Some Interesting Chats With
the Tpansients at the Z
Hotels. :

| round-faced and chubby as ever, CAME
up from his rural home III the wilds OF
Dakota county and spent some time
chatting politics and crops with a mum
Der of his friends and acquaintance
| who CHANGED to be in the city. Mr.
Donnelly was feeling and looking re.
markedly we'll, and, as usual, excited nc
little attention during the time he was
in the Merchants lobby. AS he walked
from the desk to the door an unknown
| arrival, somewhat awed evidently al
being IN the presence of the great man.
| whispered rather more loudly than he
| intended:
There goes Donnelly, the man the
Peoples party will nominate for preSi-
dent at Omaha next july"
The Sage could not help hearing this
remark, but the only effect it had on
| him was to make a curious smile creep
| over his countenance. Perhaps he felt
| just little pride in the fact that the
assembled crowd took so much notice of
him, but there was nothing in his move
mentS to indicate it.
! mir. Donnelly, do you think that the
old Alliance committee will call state
convention to nominate a state ticket?'
asked the GLOBE man just as the Sage
was starting to take his train.
mo, | do not" was the answer.
"From time to time | have noticed in
timations aud hints to that effect. but |
| Fave placed no reliance in them. Mr..
Phelps. the chairman of that commit
tee. is also a member of the Peoples
| party state committee, and there are
quite number of his friends also on
i'll think more than One-thrd the
Peoples party committee is made up of
| men who are friends of MIR. Owen, and
set down as members of his faction"
| President Donnelly evidently has no
fear of any formidable bolt against the
| Peoples party, and is anxious that there
shall be no internal war. Whether this
is because he expects to be the candi-
date of the Peoples party for president,
! and desires to secure some electoral
votes from his own state, or because he
is laying his pipes for the United States
senatorship, the fact is that the Sage
wants harmony. He has now only the
kindest words forsMr. Owen and others
of that element, and, it is said, will
favor the nomination of the Minneap-
oils editor for governor. When he was
asked whether he knew of any heart
new party in the coming campaign, he
said:
II do not. The late meeting of the
state committee of the Peoples party
was attended by members representing
all elements of the party, and there was
| not the slightest disagreement on any
subject. All reports TO the contrary
are incorrect and have no foundation in
| fact. Mr.. Owen and Gen. Baker both
attended that meeting, you will recol-
lect."
Quite different from those of the Sage
were the views of man who stands
high in the councils of the anti-Don-
nellyites. He was quite certain that
the state central committee of the Alii-
| ance party will not only call and hold a
state convention, but also nominate a
| full state ticket. He thinks that the
| subtreasury declarations of the leading
| Peoples party men will make the NOM
| nation of an Alliance ticket necessary.
There are great many members of
the Alliance" he said, "who do not
want to give up the fight and go back to
the old parties, but who do not feel tina t
| they can support ticket on the plat
form likely to be adopted by the Peo-
| pies party. The Alliance party has a
legal existence in the state just as the
| Republican and Democratic factions.
| This is a great advantage, and /, for
| one, do not feel like Surrendering it. |
think Chairman Darlington Phelps will
call the old Alliance committee together
very shortly, and the situation will then
be canvassed and course of action de-
cided upon"
w. S. Prince, of Austin, one of the
company recently organized to furnish
Austin with electric lights, is at the
| Clarendon.
| A. B. Wilkinson. the railroad man, of
Crookston, dined at the Merchants yes
| terday.
F. E, Washburn, of Chicago, is stop
ping at the Ryan.
Senator Henry Keller arrived at the
Merchants last evening, having just re-
turned from trip to the Iron Cliff
| mine. He brought with him two bags
| of ore which he secured from the test
pits that have been put down, and did
not allow friend or acquaintance
to leave the hotel without carrying
| away sample. He was only at the
Merchants an hour, but in his eXuber-
ance he did more talking than most
men are capable of doing in a whole
day. He took the evening train for
home, where he will attend a meeting
| of the Democrats of old Stearns. The
Rosebud senator" is not neglecting
any points in the struggle tor the con-
| gresSiOnal nomination in the Sixth
district.
''We have three pits down about
twelve feet on the Iron Cliff, "he said. in
speaking of his recent trip. Zone of
these struck ore at five feet and is now
bottomed in ore at depth of twelve
feet. We have one of the best men on
the range in charge of our camp, and
things are moving along nicely. There
is no lull in the stream of outsiders that
Is pouring into Duluth. A great many
iron men from the South and East are
of excursions to the range, and the
work that is being done there would
surprise people who have not been
| there"
''How is your congressional boom,
senator?"
II haven't heard Of any opposition"
was the answer, land all the boys tell
ME that they are for me. I think my
chances are very good"
DR.. Werner Hemstead, Brainerd's
able and handsome representative in
| the lower house of the legislature, who
is spending few days in the city,
thinks that the Democratic congress
| sional candidate in the Sixth district this
year will be Senator Henry Keller, of
] Stearns County. DR.. Hemstead thinks
| that the Rosebud senator" will prove
very strong in the southern part of the
district, and will keep up with the pro-
| cession everywhere else.
''Mr. Stivers. of Brainerd," he said,
does not seek the nomination, and it is
my opinion that Senator Keller will get
the nomination"
Mayor Winston. of Minneapolis, paid
flying visit to st. Paul yesterday after
noon and spent some time with politi-
cal friends at the Merchants. He was
feeling in very good humor. but de-
| clared that harmony is the order of the
hour in Hennepin county. While at
the hotel he met and shook hands and
chatted pleasantly with Hon. Michael
Doran, Chairman W. NJ. Campbell and
