CORRIDOR RIPPLEs.

While the subject of state politics has
not become at all prominent yet, it is
noticeable that leading politicians from
ali parts of the state find it convenient
TO make frequent trips to st. Paul these
days, and the old-time conferences at
the Merchants are again becoming
quite the usual thing. On the Repub
lican side, the men who find time to
meet and confer at the Merchants are
the ones who are now holding down
either fat federal or state offices.
Among the Republicans of the state
there is not the slightest interest taken
in the doings of the bosses. The people
realize that the Republican party of
Minnesota is absolutely in the control
of a few men, and there Will, conse-
quently, be comparatively little kick
ing against the prieks" III either the
state or the congressional conventions
of the Republicans of Minnesota this
year.
One of the prominent Fifth district
Republicans was registered at the Mer-
chants yesterday in the person or
Charles j. Wright. of Fergus Falls. Mr.
Wright is member of the board of
trustees Of the Fergus Falls insane asy-
lum, and is one of the leading men Of
Otter Tail county. During the past
winter Mr.. Wright and Hon. John b.
Hompe, late member of the legislature
from that county. carried on rather
entertaining controversy through To-
cal paper of Fergus Fails.
Mr.. Wright was rather afraid of Mr..
Hompe's receiving the Republican
9omination for the state senate this
year, and set out to dispose of him in
advance. Mr.. Hompe and his friends
replied. and are now predicting
Hompe's nomination and election this
fall. Mr.. Wright, however, is ioier-
ably shrewd manager, and may be on
hand when the time comes.

visiting friends in ST. Paul and was re :
istered at the Merchants yesterday.
