THE HOTEL CORRAL.

Wis, passed through ST. Paul yesterday on
his way to Hayward, where he will to-day
commence the trial of the last case he will
try before taking his seat on the district
court bench of the Badger state. The Judge
has long been one of the most prominent at
torneys in Wisconsin. and has appeared in
the courts of nearly every county in the CEN
trail and northern part of his state in the
course of his practice. \ few weeks ago he
tried the celebrated Little Falls waterpower
| case in Morrison county, after taking il TO
| the supreme court OF this state once, and
winning his point. He had intended that the
Little Falls case should be his last button his
return to Eau Claire he found a request
awaiting him from prominent lumberman
OF Hayward, who got into little trouble
few months since, and will have none other
than Judge Bailey defend him.
MY duties on the bench he said, "com-
mence the first week i'll January, and I had
| intended to try no cases this month, but I
could not refuse to go to Hayward"
-
! Judge Bailey is one of the Democratic lead
| ers of the Badger state, and came within
| few votes of defeating Congressman Haugen
and being member of the lower house of
| congress that will meet next Monday in
Washington. He made this phenomenal race
| for congress in the fall of 1890, and last
| spring he was nominated and elected judge.
! While this position takes him out of politics,
| Judge Bailey cannot help taking great in
terest in the fight for the speakership now
| under way at Washington. In speaking of
| the situation he said:
! Il rather expect that Mr. Mills will be the
successful man, although personally would
| prefer to see Northern man like Springer,
of Illinois, win. Any one of the men in the
| 6aI
| speaker, and 50 there is no reason for any
anxiety on that score
How will the eight Democratic members
from Wisconsin yote?"
Really, know nothing of their inten-
| uOnS, answered the Eau Claire jurist Il
| have talked to none of them recently and
only know what l read in the papers and
hear from third parties. / have heard that
soma of them feel kindly toward Mr.
| Springer, and I would not be surprised if
they gave HIM a pretty nearly unanim Gus
vote at first in the caucns"

Col. c. II. Brush. Of Fergus Falls. the
courtly and agreeable gentleman who holds
| the position of national bank examiner for
Minnesota. was at the Merchants last even
| ing resting after day spent in his work of
| examing the national banks of this city, He
held in his hand copy of morning paper
| of this city, distinguished for the inaecuracy
of its so-called Washington specials
Here is something new, he said, pointing
to an article in the paper to the effect that
! the authorities at Washington were searching
| for new man to succeed him i'll the office of
| bank examiner. Ill-health was the alleged
| cause, although there were other reasons for
! change intimated, all of which Co l. Brush
was supposed to know.
The fact of the matter is" said the col
onel, ''that this is the first intimation have
had that was in poor health and unable to
attend to my duties. So far as l know was
never in better health, and 1 know that 7
have performed all the duties of my Office
and have no intention whatever of resigning.
and 1 do not believe that there is a move on
| o0t TO re.ire me- is Ihlve heard nothing in
the way of a C omplaint from the depart
ment"
Although Col. Bush declin ed 10 discuss
| the matter further. a rumor comes from
| another source to the effect that some polit-
| ical enemies of the Fergus Falls man are
| working against him at Washington. There
! is no reason for the bank examiner to feel at
! ali worried, however as the prominence and
! power of his hackers render him imDregnabIe
as long as he performs his duties He was
appointed at the request OF Senator Wash
| burn, and Senator Davis feels kindly toward
| him. These two facts are enough to defeat
al the work that disgruntled politicians may
| do.

Judge D. B. Searle. of ST. Cloud, was the
guest of Judge Collins, at the Merchants,
yesterday. These two jurists are and always
have been, fast friends, and for few years
have been close together iu plucking the
| honoTs of their profession. Judge Collins
was elevated TO the supreme court bench
from tina: of the Seventh district four years
ago by Gov. McGill who named Judge Searle
as his successor on the district bench Judge
| Searle is man of commanding presence.
| with an eye like an eagle. and beard slightly
inclined to be reddish in hue. He is popular
| in his district, and in 1855 was given a unani
nous election to his present position. Dur
| ing the past few months he has been fire.
| quently named as a likely candidate for the
| Republican congressional nomination in the
new Sixth district He was asked to state
his position in regard to this last evening,
and responded by saying:
Il am ont of politics.
Don't spoil good judge to make poor
! congressman, judge exclaimed Judge
Bailey, of Eau Claire, who was standing
near.
Oh the judge does not want that nominal
ton, > remarked Judge Collins i'll an authori-
tative way.
''Just state that I am out of politics and
! oblige me- said Judge Searle at this Juno
ture, but in way that would leave one to
draw almost any inference from the state
ment
il
Sheriff J. C. Nugen; of Buffalo, was in
the city yesterday on business matters. Mr..
! Nugent was elected sheriff of Wright county
| year ago for about the fourteenth time
which is great tribute to his popul arity, as
he is a Democrat, and Wright county has
| always been Republican.

President Durant, Secretary Moody and
State Organizer j. d. Kynaston, of the North
| Star Association of Democratic clubs,
dropped into the city yesterday, and held
| conference at the Merchants. Ali these
declared themselves in line for St. Paul in
her contest for the national convention, and
ready to do all in their power to help the
project along. President Durant announced
that the North Star movement is flourishing
| and that new clubs are being organized right
along. Secretary Moody produced lists of
members to prove that there is club in ex-
istence at Sauk Rapids. the assertions of the
Free Press of that town TO the con-
trarv notwithstanding. State Organizer
| Knyaston, who is a round. genial
young man OF about thirty years of age, took
but little part in the conversation beyond
stating that he would soon commence the
work of organizing clubs throughout the
state. After spending few hours in and
| around the Merchants the trio dispersed,
| singing:
/ q I'VE three shall meet again Tomorrow"
= ''Just what these frequent meetings of the
/ North Star leaders mean they decline to say
but there is rumor in circulation to the
! effect that Mayor Durant is being quietly
groomed for candidate for the Democratic
guberuatorial convention next year.
