HEARD IN HOTELS.

Aid. Nicolin, of Jordan, spent yesterday in
st. Paul chatting politics with friends and
setting the public right in regard to the re-
moval of the Willford Il Northway Mannfact-
uring company, of Minneapolis to Jordan
Aid. Nieolin was one of the prime movers in
the work OF securing this industry for Jor-
dan, and knows every detail of the transae-
ton. This company manufactures mill ma
chinery. and Owls number of valuable pat
ents. The plant in Minneapolis gives en-
ployment to large number of men, and is
an important industry. AS soon as it was
announced thatth firm had decided to re-
move its workshops TO Jordan the Mime
apolis papers set up the claim that only a
branch factory would be established there
This, Mr.. Nicoln claims, is incorrect Sales
rooms and an Office will very likely be kept
up i'll the Mill City, but the factory will 60 to
Jordan.
Jordan has secured the Wlllford & North
way Manufacturing company" said Mr..
Nicoiin, land the work of erecting shops
will be commenced next week. We gave
them five acres of ground and cash bonus
of S35, 200, 5000 of which has already been
paid. In return for the money and land the
Wlllford Northway company agree to
erect workshops and give employment to 125
men for period of ten years. The Mime
apolis papers claim that the factory at Jor
dan will only be a branch of the Minneapolis
works. This is false. The company agree
to manufacture everything at Jordan, and
they will do as they agreed The
fact of the matter is Jordan is
alive to the necessity of securing industries
that will give employment To working pep
pie, and she is going to get them. Jordan is
not large city, but it is a live town, aud the
citizens can raise money for public improve
ments without any trouble. Minneapolis is
at perfect liberty to squeal all she wants to,
but all her rawlings will not alter the fact that
we have secured one of her best manufacture
ing industries.

ing after legal business. and tarried at the
Merchants to chat with friends for time
MI. Peck is one of the most prominent attor-
neys in the Minnesota valley. and stands high
in the councils of the Third district Democ-
racy. Just now he is taking q great deal of
interest in the proceedings of the Alliance.
and is strongly in favor of combination be-
tween the Democrats and the Alliance. He
thinks both parties will be guilty of mighty
poor politics if they allow the Republicans
to carry the state next fall.
j
Hon. G. R. Davis, of ST. Peter who is re-
garded as i'll line for the Republican congress
sional nomination in the Second district next
year, dropped into the city yesterday to look
after some business before the supreme
court. Senator Davis is averse to discussing
the subject of his candidacy, but freely ad-
mits that, in case of fusion between the
Democrats and Alliance, the Republican can
didate will be obliged to do some close figur-
ing to come out ahead.
