TWO STRONG KICKS.

"Since when did st. Paul and Min
AeapoIis become so overwhelmingly
Republican," queried a Second district
Republican politician TO a little group
which were gathered together III the
Merchants yesterday. II notice., ne
continued, THAT Senator Washourn was
interviewed in Washington yesterday,
and actually gave out such rot as this,
reading from morning paper:
agree with Senator Davis on The geanral
proposition of recognizing the state at large
outside of ST. Paul and Minneapolis, although
these cities with their tremendous Repuol-
can majoritieS, ought to have some rights
that white men are bound TO respect
Il should like to know upon what
Senator WaShburn bases such re-
mark" continued the Second district
man, ''for its a well-known faet tnat
the Second and Fifth districts are the
only reliable Republican districts IN the
state. st. Paul is now and always has
been Democratic by a good majority,
while of late years Minneapolis has been
deucedlv uncertain politically. Why,
ii hasn't been very long since Mime
apolis had a Democratic city govern
nent and WAS represented in congress
by a Democrat; and, by the way, I'M
less some wOuld-be Republican leaders
are depoSed pretty soon, the same state
OF things will happen again. Here IS the
Second district, always good Tor from
10000 to 12.OOO Republican majority,
and vet Senator WaShburn thinks
we're entitled to nothing. The same
state of things exists in the Sixth dis
trict. Just look up the election returns
of 1886. and see what districts are over
whelmingly Republican,
The Scandinavian Republicans are
considerably exercised over Senator
Davis compromise, and are making a
great deal of noise. Yesterday one or
the most prominent OF them. VINO, by
the Way. is now holding down good
fat office. gave out the following:
Senator Davis grand bid for Scandl-
navian support does not seem TO have
kindled into flames of admiration the
wounded affections of the sons OF the
North. While demanding the recogni-
ton which the senator at this late date
comedies, (he having at first tiat-footediy
denied the prOpriety of allotting more
than one of the senatorial plumS to this
element. they also assert as their pre-
negative the privilege of naming their
candidates. There is deal of hard
kicking going on among them over the
names proposed by Senator Davis. The
NorWegians look with distruSt upon
Stevenson. whom they regard as moth
Ing but a renegade Democrat. he hay-
ing figured as such ali his life until he
turns up in CTOOkSton a new-baked Re
publican. They peer through the
thin game of that charming mantle
of 'Staunch RepubiicaniSm' which the
senior senator sees fit to throw around
him, and some of the old wheel horses

that room might be made for such
doubtful timber in the erection of the
Republican fort. Among the SWedes,
again. there is great crashing of teeth.
They are wild in their wrath, Objecting

representative. and have unanimously

tons. and in the columns of their press.
urged Capt. OSbOrn'S appointment as
collector. They seem greatly put out,
and promise deal Of fun ahead. It's
hard luck indeed for the great senior
senator to attempt TO be SO magnani-
nous and gain SO little acknowledgment
for if: but then Cush, in all mis- bril-
iaucy, is dull politician, and will evil
IDENTITY succeed most gloriously in set
ting all the factions at war"
This is rather bold talk from the
Scandinavians, who have been so long
considered as belonging bag and bag
gage to the Republican party, and
shows that there's trouble ahead for the
Republican politicians, Let the good
fight 90 merrily on.
Frank A Flower. one of Superior's
real estate huStlerS, was in st. Paul
yesterday. Mr.. Flower is enthusiastic
over the prospects of his city, nd.being
a good business man, deyOtes consider
able time to eXpatiating upon its rising
glories."
Col. J. j. Crowley. special supervis-
ing agent of the treasury department,
with headquarters at Chicago. was at the
Windsor yesterday. The colonel is one
of the haudsOmeSt men in the service,
and. while he is one of CleVeland's ap-
pointees, MS official record is so good
that the present administrator is 10th
to remove him.
