made the deal with Ball for the Cass

cause it is temporarily out of his reach,
He is not only pretty cunnln'." but he
is fighter. When he gets mad he can
howl like wildcat III tin oven. And
when he saw the plum in JOhnsOn's
possession and saw his game was up in
congress he got mad. He got his fellows
together in secluded corner at Hotel
aDacotah and he turned loose. He
charged about the corridors of the hotel
like a bob-tailed bull in fly time. He

comfortably full and had on good jag
of bitter invective against the man who
had defeated their leader he let them
GO forth to preach the gospel.
1t was not long before war and rumors
of war began to reach the prominent
telephone apparatus of Mr.. johnson,
and the flush OF victory upon his hand
battle began to whistle through his :
viskerS. He was scared, and i'm
mediately set to work to devise some
means to conciliate Hausbrough and
pour balm Into his ranking wounds.
There was only one thing TO do. He
had only one article of merchandise to
deliver. Yes, he must do it. 1t was
already promised to Ball and Pierce
but no matter-HausUrough must be
quieted-yes. he would do it-and SO
johnson went to Hans and told him if
stop to the incipient bolt, that
would support him
transformation United States senator
and give him the scandinavian strength
in the Legislature at Bismarck next Win
ter" HanSbrOugh accepted the deal
and the following little clipping from
ST. Paul interview the other day, as
HansbrOugh was Oh his way back from
Washington, shows that Hansbrough is
honestly and cOnscientiOusly trying to
do as he agreed with johnson to cali off
his fighters:
No one knows the trouble I have ex-
perienced, however in trying 10 get my
friends to support johnson. They cannot
forget the injustice done them as well as N.Y.
self at the Grand Forks convention. They
have repeatedly written me that they couldn't
cOnsclentionsly support johnson. but l have
insisted, and fee: that they will vote as
wish.
No one doubts that Hansbrough will
ultimately be able to get all the boys to
sy,r,fn I n, Lie
worthy attempt to keep his word with
Johnson. he deserves the support of all
Christian people. johnson Is no fool
if he does have fitS-and he is watching
HansbIOugh closely to see whether he
keeps his agreement and if the BOYS do
not vote as wisn." HansbrOugh will
mott get the support of the Scandina-
Wan strength at Bismarck next winter"
As your correspondent has just re-
marked. Johnson is no fool. He knows
that his election comes off before he
will be called upon to deliver the "Scan-
dlnavlan strength at Bismarck next
winter" and thus he is perfectly secure
IN promising that same strength to each
and every candidate in the field for
United States Senator-preSent or
prospective. He has thus far
been very conservative with his
prolnises-having only promised the
scandinavian strength in the legiSla-
ture next winter" TO three of the candi-
dates for the United States senate-and
MessrS. Pierce, Ball and Hansbrough
may consider themselves lucky illso-
much as they are ahead of ali new
corners. 1t is only another proof of the
old ID age that the early bird birds in
this case catches the worm;" and as
there will probably be half dozen
other candidates IN the field, including
Billy Bulge, Judge Francis, Alex Nc
Kenzie. Mayor Richardson, Harrison
Allen. Col. Lounsbery and others, ali
OF whom will be DESTROYS to secure the
support of the Scandinavian strength
in the Legislature next winter" the
three early birds may be said to be very
fortunate in that they have already Sc
cured it, and in view of the further
fact that, having secured it. they will
have to divide it into three equal parts
to make all lovely and sunsIiiny and
satisfactory. Nom ID. PLUME.
