created by the bill. This WaShhHrn has
positively declined TO do. saying that he
believed Minneapolis was entitled to
the few places which the establishing OF
a SUPPORT would make. and that it was
altogether too much 10 ask. Davis. it is
said. Tetortpd by saying thut he did not
claim all the places in the st. Paul Gus
tom house; that he allowed Collector
Edwards to give 4 few 10 his friends out
SIDE Ramsey county, ana that 1t would
not De any too maEnaniIGuuS for " ash
burn to divine with him Davis. Wash
burn Is said to have asked how many
places he wanted, and Davis said he
had two friends lie would like to see
there. There are two Democrats hold
ing down fat offices in the st. Paul Gus
tom house. and you can have them re-
moved and your friends appointed
there" was WaShbuTu'S re ported an
SWer. The Democrats WaShburn Is
supposed TO have referred To are Robert
Morrison and \. f. Storey. whose Serv-
ices Collector Edwards evidently cannot
get atong without. If Davis opposes tine
passage of the hill in the senate. there
will be ''weeping ami gnashing of teeth
among the faithful i'm Minneapolis. The
bill has already passed the house, and
may be hung up in the senate until
WaShnurn comes down off his high
horse. What a love feast these two Re-
pm lican senators nave INDUCED in
since the ideS of November.
No one in Minneapolis takes the re-
port of the breaking out anew OF the
troubles between Senators WaShburn
and Davis harder than Treasurer Hush.

"sinch" Oil the deputy cOllectOrship.
ana that the bill. having passed the
house, would 90 through tile senate
with a rush; but the latest news from
the national capital has cooled his artlOT
considerably, and he must now sit back
and chew gum with more anxiety than
ever. Though there will be- some three
or four places in the new support, the
deputy cOliectOrShip will be the
only one worth locking for. The
others will he way down in
compensatiOn-sO far down that 10 one
but n half-paid reporter or dry goods
clerk would trouble himself looking for
any of them. The Flambeau club. how
ever. is anxious to see Hush get the
Office, and there is no doubt OF his an
pOrntment if the bill goes through the
senate without alv modification or up-
position from Davis. There are no viSi-
Die candidates for the other places yet,
though there is no doubt but that some
are at work. Like Deputy Freesle. of
the internal revenue dep lrJment. some
will be found foolish enough To consider
the honor OF the places and not the com
pensatiOn they viii bring. \ good crop
of candidates will he on the market be-
fore another week passes to the rear.
So our own sweet A H. Hall. the

has large opinion of himself, but no
one supposed that he had any idea his
influence reached acIoSs the country to
Washington. 1t WOult he a great bless
ing if Hall we're given a foreign office
or foreign mission. then the good people
of Minneapolis would have a chance of
sitting with great force on the Wood
peCker club. which has been as much of
an eye-snre To certain MinneapalItanS
as the many ''bind pigs that have syS-
tematicaily piled their vocation in Min
neapOlis since the Republicans took
charge of affairs. Halt is large man
in his own mind. but very small in the
eyes OF many of those who know him.
Any politician who suppOses that eX-
Gov. i. K. Mc'ill VIII not come up
smiling for the gOYernOrship next fall
is not keeping eases on the Republican
checker board. MciIill is talking 10 the
labOTiug men these times, and has con-
scented to come down and talk single tax
with the advocates of that system. He
is working nicely for the nomination.
but how he is going to harmOniZe his
candidacy with that of r. B. LangdOn,
is difficult TO cypher Just now. Fletcher
is evidently in a dilemma, but 1t is a
small hole that the little villain" can
not creep OUT of. Watch how he will
get out.
William Henry Eustis for the senate
is being passed along the lines of the
Union league. William Henry received
such q warm shake Of the hand from
Secretary Blaine when in Washington
that he has SHE'D his senatorial castor
into the ring. and does not propose TO
remove it until he finds out whether the
people have not got more confidence in
some her man ability to make and
unmake laws for the state. William
Henry is of the opinion that he could
fill a chair in the upper house at the
state capitol next winter as well as any
other MinneapJlitan. Watch them
scramble for the place.
