RANDOM REMARKS.

perienced victory of the walk-out sort
and the ''kid" element reioiced thereat.
The "old-timers" had said, ''go in. boys,
you can go to the county conventiion'
All we ask for is the state convention,
and we will arrange it in that way. we
will give YOU the county delegates IL
Won will give us the delegates to the
state convention" But the question is
raised whether OF not a proposition by
the partv of one side OF the
issue alone can be considered
contract binding upon the party
of the other side, and that is precisely
the position. The kids" aSseverate
that they never assented to the arrang-
ment, and consequently claim the rlgnt
to continue right on in the line estaD-
Gshed, and carry off the delegates to
the state convention. "There will be
no mossbacks in the Ramsey county
delegation this time" observed one of
the most enthusiastic late last night.
Sand the people whose names appear
on the prOtest against the course OF the
county committee will be conspicuous
only on account of their absence from
the state convention" he perse-
vered. "They have forced the fight
and we cry, NO quarter" All IN all,
the Union league members feel that

Ramsey county.
Senator G. S. Ives is in the city. He
watched the result of the primaries last
night with some qualification. He is
Drettv we'll satisfied that Ramsey coun-
twill favor him for lieutenant gov
ernOr.
G.. !. Lomen. defeated candidate for
Judge of the municipal court, is once
more in the swim. He is candidate
for the senatorial nomination. Evidently
the lesson just taught him had no last
ing influence, and once more he Will
have to be knocked out.
Deputy Clerk Helm, of the supreme
court, is quite hustler in his way. He
is now rustling down in the southern
part Of the state, and Clerk Jones. can
didacy for denomination is the anlmus.
The struggle for the county attorney
ship this fall will, beyond doubt, 1t is
said by the politicians OF 6oth
sides, be between John d.. Ives
and NJ. d. Mum. The latter, although
occupying the position of assistant
prosecuting attorney under a Demo
cratic administration, is Republican
Representative l.. H. McKusick, of
Pine City, is at the Merchants. lie has
been attending term of the United
States circuit court in Winona and is
now en- route home. Mack is candl-
date-it is an open Secretion re-elec-
ton this fall, although his friends are
undecided whether his voice had best
be raised in the house OF in the senate.
at
81 had a very interesting interview
with Mayor Buck, of Winona," said Nc
Kusick to GLOBE reporter last night.
"He is quite a philosopher i'll his way"
he continued, after lighting fresh
cigar. HE told me of his idea of police
duty, and it struck me as being OF I'M
usual merit He said every officer on
the Winona force had special lnstruc-
lions that if they cared to perpetuate
their positions they must maintain Or
der on their respective beats without
making arrests. 1t is an easy matter to
arrest people, and know that great
many unnecessary arrests are made in
all cities"
Senator Henry Kelar, of Sank Gen.
ter, came down last night to perfect ar
rahgements for the manufacture OF his
new machine for the manufacture of
binding twine "There is no politics in
this" said he. 1.-THE committee ap-
pointed by the governor to investigate
the question paid no attention to me,
but l am not discouraged, however
My machine is perfect, and l want to
emphasize the fact that l have not sold
out to Mccormick nor to any one else,
and every farmer can make his own
binding Irvine out of slough
-frotr onUthInr
of that sort, and the cost will
be merely nominal. l am going to give
ST. Paul people an opportunity first to
make these machines, but if [ cannot
arrive at a satisfactory arrangement
am going to Chicago and New York.
By the way" he continued, "John Lud
wig, of Winona, called upon me to-
night. He proposes that a stock COM
pany be organized III Winona for the
manufacture. and l told him was open
to any proposition. My machines will
knock out all the binding Irvine trusts,
and l predict that one year from now
factories with nothing to do. The farm
ers will be making their own Irvine,
and entirely out of refuse grass that is
of no use to anyone. Flax makes the
best,-that is the prettiest and most
smooth and even Irvine, but grass will

COUGHING upon new feature of the
theme, THAT the senate committee APP
pointed at the last session of the legiS
lature to investigate the binding Irvine
business is soon to report? Let me see,
l ain on the committee with Senators
Brown and Burkhardt. l tell you there
is big surprise in store for some oDe."
A Dangerous Blast.
Shortly before II o'clock last night
loud explosion shook the earth and
buildings for radius of quarter of a
mile of Seven corners. 1t was thought
to be an explosion of locomotive, as
the sound came from the direction of
the railway tracks along the river. In
vestigation by the police proved
it to have been a large blast by
the workmen employed in eX-
cayating on Hill street for
