The election returns already in make
1t certain that future sessions OF the
legislature will be ninety days in
length. The coming session OF 1889 will
extend from January to April 4. The
constitutional amendment to that effect,
and which was voted upon Tuesday
week, has received a considerable ma
iority, more because the people paid no
attention to the bottom Of their tickets
than from conviction. The professional
politicians are very well satisfied with
the result. 1t adds $3.50 salary to that
already received by each member of the
legislature. and will be of much finan-
cial importance to the officers OF TIE
legislature. AS to The fate of the other
constitutional amendments voted upon,
but little appears to be known and
probably will not be until the official
count takes place.
BUCHANAN ON SABIN.
Senator Buchanan, while at the Mer-
chants yesterday, said:
81 wish to deny emphatically the re-
port that Senator Sabin is not a candi-
date for reelection. He is in the field
to stay. and will not get out OF 1t until
the question is decided. A warm, earn
est fight is being made for his renOml-
nation on the merits of his past service
in congress and his right to second
term. His name will be presented at
the opening of the senatorial fight, and
we propose to stay right with him.
Sabin has made good senator and
there is no valid reason why he should
not he reelected. He will have a
strong following when the ball begins
to roll, and hope to see him succeed"
MORE CANDIDATES..
The avoWed or eXpecting-to-be candi-
dates for speaker of the house are now:
Morrson-J. G. Flynn.
Watonwan-W. r. Estes.
Freeborn-D. T. Morgan.
ST. Louise. II. Graves.
d. F. Morgan is already actively at
work. He is bright enough to make
capital officer and with the young Re
publicans of the state behind him,
enjoying fair prospects OF success. HIS
ability as politician has been demon
strated, so that he will be something
more than silent factor in the contest:
Col. Graves is pushing matters, TOO, and
has made unexpected Roadway. IL. f.
Stevens. of Ramsey, said to friend
Yesterday that he would not be candi-
date for speaker.
For clerk of the house Robert Deakin
is candidate. Mr.. Deakin, from 1877
TO 1885 was first assistant of the clerk.
He is we'll posted on the conduct OF
legislative business. Several important
delegations have already pledged him
their support. 1t is reported, but not
confirmed, that Fred l.. Warner. OF
Redwood Falls, will be a candidate for
clerk Mr.. Warner was q prime favor
lite two years ago as first assistant 10
Clerk Howard.
SENATORIAL. COMPLICATIONS.
ian some way Or other it has leaked out
that Mr.. Merriam, the Pioneer Press,
and the political crowd that surrounds
both are not particularly interested IN
MIR. ,Sabin's reelection, and altogether
opposed to Washburn's selection. They
won't have Knute Nelson and Donneliy
is nuisance to them. In consequence
it has become necessary for them to in
Stitute search for new candidate, ana
this is what they are doing. AS one OF
them said yesterday.
I'VE shall have him within week,
and his name will surprise YOU"
Who this mysterious parsonage Will
be conjecture sayetlsnot. He may come
from the supreme court bench, or be
John a. Lovely(?). Perhaps it is Ramsey
or Freeman, or (aha, we have lt?) Stan
ford Newell. Is it Wheelock OF the
office cat? Have Gilman or Scheffer
been forgiven? VIII it be c. K. Davis,
for senior senator and w. r. Merriam
Junior? The gods are silent-Minne-
sofa will suspend business and wait
until she knows.
