The Minneapolis & st. Louis passes

grants were valuable. Unfavorable
legislation was to be checked; congress
men friendly to their interests could
count upon their support: Strait appre-
clated the situation. He became the
strongest congressman in the state. His
power was absolute. | can remember
when the Democrats held their district
convention. in 1884, that in going out we
passed carload of beer. Some one
asked who that was for. Inquiry re-
vealed that 1t came to the
section hands of the Hastings &
Dakota from the Republican candidate
for congress. In the history of the state
there never was congressional district
so thoroughly boSS-ridden as the Third.
In 1882 and 1884 signs of revolt became
apparent. Strait offended some Repub-
lIcanS and good many began to think
that he had been there
LONG ENOUGH.
In the last named year Albert TruaX,
OF Hastings, sought the Republican
nomination as against Strait, but was
defeated. In 1886 Strait quietly in
formed his friends that he would not be
candidate for denomination, and in an
indirect way limited that Democratic
success was to be expected. He stepped
down and out. The rest of the history

SUPERIOR, Wis, June 27.-Another
Jail delivery, which nearly resulted in
the destruction of the Jail building by
fire and the death of the nightwatch-
man, occurred last night about mid
night. One of the three prisoners con-
fined in the corridor cell asked the
watchman to be allowed to step out for
a minute, feigning to require fresh air.
The watchDan consented, supposlng
the other prisoners in the cell to be
asleep. The door was no sooner un-
locked than the three men dashed out
and Overpowered the watchman, whom
they beat into insensibility and gagged.
They then attempted to set fire to the
building by overturning an oil lamp,
but the blaze was eXtinguiShed by vag
prisoner before much damage was done.
The men made their escape before the
police could be alarmed, and as yet
nothing has been heard of them. Their
names are Spot, Murphy and White.
The first named two are notorious GRIM
inals and were serving long terms for
numerous crimes. and White had just
been removed from Minnesota Oh a
requisition and was serving out term

RED WING, June 27.-Internecine
strife is state of affairs under which
Goodhue county Republicans flourish.
Their pet grievance now is Gov. McGill
and the reform school. Red Wing will
cherish forever the bitterest kind of re-
sentiment against him for the failure of
the reform school to be located there.
This one point alone would
cause him to lose the delegation
to the state convention. Gen.
Jennison has turned warrior and de-
votes his entire time to belaboring Nc
Gill through his paper. Jennison'S
hostility is so great that l would not be
surprised to see him bolt the ticket if
McGill comes out on top. Gen. Cross
has made it appear at various times that
the county was for Merriam, but this is
untrue. They tell me here that the
delegation will support Scheffer. Albert
has made visit here and is quite popu-
lar among the Scandinavians.
Among other curious political gossip
heard to-day was that Judge Rea has
said that he would like the Fourth dis
trict Republican nomination for con-
gress, if he was not the commander OF
the G. A. r. Also, that Albert Scheffer
said when here, that the Republican
platform of Chicago was likely to cause
Minnesota to go Democratic. Further
more, that Gen. Sanborn is personal
friend of Gen. Harrison's, and, that
while he would support the nominees,
he repudiated the platform. L struck
some Democrats that want Knute Nell
son nominated for governor by the
Democrats, and then sent to the United

beck. of Litchfield; ex-senator Green
leaf, of the same place, and Joel Heat

hardly refuse the nomination, either, if
it came to him on silver platter. The
candidacy of none of them is taken Sc
riously, every one thinking that the

Strait. The Goodhue men who were for

CAMP LAKE VIEW, Mimi. June 27.-
To-day at Camp Lake View was broken
by an early rain storm, but nOtwith-

battalion and skirmish drills were exc
cuted. The officer of the day was Capt.
d. F. Goodrich, of Company II, Blue
Earth City; the senior officer of the
guard, Lieut.. James Omane, of Com
pany l, Superior, and junior officer of
the guard, Lieut.. A. W. Wright,
of Company &, Austin. The
sham battle occurred at o'clock
this afternoon, and was witnessed
by a large assemblage of people from
Lake City and other towns. The at
tacklng party was commanded by Lieut..
Col. Meade, of Mankato, and the camp
defense by Col. BObletter. The battle
was chiefly in skirmish lines, and was
hOtlY contested and ably maneuyered.
Some admirable evoiutions were made
by the skirmiSh lines. The dress parade
held at z o'clock this evening was the
finest showing yet made in camp and
demonstrates the wonderful improve
ment made during the encampment.
At evening guard mounting, Capt.
NJ. j. Roskoff, of Company A,
New Ulm, was officer of the
day, Lieut.. Ira Padden, of Company g,
Austin, senior officer of the guard, and
Lieut.. G. III. Robinson, of Company E,

The reception rendered the Second reg

Zens of Lake City was grand success,
and so highly pleased were the officers
that they will give complimentary re-
ception to the ladies and gentlemen of
the city tomorrow evening. Prepara-
tions are making for very nice occa-
sion and an elegant menu is being pre-
pared. The encampment is proving one
of the most successful the regiment has
ever held.

the really gifted speaker wandered from

dience with him. At times he tried to
start little political enthusiasm, but
the same two dozen hands alone awolze
the echoes and he gave up in despair.
