were all well posted as to the progress of
the work, and that it formed the topic of
discussion among them every day during
the count. These dispatches will convict
Sherman, Noyes, and others of their tribe of
downright perjury, and sink chem still lower
IN the scale of infamy.
The manner in which these dispatches
came to be in the possession of Butler is not
at all fattering to the character of the late
president of the Western Union Telegraph
company. That he should so far forget his
duty as to resort to trick to aid the mach
nations of a ring of corrupt politicians is not
to his credit. It was dishonorable in the ex-
treme and utterly indefensible.
A few days will probably develop what use
Butler intends to make of this mine of in
formation at hand. We trust he will make a
full exposition of all the facts, no matter
where they may strike. If men, to secure
partisan ends, have been guilty of bribery,
perjury, or forgery, the people have right
to know it, and Butler will confer public
benefit by placing whatever information he
has where it may be reached by those inter
ested.

An ABSURD LIE.

The "little lying Dispatch manifests an
undue anxiety lest the Democrats should
buy up the delegates to the Republican coun-
ty convention, next week. The assertions of
that sheet are not altogether complimentary
to it's party, as it is assuming that the Re-
publicans are for sale in the open market.
In the next place, its assumption is absurd
from the fact that the Democratic ticket will
not be nominated until after the Republican,
and hence there are no Democratic candi-
dates to buy up the Republicans, who are so
anxious to sell. The present Democratic Of
ticials in this county are exceedingly popular,
and the Democratic ticket, when nominated,
will also be popular and command large
Republican support. These efficient officers
or popular candidates are not to blame be-
cause honest Republicans support them, and
they should not, on that account, be accused
of buying the scalawag members of that
party who are employed Oh the Dispatch, or
cumming about the city.
AS matter of fact, the Republicans have
been securing the city for week past to
find, without success, a man who will run for
county auditor on their tickes, but the story
that Lee Davis, the prospective Democratic
nominee, is endeavoring, in any manner, to
influence the Republican nomination is an
absurd lie.

Maine a Sure Indicator.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


We are daily in receipt of letters from
friends in different sections of the country
asking our opinion as to the result of the
coming elections in Ohio and Indiana. Ever
since 1910 we have been guided in our opin-
ion by the result of the September election
in Maine. There has not been an election
since that memorable year, when 'sMaine
went hell-bent for Gov. Kent" that the cleo
ton in that State has not been true bar
ometer of the political results in the North
ern States. By the ebbing and flowing of
the Republican majorities in Maine, we have
heretofore been enabled to Judge correctly of
what would occur in Pennsylvania, New
York, Indiana and Ohio. When her ma
jorities were larger than twenty or even
twenty-five thousand, we were always rout-
ed. When they went below nine or ten
thousand the Democrats have all but in
variably triumphed in the States above
named. The result this year indicates the
utter and overwhelming defeat of the Re
publican party.
A defeat of 10000 in Maine means ma
Jority of $4,000 against the Republicans in
Ohio; of $4,000 to 10000 in Pennsylvania:
of 10000 in Indiana, and of over 100000 in
New York. In the last-named State, where
the Democrats have made hard money
platform, we do not expect the Democrats to
have the victory; but the Nationals, Green
hackers, and the Democrats together WILL in
our opinion, literally crush the Republican
party. We are not alone in this opinion
The best and clearest-headed men in the Re
publican party know what we have said
above is as true as fate. We have talked to
some of the leading men of that party and
they have admitted that the result in Maine
they feared) BODIED no good to their party
No man in the United States understands
the meaning of the late rout in Maine better
than John Sherman. Well does he know
what that 10000 majority against his party
foretells. He knows that it is the agony of
the bankrupt people of staid old Maine who
have revolted, and he knows that Maine is
but the pulse of Ohio and Indiana, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, and New York. He knows
that million bankrupts are waiting to
record their protests against his vjllainous
policy.

THE FIRST DISTRICT UNITING.

Six members of the First District Demo
cratic committee, viz: Messrs. VIM. Brown
Balcombe Huntley, John Schumacher, G. F.
Buck, e. G. Stacy and H. F. Shearman, have
been heard from and all unite in recon.
mending the Democrats of that district tc
heartily support Hon. VIM. Meighen, the
Greenback nominee for Congress. The re.
naming four members of the committee
will doubtless coincide, and in few DAYS
the recommendation will be officially pro-
mulgated.
This action is both wise and proper.
There is not sufficient diversity between the
Democratic and National platforms as to
warrant their frittering away their strength
by separate tickle 8. union of all elements
to dethrone the party of corruption and
misrule, now in power, is the great desidera-
tum. Dunnel has written a letter to a gen
tleman in this city asking for aid in view of
this expected union. Notwithstanding the
heretofore supposed to-be-reliable Republic
can majority in that district, Dunnell is
afraid of the sof year, and that unknown
quantity, the Greenback vote. Dunnel]
formerly lived in Maine, and since the
election in that State he regards s.doubtful
things as mighty uncertain"

