the day in the Merchants lobby chatting
with friends. Senator Sabin has just returned
from trip to Milwaukee and Chicago, and
| as q result of his observations i'll those cities
he states That he believes that st. Paul will
secure the national Democratic convention.
In milwaukee, there is plenty of confidence
In the home candidate. but the place most
feared by the Cream City in the contest soon
10 be fought at Washington is not New York,
onr Chicago, nor st. Louis but St. Paul. This
Senator Sabin argues, augurs much good to
| St Paul. 1n Chicago most friendly feeling
toward st. Paul is found, and along with this
| an impression that the SANITY City viii
prove an easy winner.
For these reasons" said the Saltwater
statesman, ~ believe St Panl is bound TO
win"
i
c. d. Baker, the well-knowu Republican of
Fergus Falls, spent yesterday in the lobbyof
the Merchants. He has just returned from
two months trip through Otter Tail, Nor
| man. Polk and Marshall counties looking
after his collections, In answer to a ques-
ton, he declared that he was out of politics,
but said:
II will say, as stated here last spring, that
| il Blaine is nominated for president and
some man like Knute Nelson for governor,
Minnesota will surely go Republican ne 1t
| fall think that the leaders of the Alliance
movement are still on deck and using every
effort to make it a success, but large part
of the rank and file of the Alliance are not as
enthusiastic as they were in $780, and it is my
| opinion that when the votes are counted
next fall there will be good many more Re-
| publican and Democratic votes and fewer
Alliance votes. In many places have found
| that localissues have split the Alliance party.
| In my opinion the result of the next election
| in this state will depend largely upon the
nominations made by the several parties"
i
Fl. W. Stone. of Benson, who is spending
| Few days in the city looking after business
matters. is one of the best known Republi-
can leaders in the western part of the state.
| Although he has never held public Office, he
has for some time been at the trout in the
| party councils. and in 1890 ran for repre-
| sentative in the district composed of Lac Qui
| Parle, Swift and Chippewa counties. He was
defeated by the heavy Alliance votes in those
| counties, although he ran ahead or his
| ticket. The vote in that district stood as fol-
| lows:
| .. M. Larson, Alliance. .................3,94
| n. A. Wills, Alliance. ,5S5
| j. Mcguire, Alliance. ...............3.572
| j. NJ Seyerens. Republican. .......1,99 1913

| ana Alliance tickets, but seems to have re-
| ceived only small part of the Republican
/ vote. Mr.. Stones lead of 200 was large when
| the fact is taken into consideration that it
was an election in which there was great
| public excitement and nothing but the
| straight ticket was voted. Mr.. Stone is cash
| Ter of the Swift County bank, of which Hon.
| A. n. johnson is president. The latter has
been mentioned as likely candidate for the
Republican congressional nomination in the
Seventh district this year, but Mr.. Stone does
not think that Mr.. johnson would accept
| the honor.
| Mr.. johnson is not candidate said Mr..
Stone, land don't think he will be- He has
never taken very much interest in politics as
| far as office-getting goes. l have usually
done the political part of the business, but 1
am tired and propose hereafter to keep out
| and attend to my business Nearly all of
| my business partners have been members of
the legislature at soma time, but l have not.i
| Mr.. Stone denied the report that he was in
| the cities as a delegate to the Alliance con
| Vention. but admitted that there were a num-
| Der of good Alliance men around to whom
he had been talking. Among those he named
| Judge S. L. Campbell, Hon. John r. Howard,
| Col. Edwards, Col. Brush and others
i
| Z. Ashley Mears, president of the Bank of
| North Dakota at Fargo, passed through ST.
Paul yesterday on his way home from the
| East. Mr.. Mears is interested in number OF
| banks located i'll various parts of North Da-
| kota one of these at Minot was reported in
difficulties few days ago, and the branch at
| Devils Lake was fallen back upon. Mr..
| Mears explained the matter yesterday, saying
| that the Minot bank bad simply run short of
| funds owing to large withdrawal by the
| county. The banks in which Mr. Mears is
| interested are all in good shape, ne declares,
| aud have large SURPRISES
i
Ex-Congressman S. G. Comstock of Moor
| head, dropped into st. Paul Yesterday not to
attend the Alliance convention, however.
Mr.. ComstocK had evidently not taken the
| trouble to note the number of delegates in
the Alliance gathering at Minneapolis, for he
declared that the residents of the Red river
valley were all satisfied with the Mckinley
| tariff act.
THE people who opposed the tariff bill
| year ago." he said, now see their mistake,
| and there is nobody in the Seventh district
| opposed to it, The workings of the Nc
Kinley bill prove that it is a beneficial meas
ure. 1t is great success, and the voters of
the country will SO decide IN the election
| next year."
