HEARD AT HOTELS.

hon. Nathan Kingsley. the well-known at
torney of Austin, who has been in the city
for day or two attending to business before
the supreme court left for home yesterday
afternoon. Before going he chatted enter
tainingly on the political situation in Min
nesota. Mr. Kingsley is one of those men
who keep in touch with popular sentiment,
and so come pretty near sizing up the situa-
ton as it is. Although a Republican in pol
itics, he is not hide-bound in his partisan
ship. Like all other Republican leaders in
Minnesota, he is predicting victory in the
state next year provided Blaine is the NOM
inee for president
Every Republican candidate in the state
next year will be carried through if Blaine is
nominated" he said. ''Of course 1 do not
mean by this that all local officers nominated
by the Republicans will be elected, but do
think that the entire state and congressional
tickets will go through. Blane's nomination
viii simplify things IN this state wonderfully
and carry the state whether we do much
work or not
DO you think Blaine will be the nominee:"
Il dc" replied the Austin statesman
when the convention meets no other man
VIII be considered. / think the reports
printed concerning his health have been
greatly exaggerated. If he is in any shape at
all to make the race no one else will stand a
ghost of show of defeating him in the con-
venuon. The party needs him and he must
accept
X. E. Brown. one of the leading young bus
mess men of Mankato, spentyesterday in the
city. Mr.. Brown is at the head of the gas
works in Mankato, and without doubt. one
OF the best men in that business in the state
-
r. A. Dunn. editor of the Winona Herald
was Merchants guest yesterday. Mr.. Dunn
IS quite enthusiastic over the outlook in u
business way in Ninona. and declares that
outside OF Minneapolis aud ST. Paul it is the
best city in the state. While there is no
boom, business is good, and there is a solid
and substantial increase in population and
all else that contributes to make a center of
population from year to year. The build
ing of the WinOna IL Southwestern has
| helped to make the city i railway center and,
as a result the joobiag business of the city
has been increasing very rapidly. The sub
ject OF politics being brought up Col. Dunn
said that the people of Winona county were
too busy to devote much time TO a subject
that would not be really live one for six
months yet. In his opinion neither party
had lost any great advantage i'll Tuesday S
elections. Mr.. Dunn returned to Winona
last evening.
Gen.James II. Baker, of Blue Earth county
has been in the CITY ever since the election
attending 10 business matters. He was one OF
! the pioneers in the low tariff movement in
| this state and believes that in the presidential
campaign of next year the tariff will be the
| leading issue. Gen. Baker takes no stock ir
the attempt that is being made 10 place the
| financial question in the foreground mex
| year. and his voice viii be against the Ali
ance in this state making any such mistake
| Gen. Baker came within $50 votes of defeat
ing Congressman John Lind in the Second
| district a year ago, and. in case he is the
candidate as now seems :hore than likely
next year, he viii undoubtedly be elected.

Ex-senator r L. Mccormick the Hay
ward. Wis. lumberman, is i'll the city look
! ing after the interests of his firm. Being g
native of Pennsylvania and rock ribbed
Republican, Mr.. Mccormick was inclined to
regard the result of Tuesdays election in the
| Keystone state with great deal of satisfac.
| ton. Mr.. Mccormick became so intimately
acquainted with Minnesota politics when he
resided in Waseca and represented that dis
| trict in the state senate that he seems more
| like Minnesota politician than North Wis
| consiu lumbemau.
c. NJ. Stiff. prominent Young lawyer OF
! Glencoe, is in the city.
Charles A. Long, of Duluth, is at the Mer
chants

The other day Hon. r. c. Dunn, the well
known ex-representative of Princeton, was
sitting in the lobby of the Merchants chat
/ ting with several friends when Judge l.. L.

costing me very much" said the fiery editor

Senator Leavitt OF Meeker county. dropped
into the city for a short time yesterday. lie
was looking much stronger than he did
earlier in the summer and declares that he
never felt better in his life. The result of the
elections in Iowa, New York and MasSa-
chusetis he considered very satisfactory and
4 pretty good assurance of victory in the
presidential contest of next year.
