Gen. Cross, of Red Wing, strong
supporter of Millionaire Merriam, has
changed his mind. The GLOBE chron-
icled a short time ago the fact that Mr..
Cross had Wagered S. LOwenStein, of st.
Paul, ten cold, glittering dollars that
Albert Scheffer would not have Ramsey
county in the state convention. Mr..
Lowenstein promptly took the offer,
but some time later, it is said, Gen.
Cross appealed successfully to his oppo-
nent'S mercy and was permitted to
withdraw his wager. The Merriam
flnancierS don't wear betting hats when
they talk Of how Ramsey county will go.
1t was the GLOBE that noted some
weeks ago that Millionaire Merriam had
opened headquarters in room of the
Merchants. But they have been aban-
doned there and new ones opened in the
Ryan, where the millionaire and his
moneyed friends carefully guide the I'M
sophisticated for little chat.

Speculation is rife again as to how the
Minnesota delegation to the Chicago
convention will vote on the first ballot
for president. 1t is settled that r. B.
Langdon's choice is Alger, of Michigan,
and that he will stick by him. Freaney
is for Gresham, and Davis, while first
for Blaine, may be now put in the
Gresham column. Heatwole is for
Gresham. Gen. Chandler is marked as
favoring Ben Harrison or Depew. Hart
ley is supposed to be for any one but
Gresham, as is also Edwards. One eSti-
the delegation to Gresham and the re-
manning four as scattering. The dele
CATION will not be unit, and if by any
chance Blaine's name should be sprung
the majority will go to him.

W. HI. DeKay, of Hastings, scoffed
yesterday at the idea of Cleveland be-
ing reelected, but as he is Stalwart
republican no one wondered. Gresham,
in his opinion, would be the Republican
nominee and the next president. He
talked Millionaire Merri4m very strong
also, and thought that Dakota county
would be solid for him in the state con
yentiOn. He went so far as to wager
box of cigars that if Merriam was NOM
mated he would be elected. He eulo-
gi.ed Senator Sabin, and a Saltwater
gentleman who overheard him, excited
ly remarked that,
Anything Mr.. Sabin wants of the
Republican party, he can have. He can
be his own successor in the senate if he
wills it. No senator from Minnesota
has ever made more brilliant record
than Mr.. Sabin."
The possibility of Knute Nelson's Sc
lection was pooh-poohed, as was also
the lntImation that Senator Davis had
fallen short of the expectations of his
friends. The gentlemen reyeled in
laudationS of Mr.. Sabin, and in that
happy pastime the GLOBE left them.

Hon. A. Biermann said yesterday in
discussing the proposed Cleveland
Thurman ticket:
mo stronger one coGd be named.
Thurman has good chance to carry
California, and L should Judge that he
is as popular and strong i'll Indiana as
Gray is"
The Fergus Falls Journal has the fol-
tn CriN 10
ocratic plans in the Fifth district:
1.-The scheme is to have an independ-
ent convention of low tariff and free
trade men meet at the same time and
place where the Democratic convention
will meet. Rev. Mr.. Nash is tn en- to be
placed in nomination by the low tariff
men and is to be indorsed by the Demo-
cratic convention, by which it is fondly
hoped, that the reverend gentleman
will be able to carry the Fifth district"
Mr.. Nash is so unqualified and able a
tariff refOrmer that this informa-
ton is not surprising. In st. Paul it is
learned that in no sense is he candi-
date for congress, but if the nomina-
ton were rendered him it is believed
that he would accept:
st. Paul Democrats appear to be all
at sea as to what is going to happen
after the delegation at St. Louis comes
home. Mr.. DoranS success has upset
great many opinions as to when the
state convention will be held and who
will be nominated. Secretary Miller
was asked point blank if the convention
would be called early. He replied very
discreetly that the question could only
be answered by the state central com
mittee. AS to the nominee, in ST. Paul
at least, the sentiment runs evenly be-
tween Eugene Wilson and Edmund
Rice. Neither can be considered an OPP
ponent to the other, for the reason that
the supporters of one are equally
friendly to the other. In the
hotel corridors yesterday and
among local politicians no talk
fol DR.. Ames could be heard, but it was
a dull day and the doctor is away. Mr..
Kelly's return to politics was the theme
for many amusing comments based upon
his recent declaration that he was out.
The general impression seemed to be
that this lapse was temporary. and only
to help out an old comrade.
Judge D. B. Searle, of the Seventh
judicial district. has received the high
compliment of being requested by the
united bar of his district to be candi-
date for election to the bench, he now
serving under an appointment made by
Gov. McGill. The Judge has accepted
the invitation and will stand.
