St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-12-25

The hotels of large city usually pre-
sent very depleted appearance the day
before Christmas. Every man who has
a home or friends to whom he can go
and spend this great holiday is sure to
drop his business and embrace the OPP
pOrtunity. The hundreds of travelling
men who ''make" st. Paul during the
year are hardly represented at the ho-
tells to-day. The politicians who will
sWoop down upon the capital
city next week are. to-day en-
enjoying a Christmas at home without
even thought of the exciting expert
ences before many of them. Naturally
enough, with the politicians and the
drummerS absent, such centers as the
Merchants, the Clifton, the Clarendon
and the Ryan are bound 10 have scaht
registers. and this is exactly what all of
then. had yesterday. Notwithstanding
all this. however, each of these
hotels will do itself proud in the
way of serving a Christmas dinner
to-day. This subject so dear to the
heart of Eugene MebI, of the Ryan, has
engaged his attention for the week last
past. and the bill that will be presented
TO the patrons of the Ryan this after
noon is a masterpiece in its way. At
the Merchants no particular endeavor
has been made 10 Guido former attempts
i'm this line. Messrs. Hopes Il Gorham.
of the Clifton, have prepared
giant. while Col. Monfort, of the
Windsor. has been devoting three hours
q day since Thanksgiving to making
preparations for to-day'S spread. At
the Clarendon Foley Bros. will lay
spread that will make them solid with
their patrons for long time.
The only politicians who will dine at
the Merchants to-day hail from North
Dakota, and they are here because their
bones are too far away TO be reached.
Among those in the city are: Senator
BaYley Fuller, of Jamestown: Senator
sJud La M0ure, OF Pembna; Alex Nc
KenzIe, of Bismarck: Secretary of State
John Flittie, OF Bismarck; Senator John
& Haggart, OF Fargo; Col. G. A. Louns-
berry, of Bismarck; W. II. Kellogg, of
,JameStoWn; j. NJ. Edgerly. of Bis
marck. Senator Fuller will go north i'll
the morning and Senator La Moure
some time during the day.
Senator Fuller. vi jamestown, is the
gentleman against whom Gov. Miller
and his cohorts waged such vigorous
war last fall and VINO was trlumphautly
reelected in spite 'Of this Opposition.
Like Mckenzie, LA MouTe. Haggert.
Robinson, and others OF the liberal eie-
ment in the Republican party of North
Dakota, Mir. Fuller is big-hearted,
generous man, whose popular
iry is not bounded by the
limits of his district. While he knew
nothing about the senatorial election
for publication. he is one of those who
tern nf
new state ought to have one of the
United States senators, and accord
5ngly he is all anti-Pierce man. He is
accompanied on this trip by Editor w.
r. Kellogg. of tie jamestown Alert.
T. NJ. March. zeal estate man from
Pierre. dropped into the city yesterday,
leaving in the evening for Glencoe,
where he will spend Christmas.
Col. G. A. Lounsoerry, of Bismarck,
n. d.. shook hands with a host of
friends in and around the Clifton yes
terday. 81
The speakership contest was waged
with considerable vigor around the
hotels yesterday, and the scheniers who
are behind the business organization"
scheme are beginning TO show their
corporations have decided that neither
a Democrat nor all Alliance man shall
have the making up of the committees
of the next legislature if cash can pre-
vent it. The governorship was saved
by scant majority" remarked man
on the inside yesterday, The senate is
secure through Gid" Ives. and now do
you sup OSe that the Republicans pro-
pose 10 loose cOntrOlof the lower house?
Not if it costs a hundred thousand dol
lars. know of one railway company
that WuulG not have an Alliance man
elected for S25,00U. l his COLL
pany is hand-ln-glove with the
fellows who are advocating the
scheme of business organization, aud,
jndeeu. think they are using railroad
money now. The Alliance will bust up
OH the 3Oth of this month unless all
signs fail, and then their forces will di-
vide. l tell you that with the cash these
