The Wisconsin Republicans saved one con-

gefs of River Falls. Wis. dropped into the
Merchants yesterday morning in the hope Of
finding Hon. John Lind. the only survivor in
thiE state. In this he was dsap-
pointed, for Mr.. Lind was so fright
ened over his narrow escape and so
anxious 10 see that the way-back towns in
yellow Medicine and other counties gave
him every vote possible that he did not have
lime to journey to st. Paul even to minge
tears with the sole representative of Wiscon-
sin lRepublicanism. Had Mr.. Lind came to
st, Paul, however he would have done just
as Mr.. Haugeu did-decline TO discuss the
Election. Neither of the pair have
anything to boast of. and both
of them may be unseated by the Fifty
congress. The majority for Lind is bare
50U-it was Ii, 900 two years ago-and gross
frauds are alleged to have been committed in
the counties of Nieollet Faribault and Vel
low Medicine to give him that. Things are
in much the same shape with Congressman
Haugen,and his late opponent, Hon. William
+. Bailey, of Eau Claire threatens
q contest on the grounds OF Irregularities in
various counties of the district 1t is fitting
indeed. that Messrs. Lind and Haugen
should meet and mingle tears. Both OF them
were elected two years ago by pluralities al
most as large as the entire Democratic vote
against them; both of them went
to Washington and voted for the
tir-plate and ali other taxes in the Nc.
Kinley tariff act; and both of them seraped
through. if at all, by the yeriest scratches.
Mr.. Lind ought to have kept his date with
Mr.. Haugen.
Hon: Joseph ". Craven, of Norwood, SEN
ator-elect from Carver county, registered at
the clarendon last evening. Mr.. Craven is a
good representative of the young Democracy
now coming TO the front in the Eighth judi
cial district and may be depend
ed upon to stand by the interests
of his constituents every time. He de-
feated Representative c. G. Hol-
gren, a popular Republican. by nearly 500
majority, which shows him to be popular
! with the voters of Carver county. Besides
beng i'll politics. Mr. Craven finds time TO
edit and publish the Norwood Times, n

Hon. John F. Meagher. the veteran Demo
cratic leader, came on to st. Paul yesterday
from his Mankato home, and is now at the

than he has for some time. and, of course,
takes, the same active interest in politics as he
