district, nor Congressman Heatwole,
of the Third, will be renominated
next year. In the case of the latter
it is said that there is an agreement
that he entered into at the time of
his nomination last year, by the
terms Of which he is to get out of
the way in 1896. This may explain
the Indifference of the Mortified
editor as to a congressional career.
When he was here q month and a
half since he frankly said that a
seat in the lower house of congress
had no attractions for him, intimat-
ing that it would be different if Min
nesota had sent him to the upper
house
But" he frankly confessed, while
have no hankering after the lower
house of congress, L have always
cherished a desire to be governor of
Minnesota"
Here the Third district Adonis
stopped talking. He did not say that
he will be a candidate for the CUB
ernatorial nomination next year, or
that he would endeavor to
SECURE ANOTHER TERM
in the house, but the impression he
left was that if he did not enter the
race for governor in 1896 it will be
simply because, in his opinion, the
time will not be ripe In this case
Joel will probably ask for a renom-
inatior for congress and get it. He
may have a fight, for Goodhue, as
the county that furnishes the bulk
of the Republican vote as well as
the party majorities, will certainly
have candidate; indeed, she may
have too many of them. Gen. S. P.
Jennison has long cherished a de-
sire to go to congress, and he is tired
of waiting. Frank Wilson has not
been troubled with this disease so
long because he is, comparatively
speaking, young man, but still
Wilson will certainly be in the
field in the next contest. Then,
again, there is ex-Sheriff A. f. An
derson, who is now out of a job
but is the leader Of ORA CT the fac
lions of the party J Goadhue. He
will want to make the ace for him
self in '96. A year ago he tried to
secure the Goodhue delegation, but
Frank Wilson knocked aim out with
out any trouble, and then Anderson
went to the Cnaska convention and
did his level best to down Wilson.
Thus it will be seen that there will
be no lack of candidates from Goodhue.

If there are not some others. Exon

to enter the lists, his defeat for the
state senate last fall insuring him
against the necessity of serving as

TONNES TRADE WITH KINNEY.
Congressman Towne, it is said.
agreed when he was nominated to pull
out in 1896 in the interests of Hon. o. d.
Kinney, also of st. Louis county, in re-
turn for the support which Mr.. Kinney
and his friends gave Mr.. Towne There
was a very bitter fight for the st. Louis
delegation to the Brainerd convention
which nominated Mr.. Towne, so bitter
that it was thought to seriously jeopar-
die both the nomination and election
of Towne. Mr.. Kinney finally came
into line and assisted in the work of
nominating his rival. This action
cleared the atmosphere in st. Louis
county and made smooth sailing for
Towne. Whether there was any deal
of the kind mentioned or not, the fact
remains that there was a sudden
1l,o
followers, and that to this change was
due the nomination of Mr. Towne.
However, now that Mr. Towne is in
he may make up his mind to go back
on the deal made by his friends and
ask for another nomination, to which
he will be clearly entitled under the
rules and practices of the Republican
party of Minnesota. More than this
he can hardly hope to get, for the rea-
son that there are a lot of ambitious
Republican leaders down in the vicln-
ity of st. Cloud, Little Falls and
Wright county, who will insist, or be
quite likely to do so, that Duluth is not
entitled to the member of congress all
the time.
INCLINED TO FREE COINAGE. &
Congressman Towne, as has been in
dicated many times, is still a good deal
of a Michigan man. Since his election
he has spent nearly all of his time in
his OLD home, and has become inoculat-
ed with the free silver sentiment that
seems to have such q strong hold on
men of all parties in that state. In
case he decides to follow the majority
of his friends in the Michigan Repub-
Ecan delegation on this question there
Will d.,
on that ground. The Sixth district is
sound money district, and Mr.. Towne
is at the present time anything but
sound money man.
But the young member from the
head of the lakes is not the only Min
nesotan who is weak on the financial
question. Eddy, Tawney, Heatwole.
and even McCleary are wavering; and
only Col. Kiefer and Congressman
Fletcher are firm in their opposition
to the demands of the silver men.
ASK NO PROTECTION.
In a recent bulletin sent out by the
senate committee on finance there is
very interesting statement from the
Nelson Paper company, of Mime
apolis. In addition TO giving some
facts about the relation of their bust
ness to the tariff, an estimate of the
cost of living for well-to-do working
man is given. The letter follows:
We make the different kinds of pa
per according to demand. Tho whole
amount Of business is about 100000 a
year. We stopped running full time
