CLEANED IN THE LOBBY.

Hon. John Lind, of New Ulm, is in
the city to argue a case before the
| supreme court today. He attended the
! theater last night in company with
| his close friend, Lieut.. Gov. Day, to
hear the Bostonians. Between the
! acts they congratulated each other on
| the growth Of the sentiment for free
| silver. Mr.. Lind has not been in the
| city since the senatorial contest, in
which he took so much interest. Had
! the sentiment for free silver been as
| popular then as it is likely to be-
come in the future of politics in this
state, Mr.. Lind might have been a.
candidate for the United States senate
to some purpose. Mr.. Lind is a.
vigorous advocate of free coinage and,
he views with satisfaction the promi-'
nence that is being given to the SUBJ
ject and the growth in the ranks Of
advocates of dual currency. He be-
lieves that it will become the issue
to more marked degree than some
people are willing to admit.

left last night. Farmer Gibbs is stay
ing around to start his boom for gov
ernor and to outline his campaign. He
will soon begin a canvass of the state
to gather up the ruff1es of some of the
plans he has already laid.
Lieut.. Gov. Day has some duties
to perform and is also looking after
some fences. He may be a candidate
for lieutenant governor and fairly win
tho spurs that he could have had
three months ago by merely saying
the word and not have to be contented
with the title of president of the SEN
ate. Again, he may take it into his
head to contest for congressional
honors, but whichever he selects, he
will enter into the canvass with a
vim that overcomes obstacles.
M. J. Bowling, clerk of the late
house, is finishing up duties incident to
completing some records. Next week
he will go home and pick up the quill
to indite editorials and direct the
destinies of the Renville Star-Farmer
Hon. Henry Feig will remain until
Friday to explain how it was that his
committee failed to go deeper into the
investigation of the acts of the late
state treasurer and other officials. By
the time he is ready to go home he will
be loaded with explanations to his con-
stituents to show them what record
he made.
humorist of the good-natured
statesman-went over to Minneapolis
yesterday to say goodbye to friends
there. Today he will gather his fam
lily together and leave the winter
quarters they have occupied on st. An
thony Hill. Mr.. Shell never makes an
enemy, but on the other hand made
many friends in addition to members Of
the legislature. The codification and
revision of the insurance laws resulted
from his efforts and he is receiving
commentator on all hands from the
people who carry insurance, for his
work done in this line
Hon. ]. J. Furlong, of Morris, is re-
naming in the city to close up the

suance of the action of the legislature.
