ROTUNDA RIPPLES.


Daniel Buck. the old Roman Of Mankato,
came down from his home yesterday morn
ing, and, after making his address at the
State Fair, dropped into the city and spent
the afternoon at the Merchants. He was
much pleased with the agricultural show as
1t is managed this year, the eminent Manka-
toan paying high tribute to the york of Sec
rotary Cross and his assistants Passing on
to the subject of politics, Mr.. Buck said that
he thought the prospects of the Democracy
in the next state campaign to be better than
ever.
81 believe" he said, that we shall enter
the fight with a united and harmonious
party, and this we want very much, indeed.
am quite sure that all sides ought to be
willing to concede almost anything to secure
unity of action. 1 believe. too that l reflect
the sentiment of all sides when / say that
nothing can prevent our presenting united
front to the opposition next year."
IT
Here the conversation was Interrupted by
the approach Of Senator La Due of Rock
county, who. after warmly greeting the Man
kato jurist SAID:
Here is our candidate for congress in the
Second district next year. He can be elected
over anybody that can be nominated against
him.
''But cannot accept nomination for con-
gress next year" said Judge Buck, deprecat-
ingly. land if you are friend of mine, SEN
ator, you will not advocate my nomination.
not only do not want the nomination. but
SPEAK the truth when 1 say that do not
want the Office either. At my time of life
cannot afford to break up my business TO T
two wears at W ashington"

Mr.. Buck and Senator La Due chatted
pleasantly on non-politicaI topics for half
hour or so, and the Old Roman was kept busy
receiving the congratulations of his friends
for the remainder of the afternoon. The
members of the Alliance state committee
and the members of the Reform Press associ-
alton nearly all called upon him in the course
of the afternoon. Democrats and Republi-
cans from all parts of the state followed their
example until the time came for Mr.. Buck to
go TO his tain.
Ex-Sheriff Alonzo Brandenburg, of Fergus
Falls, was another well-known figure i'll the
LOBBY of the Merchants yesterday forenoon.
Mr.. Brandenburg went down in the general
carnage of last year in Otter Tail, and is now
the president of the Citizens National Bank
OF Fergus Falls. He is a genial. whole
souled gentleman, and nothing but the over
whelming Alliance vote defeated him last
year in Otter Tail. He visited the State Fair
in the afternoon and went north on the
evening train.