resentatives. No one but an egregious ass,
or one who thought the people could be de-
ceived by the thinnest of all pleas,
would make use of such a statement
against political adversary. We fear that
if the Southern people wait for riches till
their war debt IS paid and they are REIN
bursed for the emancipation of their slaves,
they will have to remain in poverty for many
centuries to come.
Washburn's fears for the currency are per-
haps pardonable. He has not, as far as we
nave been able to learn, a single well-defned
theory upon that question. He doesn't
know what he wants himself, and it is not
to be wondered at that he should be ignorant
of or wilfully misrepresent the policy of the
Democratic party. The currency issue is
above his grasp-too intricate for his limited
understanding. The man who charges that
the Democratic party desires the unlimited
issue of irredeemable paper currency is
either fool or a knave. We are inclined
to the belief that Bill combines the two. He
certainly cannot hope to influence any intel
llgent man by such absurdities as are quoted
from his money-begging letter. If he does,
ne will find himself most egregiously mis-
taken.

4 WAsHBusv ISSUE DEc11rrn

A WASHBURN ISSUE DECLINED
The Minneapolis Tribune continues to
appeal to the people of Minneapolis to sup
port Washburn because he is an enemy to
st. Paul. We only notice this to show the
lunacy and foolishness of Washburn and his
TRENDS. 1t is both unmanly and impolitic
Tor Washburn to array himself against any
portion of the district which he seeks to
represent, and can but damage him in all
quarters. We regret that he should open any
such war through the Tribune, not on his
account, for the more foolish course he pur-
| sues, the more votes he alienates, the better,
but there should not be aught but the most
friendly feelings between the cities.
The action Of the St. Paul Chamber of
Commerce in exposing Mr.. Washburn' g
wheat ring, wss not an act of hostility to-
wards Minneapolis, but the step was taken
because Mr.. Washburn and other individ-
uals associated with him were striking a
vital blow at the prosperity of the State, by
robbing farmers and defrauding them to
such An extent that wheat raising involves a
positive loss. No grasshopper or other af-
Fiction ever dealt So serious blow at our
material interests as this ring, and the St.
Paul Chamb ,r of Commerce acted wisely in
ventilating the matter.
Mr.. Donnelly does not stand as repre-
sentative of any section of the District or
State. He is broad minded enough to rep
resent all. Being producer he is naturally
friend Of the producer, and in 80 being is
friend of St. Paul, Minneapolis, and every
other town in the District. Though Mr..
Washburn may seek through the Tribune,
Bill King, or other agencies to provoke To-
cal controversy, the GLOBE declines to be a
party. Mr.. Washburn must fight that por-
tlon of the campaign without opposition.
If Mr.. Donneliy appealed to any such mar
row prejueices for votes the GLOBE would as
emphatically condemn Kim az it does
Mr.. Washburn. As narrow-minded and
bigoted as we know Mr.. Washburn to be, we
are surprised that he should not, as matter
of policy, il nothing more, refrain from
attempting such an issue. AS the GLOBE
declines the battle which he offers, he must
of necessity place his campaign on higher
basis.

IT is getting to be extremely hazardous to
wager money on any of the popular sports
of the day. In ninety cases out of a
hundred, rowing or billiard match, horse
race or a base ball game, is ISOLDE before it
takes place. The result is that those in the
ring fleece those out of it, and sports of all
sorts are fast becoming wholly and irredeem-
ably disreputable. This should not be. We
see no reason why regatta horse race OF
other sporting events should not be con-
Quoted fairly and reputably, and win the en-
couragement of all respectable people, but

Courtney farce all decent men will forsake

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

The GLOBE has the best of authority for
stating that the Board of Directors of the
Northern Pacific railroad are contemplating
no movement which will involve change of
their terminal point from st. Paul. Whether
the projected line on the west bank of the
river is constructed or not, the terminus is
to be at st. Paul, and we are assured the Di-
rectors have no desire or thought otherwise.
In the event, however, of the new line be-
ing built, as now seems probable, it will be
of the utmost Importance for the property
owners and people of st. Paul to meet the
company with the greatest iberality. When
that road has line of it's own running into
the city it will require large amount of
ground to conduct it's business. Its enoine
houses, freight and passenger de-
pots, repair shops, and the yard
for making up trains, transfers, etc..
will all require space, and St. Paul should
welcome such improvements in practical
manner. The greed of property owners
drove the important works of one great line
of road from St. Paul, and that mistake
must not be repeated. The Northern Pa
cifc road is a gigantic national work which
traverses an empire, and it stands ready to
pour that trade into the lap of St. Paul.
We do not need to enlarge upon the i'm
portance of this matter. Our citizens
should act with hberality and promptitude
which will forever settle the relations of that
great enterprise with St. Paul and secure to
US everything which belongs to the terminal
point of such gigantic thoroughfare.

