SAINT PAUL.
CORRIDOR CaAT.

st. Paul yesterday with MS wife, eli
route to Helena. Gov. Toole entered
public lite some eighteen years ago,
when he was barely of age, as district
attorney of the Third judicial district OF
the then territory of Montana, and has
since been so thoroughly engrossed in
his business and politics that up to
about three weeks ago he was bach
elor. During the four years he repre-
scented Montana in the lower house of
congress the able and brilliant Mon
tanian met his fate i'll the per-
son of Miss Lilly Rosecrans,
daughter of Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, the
great Union general, and three weeks
ago Gov. TOoe and Miss RuSecranS
were married in st. Mathews church at
Washington. After spending several
weeks in trip to New York. Atlantic
CITY and Cincinnati the governor and
his wife reached St Paul yesterday
morning, and spent the day at the Ryan.
A portion of the afternoon was spent III
a drive around the city, and at . o'clock
they again resumed their journey
westward over the Great Northern.
Mrs. TOole, while not exactly hand
some, is one of the most attractive
women now prominently before the
with wealth of light brown hair. She
is of medium height, and rather
slender in form. her face, be-
sides being attractive, has an
intellectual look that renders
her doubly interesting. The people OF
Helena. as well as those of Montana,
are to be congratulated upon their good
fortune in securing so charming and
dignified lady to preside over the ex-
ecutive mansion of the state during the
next two or three years, at least.
Gov. Toole is exactly the opposite of
his wife IN all particulars. He is con-
siderably over six feet in height, and
weighs over 200 pounds. A heavy brown
muStache covers his upper lip and
completely hides his mouth. He is
fine talker. and man whose manners
commend him to the people generally
as one of them. He has made repu-
tation at the bar as an able and sound
lawyer, and his long experience in pol
itics has rounded him out. He is one
of the prominent men of the country to-
day, and he is destined to attain yet
higher honorS in the future.
II am just on my way back to Mon
tana after an absence of nearly a
month";" said the governor in answer to
question of the GLOBE reporter, land
so / cannot tell you anything new as to
affairs there After leaving Washington
we went to New York, Cincinnati and
several other places, spending few
days in each place, and at o'clock we
will go on West. We have just been
enjoying drive around st. Paul adj
miring some of the fine new buildings
that have recently gone up in the city.

of growth and prosperity L saw on all
sides. st. Paul seems to be going ahead
as rapidly as ever. 10 me it is one OF
the most attractive cities in the land,
aad | am always glad to get back to It,"
1--WE have an election in Montana this
year." continued Gov. Toole when the
conversation drifted around to politics,
''but it will not affect the political stu
alton very much. The lower house of
the legislature, as we'll as all the state
officers, hold over until 1893. One-half
of the state senate is to be elected.
Three of the outgoing senators are
Democrats. while five are Republican.
/ think the Democrats will carry ma
jority of the eight, however, and con-
troll the next state senate. Montana is.
and always has been, Democratic, and
the events of the last few months have
not helped the Republicans in the least.
do not know what course the Demo-
Gratis will take in the matter. Strange
as it may appear, the senate for time
at least becomes the popular body, as
all the members of the house hold over,
do not know whom the Democrats will
nominate for congress this year. L
presume Maj. McGinniS can have it
again if he wants it,"

ton for attorney general. 1t is claimed
that in view of the retirement of
Lieut.. Gov. Rice from state politics, the
Third district ought to have a repre-
sentative on the ticket. Mr.. McClelland
declined to discuss his candidacy yes
terday, but there is no doubt that he
is actively in the field.
'Samuel LoeWenstein" was written on
the Merchants register yesterday, but
it was not placed there by the great
local Republican leader, as one might
naturally suppose. This particular
LOeWenstein happens to be a huStling
travelling man, who halls from New

had made special effort" said Lyon
county farmer at the Merchants yester-
day, mo worse time could have been
picked out for holding the convention.
The farmers of the state will then be
right in the middle of the barley har-
vest. This is just before the commence
ment of the wheat harvest, too, when
every farmer is watching his crop ana
preparing for the harvest. There is
considerable dissatisfaction over the
matter in Lyon county. l do not see
how many farmers can spare the time

Editor Il. c. Van Leuven, of the
Spring Valley Vidette, was in st. Paul
the other day making arrangements to
take in the editorial excursion. Col.
Van Leuven yields a trenchant pen,
and has frequently felt called upon to
wipe I'D the earth with some of the Re-
publican leaders Of the state. Just now
he is prodding Gov. Merriam and Con
gresham Dunnell. In speaking of the
probable action of the Republican state
convention, he said:
"What kind of platform are we
going to place Bill Merriam on this
year, if We nominate him? Here
the Republican party has passed
the Mckinley tariff bill, fol
which every member of congress from
this state voted, by the way. Merriam
