He was in this latter mood yesterday,
and it was plain to be seen that he was
satisfied with the result of his mission to
Washington But after talking for half
an hour with him. it was difficult to sum up
just what information of value he had i'm
ported. There wasn't much of a chance
to do anything" he explained by way of an
introduction. You see. | was only there
one day. and the news of Arthur death
came on that very morning. Of course
everything closed up. and Cleveland and
the cabinet were practically inaccessible. >
What does Cleveland think of the Demo-
cratic victory in Minnesota? Why, he's
awfully well pleased with it, as a matter
of course. as well as the balance of the adj
ministration. They think it was a great
thing.
"Will there be a general dropping
of heads in the basket now

| Now, see here. l don't know anything
about that, and l don't care about it.

sick aud tired of the. whole business, and
want it taken entirely out of my hands.
Minnesota has three Democratic congress-
men, and want them to look after this
| patronage business. When a man comes tC
| me and wants an Office in either of these
Democratic districts | refer him to his Dem
ocratc congressman. | tell you | don't
want to hear any more about it. I've had
enough of it. Would | act so in regard tC
the st. Paul postOffice? Yes, I'd tell them
| to 90 to Rice. Will there be a change il
| the ST. Paul pOstOf1ice before the end OF
| Postmaster Days term? l cannot tell,
| know nothing whatever about it.

"How about the assertion of DR.. Ames
| that he will contest McGilrs election?
don't know, but if he has good grounds tC
stand upon [ will stick to him and help

/ has found any evidence as yet on which to

was in doubt we took steps at once to cover

here will show who stood the brunt of the
