lieve members from undue pressure, /
begin to think those fellows desire to be
able to say they voted for the winner,
no matter who he is. For instance, l
could vote Tor Washburn. and if Nelson
is elected could go home and tell the
Nelson men | voted tor Knute. The
open viva y0ce vote is the only manly
way in my opinion"
"Charley" Buchanan is reputed to be
strong man in the Legislative contest;
but really Buchanan is not decisive
factor. He used to be when he was a
member from the old Fifth. That time
is past, however, and the best he can do
is to talk to members Nelson himself
is worth many men like Buchanan and
SaDin. "Sabe'' is aptly described asa
political quantity that is discredlted. II
not dsoWned, by all political parties. In
other days one of the handSOmeSt and
most influential men Of Minnesota, to-
day he is simply partisan hustler
who diSlikeS his successful oppo-
nent - WaShburn - even more than
he loves the fighting descendant of the
Vikings. Washburn beaten, "Sabe''
could appropriate lot of credit that
might fairly be claimed by workers who
are quiet but effective, although not so
we'll known as the Saltwater man who
was once power in Minnesota politics.
1.-The divinity that doth hedge round a
king" oftentimeS sheds radiance be-
yond the passing moment of success.
In this reflected halo Sabin Is basklng;
but in Justice it must be said he IS not
losing one CLEAN of the divine efful-

gain the Saltwater Logan is focusing
pdblic attention in a most effective
fashion.
Judge Barck, of Rock county, came in
last night with the report that most OF
the Republicans of his section are i'll
favor of Nelson. Il am pleased with
the open ballot" said Judge Bal elk, ''for
the reason that it will enable US to know
how our senator and representatives
voted. In voting for Washburn l do
not think that Senator Miller Is repre-
senting the preference OF his con-
stituents."
w. Adelbert Smith, the Window
banker, is in St. Paul attending the
Masonic grand lodge meeting. Besides
Of crack running team. and finds time
to play as good game of whist as any
man in the Second district. He does
not part his name in the middle because
of vanity, but for the reason that there
is, or was, second W. A. Smith in
Window whose personality was entirely
different.
Iu6 a Morro IF North naLOto who
scents hot political battle from afar,
came down to ST. Panl to see how our
politicians handle their forces. Jud
protests he is only an interested specta-
tor, and perhaps he is. But in all ad-
visory capacity he can be OF value to
any sides he aeSpouses. and in a close
pinch he can see way out as Quick as
any man.
EX-Representative Tyler. who was a
member from Lyon county in the last
session. was in the city yesterday, on
his way to Pierre. S. D. Mr.. Tyler is
travelling agent of the American EX-
press company. and goes to Pierre to
kill any possible woodchucks that may
be introduced. He is as game fighter
as ever stood in legislature, and never
lodges hot scrimmage.

Last night the hotel corridors had a
quiet. rsstful appearance. The very
few Populist and Democratic members
were the only senatorial electors TO be
seen, and they looked as contented and
disinterested as the proverbial pig on
ice. Now that the Republicans have
been unable to choose a candidate in
caucus, the Democrats and Populists
can undoubtedly have deciding voice
in naming Washburn's successor.
