To Await Mr.. Richardson's Convenience
Hon. D. S. Hall, Indian Commits
sioner for Minnesota, is now in the
city of Washington comforting with the
government officials in charge of In
dian affairs, and it is evident that the
situation in regard to the Mile Laos
tribe is not as simple as supposed.
Last week Charles Beauleau, of White
Earth, appeared on the reservation
with authority of Mr.. Hall to take four
Of the chiefs to Washington to consult
with the Great Father. The Indians
refused to go without their attorney,
Hon. N. Richardson, of this city, and
Beauleau left without them. On Sum
day Way-we-wa- comic, the head chief,
arrived in Little Falls with two others,
and told Mr. r. of the request of the
department and their refusal to go with
out him. The same day Mr.. r. re-
ceived telegram from Washington
! asking him to come there with the
Indians. He replied that he would be
unable to get away for two or three
weeks, and the Indians returned to the
reservation. Correspondence is now in
progress with the department, and it is
probable that the delegation will go
down to see the Great Father before
long.
| Nothing could be done in moving the
Indians during the cold weather, but it
is probable that the government will
give assurances that will secure their
departure for White Earth next spring.

Clerk Of Court Brigg, the wide-awake
correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune, sizes up the political situation
in Mile Laos county pretty correctly:
PRINCETON, Mimi, Feb. 25.-[Spec-
ial. Mile Laos county has no candi-
date for congressional honors. Judge
Searle is the favorite here He would
poll almost the solid vote of the county,
for he has friends among all the par
ties. If Judge Searle refuses to be a
candidate, G. G. Hartley, of Duluth,
and ex-Lieut. Gov. Barto would have
many friends who would get out and
rustic for them. VIM. E. Lee, of Long
Prairie, is also mentioned as a COM
promise candidate.
On the Democratic side of the house
David T. Calhoun, of St. Cloud, is con-
sidered the strongest man. If Judge
Searle is the Republican nominee it
would be a master stroke on the part of
the Democrats to nominate Mr.. Cal
houn.
Hon. H. @. Stivers has many friends
in this vicinity who think he would
make an acceptable lamb for the
slaughter at the polls next November.
It is the opinion Of men Of every
shade OF political opinion that Judge
Searle is the strongest man in the dis
trict. At the same time many of his
best friends are averse to his leaving
the bench. @-t.- -.
The Alliance is developing some
strength in this county, and the mem
bers OF that organization may cut some
figure at the polls, but the better class
of the farmers are steering clear of the
Alliance. They do not wish to swal-
low the sub-treasury scheme of Don
nelly and Fish.
The Republicans will undoubtedly
send a Searle delegation to the Repub-
lican congressional convention, if the
judge is a candidate. ...,. -
In State matters Nelson leads all
others for governor, so far as the Re
publicans are concerned. In fact, nc
other name is mentioned. ..
There promises to be a lively fight
over members of the legislature. E.
E. Price would like to again warm a
cushioned chair in the hall of repre-.
sentatives, but there are Others of the
unterrified who will likely dispute his
claims. The unfortunate split in the
Republican party of the Forty-sixth
, district in 1890 has disheartened the
Republicans and unless they get to-
: gether" the Democrats are liable tt
elect their entire Legislative. ticket
The whole legislative fight will be
Waged on the senatorial question. The
Republicans all will work for the mem.
