B MINNEAPOLIS, March 2, 1885, Mate
christopher, a Minneapolis girl, wins
the bicycle race. Anderson, who is
known to the race visitors, as 'sChica-
COS big Swede,o withdrew before
the end on the ground that the referee
did did not credit her with the extra lap
which she was entitled to. What she
wanted OF an extra lap, when she
needed nearly 20 miles, does not APP
pear.
The six big bells, weighing from
1000 to 5000 pounds each, have ar
rived for the court house; and now
there will be sweet music issuing be-
tween acts as taxpayers and criminals
step TO the racketeat the court house
grind.
This mornings lf8baaae has page
broadside of State press sentiment on
the gubernatorial situation. There
seems to be a marked difference be-
tween the IAibuae's broad resume of
sentiment from all sources, and the
Times and journal ene-sided presenta-
tion. The Tribune presentation is of
some value as exhibiting public senti-
I'zneent. Every section and every faction
ssrepresented. It is a revelation to
those who supposed the -Clough
sentiment was something terrible.

The grand jury last Friday gave the
city administration hot roast for it's
policy of permitting gambling. And
the roast has had an effect; at least,
three colored joints have been raided
sinoe then. The jury should try
another roast and see if that would
fetch bigger game.

The Times does not seem to be on
any better terms with the municipal
court and the grand jury, than with
the people Of Minnesota. When the
c5art and the grand jury rebuked and.
Indicted Captain Helm Of the police
force for malfeasance of duty in con-
nection with a certain gambling joint,
the Times editorially defends Helm.
But what else could you expect of the
Times?

The Penny Press publishes an editor
ial column long, exposing the folly of
the organs of the 100 in their assault
upon Senator Nelson. The senator's
numerous friends in this city are liable
to make it hot for the 100 before the
primaries are over. e. go,

The county commissioners have
agreed to rescind the reward of $4,000
for the capture of Menage, and
Menage's friends say he will return as
soon as he is notified of the fact It is
believed that he will be on, the ground
in time for the gubernatorial cam
paign. It is too bad he was not here
to sign his name on the committee list
of 100, along with some OF his brother
directors of the Guaranty Loan, but
then they may enlarge the committee
to l25, if names enough can be secured,
in which case Menage would have
chance to be enrolled

I have not heard anything further of
Mr.. Evans precinct 'santi'' clubs, but
Capt. Snider and Major Goodnow seem
to be organizing Mckinley clubs at the
rate of two or three week.

Mr.. G. A. PillsburY did not place his
name on the committee of 100. The
name Of J. S. Pillsbury is also con-
spicuous for absence. It is said that
these gentlemen, when approached on
the subject Of giving their names,
replied that if there were a hundred
fellows big enough. fools to sign that
yarn, they were welcome to do so; but
as for themselves they preferred to be
excused.

Has the Times lost hope with its
string of chargers? It got up.a string
composed of Eustis, McGill, Van SAINT,
Gibbs, with Evans as a dark horse. Tt
has dropped Gibbs, with the charge
that he is friendly to the governor.
It has cast reflections upon Van SAINT,
in connection with using the G. A. r.
as campaign thunder in Hennepin,
with prejudice to favorite son Eustis.
It has arrayed the A. p a. against Nc
Gill on the ground that he is a bosom
friend Of Bishop ireland. And now it
is hunting up new candidates with
great zeal.
