early in the afternoon, but owing TO
the fact that he has by reason of his
long absence from the city become quite
a stranger it was not until after supper
that he found anyone that knew him.
At that time Railroad Commissioner
Gibbs, who is just now keeping
very watehful eye on every man
of influence with the administration
around whom there clings the least sus-
piciOn of haySeed, eSpied him, and at
once entered into discussion with the
Kandiyohi statesman. The topic, by
the way, was not the late election. Gov.
Rice was in his usually amiable frame
of mind. and discussed everything from
politics down to the price of Minnesota
farm lands, in his usual easy manner.
Twill you be candidate for governor
two years hence?" was asked him by
the reporter.
No, sir" was the emphatic response.

Il don't think Mr.. Nelson cares much
for politics" answered Prince Albert.
evasively. Il hardly think he would
accept a nomination. He has had
plenty of political honor, aud is now
after something more substantial. He
has a splendid law practice, and, as |
understand it, is very well contented
with his present condition. Speaking
of politics, however, the Fourth district
has elected Il very good man. | sat
alongside Mr.. Castle in the state senate
for eight years, and liked him i'm
menSely. | think he was the only DEM
Ocrat who sat on our side of the cham
Der, and he could not be driven out of
it. | remember that lie was laie at the
opening of the session two of the years,
and his seat was pre-empted by Senator
Severance once and Senator Sam Peter
son another time. But this did not pre-
vent Mr.. Castle from getting his old
seat when lie did come. for he just
pitched out the books and the papers of
the 'SquatterS' and positively declined
70 get out when they told him that they
had chosen that seat. He is good par

be as good fellows as Senator Castle"
Col. c. A. Broadwater, the Montana
capitalist. is at the Ryan with his wife
and daughter. His party is bound for
the East, having come on from Helena
over the Montana Central and Manitoba
railways. The colonel, although many
times millionaire, still sports Water
bury watch and never thinks of wear
ing anything but a small SLOUGH hat.
Besides finding time TO attend to his
thousand and one business cares, Mr..
Broadwater takes hand in politics
now and then, and is known as one of
the members of the Big Four" Like
all other MOntanianS, he is delighted
over the election of Judge w. w. Dixon
to congress over Congressman Carter,
and is quite sure that his state is now
reliably Democratic. Col. Broadwater

Hotel BroadWater, near Helena, the

Senator DIV. HjXOn, of Grant county.
dropped into the city yesterday, and is
now at the Clarendon. He takes his de-
feat philosophically and says that had
his district voted under the Australian
system he would certainly have been
elected. "a change of 21S votes" he
said, would have elected me, and
money took twice that from me. The
treasurer'S car of a big railroad corpora
ton was run right into my district and
discussed where it would do the most
good against me. The Australian law
should have been passed for the whole
state two years ago. 1t did pass the
senate, but was killed in the house by
Keyes, of Wlnona."

the coming session. MIR. Leayitt is a
careful business man, native of the
''old Granite state" and will make one
OF the best members of the next state
senate. He is rock-rlbbed Democrat,
such as only New Hampshire can pro-
duce, for, as Massachusetts statesman
once remarked, IF there's apy man
who takes his politics straighter than
New Hampshire Republican it is New
Hampshire Democrat" Mr.. Leavitt is,
