looked refreshed as they walked up Tue
street from the depot III earnest conNerSa
ton. Evidently they had enjoyed the!t
trip and had coupled pleasure WIN pus'-
ness. A little army OF curious anu aliAious
citizens who had read the paragraph I'D inc
G1opp limiting the return of the Democratic
leaders were waiting TO receive them. III
order To avoid the propOundlng OF multlfar-
ions questions they had waited
in their sleeping car 1or
fifteen minutes. When the crowd
had dispersed the mayor ana colohei
emerged from the car. But at the city nall
they encountered the multitude, and such
onestions as .'Who will get the postoffice?"
"D;d YOU see the preSident?' is the bride
as beautiful as she has been Portrayed"
were fired at them in rapid succession. The
REPLIES were to the point, and after the peo-
nle had been Semi-SatiStied in this respect,
the mavOr made his way to his office,
where he remained long enough to give
number of hurried orders. He then took
the motor for his home III the Eighth ward
TO see his family, returning AGAIN at III
O'Clock. He forthwith entered upon the
duty of affiXing his official signature to
lot of warrants and bonds, and opened
basket full of letters which were carefully
placed in pigeon holes in his great desk TO
await future attention. 1t was then tnat a
GLOBE reporter worked his way INTO the
presence Of his honor. He was surrounded
by his staff and Col. Glenn.
II suppose you have had pleasant trip'
proposed the reporter. ~
Never had happier time in my life. The
colonel and myself were most cor
daily received by President Cleveland anu
the presidents most trusted FRIENDS anu az
visers. We met brilliant cotere OF Poil-
ticiaus. vino appeared deeply interested IN
Minnearolis politics. The president remen-
bered me from my former visit and congratu-
lated me upon my triumphant election III
most iattering terms.
Ibid you receive any positive assurances
that Col Glenn would secure the poStoHce
appointments persisted the reporter
Il will saw. frankly and without reserva-
ton. that neither nor anybody else has any
positive assurances And 1 will supple
mert this statement with the re-
mars that came back with the
belief that the successful Democracy will
come out victorious. Indeed, can see no
earthly reason why we should be defeated.
He went to Washington fresh from popu-
lar indors of our citizens-an lndorse-
ment of the votes TO the formidable numper
of over 5000 majority.
II notice, by telegraphic information, that
you went from Washington to New ork Win

Your information is literally correct. We
visited New York, and on Memorial day L
had the honor to sit in the grand stand
with President Cleveland and Gen. Villas.
from which we witnessed a most imposing
review of the troops. The New Y orh ofhcalS
also accorded us a cordial reception, and we
were given the hospitality of the city.

You made your headquarters at the Gilsey
house. Did you meet the bride!'

most people, and. although l occupied parlor
No. and Miss Folsom parlor No :, next ad-
joining. made no effort to see her. Every
body mentioned her as a beautiful and ac-
complshed lady"
''What is your proposition regarding the
amendment to the dead liney "
MY views are fully set forth in my veto
mess ge to the city council. | am conStltu-
tionally opposed to the dead line, and cannot
countenance it by signing the ordinance
t'When will your lecture to the police de-
partmet be given?
Il have fixed upon no date, but will do so
as soon as get over my present press of
official business. 1t will come off soon. While
in Washington l procured copy OF the
manual of the Metropolitan police of that
city, and, together with the New York
manual, think supplied with valu-
able fund of information to draw upon in
recognizing the Minneapolis department. 1
propose to make the Minneapolis department
second to none in the country
But. returning to the postotfice question,
what did you learn in Washington concerning
the other candidates."

were eXerting every possible influence, but l
think we have nothing to fear. l do not think
President Cleveland will appoint g man who
opposed my election in the recent municipal
campaign. l had nothing to say against the
other candidates. all OF whom are estimable
gentlemen, and personal, il not POLITICAL
friends of NINE
