The Sage of Nininger, as smiling and

The.Sage of Nininger, as smiling and rosy
as ever, arrived in st. Paul early yesterday
morning fresh from his victory at st. Louis.
When he reached the Merchants his hands
were filled with papers and he was apparently
enjoying the left handed compliments that
were paid by them to the st. Louis ''declara-
ton of principles" He was enveloped with
an air of victory that enabled him to read all
the harsh things printed about him without
being troubled at all in mind or spirit. When
he was asked to talk about the harmonious
manner i'll which the big convention han
died the third party question. he said:
Isl 1.-The papers enlarged upon our diff
,ferences and failed to mention the amic-
able way in which We wound up our work.
The Peoples party is now fairly started and
will not stop until victory perches on our
| banners. OF course there are some differ
i, ences of opinion, but we will all get together
before the election. When political party
jlgets as large as the Peoples party, one can
not expect every member to be of the same
mind"
lfs "Willyou be the nominee for president?''
igt 81 do not think that either President Polk
or myself will be given that honor" replied
| Mr.. Donnelly Gen. j. b. Weaver, Of Iowa,
seems to be in the lead and should not be
TO see him placed at the head of
tthe ticket with some Eastern man for second
place"
| ~ How many states will the Peoples party
carry next November
Enough TO elect our man president" was
the Sage S ready answer. 1.-The whole country
is alive. The Northwest is secure and we
will get everything III the solid South except
Texas. The delegates from the South were
nearly all enthusiastic for the third party
movement and l feel sure that we shall have
be satisfactory to us and a surprise to the old
parties"
Ex-Congressman S. G. Comstock. Of Moor
head. has not yet joined the Farmers ALI
| ance although he makes up in manner that
would enable him to pass muster in q county
where he is unknown. Mr.. Comstock does
not favor the scheme OF packing the next
| state convention with delegates at large, and
| is against large convention.
Il do not see any necessity for increasing
| the representation at this time" he said. II
| think it would be better plan to bring out
| all the delegates entitled to seats under the
old order of things. 1t has been a difficult
| task 10 do this i'll the past
Are you a candidate for the Seventh dis
| trict this Year, was asked Mr.. Comstock.
Il am not candidate for the nomination
| and would not accept it without it was con-
| sidered for the best interest of the party that
l should. 1 would expect the boys to insist
| that this was their opinion. There are
| number Of good strong Republicans in the
| district who have been mentioned for the
honor in various parts OF the district. Not
able among these isex- Senator Halyor Steen-
erson, of Grookston. HAD he not taken the
stump for Owen and the Alliance last year.
| his nomination would be certain. He is a
| Republican at heart. although his return
| now might be regarded as rather sudden
| conversion. Ex-Lieut. Gov. Rice, of Will
| mar, is one of the strongest of the men who
| have been mentioned, although Kenaston, of
Breckenridge. Crossheld, of Browns Valley,
| and Gundersou. of Alexandria, are all
| strong.
W. S. Hammond, of Madelia, is at the
| Merchants.
| M. j. Burns, of Hutchinson, is guest at
| the Sherman.
| Fred Huntress of Duluth, is domiciled at
the Ryan.
| E. S. Tyler, of Fargo dined at the Mer-
chants yesterday with several friends.
! Leonard Johnson. the well-known horse
man of Northfield, dropped into the City yes
terday and spent the day looking after some
| business matters. Mr.. johnson is one of the
| best known breeders OF fine horses in the
| state. and never allows state fair TO pass
without making an exhibit and walking off
| with number of medals.
| M. R. Everett, prosecuting attorney of LIE
| Sueur county, and one of the Democratic
leaders of that county, was guest at the
Merchants yesterday.
