HEARD AT THE HOTELS.

chants lobby and spent an hour or so IN
conversation with his friends. Mr. Gilman
was in the best possible frame of mind, and
seemed more like the jovial, though always
thoughtful and long headed lieutenant gov
ernor of six years ago, than he has for
number of years. He laughed and talked
with Senator M. L. Mccormack, of Grand
Forks, for some time. The approach of the
GLOBE representative caused him 10 cease
talking for time, and in answer to ques-
ton, he declared that he knew nothing at all
about politics or anything except business
and crops. When he said this the willy
Stearns county man smiled a smile that
would have done credit to man laying the
most extensive system of political wires ever
put down.
what do you think of ex-Congressman
Nelson's Washington interview in which he
is made to say that he is not in it for gov
ernor?''
Il think that Mr.. Nelson never said any
thing of the kind" answered Mr.. Gilman
with shake of the head. HE is not man
to talk i'll that way Just at present he is out
of politics and attending strictly to business,
and know him well enough to feel sure that
he never said anything 10 the effect that he
is either i'll or out of the race for governor
Nelson is too shrewd man to do that He
never was known TO do great deal of talk
ing to the papers. anyway"
'St. Cloud seems to have a number of favor
able candidates (Republican) for congress
in the new Sixth district next year." said the
Globe man. (which one seems to have the
best choice of securing the nomination.
Il do not know anything about any caldi-
date, responded Mr.. Gilman with an eleva-
ton of his heavy eyebrows. Il presume,

be willing to accept nomination next year.
We have always had the reputation of hay
ing an abundance of TIMBER
1T is remarkable" chimed in Senator Nc
Cormack, ''how many men are willing to be
put up for Office. although the statutes do
not require them to accept nominations"
Il am out of politics now, aud attending
strictly to business continued the ex-lieu-
tenant governor There may be some
chance for little fellows when one or two
parties are broken up by having nominations
placed on cash basis. AS things are now,
there is none whatever. It will cost those
without experience considerable to learn
this, however and it has cost those with it SO
much that they cannot afford to go on and
Utilize it.
THAT reminds me of a little thing that
came under my observation a short time ago.
An acquaintance of mine told me he pro-
posed to &C to the lumber woods the coming
winter. During the summer he runs a
steamboat on the Red river and this struck
me as being new departure, so 1 asked him
what this meant.
Why said he, If have good luck. per-
haps can make money enough this winter
to run my boat next summer
"And This is the way it is i'll politics. The
politicians have occasionally got TO stop and
do something to make money with which TO
go in the next time"
j. Fl. Lander, who holds the position of
cattle inspector of Montana, after making a
tour of the Twin City stockyards yesterday,
dropped into the Merchants for little chat
with has friend, Secretary Cross, of the state
agricultural society. The report that Deer
Lodge, Mon, had been visited by heavy
snow storm. troubled Col. Lander not little,
because of The fact that if true it would be
the cause of cutting off the shipment of at
least 10000 Montana cattle this fall.
This has been a great year for the cattle
business in Montana" remarked Mr. Lander
in fact the greatest in the history of the
state, he continued. ''Since July 4, no less
than 100000 head have been shipped East
and about GO, 900 more will be shipped in the
next few weeks if the weather and the mar
ket will permit. Previous to this year the
largest shipment OF cattle in any one year
amounted to 10000 head so you see that
with favorable weather and fair prices this
years shipments will be at least 80 per cent
larger than those of any previous year. If
there is three feet of snow at Deer Lodge
you can count upon at least 20 900 head being
left behind. Cattle in herd and waiting for
shipment cannot be kept together in a snow
storm liza that nd If no 10 q
new roundup will have to be made, which
will take thirty days and be the means of
preventing the shipment OF at least the num-
Der of cattle have named"
"How do the Montana cattlemen like the
St. Paul market?'
Every well, indeed answered Col. Lander.
/ have sold cattle in st. Paul this year that
melted me $3.50 per head. The immense
weight this year brings the price up. Grass
fed steers have been sold here that weighed
as high as 1,740 pounds"
81 am holding my wheat" was the remark
made by Oliver Dalrymple. the bonanza
farmer of North Dakota, at the Merchants
yesterday afternoon. The prices" he con-
tinued. ''can not be any lower, in my opin-
ion. and they may be higher. / am about
through threshing, but 1 can not tell how
much wheat have yet as the reports are not
yet in. The yield has not been twenty-five
bushels to the acre, however. The damage
from frost is about what anticipated when
was in this city some time ago. That esti-
mate was that about one-seyenth of the crop
would be damaged
Mr.. Dalrymple was averse to talking about
his crop, or making any estimate as to the
probable yield of his great farm, and as soon
as he made his escape he fastened toward a
brokers Office To the closing rrioac Of tho
great cereal.
Senator Ignatius Donnelly reached St. Paul
yesterday morning, on his way home to
Hastings. after speaking at Little Falls and
Sank Center. When he reached the Mer-
chants he was SO tired that he went at once
to his room, and spent several hours in gain
ing much-needed rest. Coming fresh from
the people, the Sage was filed with informa-
ton, which he was not at all averse to giving
out
ut is mistake he said, 'to say that the
people will go back ON the Peoples party be-
cause of the crops. 1t is not true. The new
party is growing steadily, and is now strong
er than ever in my opinion, which is founded
upon what have Observed
Are you favorable to a fusion of the Dem
ocratic and Peoples parties next year!i
Generally speaking, | am not in favor of
fusion with any party. but IN local matters
it is sometimes advisable. 1t is too far ahead
to discuss next years conflict 1t will be
here quite soon enough"
