TALKS IN TAVERNS.

1ALhS I'm Law EhNS.
Congressman John W. Rife, of the Four
teenth Pennsylvania district, passed through
St Paul yesterday on his way TO the Pacific
coast, stopping off at st. Paul long enough to
dine at the Ryan and take a glimpse at some
OF The points of interest in and about the
city. Congressman Rife is one Of the leading
Republicans of Central Pennsylvania and
represents the Harrisburg. or capital district
in the national house. He is now serving
his second and probably his last term. as by
party usages the next congressman must be
taken from Dauphin county. Two terms is
not long time TO give a man, but it is all
they are allowed in the country districts of
the keystone state where either party has 8
decided majority and there are two or more
counties contained in the district.
Congressman Rife is not much of a talker,
at least at this particular time, although he
told the GLOBE man that he was not running
away from the fight that is being waged with
so much force in his state this year. In
speaking of the campaign he said that the
Democrats had very cleverly mapped out a
campaign on what they termed state issues, >
and up to the present time have succeeded
in holding the fight in that groove.
'.rhe Bardsley business" continued the
worth. although 1 do not think it will have
the effect intended. The Republican state
ticket is a very strong one. and very satisfac-
tory to all elements of the party.
What effect will the extra session of the
state senate called by Gov. Patlison have
upon the campaign"
THAT viii depend entirely upon what is
done at the extra session answered the
statesman. There is very general impress
sion among the Republicans that the gov
ernor called the senate together simply to
furnish additional campaign thunder for his
party. In case this can be shown il may
prove a boomerang. There are very grave
doubts as to whether the constitution confers
any such power upon the chief executive OF
the state
rs Gov Pattison likely to be candidate
for the Democratic nomination for president
next year:'
Il think so, provided Cleveland is out OF
the race. 1t is thought that he will be the
choice of the ex- president and his friends in
case the former does not see fit to take the
honor. The Pennsylvania Democray, while
it will give Gov. Pattison q complimentary
vote, is for Cleveland"
Senator John E. Haggart, of Fargo. was a
colony in St. Paul yesterday, although he did
not tarry long in the city, going north on the
evening train. Senator Haggart was pro-
foundry ignorant on the subject of North
Dakota politics, SO much so. indeed, that
his actions created a suspicion that he is him
self looking after Senator Casey's seat in the
United States senate. When he was asked
in regard to the chances of Mayor Ball. of
Fargo, he simply said that he did not be-
lieve that the mayor would be a candidate.
This was such an unexpected statement that
the little coterie around Senator Haggart
looked as though they doubted it. The idea
that an old-time resident of North Dakota
like Mayor Ball should decline to be can
didate for the United States senatorship
when every other able bodied man. in the
state was in the race. Therefore a few non
residents have been in the field as one of the
crowd impressed upon his companions
''oh, you need not worry broke in the
Fargo statesman there will be candidates
enough when the time comes. The prairies
are full of them
Gov. Burke, of North Dakota, who is
spending some time in this city receiving
medical treatment, wandered into the Mer-
chants yesterday afternoon and shook hands
new commonwealth In speaking of the
people who lost their crops by prairie fires in
Emmons county, he said that the matter
was in the hands of the commissioner of ag-
riculture. If, after investigation, this officer
finds that it is necessary to give relief he will
give it subject of course. to the approval of
the governor. In regard to politics the gov
ernor was inclined to be as close as the pro-
verbal oyster.
North Dakota he finally said, will I'M
doubleday be for Blaine If he is candidate.
President Harrison has given us good adj
mfnistration, however, and has really done q
great deal for North Dakota For these
reasons 1 can't talk Blaine, and | do not
want to do it, .e-s|Ss
Sheriff W. j. Glynn, of Blue Earth county,
was prominent figure in the Merchants
lobby yesterday. He is one of the rising
young men of Southern Minnesota, being in
all probability the youngest sheriff in the
state. He is a Democrat, and was elected on
the fusion county ticket in Blue Earth year
ago. He is what is termed a rustler, and ii
he is renominated next year it will take q
mighty good man to defeat him, fusion or no
fusion, in spite OF the 500 Republican plu-
rality in the county.
Senator Frank A. Day, OF FairmOnt dropped
into the city yesterday morning, and remained
just long enough to transact some business
and catch train south. The crops in Martin
county, he said, were never better. and as a
consequence business is very good--so good
that the people have no time to discuss pol
itics.
Editor John A. Johnson. of the st. Peter
Herald, is at the Merchants
Secretary John d. Sheedy of the Alliance
Hail Insurance company, of Austin, spent
yesterday in the Sanity City looking after
some business matters.
Prof. W. F. Rocheleau, state institute con-
ductor and professor in the Moorhead nor
NAL school, spent yesterday in the city. The
Moorhead school, although new institu-
ton. is doing remarkably we'll, according to
Prof. Rocheleau, and will soon be as strong
as its S.. Cloud Winona and Mankato rivals.
The large crop ana general prosperity attend
ing it have given the northern part of the
state a shove forward that is being felt as
well in the schools as in business.
