The Pickerel statesman, Othe rWise known
as Senator 4. F. Pettigrew. of South Dakota,
was prominent figure around the hotel lob
bies yesterday, having came up from his home
at Sioux Falls on the morning train. AL

VIII Senator Moody be a candidate for the
Republican nomination.
mo, sir; he has already announced that he
will not only not be candidate, but also
that he would not accept the nomination if
it were offered to him. OF course. l cannot
say who the Republicans will nominate, only
that it will be a man from the south or west
of the state. owing to the fact that Maj. Pick
Ter represents the northern portion, for
while we have no congressional districts a
rule has been established to the effect that
one man should be taken from one section
and another from the other. The Black
hills has a number of good men, and if that
| section would unite on some man like
Mayor Sol Starr. of Deadwood. or Frank
| Washabaugh they might stand chance of
being nominated"

Marcus DAILY. perhaps the liyeliest member
of the Big Four, of Montana, reached ST.
Paul yesterday morning from the West, and
| left for New YORK last evening. In reply to
| a question. Mr.. Daily said that the Anaconda
mine would resume as soon as the smel.er
and railroad people could agree on freight
rates. The main trouble has been that the
