ROTUNDA RIPPLES.

Hotel Hobbies presented a rather de.
serted appearance yesterday, interest
being absorbed in the municipal cleo
ton, and the usual knots of loungers
distributed themselves throughout the
city, many of them intent upon putting
in some good work for political friends.
Towards evening, however, they be-
gan to reaSSemble in their accustomed
seats and INDUCED in discussions of the
prospects of the various candidates.
Every newcomer was instantly sur
rounded and besieged for information
from the various precincts, but the de-
tails were meager and unSatisfac-
tory, and few crumbs of COM
fort could be extracted by those
anxious for definite returns. Some of
the most enthusiastic adherents became
involved in animated discussions as to
the merits of the candidates, but the
war while it lasted was merely one of
words, and no harm resulted from such
campaign.
81 have come from Eyota," said Gen.
Edwin Dunn, ito attend the meeting of
prison inspectors at Saltwater to-mor-
row, that being the regular meeting
day. AT present everything is moving
along smoothly in the conduct of the
penitentiary and do not know of any
abuses that exist. AS at present cOnsti-
tuted the board of inspectors are work
ing tremendously and with an eye single
to the public welfare, and it is our inten-
ton, if possible, that this condition of af-
airs shall continue. So far as politics
are concerned i'll my part of the state the
impression is that Albert Scheffer
was too hasty in his action towards the
Farmers alliance, and he has not i'm
proved his chances for Republican sup
port by the course that he has seen fit to
pursue. Most aSsuredly he will not be
Endorsed by the Republican state con-
ventiOn. Gov. McGill has proven him
self capable, efficient official, and his
administration seems to have given sat
isfactiOn to the masses. When he was
elected governor, there was great out
cry to the effect that he would be merely
tool of the wheat ring, but he has eff
fectually disposed of this calumny, Civ
ing Straightforward, conservative ad-
miniStration, and his denomination is a
recognition of his services that he is en-
titled to-
secretary Denny has moved out to
the fair grounds" said Manager w. F.
Cross, of the Agricultural society, 'sand
will JON him Thursday for the pur-
pose of inaugurating active operations
at Hamline. Nearly all the stabling
accommodations have been bespoken,
and there are number of horses al
ready at the track taking preliminary
exercise. Entries closed to-day, MAY
l, for the Minnesota Breeders stake
for colts now in Minnesota, and Mr..
Judson, who has charge of the matter,
has received numerous communications
regarding it. 1t will probably be sev-
eral days ere all the entries
are in, for entries mailed to-day
are eligible and will be accepted
There is not much to be done at Ham
line in the way of improvements be-
You'd cleaning up and preparing the
buildings for the approaching fair, aud
after that task is completed we will
turn our attention to the preparation of
programme. This will include all the
attractions that we can secure, but it
will not be completed until the summer
is we'll advanced. The backwardness
of the season has operated against US
somewhat, but we do not exp ect any
further obstacles now that spring has
fairly opened"
