ia
Col. A. h. Delaney, who defeated Gen. |
T.. S. Bragg Cor the Democratic con- |
gressional nomination in the Second |
Wisconsin district in 1856 after pro-
longed deadlock, and who, after being |
defeated at tn e polls by that perlpatetic |
Republican statesman, "Dick" Guen- |
ther, of Oshkosh, Milwaukee, Washing |
ton or most anywhere. was appointed |
by President Cleveland to preside over
the legal department of Alaska, regis |
tered at the RYAN yesterday with his
wife and daughters. Col. Delaney has
recently been replaced by Republic
and is now on his way back to his
Wisconsin home. After spending sew
eral years in Alaska, MIR. Delaney
declared that he is not sorry to re-
turn again to the hauDtS OF civilization,
and in this sentiment he is heartily
joined by his wife and two charming
daughters.
Judge w. B. Mcconnell and Maj. Ed
wards represented Fargo at the Mer-
chants yesterday. Judge Mcconnell
was one of President Cleveland'S ap-
poiptees, and last fall defeated New
man, the Republican candidate, in spite
of the fact that the district is over
whelmingly Republican. Although
Mai. Edwards and the judge are MEM
bers OF different political parties they
are fast friends, and the Fargo Argus,
the majors paper, stood by the judge ID |
last years campaign.
Mai Edwards is big man, not only |
politically, but also in many other ways |
his weight is over three hundred and |
he can hold hands correSpOndingly |
Weighty in the great American game. |
The major was a pronounced adherent |
of the lottery supporters in the late |
contest, and is confident that mistake |
was made when the legislature refused |
to charter the concern. CAS- it is at |
present." remarked the major, I'VE !
have preserved our morals, our |
churches, prohibition, and are on the |
verge of starvation. Under the circum- |
stances 1T was strange that the chattel |
mortgage sharks should be the strongest |
opponents of the measure. Had the |
lottery bill been passed it would have |
made money plenty and brought peO- |
pie to the state. People always go |
where money is plenty
Capt. W. H. Harries, Of Caledonia, |
registered at the Merchants last even |
ing. Capt. Harries is one of the leading |
lawyers of Houston county, and has fire. |
quently filled the Office of prosecuting |
attorney for that county. He is usually |
delegate to Democratic state and con- |
greSSional conventions, and is a great |
party worker and organizer.
Capt. A. H. Reed, of Glencoe, came in
from his home last evening. and is now
at the Merchants. Mr.. Reed thinks his
chances quite good for securing the
Office of sergeant-at-armS of the senate
to succeed Col. Canaday. He claims
that Quay'S candidate. eX-State Treas |
urer Bailey, of Pennsylvania, hasn't |
got such a sure thing on it, after all. |
"Quay is losing his grip" said the cap |
tain, land isn't as all-powerful as he
has been"
Spy the wav," remarked a Southern |
Minnesota republican leader to a
GLOBE reporter, at the Merchants last |
evening, Ibid you ever know that p. II. |
Kelly, the great Minnesota Democratic |
leader, used to be Republican in New |
York, and once ran for office on that |
ticket?' The reporter had never heard |
any such story, and the gentleman con- |
tinued: lit was away back in 1857. |
MIR. Kelly had been staunch Fremont |
supporter IN 1856 and year later |
board. He was given the Republican |
nomination. On this same ticket were |
A. G. Hall, now a merchant at Alden, |
Freeborn county, and also Nurseryman |
Fitch, of the same place. Well, the |
election finally came off and Kelly was
defeated, all the other Republican cam |
dldates being elected. This so angered |
Kelly that he sold out, moved West and |
changed his politics. In those days |
there was no halfway business about |
Pat. He was the most enthusiastic |
Fremont man in his county and de-
served better treatment from the Re- |
publicans of the town."
A. Hurley and E. j. Duffy, of Rose
mont, placed their autographs on the |
Windsor register last evening.
Hon. P. A. Foster, of Mankato, spent
yesterday in st. Paul. Mr.. Foster is an
