E G. Holmes, Detroit, was an arrival
yesterday. He said that political affairs in
the Fifth Congressional district were not
warming up as yet, although there was
some talk as to Knute Nelson's successor.
The latter, il was announced, was IN the
hands of his friends, which, being politi-
caIlv interpreted. meant that he was in the
race for denomination provided it APP
peared possible that such denomination could
be secured. Mr.. Holmes thought that Sen
atOr ComStock of MOorhead was candi-
date for the place, and others would find
il convenient to seek nomination before
or at the time of the convention. lie had
heard that Senator STEVENSON of Crookston
was thinking of making the canvass, and If
he began the fight his candidacy would have
a tendency to divide the Scandinavian
forces now held by Nelson.
DR.. A. Guernon, the collector of customs
at st. Vincent, who has been in the city on
official business, returned to his home. He
said that st. Vincent was the only port in
the country which had a SUPPORT (St.
Paul. which did greater amount of busi-
ness than itself, and the SUPPORT was
growing in importance all the time, while
st. Vincent failed to keep up. DR.. Guer-
non, before his appointment, resided at
Little Falls, and his family reside there at
the present time. The town of Little
Falls is not far distant from st. Cloud and
evidences of the recent cyclone were visible
at Little Falls in the shape of debris of
every character, blown there from Sank
Rapids and st. Cloud.

ID. S. Ossau. New York. was at the Ryan.

chased as gift to President Cleveland. 1t

from the traditions of his race, took back
the jewel and finally sold it 10 Minnie

late municipal contest, by getting up ear
tOons for the Minneapolis Tribune.
