Chats With Exchanges.

The Republicans have some mighty
good gubernatorial timber. -Slayton
Gazette.
| But the trouble is that the selection
won't be made from that kind of timber.
The populace of SPAN, especially at
Madrid, are said to be eager for war
with the United States.-Janesville Argus
Poor fools, they know not what they
ask. There Don Quixotes, all of them.
Everything thus far goes to show that
the Maine was blown up byl spaniards.
Blue Earth City Post.
Everything, in fact, but the "coolness"
of the president, the "opinion" of Han
ma and the new-fashioned patriotism of
whole lot of citizens and congressman.
Patriotism still exists in these United
States.-Anoka Union.
Well, for that matter, it always has,
but not always among those in posi-
ton best able to exercise it.
There. seems to linger no doubt in ad.
ministration circles that the Maine was
destroyed by design.-Janesville Argus.
How do you make that out? Isn't
Mark Hanna the major arc of the admin
istration circle, and didn't he say, but
yesterday, with all the confidence of an
enlightened naval expert, that the Maine
disaster was due to accident? How dare
you thus mlsquote him?
Eustis can wait four years and still be
in the prime of -Ortonville Herald
Star.
Or eight or ten and still be good
campaign orator for somebody else. Yes,
Eustis can wait. He'll have to.
After the most thorough investigation,
we fail to find any conspiracy to defeat
the reelection of Senator Cushman K.
Davis.--Blue Earth City Post.
But does that prove that there isn't
any? When Davis was elected the last
time, by bare majority Of, one, it was
absolutely impossible to make even Dav-
is managers understand that Sam Peter
son of this city, Charlie Davis of St. Pc
ter and a few other pledged Republican
members had plot Matched to defeat
him. But they did just the same, and,
although it was not sprung until the last
moment, it came dangerously close to
working successfully. Don't make the
mistake, Hamlin, of thinking that every
body who says he IS for Davis means it.
1t is whispered that, in the event of
Captain Van SAINTS nomination and cleo
ton, Jerry J. of the Minneapolis Journ-
al will be his private secretary.-St Pet
er journal. 49,
Then we will at least have good and
versatile secretary, if the governor does
Mt amount to anything.
Advices from Washington are to the
effect that Congressman McCleary has
been placed at the head of the literary
bureau of the republican national con-
gressional committee.-M in nea O is
Journal. 2..o, p. -.-
A pretty sure sign that the bureau is
to. beconverted into an advertising bu-
Ereau for the ''great fnancier" and the
country flooded with copies Of the stere.
otyped speech that he began to deliver
six years o,thc one vith4Amerlca"saId

Boss Croker, of New York, in an in
terview, says that free silver must take a
back seat and that the next campaign
must be waged upon other issues.--J anes-
vile Argus.
If FIVE mistake not, there was another
New Yorker, Hill by name, who made
some such assertion before recent dem.
ocratic convention, but for some reason
or other he has since been rather penur.

we'll for Croker, whoever he is, to pro
fit BY the experience Of this once distin
guished counselor, and take tumble t.
the fact that the state which he repre-
SCENTS will have but precious little to sa,
in the next democratic national conven
