CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.

Next Monday afternoon number OF
dairvmen from various parts of the
state will meet at the Merchants to take
informal action in the appointment of
the next dairy commissioner. A series
of resolutions of Endorsement will be
drawn up and will be presented for APP
proval to the governor-elect. Who will
be the man upon whom will fall the
mantle of approval has not been de
cided, but from present indications it
will be neither Ives nor Howard. The
conference was called by Charles 4.
Marvin, who sent circulars throughout
the state to such as were thought to be
unfayorable to the candidacy of either
Ives or Howard. Two of the circulars,
however, we're sent to Messrs. Potter
and Ames. both of whom are friendly to
Mr.. Ives and indorSe his administra-
ton.
W.D. Washburn makes daily pilgrim
ages to the political shrine at the Mer-
chants, and feeds upon the political
gossip of the rotunda with evident
relish. A hearty shake of the hand

He fingers but a short time in the lobby,
however, but speedily takes the eleva-
tor, and is carried heavenWard. The
Washburn headquarters are at room 70,
and under the management of Is. L.
Shuler. Mr.. Wasburn pays a visit to
his headquarters every day, and re-
mains most of the afternoon.

r. G. Evans. of Minneapolis, is about
the Merchants almost daily. He af-
fleets complete ignorance upon the sem
atorial question, and is, according to his
own statement, as innocent of what is
in the mind as blushing school girl.
The Minneapolitan expressed great sur
prise to learn that the Washburn forces
had established themselves III head
Quarters at the hotel, and seemed not to
know that the uncroWned king OF flour
was a candidate.

The fight for political plums is getting
hotter and hotter, and the scramble for
Office under the next legislature is get
ting animated. The race tor the chief
cler1ship of the house is, however, the
principal struggle and eXciteS the most
interest. Representatives. continue
to assert that j. r. Howard will not be
able to secure enough votes to succeed
himself, but many of the old stayers
think that when noses are counted on
the final roundup he will come snlil-
ingly to the fire as usual. Robert
Deakin is on hand, however, every day
and is making hard fight, while friends
of c. E. Carpenter and Fred Warner
claim for their favorites enough votes
to secure them the clerkship.

Representative Barr, of MankatO, was
about the lobby yesterday afternoon.
"Our members are not pledged as yet
upon the senatorial question" said he,
''but we shall speedily hold caucus
and adopt the unit rule by supporting
collectively the choice of our members
for senator, speaker aud the minor Off
ceS. We want an appropriation for our
normal school. but | do not know
whether we will be fortunate enough to
get it,"
A number of the members of the eX-
ecutive committee of the Farmers ALI
ance were about political headquarters
during the late hours of the afternoon
and evening. They talked politics in a
generally and were favorably received
as men. But as Il body, but little inter-
est was betrayed i'll their movements,
and the present meeting of the commit
tee created but little comment. None
were surprised to learn that the gov
ernor-eiect had avoided committing
himself, and thought he had eXtricated
himself from his temporary embarrass-
ment in happy manner by saying
nothing.
