RoTUNDA RIPPLEs.

"A landslide is the term applied to the
overwhelming Democratic victory q year
ago by the Republican leaders in all parts Of
the country who are afraid to enter into an
explanation Of the causes which produced
it. But it was not a land slide in anything
but the size of the victory, the quality of the
men elected to Office being of the highest.
Three of the members of the Fifty-second
congress, which will convene in Washington
on the first Monday of next December. met
and dined together at the Ryan last evening.
They were: Hon. W. J. Bryan, of the First
Nebraska; Hon. o. NJ. Hall, of the Third dis
trict of this state, and Hon. j. N Castle. of
this, the Fourth district of Minnesota. All
three are new members, but il ell the other
new members are cast in the same mould
neither the Democratic party nor the country
need have any fear as to the character of the
work that will be performed at the coming
session. Every member Of the trio is
worker, as untiring as they are able, and the
states of Minnesota and Nebraska il wise
enough to give these new members the
opportunity, will be heard from in coming
sessions of the national legislature. Con-
gresham Bryan has been spending q few
days in the Twin Cities with his wife,
the two departing for their home at
Lincoln over the Omaha last evening.
to the late Samuel j. Randall. and i'll his own
district is regarded as the coming man. He
has recently been on the stump in Iowa, and
in few days will go ON to Ohio to aid in the
battle against Mckinley. He is a polished,
but convincing, speaker, and seems to have
an almost inexhaustible fund of information
on the tariff question.

Congressman Hall came up from Red Wing
Yesterday afternoon to make the acQuaint-
ance of the distinguished Nebraskan,
and, after the latter had departed concluded
to remain over until to-day. The platform
adopted on Thursday by the Pennsylvania
Democrats struck Mr.. Hall as being the most
powerful indictment ever made by political
party by its opponents.
1.-THE charges are SO specific" said Mr..
Hall, that they must have great effect. The
amounts stolen from the state by the various
officials are exact to the cent, and in ac-
cordance with the reports of the committees
and experts that have been investigating
the Bardsley scandal in Philadelphia. While
conceding nothing on material issues the
announcement is made that the campaign
will be fought on state issues. 1t strikes me
that Republican speaker in Pennsylvania
this year is placed in q most difficult and
trying position. What can he say In an
swer to the charges made in the Democratic
PLATFORM
Congressman j. n. Castle. of this district,
who defeated Capt. Snider by ouch a hand
some majority. was immensely pleased with
the Nebraska member as, indeed he is with
all Democrats of that caliber. When he
learned that Congressman Bryan would be
in st. Paul this evening, before leaving for
Lincoln he wired his fellow member Con-
gresham Hall to come up and meet him,
and this is how the three statesmen happened
to dine together last evening.
Editor j. G. McManima Of the Pierre Free
Press, dropped into the city yesterday and
is now at the Merchants. He was the first
emigration agent of South Dakota, and has
usually been considered the champion hust-
Ter of the new state. He is enthusiastic over
this years crop and declares that South Da-
kota has an era of prosperity that will eclipse
the old boom days before 1t. In speaking of
the lands west of the Missouri, he said: 1.-The
grazing lands west of the Missouri will I'M
doubtedly be devoted to tile raising of sheep.
To my mind it is the finest grazing country in
the world and is adapted to live stock of any
kind, but especially for sheep raising and
thousands OF head have been put on the
ranges this fall"
who will be the next congressman from
South Dakota:" asked the GLOBE representa-
tive.
ut is hard to tell" answered the Pierre
editor, 'butI do not think there is any doubt
that he will be Republican"
o.
r. D. Hubbard, president of the linseed oil
trust and alderman of ManKato is in the
city. Mr. Hubbard receives salary of S25, 900
per year from the linseed oil trust for his
services as president, but serves the city of
Mankato. where he resides. in the capacity of
alderman for nothing. He is one of the
brai1iest men in Southern Minnesota. and
was one of the organizers of the linseed oil
trust, and has been president from it's organi-
cation.

Peter Journal spent yesterday in the city at
tending to several business matters. Mr..
Johnson is comparatively young man, but
gets out one of the best local papers in the
state. OF course, 1t is Democratic in politics,
and has done great deal toward building up
the party in Nicollet county In 1883 Mr..
Johnson was the Democratic nominee for
representative against Senator C. R. Davis,
and came very near winning the election.
