morrow tie spent yesterday Ill chi
cago. but will leave the Windy City of
omnipresent smoke this evening. Mir.
Winston's friends have been quietly ar
ranging a reception to him which is eX-
pected to be an event. A banquet will
follow the reception. 1t will not be an
exclusive, formal affair. but purely
Democratic, as beftting Mr.. Winston's
politics and tastes. All details for the
reception have not. as yet, been az
ranged, but they will be perfected to-
day and announced tomorrow morning.
The approach of Mr.. Winston's return
naturally again arOuseS the tagging Cos
sip about the appointments which he
will make, and the first few hours spent
by him in Minneapolis will undoubtedly
convince him that he never showed bet
ter Judgment than when he went away
soon after election TO escape the annoy
anceS which he knew were coming in
the way of opportunities for place and
preferment.
In so far as the Office of chief of police
is concerned it is the general opinion,
now frequently expressed. that Maj. r.
Il. Henderson will occupy the leather
cushioned chair i'll front Of the roll top
desk in police headquarters. Cloutier's
friends still hope for the best, however.
and point to his services during the
campaign and his warm friendship for
Winston, he having been made char
man of the city committee in COM
pliance with Mr.. Winston'S desire, for
the faith that is in them. The mayor
elect has not so far as known, divuiged
his Intentions regarding the places at
his disposal, but Il guess Henderson is
the man," is what men who should
know whereof they cackle, and it is
generally received among Democrats
as Shrewd guess.
Then there is the mayors clerkship
to be disposed of. These same men
who aver that Henderson will be chief
of police give it as their opinion that f.
g. HOlbrOok can be mayors clerk, pro-
viding his inclinations run in that
groove. But there is another man
connection with the 'sit" under the
mayors eye, and that is sphinx-like Ed
a. Stevens. Stevens will, il is said, have
one OF the two places. mayors clerk or
chief of the department of inspectors,
the place now held by Fred George.
This is all rumOr, mind, but it is rumor
which has its source not very far aWav
from the throne. However, no rumOrs
are absolutely infallible, and it is pos
Sible that Mr.. Winston has never
thought of making one of these appoint
ments. If he hasn't, it goes still fur
ther to show that he knows how to keep
his own council.

Thomas W. Scott returned from
Washington yesterday, leaving behind
him e. NJ. Foote, who will return to-
morrow with Mr.. Winston. ''Tom' saws
he never had better time than he did
In Washington. He and F0ote received
the best entertainment that the capital
eity afforded. He had the pleasure of
shaking the hand of Mckinley and con-
graduating him upon his success as an
aid to the cause of Democracy,
and he also enjoyed luncheon with Baby
Mckee and his grandfather. Mr.. Scott
also renewed his acquaintanceship, with
Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, and.
from what he heard and saw, he be-
lleves that Mills will make a strong
fight for the speakership. Mr.. Scott
hasn't word to say about the result of
his conversation with Mayor-elect Win
ston. He says that he went East for
pleasure, and, as Mr.. Winston will be
home tomorrow, he prefers to say
nothing about the mayors intentions,
as any other action would be violation
of confidence.
Christmas turnkey with cranberry
sauce and plum pudding are stronger
attractions to defeated congressman
than all the affairs of state or political
wire-pulling. Hence s. +. Snider came
home yesterday morning in company
with Thomas Scott. He hasn't much to
say about politics, but he is willing to
talk on some points. Speaking of the
new congressional apportionment, he
said that. after protracted discussion
OF the matter in committee, it
was decided that it would be
a dangerous thing to open up
the question any farther than it had
been. 1t was feared that if the matter
was taken up. and New York, Mime
sofa and Arkansas we're given new con-
gresSmen on their excess of population
over the regular apportiOnment, it
might open mp the whole question IN a
way that would be dangerous. Capt.
Snider settled one point-aS to the date
when new congressman would take
their seats. They will not be allowed
to have vote in congress until they are
sworn in, March 4, 1891.
Ever since the will of the people, as
recorded on the tally sheets of the coun-
Gil canvassing committee, decided that

ecutive of Minneapolis for at least two
years, DR.. ID. j. Burrell has ever and
anon assured his cOnferreeS in the minis
try that the incoming administration
will be all right. and such an admins
tratlon as will meet with the indorse-
ment of the gentlemen of the cloth. Yet
he denies most emphatically that he has
ever spoken with Mr.. Winston, nor
will he admit that any delegation of
ministers purposes calling upon the
mayor-eiect with reference to his pol
icy. His faith, evidently. is the result
of an inner consciousness. Nor will he
believe that Mr.. Winston will tolerate
any ''back door, business Sunday. As
to Mr.. WinSton's policy in general he
says, not forgetting to work IN per-
sOnal fling" this:
IL don't believe that Mr.. Winston
ever told anybody that be intends to
have the back doors of the saloons open
on Sunday. l can only express my per-
sonal opinion-for l have never spoken
word with Mayor Winston concerning
the matter-whenI say that l think he
will give us clean, business admiuis-
tratlon. He is, at any rate, not likely
to call halt on his chief of police when
the latter proposes to enforce the law.
MIR. Winston is Democrat,and, as such,
will have to contend against the world,
the flesh and the devil as represented in
the lower half of his party. If he under
takes to compromise with the Ames-
Glenn crowd he is lost. Whether or no
he will give US good administration is
purely question of sand If he sue
ceeds he will, in my Judgment, have
more hope of political preferment at the
hands of the best citizens than any
other man. Democrat, or Republican. in

like to see him succeed, and meanwhile

age and support him."

The appointment of a new chief OF
police for the city of Minneapolis has
aroused so much excitement that it has
set several members of the Hennepin
to thinking real hard. These men who
are doing the thinking are reformers in
the full sense of the word. They care
