THERE'S an apparently well authenticated
| report current 10 the effect that Senator
| Quay has decided to swing the Pennsylvania
delegation for senator Allison in the next
| national convention. Senator Quay can
not control the entire vote of the delegation
but he will undoubtedly speak for the MA
| jority. 1t Is asserted that while lie is
personally friendly To Reed, Senator Quay
has come To the e'conciusion that a Western
man will secure the nomination. He looks
| upon Allison as the representative of con
| servative Western sentiment both upon
| the tariff and SILVER questions.
Quay has not been On good terms with
| Gen. Harrison for some years. He looks
| upon Mckinley as t"o much of a lone
| idea' candidate. and therefore has very
| friendly feeling towards the Iowa Senator.
He has decided. SO IL is said, to give him
his support. Senator Quay. after his honie
victory. lost no time in announcing that he
is a candidate for the Craftsmanship of the
national Republican committee.
1t was under his leadership that Gen.
Harrison was elected in 'SS. This fact
makes the prospect OF his success in this
direction very bright. He will probably
be chosen. In that event his Influence for
the candidate whom he favors for the head
of the ticket will perhaps he greater than
that of any other man. The report, there
fore, that Senator Quay has determined
TO support the candidacy OF Senator A Ilison
is of more than ordinary interest. II has
been looked upon by politicians for some
time as practically certain that the nom-
nation lies between Harrison and Allison.
with the latter a second choice of the ad-
yocates of all the other candidates. With
the powerful support of Pennsylvanis, Ali-
son stock will boom as soon as Quay's
position is generally known.-C. A. Ham

State and Navy Department officials

ing that the English authorities now seem
willing TO enter into such an agreement has
just been received.

When the population OF Duluth reaches
the 100, 900 mark, Mai. Baldwin, ex-Con-
gresham from the Sixth Minnesota dis
trict and present chairman of the Chip
pewa Indian commission, Is to open a
small bottle.
According to the major, he was present
ed some years ago with a quart bottle of
the best Kentucky whisky by Gen. Hardin,
OF that State. 1t will be recalled that Har-
din is the Democratic candidate for gov
erDor this year. Gen. Hardin has become
politically notorious because of the posi-
ton he has taken before and since he ac-
cepted his nomination. He heads the Dem
ocratic State ticket in Kentucky, but does
not profess, and will not accept, the plat
form adopted at its convention. The cur
reDcy plank iniithis platform does not suit
him. It IL for this reason that he a nd the
Democratic platform and a good many
Democrats in Kentucky are wide apart.
Gen. Hardin'sI candidacy, however, has
very little to do with the bnttle of whisky
that he presented to Mai. Baldwin. The
ex-Duluth Congressman is little cautious
in explaining just why IL was that he ac-
cepted this present from Gen. Hardin, and
just why he made the pledge that he did.
The great increase In the population nf
Duluth within the past five years is a very
satisfactory thing to- Mai. Baldwin. He
owns considerable real estate in the Zenith
City, and the alleged go GOO population is
more than gratifying to him for this reason.
1t was some years ago probably that he
was sanguine enough to assert to Gen.
Hardin that Duluts some time in the future
weuld have 100, 600 residents.
A Minneapolis man asked him when he
expected to open 1t. The maior replied:
s'Of course, ! am not certain, but an
ticipate that the bottle will be uncorked
within the next ten years.
The Minneapolis man did not agree
with the ex-Congressman that within the
next ten years the Zenith City would have
100, ,000, nor within the next fifty. He
said:
..This whisky will be old enough when
Duluth reaches the 1000 population
mark to make every man, woman and child
In the town dead drunk" =,
The Dulutb boomer smiled serenely at the
Minneapolis mans statement. but did MT
deny the fact that Gen. Hardin's present ]
would be very 0ld before he uncorked it, IL
he kept his pledSe.-J. 3. Van Antwerp. In
