CORRIDOR CHATS.

'Unce" Loren Fletcher came over from
Minneapolis yesterday morning and spent a
good part of the day in the Capital city. He
was looking as sound as dollar, and de-
clared that he was in better health than he
had been in ten years. In fact he seems TO
be improving faster and faster as the DAYS
go by. This may be due to the prospective
nomination for congress on the Republican
ticket in the new Fifth or Hennepin county
district. which, he says, is only few months
distant.

There is nothing else talked Of in Mime
apolis now, The said. save the means by
which we are to get the national convention
next year. Every one is doing all in his
power TO secure that and will talk about
nothing else. When the convention is Sc
cured some interest may be taken in politics
again, although do not look for much ac
tivity in that direction until spring.
you will be candidate for the Repubii-
can nomination.
''Yes, sir, answered MIR. Fletcher, land 1
do not anticipate any difficulty in securing
it. In fact, do not expect any opposition
in the party and at the primaries. At the
election may have some opposition. The
Democrats are getting so enthusiastic that
they will probably make a fight. The more
clubs they have the better it is for US. And
now, good bye; am going in to call on
Brother Doran. Before 1 go, however. let
me tell you something And then the Hen
nepin statesman whispered:
When the North Star boys do up Brother
Doran they will know more than they do
now, but they won't be so pretty"
This parting shot provoked burst of
laughter, in the midst of which Uncle Loren
made his escape across the street, where he
was soon engaged in chatting with the
Democratic leader, Hon. Michael Doran.

Hon. Nathan Kingsley, the we'll known
Austin attorney, spent yesterday forenoon
looking after some law business in Mime
apolis, and i'll the afternoon came down the
river and spent an hour or two at the Mer-
chants. Whether it was due TO his recent
success in the legal field or from a fear that
it is too early to enter the political arena for
an office which is not to be flied for year.
the fact is that Mr.. Kingsley had little to say
regarding his intentions next year, and if he
really meant the little he did say he will be a
candidate for neither seat in congress or
place OH the bench next year.
81 am not ana shall not be candidate for
any office next year." said the Mower county
statesman earnestly. Il shall devote myself
to my business It is a certainty, and there
is nothing in politics that can be set down
IN that class. do not anticipate that there
will be any lack of candidates for both the
congressional and judicial nominations on
the Republican side. There never has BEEN"

Bishop II. B. Whipple, of Faribault, was in
the city yesterday TO attend meeting of the
trustees of the Seabury mission, looking hale
and hearty, and evidently feeling just as
good as he appeared. When he was asked
about the workings of the school experiment
at Faribault he said it was merely an ex-
pertinent, and 1t might be productive of good
results.
when 1 was boy my father told me a
story that have always remembered" said
the venerable bishop 1T was how two men
became rich. One amassed his wealth by at
tending to his own business, and the other
by letting the business of other PEOPLE alone.
The example of these men might be emu
lated by everybody to their own benefit"

mayor Winston is one of the best chief
executives Minneapolis has ever had re-
marked Representative George E. McAllister,
of Minneapolis, al the Merchants yesterday
HE looks into everything very carefully.
and then does exactly as he thinks Is right.
Under him there is no power behind the
throne and there are no favorites who are
granted special privileges"

Senator A. ". Stockton, of Rice county,
stopped over in st. Paul just twenty-five min
utes last evening, and wisely improved that
brief time by running up to the Merchants
where he met several friends. He had spent
the day at ST. Peter, looking after some bust
ness matters and made a trip of over 100
miles to get home, the distance across coun-
try from St Peter to Faribault being only
about forty miles, Close connections, how
ever, enabled him to get home in little less
time than it would have taken to drive from
one place tc the other.