ANOTHER "REPORT" ON THE WASH
BURN WHEAT RING

Inasmuch as Bill Kings newspaper and
his Chamber of Commerce representative
have been anxiously calling for report:
upon the wheat ring, we may be pardoned
for quoting the following extract from Bills
paper of Thursday:
1t was currently reported yesterday that sew
eral Milwaukee wheat buyers are now scattered
along the main line of the St. Paul & Pacific
road, and competing with the Minneapolis
Mlllers association in the purchase of wheat
grown in that portion of the State. The reason
for this business diversion is said to lie in dis
satisfaction entertained by gentlemen inter
ested in the Milwaukee d st. Paul road, because
the local millers. If the promised or reported
competition is to be fully inaugurated,
1T ia probable that the price of wheat in the
direction indicated will be raised without the
intervention of legislation or the cries of office
hungry politicians. On the other hand, millers
contend that the appearance of these outside
buyers Is a notification Of attempted BULLDOG
ing, to which they will not tamely submit, and
IT the worst comes to worst they can success
fully meet the competition and divert their
shipments to other avenues of transportation.
The GLOBE has already announced that
the result of this competition added six cents
P0A DuoAAOA w CAlO p11CO VI Wuedt Ill Uuo lace
of decline of six cents in Milwaukee. If
Bill Washburn's Minneapolis wheat ring can
afford to pay this advance to meet competi
ton is not the profit they have been taking
robbery" of the farmer? Does it not
prove the correctness of the charge (Which
has been vehemently denied) that the Wash
burn ring would run off any competitors and
hold the farmers at their mercy?
Bill Kings paper of yesterday contains
this significant paragraph:
1t is now reported that the Milwaukee wheat
buyers will withdraw from the main line Of the
st. Paul u Pacific, and that all differences be-
tween the Minneapolis millers and the Milwau-
kee st. Paul company have been satisfactory
ly compromised.
And now the price of wheat will 90 down.
not only the six cents advanced, but still
more to meet the decline in Milwaukee, for
be it known the ring must conform to Mil
waukee, and they selected Milwaukee in
spector in order to be certain that there was
no mistake on this point.
The GLOBE committee reports that the
farmers are again at the mercy of the Wash
burn wheat ring and asks leave to sit again.

when he was assaulted by Zachler (who was
drunk) Receiving the worse of the scuffle,
Zachler departed, swearing that he would

CHARACTERISTIC MEND4cfTy.

Bill Washburn processes to be afraid that
the Collection of Democratic House of Rem.
resentatives would precipitate upon the
country dangerous agitations, which would,
inevitably, add to the present distresses and
burdens. Among these schemes is the in
tention to attempt the revolutionary expul-
sion of the President from his Office. the
payment of the rebel claims and war debt.
the payment of the full value of all eman-
cipated slaves, and the unlimited issue of
lrredeemable paper currency, in place of the
present redeemable paper money, which was
issued by authority of q Republican Con-
gress, and by the same party had been sus-
tanned, thereby preserving the national
honor and credit If Bill really believes
this, he is bigger fool than we have given
MN credit for. But he knows he is talking
nonsense--giving the voters sstaffy.'' AS to
the intention of deposing Mr.. Hayes from
Office, the Democrats are of the opinion that
the game would not be worth the powder.
They know he is no more entitled to the Of
fee he holds than Bill Washburn is entitled
to place in the calendar of saints, and pro-
pose to rebuke his usurpation and the frauds
through which it was consummated in such
an emphatic manner az to prove warning
to all future thieves who might desire to
wrest from the people their right to self
government. 1t is safe to say, too, that Bill
will not be in position to protest against
what the Democrats propose to do.
AS for the payment Of the war debt of the
South, and reimbursing the Southern people
for the loss of their slaves, Washburn need
give himself no uneasiness. Patriotic and
honest Democrats have placed bar against
any such proceeding. Such payments are
forbidden by the constitution and hy the

talk with Butler he allayed some of the dis
trust of him by promising to give out the

was then an aspirant for the governorship of
Massachusetts and the Presidency. He re-
garded
JOHN SHERMAN
as the most vital and powerful element in

Sherman agree not to fight him whichever
course he Butler) might take politically.
This Sherman has strictly observed. In a
quiet way Buffers hold upon the treasury
management in Massachusetts has been very
strong. Buffers compact with the New
