The Senate Held a Lone
Hand Meeting Last q
Night.

The senatorial caucus joint commit
tee of the house and senate postponed
its meeting from last evening until this
afternoon at o'clock, when it will I'M
doubtedly be held. The call for the
caucus will set the time for either
Wednesday or Thursday evening of this
week. The Sabin men are anxious that
caucus should be held, while the
Washburne faction have changed
their song of last week and are
now wishing for free fight. The Pho
neer Press editorial Of yesterday on
the caucus eXasperated the Washburn
men, they claiming that it put them in
false position, since caucus was not
what they desired SO much as free-for
all. AS to the reports of internecine
war in the WaShDurn camp over the
caucus question, Bob Evans came out
with the statement lsst night:
ssIt's id lien
Joel Heatwole has wagered VIII Has
kell 500 that Washburn will not be
elected, and S. LoWeDstein has made
two wagerS of $50 each that Sabin will
win.
Senator Henry Kellar, of Sank Center,
arrived at the Merchants last evening,
accompanied by Mrs. Kellar. Of tie
Stone letter On Sabln, he said:
after reading the article over am of
the opinion that it is an outrage. D. M.
Sabin was one of the first to invite the
capital from the other side Of the Al
leghenieS into Minnesota. This money
did not go into his own pocket, but was
placed in manufactures and labor at
home. The railroads received their
share in carrying the famous thresbers
to the farmer, who used them On his
wheat. The maker of the pillow shoes
Mr.. Gotzian; the overall maker, Mr..
Burbank, and all the others received the
money due them for their work,
Farmers paper not worth the
mitten. He could imagine himself to
be worth a million, and yet not have a
cent. call ID. NJ. Sabin not only a
manufacturer, but a benefactor. And
every one in this state whose safe con-
tains farmers paper can sympathiZe
with Mr.. Sabin. The st. Paul Harves-
ter works labored hard to exist, and no
one criticised the gentlemen who lost
money in it. And how about the ST.
Paul Plow works? These are parallel
cases with Mr.. Sabin's. 81
1.-THE banking business is one of the
finest in the Northwest, and the man
(Stone) who wrote that letter failed as a
banker at Devils Lake. and bought
his bank, fixtures, counter and safe in
another bank at Grand Forks. think
it unseemly and wrong for Mr.. Stone to
come out with such letter (after his
own failures), attacking brother bust
ness man." -
Hon. John A. Willard, of Mankato,
one of the weaIthiest business men OF
Southern Minnesota, is at the Mer-
chants. He said yesterday of the WASH
burn attempts to misrepresent the Sabin
sentiment in Blue Earth county: IS
Representative Lasso,0f that county,
desiring to receive instructions from
his constituents as to how he should
vote in the senatorial fight, went home
Saturday and called a meeting in Nc
PherSon township for Monday morning.
I was invited to attend, and did so with
Thomas Hughes, of Mankato. There
were from rs to 100 present. more than
one-half of whom previously had eX-
pressed sentiments favorable to Wash
burn. When the meeting began Mr..
Lasso said that inaSmuch as Mr..
Hughes and myself represented Sabin,
he would present Washburn's side of
the case. He did SO, and 1 think
as we'll as the general could
have done it himself. We then gave
Mr.. Sabin's side, after which Mr.. Lasso
said to the farmers present that he de-
sired to have them vote as to which of
the two candidates they preferred, so
that he might have an authoritative
guide for action. The vote was taken
by the Sabin men taking one side of
the room and the Washburn men the
other. There were just three votes for
Washburn and the rest were for
Sabin. To-day in Mankato there are
not over four prominent Republicans
who are Washburn men,"

Congressman-elect Thomas FL. Carter,
of Montana, and Col. McNaught, of the
Northern Pacific road, called Oh Sena-
tor Sabin last night. Mr.. Carter is Ell
route to Washington for visit. He is
like all other Montanians, strongly in
favor of admission.
The Sabin men will open additional
headquarters at the Ryan to-day in
rooms 10s and ITO. They will be in
cIdiRt VI hui. 10 ~. L ~ llus

The house committee on rules met
last night, and after some debate, re-
1887, with the addition of prison labor
committee and the division of the f.
nance committee into two-one of ways
and means to provide sources of rev.
enue for the state, and one of appropri-
atoms to look after state institutions
and other public enterprises. The
trouble over committee clerkShipS
arose from Representative Benson's
opposition to granting any clerkshipS
except as committees needed them, and
then to date their pay from the time of
their employment and not from the
opening of the session. There was also
a proposition to cut down the clerks
salaries from SIS to So day. This mat
ter. while not fully settled, will prob
ably be adjusted by return to thel
methods of the session of 1887, and pre-
viOuS ones to that. No material change
is made in the house rules. the only,
hitch in the committees work having
been over the clerkships and the di-
vision of the finance committee.

as that Sabin was out of the field,
