Senatorial SCRAPS.

A Fergus Falls transient who is one of the
best posted men in the Fifth district, says:"In
our senatorial district the Republicans are SC
nritedly in favor of Davis for senator that il
is not thought the legislative delegation-Sen-
ator Compton and Representatives Plowman
and Bjorge-will dare to support anybody
else. whatever their individual preferences
may be- Senator Compton is said to have a
great regard for X. b. Langdon. Since their
election Plowman and Biorge have stayed at
so little part in political discussion that no
body knows whom they favor.
Senator Nachbar and Representative Far
icy, of Scott couuty, are both practical farm
ers. They were elected upon straight Dem
ocratic ticket and platform, and pledged
themselves to advance the farmers interests.
They are both low license men. and are solldly
opposed to any SUmptuary or m OnopOlistic
legislation. For senator they will undoubt-
edy support the nominee of the Democratic
caucus, and, in all events, their votes will not
be cast for any candidate having protective
tariff proclivities.
A Goodhue county politician talks thusly in
regard 10 the standing of the legislative dele
CATION from that county on the senatorial
questions; G. A. Anderson, of Vasa is in
structed for Davis. and o. o. Nordvold ex-
presses preference for the same gentleman.
Senator Peter Nelson Democrat) was elected
with the understanding that he would vote
for Davis, and o. L. Naeseth Representative
is also said to be for Davis. Senator a. X.
Finseth is probably for Mcmillan.
\ Crookston politician in the lobby of the
Merchants, yesterday, said: "Hon. H. Samp-
son, the senator-elect for the Forty-fift sena-
torial district is now very i'll at his home in
Crookston. So many of the great men of our
nation have died lately that he don't feel very
well himself. / think Mr.. Sampson favors
Window or Langdon. possibly Mcmillan. l do

am of the opinion that Loren Fletcher will
have something to say for our representa-
tive during the session"
1t is generally believed that Gov. Davis
cannot depend on more than one of the three
Republican members EJECT from Blue Earth
county, although the county convention in-
dorsed Davis. The Mankato Register is op-
posing Gov. Davis vigorously on account of
his views on the tariff, while the Free Press is
giving him i lukewarm support. The Regis
ter rather favors Mcmillan
Senator McMillan's friends CLAIM that, as
chairman of the commerce committee, he has
been one of the most active and useful men,
pers OF congress. Of 1S3 bills passed during
the last session fifty came from the commerce
committee. OF these ten were of interest to
Minnesota directly, and Minnesota had as
much interest in seven more of them us any
state in the Union.
Frank s. Randall, OF Winona, who is secre-
tary of the First district Democratic congress
siona committee, says Judge Wilson will not
accept the Democratic nomination for United
States senator. He had it the last time. and
feels that the party has been very kind to
him, and that there are many deserving Dem-
ocrars in Minnesota, one of whom should be
recognized.
A. X. Finseth, of Goodhue county, who is a
member of the present legislature was the
original Mcmillan mar at the time of his
former election. 1t is not to be presumed
that he will go back on Mcmillan now, unless
