ROUND OF THE REGISTERS.

Ex-Lieut. Gov. Barto, of Sank Center was
beyond reasonable doubt, the largest and
heaviest guest at the Merchants Yesterday
Maj. Edwards of Fargo was also there: but
heavy as he is, he is not in it with the Sank
Center statesman when it comes to contest
in weight. Col. Barto is at the present time
the register of the ST. Cloud land office, and
is generally supposed to be willing to make
the congressional race on the Republican
ticket in the new Sixth district next year.
And, perhaps. he has rather better claim to
the nomination than most of the candidates
that have been mentioned. In 1883 he was
one of the leading candidates. but ex-Con-
gresham Comstock walked off with the
honor. Gov. Barto is one of those men who
do not hesitate to express themselves on any.
question asked them, and yesterday when he
was questioned as to his candidacy, he said !:
1T is too early to talk about the campaign
of next year, and l do not believe it is good
politics to inaugurate the campaign so far
ahead. can assure you of one thing, how
ever. and it is that there are large number
of good Republicans in the Sixth district who
can be elected to congress next year. Good
timber is plentiful, and the man nominated
by the Republicans viii win. / do not feel
equal to the task of telling you the name of
the nominee l do not believe any one can
do that until the convention has been heidi
but, governor, that is not the question"
said the reporter. Twill you be a candidate
for the nomination.
at is too early to discuss that question"
answered the Sank Center leader with a
smile. Il shall not say whether or not will
be in the race until later
Il
Maj Edwards. the well-known founder of
10 Ear rfr@h op hoo,
eral days in the Twin Cities picking out an
outfit for new evening paper which he pro-
poses to start at Fargo, dropped into the
Merchants lobby for a short time yesterday
afternoon and entertained a number of
friends and acquaintance for time with
narrative Of his experiences in the law bust
ness
Il opened law Office few days ago and
was waiting for business when | heard OF
the verdict in the Donnelly case. l was dis
gusted, and made up my mind that there
was too little in the business for me- and
l shut up shop and came down 10 ST. Paul. ~
There seems to be perfect harmony in
newspaper circles at Fargo now. major?''
There was never so much harmony to the
square inch between the papers in Fargo be-

and Col. Jordan are dwelling together in
peace. Fargo as well as all other parts of
North Dakota, is i'll excellent condition, and

nice weather will be boon to North Dakota.

GOV. Boies is a splendid man. a fine cam

II. Moeller, OF Havana, Cuba, was an ar
rival at the Ryan yesterday. Mr.. Moeller is
connected with large commission house at
Havana and is spending a few months in
travelling over the United States and is gain
ing information and needed rest as well He
is exceedingly well Informed upon the COM
mercial interests of Cuba, and believes
that both this coantry and that rich Spanish

Hon. W. Fl. Leeman. prosecuting attorney
of Sibley county, came down tbs Minnesota
valley from his home at Henderson to attend
to some law business in this city yesterday,
and was so impressed with the prosperous
look OF the country that b. the time he
reBched st. Paul he had almost forgotten
about his law cases. A half-hour of story
telling and political gossip in the Merchants
lobby fixed up matters, and he was able TO
go back home on the evening train Mr..
Il,
Eighth judicial district, and has law prac-
tice that reaches into nearly every county in
the district. He has been prosecuting attor-
ney of his county for several terms. and in
1883, as we'll as last year. was prominently
mentioned in connection with the Demo
cratic nomination for congress in the Second
district, to which Sibley county then be-
longed.
Il
Hon. P. H. Rahilly, the white bearded
statesman from Wabasha county, was a
familiar figure in the Clarendon lobby last
evening, having stopped off here for the
night on his way West. He is looking ex-
tremely well. and when asked as to the
cause of it he donned farmer-like air and
declared it all came from working on his
farm. He will go west this morning to look
after some lands in Western Minnesota.
Il
Aid. A. C. Weiss of Duluth. is spending a
few days in the city and is stopping at the
Merchants. Mr.. Weiss, although a Demo
crat, and strong one at that, represents one
of the Republican wards of his city in the
council, and is quite likely to be the Demo
cratic candidate for mayor at the next city
election.
