AROUND THE RoTELS.

There were large number of coun-
try politicians in the city yesterday, and
what made their visit the more signifi
cant was the fact that nearly all of
them were at one time OF another
during the day closeted with Gov.
Merriam. Hon. Gid. S. Ives, of st.
Peter, was an early caller at the state
capitol. Since Lieut.. Gov. Rice
has announced his intention to
retire from public life, the
name of Gid S. Ives has been promi
nently mentioned for the office Of lieu
tenant governor. Mr.. Ives was a mem
Der of the last senate and his popularity
was so pronounced that he was unani-
mously selected by his Republican fell
low senators as the president of the
senate pro tenn. 1t IS, therefore, natural
that Mr.. Ives name should now be
mentioned in connection with the lieu
tenant governorship. There is no doubt
that, if offered the nomination, MI Ives
would willingly run for the office. He
said as much yesterday, but declined to
divulge anything respecting the confer
ence he had had with Gov, Merriam. 1t
was, however, current gossip at the
Merchants that Gov. Merriam and Mr..
Ives had come to some understanding
respecting the latter running for the
Republican nomination for lieutenant
governor.
Hon. Frank A. Day, of Fairmont,
blew into st. Paul yesterday Oh an early
morning train. He is strong Merriam
man, and it was only natural that he
should make call at the state eyecu
tive department. Mr.. Day has been
mentioned as a probable successor of
United States Marshal Campbell. There
is little doubt that he could have secured
the position had he desired it, he having
been prominently identified with the
election of Senator WaShburn, and the
latter has given ample proof that he
can take care of his friends who desire
a stall to feed at the public crib. But
Mr.. Day did not care for the position:
he preferred TO stay at Fairm0nt and
run the successful newspaper with
which he is identified. Mr.. Day is a
progressive man, and will undoubtedly
be heard from in the future councils of
his party.
Maj. Edwards, of Fargo, and Aid.
PhiIbrick, OF Redwood Falls, were prom
inent visitors in the Merchants lobby.
The former scales about 800 pounds and
tie latter 2S5.
Hon. Edwin Dunn, of Eyota. regis
tered at the Ryan. He declared that
his visit was not in connection with the
state prison, and would say nothing III
reply to Gen. Jim Bakers attack on the
board of prison managers, of which he
is president. Gen. Baker recently de-
livered severe criticism Oh the action
of The managers i'll relation to the
effort they made to introduce
the manufacture of Irvine into the
state prison. The managers sent
a deputation to get information, and
the deputation travelled about the coun-
try interviewing Irvine manufacturers
solely, and naturally they came back
adverse to starting Irvine mandatory
in the state prison. 1t is reported that
Gov. Merriam saw Gen. Dunn yeSter-
day. and that this attack by Gen. Baker
was under consideration. His excel
lencv is very DESTROYS of modifying the
farmers.
Attorney General Goodwin. of Bis
marck, n. d., has registered at the Mer-
chants. The attorney general, next to
Gov. Miller, was one of the most promi-
nent opponents of the lottery bill intro
duced and almost passed in the North
Dakota legislature. His action in con-
nection Herewith made for him many
enemies and laid him open to the as
Sault of member of the house who was
so incenSed at a letter written by
Goodwin that he publicly 'pulled his
nose. Attorney General Goodwin
laughed when the incident was recalled,
remarking that his personal appearance
had in nOwiSe' been diSfigured. He is
firmly of the opinion that the lottery
bill will again be burning question
for the North Dakota legislator, partic-
uIarly if the Louisiana legislature,
which assemblies in May, should refuse
a renewal of the company'S charter.
lively fight this fall in the Republican
convention of North Dakota. The lot
terry and high license people will have
to face the fire of the anti-lottery men
and prohibitionists. Of course it would
be difficult TO foretell the outcome, but
am not at all anxious. know this,
that Gov. Miller is stronger with the
Dakota people than he was when elected
to fill the gubernatorial chair"
hon. Charles Gilman, of st. Cloud,
figured somewhat prominently in the
Merchants lobby. A Republican of
high standing stated that the st. Cloud
man and Gov. Merriam had made up
their little differences, and that in the
Republican state convention he would
be one of Merriam's nominators. With
Gilman there would be Knute Nelson.
Maj. Gen. James r. Carnahan, of In
dianapolis, commander of the uniform
rank, Knights of Pythias, was quar-
tered at the Ryan. He says there are
100000 members of the Knights of Pyth-
las, and that in 1878. before the uniform
rank was introduced into the order,
there were only $4,000.
Marcus DAILY placed his autograph on
the register at the Ryan, assigning his
residence to New York. The Montana
millionaire spent few hours in the
city, leaving on the Northern Pacific
rain for Helena.
