CORRIDOR CHAT.

j. DycksOn, of WinOna, were talking In
the Clifton last night about Eugene
Hays appointment to the post of United
States district attorney. Henry Johns
came up and offered to bet new hat
that Hay would not be appointed. Mr..
Dyekson promptly accepted ssl sdn,a the ,oI;t Pct.
cal party as President Harrison, but
think he has sufficient sand to appoint
a friend of his to any Office he wants in
spite of all opposition. If were in his
place and wanted to appoint Hay, ]
would tell those who objected to 60
plumb to the devil"
~
But" suggested the attorney gen.
eral, 'sif Harrison had intended to ap-
point Hay right along, and had never
intended to consult the wishes of the
senators in the matter, why did he not
give it out cold in the beginning that
Hay was to be the man? By so doing
he would have saved bay the mortitica-
ton of seeing petitions from the legis-
lature, in which he was member, in
favor of one of his opponents from the
most prominent citizens of Minneapolis
protesting. and protest from one OF the
Senator's"
81 blame HARRISON" said Mr.. Dyck-
son, ''for his action in that respect, but
still Hay is his friend, and ne will be
president has the sand give him credit
for"
Capt. Saunders and E. A. McNair, of
Duluth, were sitting together in the
Merchants yesterday recalling the good
old times when they were young fell
lows Ill Davenport, To-, and in st. Paul.
Many were the stories told of the great
times of those days, and many We're the
"reminiscences called up by this meet
ing of two friends from boyh0Od.

A curious case of mistaken identity
occurred yesterday. The Wisconsin
Central agents announced yesterday
that Mr.. Morgan, Of Drexel, Morgan &
Co., bankers, New York. was at the
Ryan, having arrived over their line in
the morning. On the Ryan register
were the names of two Morgans occu-
pying two of the best rooms in the
hotel. Accordingly reporters. bankers
and other prominent men proceeded to
cali upon these gentlemen. They were
asked about the financial situation and
other interesting topics, but from their
answers it became apparent that it was
a case of 'snot the same." They are
prominent citizens of Dwight, ILL.,. TAX
ing pleasure trip to the Pacific coast,
but are not connected with the cele-
brated firm of bankers.
<*
Glanclng over the registers at the
hotels from day to day, few interest
ing facts become very apparent. The
finest rooms in the Ryan. those from s.
a day upwards, are almost invariably
occupied by men from Montana. The
Ryan is also the favorite house for trav-
cling men, who nearly always want a
room with bath. All the old settlers
20 to the Merchants. DakotianS usual
ly patronize the latter. which is also the
favorite of the legislators. Saltwater
and other ladies from neighbOring
towns, who come into town to do shop
ping. nearly all take dinner at the Mer-
chants. The Clifton catches the con-
ventionS and annual blow-outs of secret
societies, such as the MasOnS, Grand
Army and others, but the bulk of its
rooms are occupied by regular boarders.
Travelling men, wherever they go, in
sist upon good room not too high up,
and are favored guests. as they have a
habit of spending money literally. Few
hotels are anxious to get theatrical
troupes, especially at this time of the
year, saying that they always want
cheap rooms and spend very little money
in the house.
