CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.

Saturday is proyerbially dull day
about the hotels, and yesterday was no
exception to the rule. John Ford spent
the afternoon playing stick knife On the
marble thing at the Merchants, and at
the Ryan Lutte Cafferty, sighed, as he
looked at the clock. and wondered how
Charley Harris would return. The day
stragglers who dropped in at political
headquarters took carey not to miss
their respective trains.

Alvah Eastman. of Anoka; A. t.
CroSsfield, of Traverse, and Editor
Whiteman, of the Ortonville Herald,
formed pleasing group at the Mer-
chants yesterday morning. Mr.. East
man is practically member of the
Hennepin delegation; SO, ofkcourse, he
is Washburn TO the core. MI. Cross
field declined to express a preference
on the senatorial question. Editor
Whiteman is candidate for the enroll
ing clerkship of the senate, and like a
wise man declines to express opinions
which might compromise him awk-
wardly in the future.
81 am not indulging in any false
hopes" said Frank Reed. ''but the out
look is most encouraging. | have asked
none of the members-elect to pledge
themselves, but several have offered to
do so. BY the way, several dark horses
have entered the race for the poStotfice,
but do not know how strong run they
will make"
sour dairymen's convention promises
to be a success" said Carl JudSon. "All
interested from various parts of the
state will be present, and we will wind
up with grand ball. Come up to
Farlbault and see me waltz with the
prettiest girl in the ROOM" And Carl
hurried towards the capitol.
Tim Byrnes, of the Republican
league; H. e. Petit. of the Fourth Dis
trict congressional committee, and
Darius Reese, the silyer-tongued orator,
drew their chairs together and can
vassed the situation yesterday after
noon. Messrs. Byrnes and Petit are, of
course. Smelling the woods for Wash
burn, but as a bystander- remarked,
"They are not sincere in support of his
candidacy. Being from Hennepin
county, they are obliged to outwardly
pretend to support the choice of that
delegation"
Robert Miller, Of the Democratic
state central committee, is about the
Merchants every afternoon. "This is
not our fight" said he yesterday, when
tnterrogated on the senatorial question,
land | know no more about it than
newborn babe. If | were interested,
however, would speedily post myself
as to the workings of the machine, and
would be pretty certain of the ultimate
result"
E. P Emerson, formerly manager of
the Ryan, and lately connected with the
hotel in Excelsior Springs, Mo-, was at
the Ryan yesterday. Mir. Emerson has
been to Duluth. and speaks highly of
the new Spaulding house, which will
will be opened in the Zenith city.

". j. Underwood. of Minneapolis, is
occasionally seen about the lobby of the
Merchants. He is staunch Republi-
can, and was an active member of the
Old Soldiers Harrison and Morton club,
of Minneapolis. To say that he is
pleased at the election of Capt. Babb,
but mildly expresses it.
~
1t is stated that the legislature will be
petitiOned for an extra Judge in the jul
dicial district embraced by Hennepin,
Anoka and ISanti counties. 1t is said
that Weston Hammond, lawyer Of
Anoka, will be Endorsed for the place,
since Hennepin has the other three
judges.
J. A. Clark. of Montana, is paying his
annual visit to st. Paul, and is stopping
at the Merchants. Mr.. Clark for a long
time was the owner of the stage line
through the Yellowstone Park, but dis
posed of interest in that enterprise last
spring, and now has charge of the gov
eminent line which runs through sec
ton of the National Park, conveying
mail and passengers. ut takes about
four days to make the trip through the
park" said MIR. Clark last evening, eff
person takes the journey by stage.
But seriously. l should not advise any
tourist to take the trip by the
regular stage line unless abso-
lutely pressed for time. For $40 a
day he can procure conveya nee
and be thoroughly Independent of the
regular tourist, and stop at stated inter-
walls for food and rest. The beauties of
the park cannot be appreciated in a
single glance, two or three weeks may
be spent in viewing its natural attrac-
lions, OF course the government allows
no hunting on its domain, but in every
direction within stones throw of its
boundaries game may be found in
abundance. go 81 -
