CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.

An unusual number Of politicians
eongregated about the Merchants yes
terday afternoon. Senator Sabin
dropped in for few moments during
the early afternoon hours and gave a
parting hand-shake around the circle,
ere he left for Washington, where he
intends to make vigorous fight for
appropriations for the st. Paul and
Saltwater public buildings. He will.
however, return shortly, like good
general, to personally direct his sena-
tOrial campaign.
''They may fool the dairy commits
SionerS of the effete East" said Il. Z.
Judson Yesterday afternoon. ''but there
market as the genuine article, and
though we are kept pretty well on the
jump we manage to look out for the
dairy interests of this state"
The opinion was freely expressed by
the politicians about the lobby yester-
day, that the Washburn boom was
decidedly on the wane. The gentleman
from Hennepin was liable to develop
his entire strength on the first ballot,
and would be an unfelt factor in the
struggle thereafter. 1gnatuis DonnellY
was authority for the statement that
"Brass Kettle Bill' would have about
thirty-five votes when noses We're
counted on the first ballot. ''He will
show his hand at the start" concluded
the sage, land will speedily be laid on
the political cooling board"
-
Fl. P. Hall, Freeman P. Lane, Eugene
Hay. Senator Clough and MesSrs. Petit
and Shuler were among the Hennepln
braves who toasted their shins in front
of the big stove yesterday afternoon,
against itself, the delegation from the
town up stream are liable to cut small
figure in the senatorial fight.
State Senator and Congressman-elect
ID. S. Hall stated yesterday that he had
no senatorial preferences, bit hoped the
best man would win. George F. Potter
lowered about for few minutes, but
was communicative. f. w. Hoyt,
of Goodhne, was on hand and smilingly
received the congratulations of friends
upon his recent appointment upon the
reform school board. Jared Benson, a
Washington man, who is tried and
true, took Aivah Eastman in
tow and ineulcated some political
lessons into the brain of the latter.
Joel Heatwole, lis smiling and mysteri-
Gus as ever, led Tams BiXby into an OBJ
Scure corner, and the two talked con-
fidently and earnestly as they surveyed
the motley crowd. Joel is Minnesota'S
Warwick, and maybe he was naming
the next United States senator, as he
meditatively glanced at sunny eX-
Yao,co of C1,irt froDt illuminated NV a
solitaire of unestimable value.
81 am more chagrined at the defeat of
Cleveland than at my own i'll luck"
said Judge Macdonald yesterday. '.To
what cause dc ascribe my defeat? Oh,
simply to the general cyclone which
carried all before it On the 9th of last
month. | am now on my way to Wash
ington. Taking everything into con-
sideration, am glad [ am not gong
back, for l do not care to be there dur
ing a Republican administration"
Ex-Gov. Hubbard is dissatisfied at the
manner in which ne has been snubbed
10y Gov. Mctilll. Gov. Hubbard tolds
friends shortly after the appointment of
MI Hoyt to the reform school board
that he had written the governor letter
IN regard 10 the appointment, and the
latter had willfully miSconstrued it to
curry favor with certain element
to aid him in his future political
aims. A well known politician said
yesterday afternoon: ''McGill will soon
leave the gubernatorial chair, and will
thereafter occupy the same relative po-
sition to Minnesota politics that r. 4.
Hayes does toward the affairs Of the ma
ton"
