CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.

"We do not feel called upon to make
any combinations, said Senator Buck
man, ITO help the cause of Senator Sa-
bin, for we are going to make the fight
short, sharp and decisive. There has
been talk of prOl0ngation Of tine con-
test for United States senator until
February |, but | do not take
any stock in such arguments
After the legislature convenes it Will
not take long to decide who will repre-
sent Minncsot at Washington for six
years, and in my humble judgment his
name will be Dwight NJ. Sabin. Thus
far all the talk about combinations, dark
horses and compromise candidates has
come from the other side, but we are
going ahead hoeing our own row, and
not paying any attention to eXtraneoUs
matters"
Gen. w. d. Washburn has enlarged
his sphere of operations at the Mer.
chants, and has taken another suite or
apartments on the second floor, so that
he is now in direct line with Senator
Sabin'S parlOrs. The new Washburn
Headquarters were formerly occupied
by the Democratic state executive
Landberg was wont to dispense
political information, Capt. Shuler and
his cohorts now hold prolonged eXecu-
tive sessions. Within the past few days
MIR. Washburn has deserted Minneapo-
lis entirely and takes his meals regu-
larry at the Merchants. 1t has been
noticed, too, that his side wllisllers are
more closely trimmed, probably" as
as one of the senator makers remarked
yesterday. with a view to reducing his
weight for the race

1t would be difficult to imagine three
more different types Of men than the
candidates for the senatorship who
have ayOwed their purpose to contest
for this prize. Senator Sabin, tall,
heavy-set, swarthy-compleXioned, and
bubbling over with pleasant words, and
Il hearty grasp of the hand for all
corners. seems tireeSS in his efforts to
q succeed himself at the capital.
Gen. Washburn although not so heavy
as his competitor, is very straight
figured, and his dignifed air cannot fail
to make good impression upon all with
whom he is brought i'll contact. Time
has silvered his hair and tinged with
grey his trim English side whiSkers,
and shiny beaver hat completes the
makeup of man with whom fOl rune
appears to have been very lavish with
her gifts.
Ignalius Donnelly, short. stocky in
stature and clean shaven, seems to be
the very embodiment of good human

being completed by black derby hat.

Hon. lgnatius DOnnelly continues to
be puzzle to the politicians, and his
latest move has put the gossippers on
the alert to divine his intentions. With
a view to conducting his canvass
more discreetly than in the
crowded rotunda, the Sage of Min
neSOta has followed the example
of MeSSrs. Sabin and Washburn. and,
commencing to-day, will establish head
quarters in one of The rooms OF the
Merchants. He wants the parlors at
the corner of Third and Jackson streets,
and 10y this arrangement he will pitch
his tent directly III the center between
those Of the two leading aspirants
for senatorial honOrs. Il am in
the fight to STAY remarked MIR.
D0nnelly and my friends will know just
where to find me when the time comes
for voting. The people who want me
to 20 TO " aShingtOn will stand by me :;
of that | am assured. and somebody's
calculations are going to be knocked
into cooked hat before many moons"
