CHIT CHAT CORNER.

said Railroad Commissioner J0nn Il.
Gibbs, who has just returned from
tour of inspection through the southern
part of the state, ''if they could hear the
talk out in the country favorable to
denomination of Gov. McGill. Those
that l have talked with were of the
opinion that the present executive had
proven himself capable and energetic,
and the most that could be said against
him was that he had taken care OF his
friends. If that be crime, however,
then the governor must plead guilty to
the Indictment, but no fair-minded per-
son will blame him much for such ac-
ton. All the indications as far as can
judge by observation and conversation
are that Gov. McGlll will be awarded
second term despite the efforts OF the
outs to OuSt the inS. There is as much
internal dissension among the Demo-
Gratis as ever characterized the conduct
of Republicans when in power, and as
long as there are politics in the United
States there will be disgruntled Office
seekers envious of the success of more
fortunate citizens. And this, in nut
shell, is the condition of affairs to-day
in Minnesota
Marshal Campbell-We want no ex-
periments in this campaign. Edmund
Rice is sure winner for congress. but
If we should put him up for governor
we would run the risk of losing both
gubernatorial and congressional fights.
I would be pleased to see Eugene M.
Wilson put forward by the Democrats.
He is a clean man and has a good anti
monopoly record. l am satisfied that
Mr.. Doran would take off his coat and
work for him.
Jadge d. A. J. Baker-Albert Schef-
fer'S letter is statesmanlike, sensible
communication, full of good points and
wisdom. It's all humbug fol any one to
claim that his language is obscure, and
that he concealS his meaning and says
what he doesn't mean. The letter is as
plain as church spire, and equally as
pointed. No one can misunderstood it
except those who have determined that
they will not understand it. There are
many people who have an interest. just
at this time, to misunderstood MIR.
Scheffer. They have an object in view,
and had he stated problem in Euclid
they would have misunderstood him.
He tells the Democrats that he doesn't
want their nomination. | don't wonder,
for would not take it if l was in
Scheffer's place.
Mr.. Denny, the secretary of the state
agricultural society, is very much graft
fled at the indications in regard to the
success of the agricultural exhibit that
will be made in September. His mail is
enormous every day, and numerous en-
tries have already been made. The
cattle exhibit will be unusually large
and varied. Mr.. Cross has gone to
Cleveland to attend the grand circuit
races for the purpose of securing some
of the fastest and most popular horses
to come here during fair week. Mr.
Denny feels confident that the next
fair that is held here will be the best
ever witnessed, and that great many
more people will be in attendance than
ever before in the history of the agri-
cultural society.
G. S. Fee-The emigration business
that is being done by the Northern Pa
,cific road this year is unusually large
and dwarfS all the work ever before
done by the road. 1t is not alone in the
number that the year 1888 surpasses all
other records, but also in the quality.
Never before have such emigrants gone
West. Nearly all of these people are
}ntelligent American citizens who are
going from the older states to try their
fortunes in Washington and Montana
territories. Many of these emigrants
are from Iowa, Tennessee, New Eng
land, Pennsylvania, Ohio, TllfhoiS and
other states. All have money, and
many of them have sufficient amount
to buy farms and stock them. They are
men that are accustomed to the soil
and will farm intelligently and will
develop the resources of the country.
All that go there fall in love with the
climate and write back to their friends
In the states to follow them.

riam & Moore, returned yesterday
morning from pleasure tour through
the Eastern cities and watering places.
While away Mr.. Merriam INDUCED his
fancy for fine-bred dogs, and brought
home with him several fine specimens;
One, a Utica pug" which Mr.. Mer-
riam says is the only one owned west
of New York city, was particularly adj
mired. An effort will be made to induce
MIR. Merriam to place his kennel on eX-
hibition at the coming state fair.

tell how the county stands on the Schef
fer move" John Dean, of Hutchinson
