Ohio, and is spoken of for the post
master generalship under the new adj
ministration. During the Cincinnati
convention in 'i6, after the shades of
evening had begun to gather about the
-ctlpola of Music hall, seeing that another
half hour would probably nominate
Blaine, Mr.. Weir rushed below stairs
and. securing the good will of the watch
man, turned off the gas and left the
hall in darkness. As the convention
could not proceed with its deliberations
in the dark, an adjournment was
taken, and that night the pins
were set up for the nomlna-
ton of an obscure citizen from
Fremont. o.. for tie presidency. Mr..

new special train out OF Jersey City is a
dandy We leave there at s p. III. and
reach Chicago at 9:45 the following
evening. The train makes about the
same stops which are made by the lin

the Chicago division just west OF Fort

suits are any criterion our venture Will

W. T. Phelps, secretary of the Duluth
chamber of commerce, was at the Ryan
last evening. Mr.. Phelps will consult
with Senators Sabin and Davis to-day
with view to obtaining favorable
legislation for the Zenith City. In
speaking upon that topic last evening
he said: The people of Duluth are
not eXtravagant in their wishes. We
wish to have bridge built across the
ship canal, and also across the dIke be-
tween Rice and Minnesota Points. and
thereby form a belt line around the
harbor. Our bill hung fire in congress
all winter, and Senator Sawyer,
the chairman of the subcommit-
tee Oh bridges, put it in his
pocket, anu it was a breach of
senatorial courtesy to request him to
produce it. In the house of representa-
tives Hangen kept the bill back by NOV
ing that it be not read, and SO we were
forced to grin and bear it. the people
of Wisconsin are jealous of us and will
do all in their power to thwart our
plans. In the Fifth district we do not
favor the candidacy of Washburn and
think that the Twin Cities are eXorb-
itant in their demands for political rep
resentation. Sabin world suit lis much
better. for the country should be given
recognition"
E. E. Mcdonald, yesterday. in speak
Ing of the possible creation of local
police commission by the next legis-
iature, said that in his opinion
the idea possessed many virtues as
well as faults and it should be carefully
weighed in the balance before action
was taken. Part san politics are not
SION" said he. "Chief Clark has made
an admirable officer and should be con-
tinued in power. The efficiency of the
force should not be proStituted fer po-
litical ends"
Yesterday was a ield day for the
politicians. and representative mentrom
all parts OF the stale were in the Mer-
chants throughout the afternoon, and,
drawing their chairs together, talked
politics by the yard. The United
States sci atolial outlook was the chief
topic of conversation, and the probable
ity of Gov. MeGilE having am
billions in that direction was
freely commented upon. 1t was
generally conceded that he had the SEN
atoral bee in his bon let and was grad
ually shaping his course towards at
tanning his ambitious desire. Ex-Gov.
Hubbard stated yesterday morning
that the appointment of Representative
Elect Hoyt of the Reform school board
was great surprise to him, as he knew
nothing about it until rumorS of HSHtS
confirmation reached him indirectly.
Gov. McGill had promised the position
to MIR. Hubbard, and laboring under the
deluSion that the state executive had
been guilty of double dealing, friends
of the former were loud in their denun-
Citations of McGill. They stated that he
was making bid as successor to Sem
ator Sabin through the Red Wing repre-
sentative, and sought to gain vote for
the furtherance of his political ambi-
tons 10y appointing Mr.. Hoyt as sue
cessor to MI. Ingersoll. whose reSigna-
ton had caused vacancy.
~
sWhy, the story is absurd" said Gov.
McGill, with a laugh. when waited upon
5y q GLOBE reporter at the capital"
81 did tender the position to eX-Gov.
Hubbard, but he did not care to take it,
and | have his letter on file in which he
recommends Hoyt, who was also warm
ly Endorsed by most of the representa-
tive men of Red Wing. | think the APP
pOintment is good one, and am sure it
will give satisf iction to the people of
his district"

"Gov. McGill's declaration forces me
to place somewhat different construc-r
ton on the matter now" said w. +.
Cross. the we'll known Red Wing poll
tician, and it means that eX-Gov. Hub
bard has played us all false, and that he
stood in with the deal while he repre-
scented himself to his friends as being
disappointed candidate. The position
in itself amounts to little, but it would
. be sufficient bond of obligation
as an implied compliment to
cause the recipient to favor the
donor should he desire a vote
for the senatorship. l have had some
experience with the manipulations of
the political machine, and for the first
time am surprised at its workings. The
school will be moved to Red Wing, and
a resident of that town should have
been the appointee. We were for Hub
bard for FIRST choice and Wifl,StOn for
second, and although his chances are
indeed slim, Gov. McGill has shown his
hand and brought to light his future po-
litical aspirations.
Tams Bixby, Gen. w. r. Cross and
Robert Deakin discoursed on the aspect
of things political, and in the course of
their dissertation a bystander asked
how many votes Hoyt could control.
''Well, hardly think he can control his
own now" said Tams Bixby, ''for of
course it is pledged to MctIill. l have
thought for long time that eX-Gov.
Hubbard was in the deal, and now am
convinced of it," "Well," said Gen.
Cross, you politicians can nurse your
