There will be a very warm contest
among the Hennepin Republicans
when they come to figure out who is TO
MI the congressional Offices. The sane
man would believe it, but it Is true Just
the same. that Ed Davenport would
IKE TO go to Washington for a couple of
winters and draw the money for hotel
expenses out of the United States
treasury, but the finest archi-
tect in the country could not
draw plans and specifications good
enough for Ed to go by in a political
fight. He is like John Goodnow and
freeman Z. Lane-he knows it all him
self. What Ed does not know about
politics, if distributed around among
those of his class in Minneapolis,
would make good politicians of them
all. They all want to be leaders and
nothing less than a chalrmanship
will do them. That is the trou-
BILE with them. If they were
through a course of training. all would
be we'll. A. II. Hall IS a good sample of
that class of men. Hall perchance was
placed at the head of the committee
that conducted eX-Corgressman Sni-
derS campaign; thenshe was made as
SlStant city attorney, and he grew so
large in his own estimation that it
looked as if Minneapolis. with its fifty
three square miles, would not be large
enough to contain him. Since last fall
a reaction set in, and now he is small
enough TO crawl into a canary cage.
Tim Byrnes is in Washington now,
and is trying to make as big a man of

sleeping or eating, lin is busy inform
ing his acquaintances of the presidents
views () on the political situation gen
orally. He is also telling his friends,
and the newspaper men particularly,
how he and the president discussed the
outlook in Minnesota, and that the pres
ldent told Tim that the latter must see
to it that Minnesota is put in shape be-
tore next election, III order that the old
time majorities can be counted on a
year hence. There seems to be no limit
to Tins idea of his own Importance.
This news of Tim spreading it on so
thick Ill Washington will amuse Mime
apolls people generally, who regard him
as one of the political curiosities of the
age. Unless some kind friend whispers
loudly in Tins ear to stop making a
fool OF himself, it is feared that Judge
Corrigan will have a sad case of mental
alteration to consider when Tim gets
back.
The announcement made a short time
ago that Judge Mahoney would soon
tender his resignation has brought out a
swarm OF would-be Republican Judges,
and unless something is done soon to
quiet the excited ones, there will be
something for Coroner Byrnes to in
vestigate around the Union league
rooms. There is a belief in certain Re-
publican quarters that the place
now filled by Judge Mahoney should
go to the Democracy, as the present in
cumbent is really a Democrat. A few
very few. though-cOnservative Repub-
llcan say that their party should not IN
terfere with the Democrats in naming a
successor to Judge Mahoney. But the
great army of the unSatIsfied think diff
ferent. and cite the fact that Judge Ma
honey was nominated two and a half
years ago by the late Attorney James
WOrrall in the Republican convention at
Turner hall, and elected by Republican
votes. On this basis they claim the
Office, and do not propose to let the
Democrats have anything to do with it.
1t IS a we'll known fact that when Judge
Mahoney was first placed on the munic-
ipal bench, the Democrats put him
there. That was i'll 1882, and though
l.. a. Dunn made a hard fight for the
place, Mahoney defeated him.
For this soft berth there are many
Republican candidates. Carmen n.
Smith, eX-Municipal Court Clerk DAILY.

mention. These gentlemen have all
got their friends, and they propose using
them. Of course, a good deal will de-
pend on how much weight these friends
have with the government. Car
men n. Smith is said TO have the
backing of ID. N. Clough and Loren
Fletcher. These two men, if they pull
together, can do more with Gov. Merit
am than any other half-dozen men in
Minneapolis. d. NJ. Clough and the
governor are like brothers, and as the
latter and Fletcher buried the Ratchet
with the city charter, the man Fletcher
and Clough unite OH Will no doubt get
the place. The Democrats are making
no move whatever, believing that Ma
honey will not quit the bench until his
term has expired.
A local rubber company has struck a
new idea of getting good newspaper adj
vertising, and on the first page, too, by
inducing the newsboys to bring their
papers to the firms store tie be stamped.
In return for this the boys get Sling
shots and small rubber bands, with
which they annoy the public when not
otherwise engaged. This is enterprise
personified, and one of the latest the
cries for getting cheap advertising. In
this way the company promises to give
large reductions on all cash sales.

press and the said rubber
