THEY CAME AND WENT.
A Busy Day For Congressman nc.
CJeary.

Monday was set aside by Con-
gresham McCleary to receive appli-
cants for postof1ices in various towns
in his district, and a goodly number
of such improved the opportunity for
presenting their claims to the con-
gresham. In many instances good
sized delegations accompanied the ap-
plicants to give them courage and the
congressman advice. 1t may look
easy on the surface for representa-
tive to make selections for the various
offices within his gift. but where there
are three or four applicants for the
same place, all personal friends and
about equally endorsed, the task of
choosing is anything but easy. But
Mr.. McCleary may be depended upon
to do the right thing as he sees it,and
if he goes counter to popular senti-
ment it will not, we feel sure, be in
territorial.
Among the prominent representa-
tives from outside Monday we MOTTO
ed G. 9. Whitney of Marshall; Editor
Aitkin and Mr.. Dickinson, of Red
wood Falls; Editors Dawson and
Ruane, of Slayton, together with At
torney Long and one or two others
from the same place; Senator Dunn
and M. B. Shanks, of Fairmont.
1t is every way probable that Mr.
Shanks will be the next P. M. at Fair
mont. If so the choice will prove
popular, as Mr.. Shanks is one of the
most popular as well as one of the
hardest working Republicans in
Martin county, and he richly deserves
the place.
At Slayton, the situation is good
deal mixed. For some months Mr..
Dawson has been known as an appli-
can't for the postoffice, and he has
strong support. Within a few days,
however, MI. Ruane has come into
the field, and with two Republi-
can newspaper men after the same
place the situation becomes embar-
RAISING. AS the term of the present
incumbent does not expire until Sep
TENDER or October, Mr.. McCleary
will take no action in the matter I'M
tilsafter the adjournment of congress.
In the case of the Amboy Office Mr..
McCleary gave no intimation of what
he would finally do. There are three
or four prominent applicants, and the
selection will require his best thought
and most careful consideration.
1t is understood that the congress-
man has decided upon his choice at
Blue Earth and Winnebago, but who
the successful applicants will be is
not given out.
A good deal of inquiry has been
made as to the probable action in the
Mankato office-the most important
in the district. AS the term of the
present incumbent does not expire
until May, 1898, no action whatever
will be taken for several months, and
Mr., McCleary gives it out cold that
ne has given the matter little or no
consideration as yet and will not do so
for some months
Mr.. McClearY left on the morning
train for st. Paul where he spent the
day, and will leave this evening for
Wisconsin where Mrs. McCleary will
spend several weeks with relatives.
MI. McCleary will be present at the
ceremonies at Gettysburg, after which
he will return to Washington and re-
main until the adjournment of the
extra session.
