WHICH WAY INT WIND BLOWS.

ThOrns continue to multiply in he Pathwa.
of Hou. G. h. Davis, and the erstwhile roSy
tint of his senatorial canvass is being grad
ualy sicklied DER with pale cast of blue
In fact it begins to look very blue for him
indeed. Two months ago he was looked upon
as Certain-to-be Senator Davis, but now the
chances are decidedly against him and the
waters of defeat are slowly but surely clos
ing over aud envelopIng him. The seeds O
treason have already been Sown in his OWL
home delegation, and his enemies are activel,
at work to secure his defeat. 1t is ! l.
known fact that he is a failure as politician
and it is not probable that his opponents will
have much trouble in laying hun out.

The lists of senatorial candidates are
being rapidly made up, and combinations
are being formed in all directions. The
latest Richmond in the field is Hon. c. A
Gilman, who has begun his campaign il
earnest, undeterred by his recent sad eX
perience in the Republican state cOuven
ton. Mr.. Gilman has made known his In
tentions to a number of his friends, anC
his confidential agents have already started
out over the state. He is taking time by
the forelock, and will make use of every
opportunity to gain advantage. OF course
be expects to draw most of his strength from
the farmer members of the LEGISLATURE
among whom he will have many friends es-
pecially in the Fifth district The friends OF
McGill and Pillsbury will of course, do every
thing in their power to knife Gilman. They
are under the impression that Gilman de-
ceved them and did not support the ticket
loyalty, and consequently they want his scalp.
Gilman is recOg nized as a shrewd and able
man, and it can be depended upon that he
will lead them a very lively and interesting
race.

Another aspirant for senatorial hOnors is
C. A PillsburV, of Minneapolis-the son OF
his father-who is very popular and will have
a strong following. The McGill men will lend
him helping hand, and ne will have the act
i've support of the elevator men AMI the mill
ers, to Say nothing of his pas influence. G. A.
has been laying his wires for long time. and
it is safe to say that the strength of his
forces, if known, would surprise the Hon. G.
K Davis and the other aSpitantS. When the
head Of Mr. PiilSb ny does show up in the
legislature. however. il will be fun 10 see the
way The farmers, with clubs in their hands,
will scramble to get whack at it. The
wheat ring aroma will cling to him still.

1t is the general belief that R. B. Langdon
is Il dead duck, and. that the Pllsburys hal u
great deal to do in making corpse or him
in the interest of Charlie. AT one time r. b
'ad 'opes, but he will now sink into oblivion,
along with Loren Fletcher, and bind up his
the pie, LangdOn will necessarily have TO 60
to bed without any-aud that settles Lang
don. Thomas Lowry is also re latora
possibility, in certain contingencies. w. K
Merriam likewise. The latler's certain con
tingency IS his election as speaker of he
house. If he gets that his ambition will
soar higher. But if he gets knocked out he
will sell out his stock OF great expectations
at a discount and take reef in his sails
These are all the senatorial certaInties and
probabilities that have appeared on the sur
face so far. But all of them have certain
elements of strength. And they are opposed
to Davis and tend TO weaken hin. In fac'
Mr.. Davis is In a position where he Is ID
great danger of being devoured by pack OF
wolves.
MEANWHILE has anybody thought about
Senator Mcmillan? He amt saving a word
and he is taking no part in any fractional
fight.

1t leaks out that Sam Nichols was one OF
the visiting statesmen who went up into
Itasca county to see that an honest count
was made. This accounts for his strange
disappearance, which caused deal OF COM
ment. 1t was feared thar he was proving
around in Todd county and that he had de-
signs on the life of his adversary, gentle
man by the singular and unusual name OF
Jones.
There was wonder and amazement when
the news came from Otter Tail county tnat
ssBog-Trotter' Marden had been elected court
commissioner until it was explained that the
county had to take care of him, and TINS JOB
was given him in lieu of granting him a
pension. 1t was simply matter OF charity.
