Congressman s.Dar'' S. Hall came in
from Stewart last evening and took the
evening train for Chicago and the East.
Mr.. Hall was decidedly nOn-communl-
catve. and looked as though he had not
slept a wink since his return from
Washington. His barley crop is still
in his granary waiting for the
passage of the Mckinley bill.
and, while he didn't say SO, it is limited
that in case the price on that commodity
doesn't go up several notches as soon as
the Mckinley bill becomes law he Will
feed it to his hens and have them lay
some protected" eggs that will not
have to compete with those produced
by the pauper labor OF hens IN free
trade countries.
Fillmore county Republicans held
their county convention yesterday and
elected a solid delegation to the state.
convention, instructed for no one. The
delegates are all warm personal friends
of Capt. Braden, however, and will vote
either for him or as he directs. The
delegation is headed by 81. S. Griswold,
of Chatfeld, one of the most prominent
men in the First district. The delega-
ton will undoubtedly be for h. &.
Griswold, the present efficient deputy
auditor, for the nomination for the
place on the state ticket.
For convincing proof that the Repub-
licans are scared nearly out OF their
boots by the harmonious ending of the
Alliance convention and the defeat OF
Mr.. Donnelly, one needed only to visit
the state house yesterday. In every
office it was the chief topic Of conversa.-
ton, and, although every official
bravely tried to conceal his real
opinion, it was easy to see. that
they were worried. The most absurd
arguments were raised to prove that
Mr. Owen would not poll large vote
and that the greater part of this would
,me from the Democratic party. They
seemed to forget that the Democratic
farmers of Minnesota will have as good
candidate and the same platform
offered them by their oWn party
at the coming elections, thus making 1T
unnecessary for them to- vote for as
good man as Mr.. Owen certainly is.
The machine and the bosses will learn
something more about the farmers be-
fore the end of this contest. They will
find that all Of them are not built on
the same plan as Mr.. D0nnelly and
.'Doc" Fish, and that abuse will not
swerve one of them from the straight
and narrow path OF entering protest
against the Mckinley tariff bill and
the numerous other political corrup-
tionS of to-day.
