CORRIDOR GOSSIP.


CORRIDOR GOSSIP.
Since the adjournment of the Repub-
lican convention the hotels have been
dropping back into their normal condi-
tions, much to the satisfaction of the
permanent guests of the different
houses. 1t is now possible for a guest
to reach the clerks desk of even the
Merchants without eIbowing through a
crowd of noisy politicians. The rush
was great, but there was one comfort
ing thing about it-there was but one
dav of the convention. Messrs. Dodge
and Ford, of the Merchants ,havealready
commenced to look like themselves
again, and the bellboyS-wel they are
hardly as frisky as usual. but they are
emineptly more satisfactory than they
would have been had they not just
pas ed through the hard work of last
week. While the Ryan, Clarendon and
Windsor didn't have quite so many del
egates to entertain as the Merchants.
they we're Just as crowded during the
convention, as they caught the horse
men, the travelling men, and every one
who didn't care about political strife.
Ex-Gov. S. T. Hauser, of Montana,
arrived from the East yesterday morn
ing: and, after breakfasting at the
Ryan. resumed his journey westward.
The distinguished M0ntanian was feel.
ing in the best possible humor, and
freely predicted a Democratic victory in
his state in the coming election. The
withdrawal OF Congressman Tom Carter
from the congressional race, Gov.
Hauser thinks, is solely because OF the
formers vote on the free coinage bill.
The people of Montana, irrespective of
party, want free silver coinage. Mr..
Carter preferred to stand in with
Speaker Reed and the administration,
rather than vote for the interests of his
constituents, hence his declina-
ton to be a candidate before
the people. AS far as the legis-
lature is concerned, the Democrats
have the best of the fight. They have
more of the hOld-over senators than the
opposition and will surely carry more
than half of the new senators at the
coming election. Gov. Hauser, of course,
isdisgusted with the weak, eXtravagant
and inefficient national administration
and predicts a general Democratic vic
tory throughout the nation III the COM
ing election. The passage of the Lodge
bill, he thinks, will be one of the crown

upon the people of the United States.
Hon. Tom Pugh, of Mankato, re-
newed old acquaintance in the city
yesterday, registering at the Clarendon.
Mr.. Pugh is one of the stalwart Re
publicans of Blue Earth county, and
always takes hand in politics when
ever there's half chance. A few
years ago Tom" strayed over into the
territory of Dakota, and was shortly
thereafter sent to the territorial leglsla-
ture. But even high political honors
could not keep Mr.. Pugh away from
Minnesota, and three or four years ago
he returned to Mankato, where he is
now in business. He is rustler from
away back, and can do more business
ina given time than any other man in
Blue Earth county.
Ex-senator c. f. Macdonald, of st.
Cloud, strayed into the Capital City
yesterday and registered at the Mer-
chants. Mac" as he is commonly
known, is the same active, eager worker
as in the days of yore, and is anxious to
have the campaign commence. He is
the editor and proprietor of that staunch
Democratic journal, the st. Cloud
Times, which is always to be found in
the front rank Of the fighting Demee-
racy.
Prof. Frank A. Weld, of Fergus Falls.
was registered at the Merchants yes
terday with Mrs. Weld. The professor
is at the head of the public schools of
Fergus Falls, and is fast placing them
on first-class basis. He is backed by
one of the best boards of education
nj the state, and is given every
facility in the shape of good
school buildings, good teachers, and
first-class apparatus for pushing his
work. and he is doing the pushing to
the satisfaction of everybody.
