MEN WHO TALK.
Gen. John b. Thus far the dele.
| gates elected to the
SanbOrn. state convention indE
cate reaction againSi
BLAINE, and decidedly favorable to
Judge GRESHAM as the next candidate
of the Republican party for the presi-
dency. AS far as l am personally con-
cerned, l would not under any circum-
stances support one of the high protec-
tlonists of the East whose name has
been mentioned i'll connection with this
Office, no matter whether | am termed
a mugwump or not.
President CLEVELAND'S platform. as
enunciated in his message to congress-,
| meets my views exactly, and the same
is doubtless true of hundreds of other
| Republicans in Minnesota. Everything
| points to the selection of Judge GRESH-
AM by the Republicans, but for the
life of me | can not see where he is
strong enough to defeat Mr.. CLEyE-
| LAND.
The moneyed classes back of pr0tec-
ton stand i'll the same position to-day
that the Shareholders did prior to the
| wal. uCollG W tAtICISt
| sway. regardless of what the people de-
sire. And this all tends in the direction
OF making protection of primary in
stead of secondary Importance in a
country where relief is needed from
| burdenSOme and excessive taxation.
The people are not to be hoodwinked
longer by the cry of demagOgucS that
| protection is necessity, and they are
realizing with full force that the bur
| denS forced upon them by war tariff
are too great to be endured.
Representatives of Eastern mOnopO-
| lies will not have much show in the
| West this campaign, and for my part
although personally friendly to Gen.
HAwLEY and despite his soldier record,
II he should be nominated | would with
draw my support from him because of
his high protection views.
Judge GRESHAM about fills the bill
for a peoples candidate, and this seems
to be a growing sentiment throughout
| the West.
Samuel Real estate matters
in St. Paul are very
Sloan. quiet at present, but |
have not heard of any
one who desires to sacrifice holdings.
On the contrary, notes maturing
are being taken up promptly, ana
owners are hopeful of q brighter future.
T While there have not been any extern
Siye transactions, especially OF the mag
nitude OF the Boston syndicate a few
days ago, still there is a prospect that
as soon as the weather settles there will
be healthy upward tendency Of the
realty market.
Such sale as was effected to the
Boston business men would be wonder
full in cities of the size of New York or
Chicago, and ii cannot fail to have due
weight in determining the condition of
st. Paul real estate i'll the future.
Such backward spring as we have
experienced has had depressing effect
upon all trades, and merchants are COM
planning that their sales do not begin to
equal those of a year or so ago.
In some branches of business certain
lines Of goods are already out Of the
market, and there cannot be a rally for
another year. and is one of the principal
causes of complaint. Building opera
lions have been impeded too. but the
indications are more promising now, and
until late in the fall of 1883 we may eX-
pect operations of this description to be
more on the increase than ever before
In our history.
Transfers of real estate have almost
reached point of StagnatiOn, and this
will account for the apathy i'll the real
estate circles, but it is always darkest
before dawn. and this adage seems
likely to be verified in our city, and that
very shortly.

William l.. OF the Ohio State
Journal - Undoubted-
O'Brien, ly the strongest man
tD-61V in rbp United
States for the second place on the
Democratic ticket is Commissioner
of Pensions BLACK, and he seems
to be the coming man, if any con-
clusion can be formed from popular
opinion. TO be sure, there is a strong
undercurrent in the interest of Gov.
GRAY, of Indiana, based mainly upon
the fact that his state is regarded as one
of the dOubtfulS in the pending cam
paign. But, to Off set this, it is claimed
that Illinois can justly be placed iii the
same category. No matter whom the
Republicans may nominate. it looks like
a foregone conclusion that President
CLEVELAND will be given a second
term, for the talk of DEPEW does not
scare any one. What the New York
Central magnate would be able to ac-
compliSh i'll his own state, say that he
made a close run there, would be cOun-
terbalanced by Democratic gains i'll
states west OF the AlleghenieS.
And then. in case our own citizen,
JOHN SHERMAN. should be nominated,
which | regard as very doubtful con-
tingency. how he would be ripped up
the back, and by his own party aSsO-
ciateS, too. Political changes, however,
are the order of the day, and | am
strongly reminded of this fact by the
declinatiOn Of his constituents to renom-
mate Hon. BERIAH WILKINS, of Ohio,
at present chairman of the committee
on banking and currency i'll the house
of representatives. WILKINS is states
man in every sense of the word and a
credit to his party, and one of his
stauncheSt adherentS declared that he
should be continued in public life, be-
cause he was, in addition to his other
qualifications, good poker player.
1T takes pretty crafty man to know
when to lay down full hand" was his
remark. land that qualification is pos
seSsed by BERIAH WILKINS, for | have
seen him do it frequently"

has been stated that those left at the
fort were to be sent to Carlisle. Pa.
Two of the prisoners, THE BANK and

were returned to the Crow reservation.
