THE HOTEL CORRAL.

Hon. Dan W. Bruckart the weli-known Re-
publican leader Of the lower end of the new
Sixth district arrived i'll the city early yester-
day morning and spent the day looking after
legal matters. Mr.. Bruckart in the hard
fought campaign of 1888 represented the
Seventh judicial district on the Republican
state central committee and had charge, in a
great measure, OF the work in the counties of
that district. 1t was the center, it will be re-
membered. of the discontinued party lead
efs, Otter Tail. Pope. Douglass and Stearns
being among the counties he had to deal
with. Mr.. Bruckart made little noise in his
work, but at the election a great many peo-
pie were surprised to ind how well the
ticket held up in those counties. Before
coming to Minnesota Mr.. Bruckart had ten
years experience in politics in Iowa, where
he was one of the wheel horses of the party.
A year ago great many of the Republican
leaders thought that the nomination of the
/ party for the Office of attorney general this
year should go to Mr., Bruekart but it seems
that he is In no mood to accept the honor.
His law practice, it is claimed by his friends,
is too large to surrender for the state Office,
even if the nomination were certain TO be
followed by an election. Mr.. Bruckart will
not talk politics these DAYS. and declined to
state whether or not he will be a candidate
for the nomination for attorney general this
year.
i
Hamline V. Poore, the Alliance leader in
the west end of the Third congressional dis
triet, seems to have been misrepresented by
several of the Alliance leaders who live
i'll this city. At the time of the meeting
of the Peoples party state central
committee week ago Mr.. Poore declared
that iii his opinion the nominee of the
People party for governor this year will be
Hon. S. NJ Owen. This the GLOBE pub
lished. but the next day after Mr.. Poore had
left the city, Messrs. Eckford and Lister came
to GLOBE man. and reported that Mr..
Poore had denied to them that he had stated
the things credited to him in the GLOBE. The
GLOBE lhereupen published another article
which it seems does Mr.. Poore an injustice.
In speaking of this yesterday he said:
sin your issue of the 18th is reported in
terview with me on the subject of candidate
for governor. Never having denied the re-
port, am at loss 10 account for the reprint
of what | said, preceded and followed by
gross Measurements in your issue OF March
70. l have never associated with any man
more ccnsiderate OF the opinions OF others
than have found Mr.. Donnelly to be, and
such stuff is cruelty unjust.
IF any man thinks | am ruled by rod OF
iron or has known me as DOnnellyS man
Poore,' aud it is a pleasure for them to think
SO. they are welcome to enjoy such hapDi-
ness. The only rod that has ruled me is my
conscience, which | never entrusted to any
man, not even Mr.. Donnelly. But II tear
lessly followinga and acting the dictates of my
conscience entities me to being known as
'Donnellys man Poore, | am proud OF the
appellation. How any man who fearleSsiy
works for the cause of reform can be looked
upon as any persons tool is more than can
fathom.

Il
Chairman Joel P. Heatwole and A. b.
Kelly, of Northteld, were i'll the city yester-
day. but there was nothing political in their
visit. In fact, no one could induce the hand
some chairman of the Republican state
central committee 10 ever discuss his guber-
natorial boom. He had just returned from
"trip to Dulut b, where he is said to have Sc
Cured control of some of the best property ON
The range. but he was not talking on this
subject either That his visit to the Zenith
city was highly satisfactory there is no rea-
son TO doubt, for he never felt in better
humor Che admitted) in his life.
