MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

NOTE AND COM MEM.
There is no reason why the Minneap-
oils Industrial exhibition should not be
a distinctive industrial exhibition in
fact. Minneapolis now has any number
of diversified interests which, if shown
at the exhibition, would be a better adj
vertisement for Minneapolis than all
the pamphlets published by the board
of trade and people who have real
estate to sell. The manufacturers owe
it to themselves and to Minneapolis to
see that the exhibition fifty represents
the manufacturing interests OF the Flour
City.
So A. B. Middleton, who ''foundered"
the Minneapolis Tribune, is to have
place at Washington, and will con-
tribute to the frigidity of the atmos-
phere in the office of the secretary of
the United States treasury. The gem
eral has not been altogether fortunate
financially of late years, and those who
may possibly have some feeling APP
preaching to friendship for this very
correct gentleman will doubtless be
glad to learn tbut he has secured COM
Portable berth.
Andy McGill seems to be afraid that
Merriam may not be nominated, or
elected if nominated. Such fond solic-
itude from such source is extremely
touching at this time of "a grave crisis
i'll the history of the Republican party"
r. P. Huntington, the well known
apostle of Democracy. has received
from his brother handsome picture OF
IN IN If
dianapoliS 10 the memory of the late
Thomas A. Hendricks, whom he regards
as one of the foremost characters in the
history of the great party of which
"Uncle Dick'' is proud to call himself
a member.
A Canadian senator was kidnapped
because he was in the way of his pollt-
ical opponents. This is a valuable hint
Tor the Hennepin county Republican
politicians.
An evening hybrid reporter tried to
talk politics with Knute Nelson, and the
little Norwegian Immediately began to
discuss the state of the crops. Nelson
can, evidently, ''size up" at glance the
men who approach him.
Dave Clough put in yesterday watch
ing how w. r. Merriam runs horse
race. The governor seem able to give
the lumberman points on both politics
and horse races.
A new lithographing company has
been formed i'll Minneapolis. The in
corporators realize that the political
campaign is here, and will be prepared
TO furnish copies of Tim Byrnes' smile,
Ed Summers voice and A. IL. Halls
nerve, all done in cOlorS.
R.R. O'Dell says he thinks the Henne-
pin county delegation will be for Mer-
riam first. last and all the time. How
will O'Dell square himself with his con-
science for helping to elect such dele
CATION?
The Swedes of South Minneapolis are
kicking because there are too many
Norwegians, especially Gjertsens, on
that delegation. The kicking Swedes
are discerning men especially as re-
CARDS the second objection.
The Evening Tribune prints several
interviews with prominent citizens who
believe that the census matter should
not be allowed to figure i'll politics
against st. Paul man, and George K.
Shaw said never word about these men
being disloyal to Minneapolis. Is the
feeling against the SANITY City really
dying out?
r. r. Odell should consult the polit-
ical oracle Of the Times before making
such rash breaks concerning the Hen
nepin delegation and Merriam. Fletcher,
Langdon and the other big guns are
supposed to get all their political in
formation from that source.
The announcement is made that Gen.
NettletOn will be appointed assistant
secretary of the treasury. Minneapolis
secures all these honorS because it has
no funny papers to print pictures of the
hat which occupies the presidential
chair.
There were but thirteen directors of
the exposition present at yesterdays
meeting. They were very brave men
thus to fly i'll the face of fate, especially
after Manager Regain had so recently
made an enemy of the Pioneer Press.
The L. P. and fate always work con-
jointly.
The fact that Dan Gaines, the promis-
ing gelding, fell dead in the three-min-
ute trot at Hamline Tuesday is not at
all surprising. L. Silver Varnum, of
the Times, had bought pool ticket on
him. Ted will now be offered a salary
to keep away from the pool box.
The lumbermen who attended the
convention at the Hotel Lafayette yes
terday represented almost every mill in
the Northwest. 1t was gathering of
business men such as seldom get to-
gether in a body, and the Minneapolis
lumbermen who managed the affair
may we'll be proud of their success.
