
for a tidal wave.
1t is told of these men that one day last
week they were enjoying their bath, when
they became playful and got mixed up in
game OF tag. As the game went on it grew
exciting, and the doctor suddenly bolted out
of the water followed by the judge. The
water in the lake fell so suddenly that at the
Chateaugay it left about 200 pickerel and bass
