his journey to Washington in the evening.
Senator Casey. who has been i'll Minneapolis
for several days looking after the grain re-
ceipts from the big Casey farm near James
town. \. D., on receiving the information
that his colleague would be in st. Paul yes
terday, ran over to meet him. Several hours
were spent in conversation by the pair, al
though both insisted that they knew nothi ng
about politics, and had simply been talking
about the wonderful wheat crop of North
Dakota and the prospects for getting it
threshed
If winter should commence the middle of
November, as it does sometimes said Sena-
ator Casey, lat least 25 per cent of the crop
would not be threshed: but if the winter
does not set III until after Dec. s. as it usually
does, all will be we'll yet There are at least
six or seven weeks of threshing yet TO be
done. and. with tolerable weather for that
length of time. all of the wheat will be
threshed -
HAS the wheat that is not yet threshed
been damaged much by the ran:'
NO man can teIl.'' answered the James
town senator. 1T IS my opinion that the
damage will not be so great as reported. But,
of course, this Will depend altogether upon
the condition the crop was III when the
storm came. We have shipped so far thirty
cars. of which twenty were graded No. l
hard, and four were given lower grades. IL
was wonderful crop. The average yield
per acre on my farm, so far has been
twenty-five bushels per acre. l sold a man
farm near Darlington, Foster county. last
spring at 50 per acre. and his crop will pay
for the farm and all expenses besides

81 regard the tariff question as a settled
one for ten years at least broke in Senator
Hansbrough at this point, as though the pass
age of the Mckinley bill had made the good
crops. Il don't think congress will care to
change d tariff law that is working as adj
vantageously as the present one. The good
results OF the Mckinley tariff are just COM
mencing TO show themselves"

Senator Hansbrough is young man in
politics as far as years go, but he is an ex-
ceedingly clever politician just the same.
W hen the subject of presidential candidates
on the Republican side was preached, he was
asked whether there was any truth in the re-
port that he had Topped from Blaine to
Harrison and sent marked copies of newspa-
pers containing Harrison interviews to the
White house.
81 stand just where I always Stood he
said boldly. Harrison has made a good
president. and deserves q denomination and
reelection, but Blaine can have the nomi-
nation If he wants it,
"But Maj. Edwards says
Maj. Edwards has shown himself n COM
plete failure as business man, as well as a
politician and his vaporings are not worth
consideration, and never pay any attention
to them

Minneapolis as place for the meeting Of
the Republican national convention next
year came up next. and both senator's talked
freely upon the subject Senator Casey was,
perhaps, the most enthusiastic advocate of
the Mill City. but Senator Hansbrough was
also favorable, and viii be able TO do a great
deal more than his colleague, for the sim
pie reason that he is member of
the Republican national committee,

IF Republican hopes in Iowa, New York
and Ohio are realized said the DEVILS Lake
statesman, Minneapolis will stand very
good show of securing the convention. The
Eastern states will be regarded as in very
good shape, and the attention of the party
will be turned to the West have not met a

"Of course we want the national conven-

Senator Casey expressed himself.

Senator Hansbrough was accompanied by
his wife, who has almost entirely recovered
from her illness. Senator Casey went back
TO Minneapolis on an afternoon train, and

his hands full up to that time taking care of
his crops.

Senator Henry Keller. of Sank Center, was
one of The earliest arrivals at the Merchants
yesterday morning. lis GRAND was alto
gether of a business nature, and goes to
show that the Stearns. county senator is al
ways on ihe alert to do something that will
benefit his town. Saturday night the shed
which has served for the Manitoba depot for
10, these many years, was burned and yes
terday Senator Keller dropped his business
and made the trip to ST. Paul TO persuade the
Great Northern 10 build brick depot in
place of the one just burned he called
upon President Hill early and late, and at

two yearling heifers TO Kanazama Kaga.
Japan. He sent them TO San Francisco.
from which place they were taken to Yoko-
hama by steamer. Three days journey by
rail and nine days over land completed the
trip i'll all over 5000 miles. The freight
alone on the two animals amounted to
$35S. so. This added to the price of the cattle
and made the total cost something pretty
large.
P. II. O'Hara. of Henning. one of the
leaders of the Otter Tail country Democracy,
was i'll the city yesterday on business In
speaking of local politics in the Seventh dis
triet, he gave it rs his opinion that the
Alliance is rather gaining than losing. The
good crops have helped rather than retarded
the movement according to Mr.. O'Hara, and
the work OF organizing is going on rapidly.
Il am strongly i'll favor OF q fusion
OF the Democracy and Alliance next
year, he said in course of his talk Divide
the electoral ticket. the state offices, con-
gresham and county offices. Minnesota
ought not to so Republican and } not be-
lieve it will. The Democrats have it in their
power to prevent such thing coming to
pass, and believe they will do it,
