SAINT PAUL.
CORRIDOR CHITs.

While there was not a great deal OF
political gossip around the hotels yes
terday, there were a number of we'll
known state politicians on hand. Hon.
Dan w. Bruekart, the popular st. Cloud
lawyer and ex-member of the Repub-
lican state central committee, came on
from the East, reaching st. Paul late in
the afternoon and going Oh to his home
in the evening. MIR. Bruckart has been
reereating in the mountains of Penn
sylvania for the past two months and
now looks as rosy and fresh as though
he had been resting for a year. Il was
present at the commencement eXer-
cises of Lafayette" he said, land met a
number of my classmates whom l had
not seen for nineteen years. Of course
l had jolly time, but it was so very
warm that | made up my mind that
would never make another trip East III
the heated season."
On being asked why he had declined
to serve on the new Republican state
central committee Mr.. Bruckart said:
"While like such positions as much as
any man can, found that my business
would not permit me to spend the time
/ ought to in the work of the campaign.
l shall, of course, make few speeches
and do what | can in the course of the
coming campaign, but it was generally
understood that could not enter Into
the active work of the state committee"
Another prominent figure in the lobby
of the Merchants yesterday was G. ID.
Baker, of Fergus Falls. Charlie" has
little to say on politics this year owing
to the fact that he is running big
horse ranch in Montana, and is obliged
to spend the greater portion of his time
there. His comments on the out
look for the grazing business in
Montana are interesting. Il think we
shall dispose OF our horses" he said,
''aS soon as we can. The fact is that
the grass Oh the range is fast playing
out. | believe that the bunch and Buff
falo grass which grows there must be
allowed to 60 10 seed. OF it will soon dis
appear. When it is kept gnaWed close
it has no chance to do this, and it is
only matter OF time until some new
arrangement will have to be made or
the big cattle and horse companies will
have to stop business"
H. l.. Niedringhaus, of st. Louis,
brother Of Congressman Niedringhaus
OF that city, is at the Merchants.
ID. j. O'COnnell, the enterprising ed
itor of the Steele County Democrat. of
Owatonna, is in the city, and guest of
the Clarendon. Mr.. O'Connell is one of
the brightest pencil pusherS in the state,
and has succeeded in making his paper
one of the brightest in the state. although
it is comparatively yOungster as far
as age is concerned.
Hon. Charles c. Rice, of Miles City,
Mont, is registered at the Merchants.
Col. Rice is one of the largest wool
growers in his state, and during the
last two or three winters has fed many
thousands of sheep in Minnesota cities
like Fergus Falls where feed is cheap
and convenient to get. While Miles
City is little quiet, Mr.. Rice says that
the sheep business is looking frst-rate.
Hon. Charles G. W. Wilson, the dis
tinguished Rochester attorney, who has
been favorably mentioned as possible
Democratic nominee for congress in the
First district, was IN the city yesterday
on his way to Yellowstone park. On
being questioned in regard to his can
didacy, Mr. Wilson said: II would
under no circumstances accept nomi-
nation for congress, nor certificate of
election, were it offered to me. Judge
Wilson does not desire the nomination
for congress, as he stated in his
letter, but [ believe he will be the
unanimous nominee of the district con-
veDtion, Notwithstanding his declina-
ton. The people want him to make the
race, and I think he is the strongest
man in the district by long odds. and he
ought to he persuaded to make the race.
However, as for me, say that l could
not. under any circumstances, be in
duced 10 accept either the nomination
or an election
