MEN AND MEASURES.

Representative H. c. Bull, of Wright
county, spent some time in ST. Paul yester-
day afternoon in company with his friend
and co-laborer in the cause of Democracy
Hon. Joseph Roach, OF Rice county. Both
gentlemen are members of the executive
committee of the North Star Association of
Democratic Clubs, and had Just attended the
meeting at the headquarters in Minneapolis.
Representative Bull said that the outlook for
the growth and success of the club move
ment is very fiattering. He was asked what
he thought of fusion and whether or not it
had been discussed at the meeting of the
executive committee. ,
1.-THE committee did not discuss fusion in
the meeting replied the Wright county
statesman. After the regular business of
the club had been disposed Of the members
cnatted for time in regard to it, was sur
pFlsed 10 see the unanimity of feeling IN re-
gard to the question. Nearly every man
present was enthusiastically In favor of flu
sion with the Alliance IL 1t could be arranged
on proper basis. A great many of the ALI
ance delegates drifted in, and they all
seemed quite anxious for a fusion ticket
Everything seems to point toward a ticket
headed by S. M. Owen and filled out with
Democrats and Alliance men. The members
OF the Alliance with whom I have talked
sonally am heartily in favor of fusion. In
my opinion it will be the worst kind of folly
for us to divide our forces next year. The
Alliance and Democracy agree on many
questions of the day. notably the tariff, while
the Republicans are with neither the ALI
ance nor Democracy on anything"

Col. j. J. Thornton, of st. James. who was
in the city few minutes last evening is an
ardent admirer Of Gov David B. Hill. He had
been attending the North Star club. In
speaking of Gov. Hill he said:
Il am in favor of his nomination for presi-
dent. He has shown himself competent to
organize and conduct his own state against
all the rascslity of the Republicans of that
state. and they are a shrewd and cunning
lot. He would not let Jones. that pays the
freight, stay with him for minute and he
made 1t so warm for Jones that he bolted the
party. / admire Hill for all this''

''Our board Of corrections and charities
said representative G. Z. McAllister, of Min
neapolis. yesterday, lis in the throes of an
Investigation regarding the discharge of a
few offensive partisan guards at the city
wor&house. The ouste1 parties claim they
were discharged without cause L can
ascribe a cause that they should be dis
charged for and that is that two of the
guards who, by the way, are most clamorous
for an investigation, at divers and sundry
times during the last campaign deserted
their posts as guards and, with all the per-
sistence and galf of the average ward bum
mer canvassed the Tenth and other wards in
the interests of the g. q. D. l can adduce all
necessary proof to substantiate this state
ment'' &--
