Ex-Goy. John l.. Marye, of Fredericks-
burg, Va. arrived in st. Paul yesterday and
. is now at the Ryan. He will remain for sew
eral days looking after his property interests
in this city, Ex-Gov. Marye is la gely inter-
ested in property at Duluth, and spent all of
last week there. Although he has no prop
erty in the iron ranges he takes great inter.
esi in the Developments going on there and
believes that Duluth is bound to profit great
ly through it.
Duluth is full of excitement he said.
'and believe there is a great deal of solidity
to the iron boom. as some call It, am not
interested in any of the mines, but as prop
erty owner in Duluth l. OF course, takea an In
terest in the development OF the adjacent
country. have no doubt that the building
of the projected railroads will prove of great
benefit to Duluth. was greatly impressed
with what seen and heard there. had ex-
pected to see the people fairly wild with ex-
element, but I found things quite the re-
verse. Everything is being conducted on
business principles. and the development of
the mines seems to be the aim of those at the
head of the iron companies"
Gov. Marye is typical Southern gentle
man Of the old school, and for many years
after the war took q prominent part in Old
Dominion politics. His home is in the eel
ebrated and beautiful city of Fredericksburg.
He was one of the first of the many Virgin
ians to take an interest in the development
of the Northwest. and like all the others
made no mistake in investing in st. Paul and
Duluth. Gov. Marye will remain in ST Paul
for several days and then return to his Vir-
GINA home.
Ex-Lieut. Gov A. Barto. of Sank Center,was
a prominent figure in the Merchants lobby
yesterday. Gov. Barto is now an official in
the government land Office at ST. Cloud, and
for this reason will not be candidate for
the Republican congressional nomination in
the new Sixth district this year. Gov. Barto
came very near securing the nomination in
the Fifth district four years ago when ex-
Congressman Comstock was nominated. He
was treated very handsomely by Mr. Com
stock, and two years ago gave him his strong
support.
Harvey Gillette, of Hastings who filed the
position of sergeant-at-arms of the state SEN
ate at the last session of the legislature, spent
yesterday afternoon in the city. Mr.. Gil
Iette has just made a tour of the southwest
ern counties of the state, and has gathered
great deal of information in regard to the
sentiment of the people in that section. Mr..
.
speech on the silver bill the other day is not
warranted by the facts.
Il have travelled through the state great
deal in the past few MONTHS said he, land
have talked with the farmers and common
people generally, and believe that the peo-
pie of this state are in favor of silver by a
large majority. In this district, which is
largely composed of the Twin Cities, he may
be more nearly correct, but he is away off on
the feeling in the country. l think that
Capt. Harries, or the Fl rst district is all
right in his position. spent few days in
Houston county a short time ago, and l
found that nearly every man is for silver"
"What do the people Of the Second district
think of Congressman Lind's change of
front?n
Il am surprised at Lind and the people of
his district know feel that he ought not to
have voted as he did," responded Mr.. Gill
lette. 'He was on the other side, and l am
satisfied that ten days ago he would have
voted for the Bland bill. I am inclined to
think that he proposes to be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor, and
is working for the support of certain inter
ests
''Who will be the Republican nominee for
congress in the Second district?'
5 There are number of candidates" was
7 the answer but at the present time 1 think
Senator Davis, of St. Peter. is il the lead. He
h has great many supporters in the western
end of the district, and they are a class of
men who can do great deal toward nom
mating him. look for his nomination.
