Gov James K Toole, the handsome chief
executive Of Montana, arrived in ST. Paul
yesterday afternoon direct from Helena He
was accompanied by his wife, formerly Miss
Roseerans daughter of Gen. ". S. Rose
crans better known as ''Old Rosy, 1.-THE dis
tinguished Union general and present regis
ter OF the United States treasury Gov. and
M RS. Toole only tarried a few hours in St.
Paul, taking an evening train for Chicago
from which place they will go on to Wash
ington. This is the first trip East of the
handsome Montanan and his beautiful bride
since their marriage. which took place in
Washington early in 1890. And this is the
first time they have been as far East as st.
Paul, also. since they passed through On their
way to Helena nearly year ago.
j
Gov. Toole is enc of the most popular men
in Montana, and was elected governor at the
first state election over Hon. T. c. Power,
! one of the present United States senators.
|. although the balance of the Democratic
state ticket was defeated. Previous to the
admission of the state Gov. Toole served
number OF terms as delegate in congress- de-
feating every man the Republicans could
find to run against him. Among the men
who went down before MIN in the contests
for delegate was W. f. Sanders, now United
States senator. Judging from the number of
honors the people of Montana have bestowed
| upon him, one might think Gov. Toole at
least fifty years of age, but this is not the
case. He is only about thirty eight years old,
and does not look that. In stature ne is tall
and well proportoned, with fine face and
and unusually handsome head of hair and
an attractive mustache. He is in fact. and
ideal leader from any standpoint. He is not
given to talking politics, except in campaign
years and on the rostrum.
Il
THE people of Montana" he said yester-
day, ARE paying very little attention to poll
tics just at present. Ali branches of business
are booming, and the cattle men especially
are in the midst of their busy season. New
mines are being opened every day and the
development of the state is proceeding at
rate that was never known before. OF course
Montana is Democratic state as will be dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of our Repub-
licsn friends next year. Judge Dixon our
new member of congress, is one of the
ablest men in the state, and will make q
splendid member

William Dudley Fouike, the distinguished
civil service reformer, of Indiana. who has
been spending several days in st. Paul at
tending to some business matters, is d Re
publican, but he is one of the independent
brand. He voted for ex President Cleveland
in 1884, because he was convinced that the
cause of civil service reform and good gov
eminent generally would be best subserved
by the election OF the distinguished New
Yorker. In 1885, however, Mr.. Foulke was
deluded into voting for President Harrison.
How sorry he is can be judged from The first
few words he spoke to a GLOBE man yester-
! day afternoon.
II do not think that President Harrison, if
renominated,' he said, has a ghost of
show of carrying Indiana or of being elected.
In Indiana he has disappointed both fac
tons of the party. He has disappointed the
civil service reformers and independents be-
cause he has used the offices as spoils
and given them to the boys as
plumber for party work and he has
disappointed the politicians because he has
given the Offices to the wrong men. The re-
suit is that almost everybody is mad, and
there are very few persons in Indiana who
have good word 10 say for President Harri-
son !"
now does Blaine stand in Indiana?''
THE fact is that the Republicans in Indi-
ana are generally Blaine men. / am not
Blaine man, but there is no mistaking opin-
ion in the state. / may say, however, that
have considerable admiration for man who
dared to stand up and tell his party it was
wrong, as he did when the Mckinley bill
was passed. The only question in Indiana
is whether Blaine will be l,In, and there
seems to be very strong doubSs as to whether
he will. For my part, don't suppose that he
is in any condition TO make the campaign,
or that he will accept the nomination.
IL
How does Judge Gresham stand with the
Republicans of Indiana?'
Il Judge Gresham is very strong in Indiana,
aud in my opinion he is the best man that
the Republicans can nominate next year.
Gresham aside, l think Robert Lincoln or
Allison would make strong candidates"
lis there any likelihood of President Har-
rison's renomination?'' asked the GLOBE
man.
81 think it very likely that he will" was
the reply, "bnt do not believe 1t is possible
for him TO be reelected. The only thing to
which the administration seems to point
with pride is reciprocity, and that is
Blaine's idea. l think there is considerable
in this reciprocity idea, but am not high
tariff man, and regard reciprocity as road
to an equitable adjustment of duties between
this country and Others"
Il
1.-THE most unfortunate feature of President
Harrisons administration" continued Mr.
Foulke, lis the postoffice department. The
appointment of John Wanamaker as post
master general as a reward for the raising of
money for the purchase of the presidency is
discreditable. Wanamaker seems to be en-
tirely ignorant OF public affairs He was
very good Philadelphia shopkeeper and 1t is
too bad that he was translated to a depart
ment of the government where he was able to
injure the Republican party so seriously by
his connection with the Keystone bank and
| other scandals No one conversant with the
facts in regard to the wrecking of the Phila-
deiphia banks can doubt that Wanamaker
has brought great discredit upon the Repub-
lican party"

Henry Willard. the great Northern Pacific
magnate, is expected to arrive in st. Paul
early next week. He is now in Chicago on
his way West He will tarry in St. Paul a
few days looking after his interests and those
he represents, and will then go to the Pacific
coast. AS usual there are variety of rumors
afioat around the hotel lotbies as to the OBJ
jects of this trip, and Mr. Wizards innocent
tour is alleged 10 be in the interests and for
the purpose of building new short line rail
way between the Twin Cities, and for vari-
ETY. of other purposes quite as absurd.
i
Mr.. Foulke has been travelling through the
Eastern states considerably in the last few
weeks and, being close ana interested OBJ
server is probably as well qualified to pre-
dict results as any man in the country. Mas
sachusetts he thinks, will go Democratic;
New York Republican, Pennsylvania Demo
hie
upon the Buckeye campaign:
I'm Ohio Mckinley has a Republican state,
| and has much the advantage on that ac-
count. Gov. Campbell is certainly an excel
lent man, who has won the respect of many
Republicans as well as Democrats by his
