The Republican county committee
has been skirmiShing around pretty
lively for the last two weeks collecting
heelers who participated i'll the last
campaign and who were done out of
their money. There are several hun
dred of these heelerS who have never
been paid for their services, and the
candidates are afraid that unless some
thing is done to smooth matters over
that they may down the Republican
ticket in November. One candidate who
reluctantly paid over quite a sum
to square up matters, said that
it was shame the way man who was
running for office was bled. why"
said he, Il paid the county committee
two years ago five times as much money
as L received from the office to which /
was elected, and here they are around
again claiming to be still in debt to the
amount of several thousand dollars. |
have no doubt but what they-a badly
in debt, for | know several parties my
self who have never been paid, but
there is no use talking, there is some
thing rotten in that county committee
or they would have been able to have
paid up their debts.''

The Republicans. having completed
the organization of their G.. A. r. Harri-
son. Morton and Ege club, are now busilv
engaged in organizing a club to be COM
posed entirely of persons who skipped
across the line into Canada during our
late war to escape being drafted into
the army. The club will, probably. be
named the sc. a. Pillsbury club" in
honor of our fellow townsman of that
name, who about that time became sud-
denly convinced that Canada presented
a better business opening for a young
man than did the United States. But.

valiant conduct during the war, the Re-
publicans elected him to the state
senate, although his opponent was an
old soldier, who served all through the
war.
A. 81. Hall, financial agent for Sam P.
Snider, the GOgebic millionaire, has
Just returned from an extended tour
through the Fourth congressional dis
trict, and reports Snider's congressional
boom as growing, and says that all the
counties except Wright and Washing
ton will send Snider delegations to the
district convention.
Col. Ed Davenport is quoted as say
ing that he hoped Sam Snider would be
nominated for congress instead of Loren
Fletcher, because Snider would put ten
times as much money into the cam.
palgn as Fletcher would, and that the
Republicans would need all the money
they could get hold of in order to carry
Hennepin county at the coming cleo
ton.
Ace P. Abel. the popular justice, is
now known as the king of South Mime
apolis. Since Saint Aleck Millar moved
away Ace has held undisputed sway.
Col. Frank Davis is very considerate.
He is keeping away in order that Rob-
ert Jamison may gather in the stray lau-
rels during his absence.
Very little has been heard of Hon.
lynn Byrnes lately. The league is not
cutting the swathe it would have done
had Blaine been the Chicago nominee.
Hon. r. B. Langdon has made no pre-
dictions since his return from Chicago.
He went into the prophet business once
and then retired. But four years from
now he will be delegate again, just the
same.

for mayor, and Eighth ward finances
are in such shape, is glad he is not an
alderman,
