Work of the Alliance Men.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Jan. 1S.-For several days
past there have been whisperings here
and there of a perfected combination
in the council to depose President Slim
mel and reorganize that body. 1t is
said to consist of the nine members who
composed the Washabaugh party in til @
recent contest, and five others who voted
for the present chairman, not that they
loved Washabaugh, less but their own
bacon more. Wednesday morning, be-
tween and o'clock, gentleman who
receives considerable of the credit and
bears much of the blame for the organi-
cation of the Stimmel movement, in a
moment of confidence and recklessness
of speech for which an evening of con-
vivial social intercourse was RESPONSE
BILE, offered to bet basket of champagne
that a new president would be in the
chair before adjournment Tuesday even
ing. Your correspondent questioned
the gentleman that afternoon, when he
was as
SOBER AS AN ENGINEER
and cautious as a money lender, con-
corning the matter, and for reply re-
ceived the statement that if he knew of
any one who wished to accept the bet to
send him around. This is all the COM
binatIon manufacturer would say.
There is something in the wind, but just
what it is will probably not be definite
ly known until the hurricane passes by
and the resulting ruins are carefully
examined by experts.
The only two

both in the council. Mr.. Lowery, the
representative and forcible reminder of
the age of Clay and Webster, wears one
because, when he was young buck,
half-century agOne, nothing else was
quite the thing-and there can be no
improvement on the customs Of
that perfect, happy past. The other
adorns the vigorous young form of Mr..
HALEY, who evidently had it left over
from Washington season ten or
dozen years ago, and is taking this OPP
pOrtunity to wear it out. He wouldn't
dare to appear at home in any apparel
not the very latest.
Mr.. Partridge, of Grant, is one of the
members of the house who wears
TIE ALLIANCE BRAND
in the cut of his whiskers, through
which none of the breezes emanating
from Tie SICK TdllIOdu lOUDylSUS VIII DG
allowed to blow. His chief occupation
is keeping his bill file in order, and
greatest cause of unhappiness the diff
ticulty encountered in making the Bis
marck Tribune fold so as to fit q No. ~
envelope. He is dignified to the limit,
and appears wise.
One of the conspicuous characters al
ways to be seen on the floor of the house
is S. j. Conklin, secretary Of the judi
ciary committee. He publishes paper
with agricultural tendencies somewhere
down in South Dakota, which he calls
Conklin's Dakotan. The name of this
layout looks just like the proprietor.
He is radical in his views, combative
and noisy.in their PRONUNCIATION, and has
enough sense to
DO THE RAILROADS
considerable good, if the alliance doesn's
call him off. Somebody was saying the
other day that he had made record for
himself down in Wisconsin.
John III. Patten, of Miner, has won
the title of dictator of the council, and
does not appear to be averse to be con-
sidered such in fact. 1t is a rumor OF
the lobby that if he is not careful he
will go too far and cause the corpora
tions to buck him instead of capitulat-
ing-but sheol, you can't believe what
that gang says. ALLENNoc.
