CHIT CHAT CORNER.


l.. G. johnson, a leading attorney and
representative citizen OF Aberdeen,
Oak, passed through st. Paul yesterday,
homeward-bound from pleasure trip
through the Black Hills. From a Dem
ocratic standpoint he pronounced the
political outlook very bright in his sec
ton of the territory. d. w. Harden,
Democratic candidate for delegate 10
congress. had recently completed per-
SOnal canvass OF Central DaKota' Great,
ing very favorable impression and
making many warm friends among all
classes, particularly the farmers. The
Farmers; alliance headquarters of North
Dakota are at Aberdeen, and Judging
from indications Mr.. Harden would re-
ceive the united support OF that organ
iZatlOn.
J.E. f. Markley, of Mason City, Iowa.
an influential member of the Democracy
of Northwestern Iowa, was in st. Paul
Yesterday. Regarding politics in the
Hawkeye state, Mr.. MaTkley said: Il
consider Iowa doubtful state, despite
the positive assertions of Republican
managers to the contrary. My reasons
for chasing the state as doubtful are
based upon the fact that wherever L
have been there are small Democratic
gains, and many of our people are
aWaking to the necessity for reduc-
ton of the tariff, and look to the DEM
ocratic party to relieve them Of their
burden. the ProhibitiOnistS are
conducting an active campaign,
and are gaining strength from
the Republican party in every county
of the state. Iowa is a thickly settled
state and polls a very large vote, and
with Democratic gains of fifty to few
hundred in every county the aggregate
would be very large. We are sure of
a gain of one to three congressman. In
the Fifth district a Democrat will be
elected, and in the Fourth, which has
always been considered Republican, we
will probably elect our candidate, as
Sweeney. the Republican nominee, is
very unpopular. We have placed in
nomination a man of marked ability,
Prof. l.. 5. ReQua, president of the Lu-
theran college at DEBORAH. He will
command the support Of all Democrats,
and. being Scandinavian, will draw
from the Republicans large number Of
voters of his nationality"

What with national, state and county
elections next month, the life of full
fledged American citizen will be any
thing but happy one. There is reason
to believe that in the fight over petty
local offices the grave questions at stake,
the selection of national representatives
will be lost sight of. Hon. Theodore
Sanders, in discussing this matter,
said: ''It is great mistake
to have national and local cleo
lions on the same day. The old
system of having the two on separate
occasions was the best, and the sooner
we return to that method the better for
the government of the country, national
and local. 1t is impossible for anyone
except seasoned politicians to know all
the candidates up for election, and the
result is that great scope is given ward
heelers to earn their dollars. At Mime
apoliS there will be seventeen ballot
boxes election day, and naturally
enough. voters will be somewhat be-
wildered in making their selections.

Hon. John l.. Gibbs, chairman of the
late Republican state convention, takes
a broad view on the tariff question.
"The Republican party" he says, ARE
aware that the tariff requires amending,
and, if afforded an opportunity, will cut
it down. They will take the tax off all
manufactures which this country IS un-
able to produce, and that is as much as
the Democratic party will do. There is
really no difference between the two
national parties on this question, and in
my opinion the agricultuiStS of this
state see this and will stick by the Re-
publican party"

limb of society. happened to be one of
the hundred specially invited guests at
an uptown event. the object of which
was a general good time upon the
highly polished floor and to the strains
of an orchestra. Miss Small, reignRg
belle of a Pacific coast state, was also
numbered with the gay and light
hearted jewellers. Her pretty face, petite
form, and grace of bearing soon made
the hearts of the young men swell to
great proportions; all must have an in
PRODUCTION to this brOwn-eyed beauty,
and enjoy the ecstatic fit of a waltz or
polka. Mr.. Lengthy was among the
first TO obtain the desired presentation:
and ne begged a dance, then another;
and was about to put his name down
again for another round of torture for
Miss Small, when that little body pO-
Iitely informed him of the improperly
of such a monopoly, thanking him,
however. for the intended honor. The
music commenced, and all were soon
upon the mirrOr-like floor, fitting
around with all the bends and graceS
known to the terpSichOrean art. One
part of the floor, near the entrance to
the spacious hall, was extremely smooth
and slippery, but Mr.. Lengthy, con-
sciOus of his skill to stand upon the de-
ceptive spot-sailed boldly forth to dis
play his talent. And such a spectacle,
the floor actually kissed the caIlOused
cheek of the lad with a rebOunding
smack. What was left of Mr.. Lengthy
was picked up and escorted TO the ante
room, his unfortunate partner was as
sisted to a seat, and it is ascertained
that she is the patient of NJ. ID.

An officer who has been a member of
the city police force for long time, last
night offered an explanation of the
marked tranquility which has prevailed
in police circles for several days past.
Speaking on the decrease in the number
of DRINKS and disOrderlies, he said:
t'MOSt of these fellows are men who
work OH small salaries and ordinarily
spend every cent they make in carouS-
ing. The recent cold snap has reminded
them that winter is coming on and that
unless they save money to buy neces-
Sary clothing there would be consider
able ShiYering on street corners. Just
wait till they get fixed up for the winter
and they'll begin to blow themselves
and get run in again. It's always this
way III the fall"
Public speakers should be careful
about facts when addressing multitudes,
for there may be some persons in their
audiences who are pretty well posted
in history.
In his speech at Detroit James lingo
Blaine is reported as saying that there
had not been a veto by the crown of any
act of parliament since the revolution
of 1858. For the ''mOst brilliant man in
