The Big Sixth.

The Minneapolis Tribune has this to
say relative to the situation of affairs in |
the sixth district, much of it straight
goods" some OF it crooked, and other
some no good at all:
1.-THE defeat ofJudge Searle for con-
gress in the sixth district is gall and
NORWOOD for a powerful political ele-
ment in the north part of the state, not
especially confined to the Republican
party. 1t was on the strength of this
outside influence that the st. Cloud poll
ticiahs promised Searle's election if he
was given the nomination.. This was at
Duluth when these st, Cloud men did up
the Kendall followers. and it was by
this promise that they were enabled to
do him up. The Tribune showed from
time to time what it was that this rei-
ance was placed on. 1t is we'll known
that one of these was the aid of the rail-
roads. the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific. Another was the Sc
sret cooperation of Democratic bosses
Doran and Kelly. These all wanted
Searle elected, and the Democratic candi-
date against him so informed the Tri-
bune man during the campaign. Now
| that Mai. Baldwin has been elected, in
spite of the bosses of his party at the
state capital, he will be in position to
tell them what he thinks about that
kind Of party fealty, and if the Duluth
congrcssman-elect talks as plainly about
it as he has done to Republicans and to
the Tribune, they will hear something
very emphatic.
1t is these things which could not be
entirely kept out of sight that have, in
part, compassed the defeat OF the St.
Cloud judge. Another has been the de-
termination of Duluth to have, as very
many good Republicans believed she was
entitled to have. the congressman from
the shores of her great lake. But the
nomination having been secured by the
St. Cloud man, all Republicans feel that
the Zenith City should have stood by
the nominee and elected Republican
That he has been knitted to the extent Of
defeat is now to be charged up to Duluth
and is certain to cut big figure in the
future of the politics of the north part o.
the state. The statement is made that
Duluth will Come down to St. Paul with
two candidates for places in the legisla
ture.
IA. Boggs, we'll known hustler, will
be candidate for speaker and another
Duluthian. ;. A. Phillips, will be can
didate for the chief clerkship. To thi:
the st. Cloud statesmen say. Not in {
thousand years. They say under thu
circumstances the less the Duluth mer
who have beaten Searle want now tn,
more they will be likely to receive il
days to come. In other words, the St
Cloud men propose to 60 after scalps
and the hair they want has grown OF
the rocky shores OF the 'unsalted sea-
1t is also Sixth district gossip that
Charley Gilman has been the main man
working the railroad racket against
Searle, and that his work was got in NJ
in the iron regions of St. Louis county
1t is said, also. from St. Cloud sources
that the refusal OF the Judge to res,gr
his judgeshi2, pending the election, cut
a big figure i'll the vote of his owr
county. 1t was publicly stated by Judge
Bruckhart that that act by tn judge
would do more than anything to assist
his getting large vote in Stearn:
county. From this on look out for some
lively swinging OF the knife in the Sixth
district. The change of administration
is going to rel ase some very able-bodiec
men, like ex-Goy. Barto, who has sc
long held down the st. Cloud land Office
and some not so able-bodied, like Mon
roe Nichols, in the Duluth land Office
There are some postmasters in the whole
region who are of pretty good physica
proportions. All these will have more
time for politics than they have had
and will be less under the restraint O
civil service restrictions than they have
been. There is therefore, likely to be 4
good deal of politics to the square mile
in the Sixth from this out, and it will b.
begun in the legislature, and the sigma
of it is this appearance OF Duluth caudi
dates:
