POLITICAL POINTERS.

few hours yesterday. They were
waiting for train to Princeton.
'Inotice the papers have placed me
in false light while 1 have been away
on the editorial excursion" observed
Mr.. Dunn to GLOBE reporter.
I'm what respects"
SWELL" he pursued, SIT has been
publ shed that l have entered into a
combination whereby either Flynn, of
Morrison county, OF Lee. of Todd
county, shall represent the Forty-sixth
legislative district in the state senate,
while am to be returned to the lower
a gross injustice, L am in no trade with
anyone, and, Furthermore, [ am
not candidate for any position
especially not until my constituents
shall have placed me in nomination. l
have never been an Office seeker, and do
not propose to become one at this time.
Morrison and Todd counties are each
much larger than Mile Laos, and it
would be very impolitic for me, there
fore, to attempt to arrange things for
the entire district. Morrison county
will doubtless cast it's vote for Mr..
FLYNN, while Mr.. Lee will have the sup
port of Todd county. What will be the
voice of Crow Wing or Mile Laos no
one can predict with certainty. By the
way" he continued, changing the topic.
''we have had most delightful excur-
sion trip. Washington is beautiful
place. but Chicago is the greatest city,
the metropolis of the country. Although
our trip has been most pleasurable, I
am delighted to get back to my native
heath once more"
L. P. Hunt, of Mankato, who passed
through the city yesterday en- route
he had quite an interview with Con-
gresham Hall while in Washington.
'Hall," said he, ''says he will not be-
come a candidate for reelection to his
present seat this fall unless the nomina-
ton is rendered him with considerable
unanimity He is conscious that the
district is pretty close, and doubts if
any Republican can carry it if he has to
contend with serious opposition in the
ranks of his own party.
81 cannot predict what will be the
outcome of the meeting of the alliance, I"
quoth Ignatius Donnelly in his chatty
style to a GLOBE reporter last night.
1.-The feeling elsewhere is in favor of
making straight nominations for all
positions" he resumed after mo-
ment's deliberation. 1.-The aim is to
demonstrate if possible that the alliance
is distinct and complete political Or
ganization. Here, however, there seems
to be large number among the men,

ticket. Still, / do not feel warranted in
predicting that the alliance will not de-
termine to place a full ticket in the
field. Indeed, | have been away for
some days and am not conversant
with the plans enough to speak def
nitely."
It was expected that at least some Of
the members would have arrived in the
city last night, ready for to-day's ses-
sion, but none came.
Joel P. Heatwole, of the Mortified
News, was in the city few minutes
yesterday, but he had nothing to offer
concerning his alleged candidacy for
lieutenant governor. AS the days pass
by the suspicion gains impetus that he

particular. 1t is intimated that he will
withdraw in favor of Hon. q. S. Ives,
and then measure strength with D. S.
Hall for the congressional nomination.
There is deal more in it, and it is rea-
sonable to suppose that the erudite
censor would prefer to go to congress.
The frequency with which the Pho

terry of the influence possessed by Con-
gresham Hall at Washington has ex-
cited no little comment, particularly
among politicians who have recently
been at the national capital. A st. Paul
man, who has just returned from
months visit to Washington, says: 81
cannot help noting the striking contrast
between Hall and his eompeers. When
the Pioneer Press correspondent allegas
that he yields mighty influence, he
amuses people who are familiar with his
impoteucy. As matter of fact, he cuts
a mighty small figure in congress-"
