operation, the public generally had
shown a willingness to support tile

CAUGHT ON THE CORNERS.
Mai. H. 8. Strait came up from Shak-
opee yesterday for the first time since
his Eastern trip. On being asked what
the indications were for the appoint
ment of the United States district attor-
ney, he replied: $50 far as l can see.
it is certain to go to Eugene M. Hay. Ii
deadlock should take place between
the two senator's, which seems certain,
President Harrison will take the bull
by the horns and appoint Hay. The
at Indianapolis, "Had it not been for
Hay, should have been United States
senator instead of president" ''How
was that?" l asked. Gen. Harrison re-
piled: "Hay was going to leave In
| diana few years ago. l wanted him
to stay, and 60 to the legislature. Had
he done so should have been elected
to the senate, and should not have been
president Of the I'm tied States"

E.. A. McNair is at the Merchants.
Mr.. McNair is one of the old settlers at
the head of the lake, having gone there
when it was necessary to drive from
Hinckley. All this time he has been a
Democrat among crowd of rabid Re
publicans. When it comes to cOnvinc-
ing man that Duluth is the greatest
place on earth, Mr.. McNair takes the
cake. With him it is Duluth first, last
and all the time and he allows no OPP
portunity to slip to interest men Ct
means in the town. Last fall he coil-
tributed literally to the Democr attic
campaign fund and was instrumental
in starting campaign paper. Hesis
now on his way home from visit to his
3,OO0-acre farm in Dakota, where lie
says everything is looking magnificent,
with prospects for good crops. He will
take in the sale of cattle at j. j. Hills
farm to-day and return to Duluth to-

From advices received yesterday from
Washington, it is now conceded that
Eugene M. Hay is to be United States
district attorney. j. A. Tawney, of
Winona, and Henry Johns, both Of
whom were candidates for the position,
both having strong Endorsements, and
claiming to be second choice of the sem
ators, threw up the sponge last evening:
Il concede. Hays nomination." said
Henry Johns. Mr.. Tawney made the
same remark, and crowd of young Re-
publicans standing around made re.
marks to the following effect: sit will
kill the Harrison wing of the party in
Minnesota" HE has only been three
years in the state;;'' shameful piece of
nepotism;" Appointed in direct oppO-
sitIon to Senator Davis wishes;;" 'sAnd
ignoring his earnest protest." Such
were the remarks of the Disguised
young Republicans. Major Straits
conversation on the same subject con-
firms the truth of this, and the major
has just returned from Washington,
where it is said he was working for an
other man. The general opinion among
Ramsey county Republicans seems to be
that it is a most unfortunate appoint
ment, but of course Hennepin men are
correspondingly jubilant over it, though
the statement is freely made that j. S.
Pillsbury has solemnly protested at an
unknown man who has been only three
years in the state being given a place
worth about $1,000 a year.
