HOTEL AND STREET CHATTER.

The Donnelly scheme of dividing the
Farmers alliance vote in the interests
of Gov. Merriam continues to be the all
absorbing topic of conversation among
the state politicians whenever they
chance to run up against each other in
this city. Without exception the real
farmers declare themselves emphatic
ally opposed to helping Mr.. Donneily
carry out any contract he may nave
made with the present governor OF the
state, and they propose to do all in their
power by way of mutual concessions TO
prevent any serious difference arising
that would lead to any honest and SIN
cere workers being induced to follow
Mr.. Donnelly's Lead. Il was surprised
at the interview given out by DR.. Fish
and published n all evening paper yes
terday." remarked leader of the alll-
ance movement in Blue Earth county
last evening. ''for, despite all reports, l
did not think that Mr.. Donnel!y
would stoop to such contemplate
methods in his efforts to help along
Gov. Merriam'S cause. There is no
such thing as a Hall and Lathrop
clique or ring in the alliance, and l am
firmly convinced that both of these gen.
temen are working honestly and UNI
SeIfishly for the good of the OrganlZa-
ton. They certainly did accomplish
something substantial for the farmers OF
the state when they ran down that
Irvine investigation farce, and forced
a demonstration which has resulted III
an Greer from the governor to at once
commence the erection of such plant
Mr.. Donnelly and his few allies will be
obliged to have some good and more
honest reason for boiling this coming
convention than they have yet shown
before they will succeed in taking OH
many followers"
Hon. r. H. McClelland, of Glencoe,
was in the city on legal business yes
terday, and spent portion OF the day
chatting with friends at the Merchants.
Mr.. McClelland is the chairman of the
Republican congressional committee OF
the Third district, and was largely in
strumenta in securing the election of
"Dar'' S. Hall to congress two years
ago. He is quite an enthusiastic Re-
publican. but in spite of this, it
would be little rough on
him to suppose for moment
that he was at all proud OF his job, eX
cept from the fact that Republican
had been elected. On being asked his
opinion of the probable result this year,
he said there was no doubt of Mr.. Halls
denomination and he felt quite sure that
he would be reelected by good ma
jority.
A number of the leading Democrats
of the state CHANGED to meet at the Mer-
chants yesterday afternoon, and, after
talking politics for time decided to
drop across the street and pay their re-
hot cfa al
Michael Dorian. This they did,
spending half hour or,
so in discussing the political
outlook. 1t was no slatemaking meet
ing, however, and hardly more than
one OF two members OF the state COM
mittee were in the crowd. Among those
present were Senator E. W. Durant, of
Saltwater; Hon. j. w. Lawrence, of
Minneapolis; Hon. r. L. FraZee, of
Frazee City; Hon. David T. Calhoun,
of st: Cloud, and number of others
from different portions of the state.

day. Mr.. Schroeder, besides running
large hardware store, finds time to at
tend to his aldermanic duties and sing
solos at almost every musical entertain
ment in that section of the state.
Hon. Charles G. Wilson, of Rochester,
walked restleSSly around the Ryan
lobby last evening, now and then MAX
ing an effort to read; but it was of no
avail, his mind was so much absorbed
in the argument he will make before
Judge Miller, of the United States su-
preme court, in the Holden case this
morning, that rest and relaxation seemed
absolutely impossible. Mr.. Wilson eX-
pressed considerable confidence in his
ability to save Holden, and, as he is one
of the oldest lawyers in the state, his
opinion is entitled to great weight.
