SATISFIED THE COLONEL.

SATISFIED THE COLONEL.
Col. Kiefer would naturally be set
down in the Henderson column, but
the Winonan has fixed" him all right
with promise, and he will forget all
about his old comrade at the caucus
for a very small mess of pottage. The
colonel wants Ito pick a winner"
failing that seems to go with Fourth
district members of congress of all
parties, and he has been convinced by
Mr.. Tawney that the Quay-Platt slate
is certain to go through without
crack. Johnson, of North Dakota, will
be for Gen. Henderson and he can not
be led away by any promises. He may
also be counted upon to support
Western man for speaker in case any
real opposition to Reed develops, as
seems likely. But Minnesota Repub-
lican members in late years have al
ways disregarded their own section of
the country, preferring to follow New
York and Pennsylvania, and under the
leadership of Mr.. Tawney they are
in no danger of adopting a new course.
HUNGRY REPUBLICANS.
During the past two years the Re
publican members of congress and the
newspaper organs of that party have
taken pleasure in abiding to the de-
sire of the Democrats to appropriate
some of the government offices, but
they are no longer discussing this sub
ject. 1t is not at all strange that they
have stopped, because not in years mas
there been such a wild scramble as Is
now being made for the new ofhces
that are within the gift of the lower
house of congress. Although in all
probability the next congress Will not
meet for eight long months. the Office
seekers are here hoping that by the
failure of some appropriation Dill or
the necessities of the government, an
extra session will be called, In which
event they want to be on the ground.
During the term Capt. Harries repre-
scented the First district in the house
he kept LauritZ Olson, ali old soldier
from Winona. who lost his hands IN
firing a cannon celebrating Harrison's
election, in office as a messenger at
500 per month, and when Congressman
Tawney failed to secure his retention
by the present congress, he was very
Gratis in unmeasured terms. But Mr..
Tawney is not looking after any Dem
ocratic old soldiers these days. Every
thing is to be changed now. The Re
publicans are not hungry, not at all.
WORKING" MARION BUTLER.
There is to be a fusion i'll the next
senate between the Republicans and
nj
of the senate as the prime object. The
appearance of Marion Butler, who Will
succeed Senator Ransom, of North
Carolina, was hailed with delight by
the Republican leaders of the senate
last week, and they are making much
of him. PETER is the man who is be-
ing depended upon by the Republicans
to bring Butler over to the scheme.
Senator Kyle is opposed to the reor-
ganiza ton, and so are Senators Allen
and Stewart, but with Butler and PEI
fer and Jones, of Nevada, the Repub-
licans will have enough votes to do it.
PETER was handsomely treated by the
Democrats when they reorganized two
years ago the coming August, and has
nearly all of his family on the senate
roll now, but he has some relatives in
his old home in Pennsylvania that the
Republicans have promised to make
places for in case of the reorganiza
ton, and this catches Peffer. There is
little opposition to this proposed al
lance among some of the Eastern Re
publicans, but Chandler and Hoar will
silence it. and it really all depends
upon the course decided upon by the
new senator from North Carolina. If
he falls in with the proposition it will
be adopted. In this event Senator
Davis will probably become chairman
of the committee on Pacific railways,
as he is the ranking Republican mem
Der of that committee. At the time
the Democrats. came. into power in the
senate Senator Davis was chairman of
the pension committee, but he is tired
of that work, and he will probably not
care to return to it.
M'KENZIES NEW FIELD.
For more than a month past Re-
ceiver Cakes, of the Northern Pacific,
and Alex Mckenzie, the king of Da
kota," have been here experimenting
congress while that body has been
considering the bill to classify, or
rather reclassify, the mineral lands III
the Northern Pacific grant. In its or
iginal form the bill would have greatly
damaged the Northern Pacific, but
Messrs. Cakes and Mckenzie neatly
extracted the fangs of the measure,
and as it will become a law they are
entirely satisfied with it. Mr.. Cakes
takes a hopeful view of Northern Pa
cific affairs, and is looking forward to
the spring, when he will return to ST.
Paul to reside. He, as we'll as his
family, are very fond of the Sanity
City, and all are glad that his bust
ness demands that he return there to
live.
