shall MesyHgMV pHe Of the best
posted pdifaans il theA State, in
his last issue, thus outlines the pro-
gR1 2f,thegs6. p. war plots:

The scheme is to down both
Young and Jacobson for governor,
and get man who is acceptable to
The railroads and corporations. Bob
Dunn hates Young and does not
like Jacobson, but he is backing the
latter to kill off the former, and will
take chances on the convention
naming a man the schemers want.
The St. Paul parties to the plan
would like to place Oar Reese in the
executive chair, as that would suit
the liquor interests, but they are
afraid public sentiment is too strong
for the working of such lead, and
they will give their attention to get
ing safe man for the railroads, and
either P. E. Hanson or Ripley
Brewer will suit them, and one of
these men they are after. Hanson
is not, strictly speaking, a railroad
man, and could not for a moment be
dictated to by the railroads, but his
whole Minnesota career and his
fortune are allied with the Great
Northern road, and he is the per-
sonal friend of Jim Hill, while Ripley
Brewer is Peter Hanson's son-in-law
Both men have clean and honorable
records, both are popular throuout
the state and either would be con-
sidered safe by the railroads and the
big corporations. Just you watch
this game and see if 1 am not right"
