G. Van Camper, Rochester, was an arri-
val at the Merchants. He is the secretary
of the Southern Minnesota Fair association,
and is most enthusiastic over the coming
exhibition under the auspices of that society,
claiming that circuit with st. Paul and
other fair associations will be made, by
which the entries to one meeting will be
made in the others of the same circuit
This, he thinks, will be of great benefit to
the different associations as well as to the
owners OF trOtting horses. Referring to
the political situation in the First con-
gressional district, he said that the indica-
lions were that Lovely would be the Repub-
lican nominee, although Dunnell, being a
great worker might succeed in getting the
nomination which now appeared sure for
Lovely. The speaker expressed the hope
that the Democrats would nominate Judge
Wilson of Winona, and that he would be
elected.
DIR. Howe, Brainerd, was in the city. He
was member Of the last legislature from
that district. At present he is engaged in
moving his large Touring mill from Brain
erd. where for the past six years he has
been located to Duluth, which he considers
the future great city of the n northwest. A
most enthusiastic advocate of Duluth, he
never tires of talking of her many good
points He claims the honor of starting
the first Touring mill at the Zenith city, and
expects others will soon follow.
E. BQokwalter, eX-collector of customs
at st. Vincent and present farmer in Blue
Earth county, said, at the Merchants. that
the nomination OF John Lind for con-
gress in the Second district had not excited
any opposition in any branch of the Repub-
licans, but on the contrary all Republicans
were satisfied. He was of the opinion that
the Democrats would nominate candidate
against Lind, but naturally thought that
the Dem OcratS would have no show of sue
cess.
c. A. Cover, Lansing, Mich, was regis
tered at the Ryan. He is one of the lead
ing men, so far as the educational interests
OF Michigan is concerned, and is now de-

c. +. Kindred, Brainerd, talked and
chatted With his many friends and ac-
quaintances at the Merchants. He is still
firmly convinced-the conviction dawning
on him year or so ago, when he was de-
feated for congress by Knute Nelson, the
present and prospective member to congress
from the Fifth district-that the Scandi-
navians should be elected to all the offices
and kept there just as long as they would
consent to serve. His business to the Cap
