WITH THE TRAVELLERS.

Capt. Tom Mariner, of Powers upper
Missouri fleet OF steamers. is at the
Merchants. He expects to retdrn to
Bismarck in day or two "If the walk
ing is good" and put the two boats
lying at Bismarck in full repair for
operations next summer. Capt. Mariner
is now the oldest steamboat master OH
the upper Missouri. He has just re-
turned from Philadelphia, and regards
the outlook for the future from gloomy
standpoint. He says the vessel as we'll
as the manufacturing interests are
badly depressed, though some express
the hope that the settlement of the
tariff question will bring relief, but the
men who labor see little to encourage
them.
Hon. Jake Wineman. wife and child,
of Grand Forks, n. D., are at the Mer-
chants Ell route to Fort Smith and Hot
Springs, Arkansas. Mrs. Wineman and
child are conyalescing from the pre-
vailing disease at Grand Forks, and go
in part for health and in part to visit
her father. Hon. George ii. Walsh, who
IS spending the winter i'll the South.
AS to the sickness at Grand Forks. Mr..
Wjneman says it is now generally re-
garded as typhoid fever and treated as
such. The feeling is also general that
the water is at fault, and the city couu-
ell has requested the johns Hopkins
university to send an expert to examine
as to the cause of the trouble. Mr.
Wineman said several prominent men
had fallen victims, but the havoc was
greatest among the young women, who
were peculiarly affected through sup
preSSlOns. The trouble was intensified
by the feeling of alarm which at first
prevailed; i'll every gathering it WIS the
subject of conversation. Where two or
three were gathered together the con-
versation turned on that and fear was
the result. and the way was paved for
the approach OF the dread disease rather
than to resist. The tendency now is
to look al the matter in more sensible
light and to do all they can to build up
confidence, ana since that has been the
case the doctors have had much better
results. As to politics. Mr.. Wineman,
who was one of the Republicans who
voted for the Democratic senator-elect,
said Republicans of all factions real
ize that there have been mistakes in the
past. and that concessions must be made
all round if they are to succeed III the
future, and he was confident that COLI
ceSsionS would be made. At Grand
Forks they are disposed to make push
fni ioy,N
and he was confident that the interests
heretofore antagonistic to George Win
ship VIII turn in and help elect him
mayor next spring. There is DISPOSE
ton to take some of the tried and true
men for governor. There is strong talk
of Gov. Miller in some quarters, while
Roger Allin is named III others, and
still others mention ex-senator Casey
These may be said to be representatives
OF three distinct elements and hereto
fore III measure antagoniStic, or rather
hot Ill full harmony; but the people
will turn in for either. They are all
good men, and each is backed by ele-
ments essential to the life of the Re-
publican party.
Dennis Hannafin. Of North Dakota, is
i'll the city. Hannafin is famous for
many things. As n Democrat he walked
200 miles to attend a Democratic con-
ventlon some years ago, and remains as
intensely Democratic as ever As il
statesman he went from Dakota to New
York to tell Gen. Hancock 10 keep his
mouth shut Oh the tariff question; to
stand pat and play his cards high and
he would win. As a sporting man he
never plays with kids or trampS. or
with those who squeal when the wheel
or the cards run "agIn" them As a
political warrior he deals in ridicule and
ghosting rather than argument or in
vective. and feels that the battle is half
WON when he can turn The laugh or set
the candidate explaining. His hobby
is funerals-political funerals and he
Is only truly happy when another
statesman turns up his toes to the dali
Sizes and joins the noble army of kickers
and has beenS. He has respect for but
TWO classes Of men: The man who
fights without squealing. and the incur
able who will prove the sincerity of his
disappointment and become worthy
member of the suicide club of which
Hannafin is the chief. He is visiting
his friend, William Erwin, at ST. Paul,
whom he has assisted in the trial OF
some Of his most important cases. As a
lawyer. Hannalin believes in success by
any means necessary to win. Hannatin
has been familiar character about st.
Paul for twenty-One years, and is down
to attend The races AT Minneapolis.
