Sixth district delegations pledged to
A Newspaper War.

The fight, between the Republican
papers Of st. Paul and those of Mnne-
apolis, over the selection of an expert
printer for the state is heartily eniOyed
by those who are not concerned in the
matter. Minneapolis is championing the
cause of Mr.. Stevens, and the papers
here are for Mr.. Ramaley, and they are
waglns as hot war on that question as
II they expected the people to pitch in
and help the matter along. The cons
troversy started in the country papers,
Dnt was mild compared with the badger
ing now going on in the Republican
dailies of the Twin Cities.
Headquarters Open.
There is still some new gossip on the
senatorial matter. 1t has been stated
by Minneapolis papers that Senator
WashbuFn will surely be home i'm day
or two. ana will open his headquarters
at the Windsor Monday. One of the
papers gave description of the suite
or parlors and private rooms of Senator
Washhurn and Maj. Hale. and added
that they look out upon the capitol. AS
q matter or fact, they overlook Mime
ap0lls as much or more than they do the
capltOl, as tho building alluded to can
not De seen from any room in the suite.
There is an attempt to conceal the
fact that the senator is coming home
earlier than was expected. When he
went to ashington he authorized the
publication OF the statement that he
was going to attend to his duties i'll the
senate. 1t is said that he had an I'M
pOrtant measure in which he is inter-
ested laid over, SO that he could come
home and look after his fences before
the adjournment for the holidays.
