RoTUNDA RIPPLES.

Capt. S. p Snider, ex-member of the Min
nesota legislature, and the representative in
the lower house of congress of this district
for the past two. years was in the city for a
short time yesterday afternoon, having just
returned from Texas. His usually bland
countenance was fairly wreathed in smiles,
and he looked as happy as though he were
stlll holding down a seat in the national
house indeed he looked a great deal
more self-satsfied than he ever did when he
was being importuned for postoffices and
clerkships. He has grown slightly stouter
in the past year, and is. in fact the picture
of health. In answer to a question of the
GLOBE man, Capt. Snider said that he was
still in politics although not for himself.
~ shall be ready to take off my coat and
work for whoever is nominated in the new
Fifth district continued the ex-member,
"but am not and shall not be a candidate
again. .
"Who will be the nominees"
''Well. there are a number of strong men be-
ing mentioned for the honor" answered the
captain First on the list is, of course. Loren
Fletcher Next in order would name Judge
Rea and John Day Smith. This does not by
anv means exhaust the list of available and
strong men who could be named by the Hen
nepin Republicans. lam confident the nom
inee will be elected by good majority" II
''Did you observe the workings of the Alli-
ance in the South?'
YES and l can assure you that there is a
great deal of Alliance sentiment down there, "
responded the Hennepin statesman, ''but |
do not think it will result in a third party.
The scheme seems to be to organize the ALI
ance principally in Republican states"
How do the Southern Republicans feel as
to movement for president next year!"
''Blaine is popular everywhere" was the
answer. ''In fact no one else seems 10 be
mentioned to any extent. In case Mr.. Blaine
is not a candidate, President Harrison might
receive the votes of the Southern delegates.
On the Democratic side Senator German is
developing considerable strength, and the
South would go wild over his nomination" "

AN. Dare editor of the Sherburne Star
News, was another Blaine man who dropped
into the city yesterday. Mr.. Dare believes
that the nomination of the secretary of state
will be demanded by so overwhelming por-
ton of the party that he cannot avoid ac-
ceptng the honor.

Hon. Alvah Eastman, of Anoka formerly
and where he still owns and operates one OF
the best local papers i'll the state. ran into
the city and spent good portion of the day
talking politics and business. When he was
asked if he was considering newspaper
deal in the SANITY City he remarked that the
duties Of his Office would carry him to Louis
vile, KY, in a day or two.
But is it not fact that you were consider
ing the matter OF purchasing the Daily
News?' persisted the reporter.
L don't know anything about 1t, y answered
the Anoka statesman with a smile. You
know how easy it is to start rumor Of that
kind"
There seems to be something more than a
rumor i'll this"
well, haven't anything to say about it, u
broke in Mr. Eastman. Il am not RESPONSE
bic for all the rumors that may be put out
regarding my movements"

Ex-Congressman Mark II. Dunnell, of the
First district, dropped his business cares yes
terday and made his regular semi-annual
trip to the Sanity City. He is looking quite
natural, and walks as briskly as ever. He
has no time for politics, and makes the as
sertion that the people Of Steele county have
no time to discuss politics just now.

yet made its appearance in our county, and
do not believe that it will, do not believe
that Steele county farmers have any use for
it. The good crops and general prosperity
of the farmers will tend to keep such organi-
zations down, and it is safe to predict that
in Steele county at least the contest next
year will be between theA old organizations,
the Democrats and Republicans, with the
chances decidedly in favor of the latter"

President John Wilson, of the Dilworth
Cattle Company at Clarks Fork, Mont, was
in the city yesterday on his way back East
from a trip to his ranch. He was called West
by the murder of the manager of the com
pany, James r. Dilworth, who was killed last
| month by Il man called ''Frenehy,' whose
real name is Godfrey De Mars. The two men
were quarreling over a claiII when the killing
occurred. The Dilworth Cattle Company is
one of the largest in Montana and has ovel
10000 head of cattle grazing on its ranges.
''Our cattle are in excellent condition,
said Mr.. Wilson. Indeed he continued
they could not fail to be so. have never
seen the grass so luxuriant as it is this year
Cattle are now at a fair price and there is d
chance of the cattlemen making up some OF
their losses of the past few years"
