CORRIDOR CHATS.

Prof. P Stromme, the talented editor Of
Norden, the leading Scandinavian paper of
Chicago and the West, was in St Paul yester-
day, and spent good part of the afternoon
chatting with Congressman Harries and Hall
and other Democratic leaders. He also had
the pleasure Of an Introduction to the Sage
OF Nininger, and after brief chat with him
remarked that he was even more interesting
than he had expected. II have long wanted
to meet Mr.. Donnelly," said Mr.. Stromme
but this is the first time / ever had the OPP
portunity. His pictures as printed in the
newspapers do not give one correct idea
OF him. ] had expected to meet a
much taller man, as we'll as one of
quite different cast of constitution He is
a very interesting conversationalist and his
brightness must make him a very interesting
character as, indeed, il has done" Prof.
Stromme is an enthusiastic tariff reformer,
and in the campaign of last year spoke for
over month in Minnesota. On the stump
he is power and is one of the few campaign
ers who really did make voters for the tariff
reform party in the last campaign. The
change of Norden, his newspaper. has had a
great influence in the Northwest, and has
helped the Democrats UNNECESSARILY in Wis
consin. Minnesota and the Dakotas. Mr..
Stromme arranges his editorial labors so that
he can be away from Chicago two days in
each week, spending these rest days in max
ing trips like this one to the Twin Cities In
this way he keeps posted on public sentiment
and gathers vast fund of information which
SADLY repeated i'll the columns of Norden.

through st. Paul yesterday to Duluth en-
route for a trip from the Zenith City to chi
cago over the lakes He was accompanied
by Mrs, Tawney. and will be gone for several
weeks stopping over for short time at the
500, Mackinaw island and other points of
interest.
Judge William B. Mcconnell, of Fargo.
dropped into the Sanity City yesterday, and
is now at the Merchants. The judge was
appointed to his present position by Presi-
dent Cleveland in the days when the two Da-
kotas were known as the territory of Dakota.
The record made by Judge Mcconnell was
so acceptable to the people of the district
that at the first state election he was elected
for full term over very popular Repub-
iican Judge Newman, although the district
was and is strongly Republican.
Sheriff John P. Hammered, of Stearns
county, ran down from st. Cloud Yesterday,
and spent good part of the day in the
SANITY City. Sheriff Hammered is one of
the Democrats who strictly deserve the ap-
pellation, SO frequently given. fighting Dem
ocrats." lie has been sheriff of his county
several times and last fall after pretty
hard fight, succeeded in wrestling the cleo
ton from the regular Democratic nominee.
He is the publisher of Der Nordstern, Ger
man paper of wide circulation and great IN
fuence, and at present is largely at the front
in Stearns county politics.
Old Scott county is seldom If ever in the
rear of the procession, and certainly was not
at the worlds convention yesterday, Shake
pee sending up a strong delegation, headed
by Senator McHale. The rotund, good-nat-
ured Scott county statesmen was feeling in
the best possible humor, and was absolutely
impervious to all attacks of whatever nature
Some of his friends would grow facetious at
times and make some jes;ing remarks about
his celebrated bill, but he joined right in, and
they gave up all attempts to tease him in
short order. In speaking of the feeling in
his county he said: THE farmers of Scott
county are rather conservative and never
go to extremes in anything. This year they
are feeling decidedly good on their large
crops but they never let up on this account.
A good crop is not a novelty in Scott county.
by the way, for it is a land Of milk and
honey, if there is any such thing, and there
are very few years when the tillers of the soil
down there do not come out ahead"

of MS good humor since he has become
