CHATS IN CORRIDORS.

Republican state central committee, spent
few hours in st. Paul yesterday afternoon
looking after business matters. He was ac-
companied by A. b. Kelly, also of North
field. During the time the handsome editor
was in the Merchants lobby he was the re-
cipient of many compliments and pledges Of
support If he decided to become candidate
for the gubernatOrial nomination. When he
was asked in regard to the matter, he de-
elared he was not in politics; but after he
had taken his departure Senator Frank a.
Day. of Martin county. said:
''Heatwole says lie is not candidate, but
I believe he is"
This remark of the Martin county states
man started quite lengthy discussion IN the
lobby of the Merchants, which developed the
fact that Chairman Heatwole will be very
largely lin it, If he decides to become
candidate. Among both the young and old
politicians Mr.. Heatwole's name was favor
ably received, and bets freely offered that If
he decides to enter the race neither Nelson,
Lind or McGill will have walk-away.
i
H E. Ives, the portly and handsome editor
of the st. Hilaire Spectator was shaking
hands with his many friends in the Mer-
chants yesterday. Mr.. Ives is not only an
editor. but also dabbles in wheat and real
estate, being one of the owners Of the town
site OF ST. Hilaire He is a nephew of Lieut..
Gov. G.. S. Ives, of st. Peter, and ex-
Dairy Commissioner Ives, of Hutchinson.
and like them has usually been a strong Re-
publican. In the state campaign of two
years ago Mr.. Ives supported Mr.. Owen and
the county Alliance ticket, and materially
aided in smashing the old Polk county Re-
publican ring. This year, however, Mr.. Ives
declares himself out of politics, although IA
vorable to the nomination of ex-Gov. A. X.
McGill as the Republican gubernatorial can
ddate. When he was asked if Mr.. McGii-
was candidate. he said:
Il think SO. l had short talk with him
yesterday and he left me with that impress
sion. He feels as though he is entitled TO
something for the manner in which he was
thrust aside in 1885,.
Has Gov. McGill any strength through the
country?''
More than he is given credit WITH re-
sponded the st. Hilaire man. Il rather ex-
peet to see him get the nomination, and in
that case he will be elected. There is no
reason why any good Republican should re-
fuse to vote for him. At the time he was elected
there was great deal OF prejudice against
some Of the men who were at the head of the
party organization, but these men are no
longer at the 'front.' and, besides, the people
know McGill and understand him much
better than they did in 1885,"
Il
j. G. Brown, of Duluth. returned to the
Gently City yestesterday after spending sew
eral days i'll the Capital City looking after
business matters. Mr.. Brown is one of the
Democratic leaders of st. Louis county, and
as clean cut and able as he is handsome He
is strong believer in the virtue of a strong
and complete organization. and attributes
the recent Democratic victory in Duluth to
the careful poll that was made and the work
done slong that line. The Democrats of Du-
luth, Mr.. Brown saws are united and har-
monious to an unusual degree, and will give
good account of themselves in the coming
cam ign. MI Brown believes that Mayor
D'Autremont will be a formidable candidate
for the Democratic congressional nomina-
tiou in the new Sixth district this year.
''The only difficulty in the way" he said,
lis the fact that we would lose Democratic
mayor. Mr. DAutremont was elected for a
two years term, and if elected to congress.
could only serve one year. He is a good
campaigner, well posted. on the issues of the
day, and if nominated, would undoubtedly
carry the district. think his name will be
presented by the st. Louis delegation to the
congressional convention
Mr.. Brown is spoken of as probable dele
gate to the Chicago convention. and will
probably be st. Louis candidate for one of
the two Sixth diitrict places. He was asked
in regard to this, but modestly declined to
say whether he is a candidate or not.

Ex-senator E. G. Holmes, of Detroit, while
not exactly farmer himself, is great be-
lever in the future of the farming occupa-
ton. He owns many. thousand acres of
farming lands and is persuaded that The ad-
vance in prices of this class of real estate
last year will continue.
II think, - said he yesterday "that this will
prove a very good year for the country. In
case of second good crop, for which the in
dications are first-class, business will boom
in the country towns. No one unacquainted
with the situation in the farming sections
can realize the effect the crop of last year
has had upon the farmers: More improve
ments in the way of building than for sew
eral years past. This has, of course, been
good thing for the merchants and business
men generally

President 5. T. Cakes, of the Northern Pa
cific, has returned to St. Paul on his way
back to New YORK from the Pacific coast.
This WAS the regular inspection trip over the
road, and the result it was easy to see, was
entirely satisfactory to the magnate. Mr.
Cakes is an earnest advocate of a policy of
closer commercial relations with the Domin-
ion of Canada.

Mr. Cakes smiled when he was asked
about the report that the Northern Pacific
had been dealing with the Chicago alder
men in a business way.
I'VE did not want much from the city, he
said; mot enough TO make an issue. We
