Tho Western Union Decline.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. ]

[Bpecial Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK. Nov. 3.-There was considerable
furry in Wall street yesterday morning on ac-
count of the sudden crushing decline in West
ern Union telegraph stocks. The selling move
ment, which in thirty minutes drove the price
down from sl.o2 to e6115 cents, is said to be
caused by published details regarding the pro-
posed capitalization of stock. It is claimed
that this policy is approved by VIM. Fl. Van
derbilt. Sam Mills and Fl. J. Fowler sold large
lots of Western Union on the decline. Jay
Gould said the decline caused by the Western
Union was wasted or fictitious calls of stock,
but other large operators did not agree with
him. The entire movement of the Western
Union stock is considered the result of sharp
manipulation of rumors.

New Ulm Herald.

There appeared in last weeks issue of the
Herald, very much to our regret, and for
which we wish to disclaim all responsibility,
an article taken from the Marshall Messenqer,
rejecting upon the personal and private
character of Mr. Poehler, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in this district, as well
as upon our German fellow citizens in gem
eral, and upon the Turner'S association in
particular.
We ', have known Mr. Poehler long and
well. Our personal relations with him have
been of the most friendly nature. He is
gentleman whose private character and bust
ness integrity are above suspicion or re-
proach, ana for whom we entertain the most
friendly regard. If this district is to be
represented in Congress by Democrat, we
know no member of that party we would
prefer to him.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga discovery was
brought out here yesterday and telegraphed to
Boston, which may have no little effect upon
Buffers canvass in Massachusetts. It is one of
the closing chapters Of the war and specially
treats of Buffers administration in New Or
leans. On the 18th of December, 1864, an in
vestigating commission was ordered by Presi-
dent Lincoln. Among the witnesses examined
was Mr. Jacob Barker, who testified that he
loaned Gen. Butler 100000 in gold. This was
afterward repaid. The object of SHOWING that
this great sum was loaned was to prove that
Butler speculated in cotton. Mr. B. T. Smith
testified before the commission that he had
resided in New Orleans twenty-five
ested with COL A. G. Butler, brother
Of Ben Butler, in carrying goods across the lake.
consisting OF salt, quinlne, corn, groceries and
liquors. which went mostly into the hands of
the rebels. He received one-third of the profits
Being asked whether Butler knew of this trade
witness replied, yes Sir; told him; he asked me;
and $13, 900 worth went to him.
The witness also stated that Butler said no
more goods could go ont unless cotton was re-
turned. He then detailed that how A. G. But
ler got permits from his brother to send cotton
at profit of 20 per cent Full details are
given of this peculiar contract and the
business.
Another witness, Geo. Hennewell. vessel
owner, testified that Butler compelled him to
sell the steamer Nashua in 1862 for S31 ,316 cur
rent funds, and called it $2S, 600 in greenbacks.
| few days after Butler sold the steamer for
$45, 600 and then chartered it to the govern
ment for $40 per day, while Hennewell had
offered to charter for $40 day.
Some of this testimony would apparently ex-
plain Buffers great wealth.
GIVES IT UP.
Boston, Nov. S-Butler has given up the
| fight, that is to his most intimate friends. He
has to-day admitted very strong fears of his
defeat. His utterances, however, are of the
most boastful character, and his statements
most extraordinary. It is believed, by those
best informed, and they derive their informa.
ton from remarkably thorough canvass
which the Republican State committee com
pleted tonight, that MIR. Talbot's plurality viii
be at least Is. 900. There will probably be nj
majority over all, but in this State pluralit,

Honor Among Thieves.

honor Among There's.
It used to be an old maxim that there was
houor among thieves, but that seems to be
Obsolete now. The advance of the inventive
genius seems to have kept pace in thievery
as well as elsewhere, and the sleight-of hand
performance of the brass kettle trick offers
peculiar inducements for the mountebank to
ply his vocation. A little examination. be-
hind the curtain will reveal the method Of
practicing the trick.
From the best information that can be
had it appears that there is as much No.
wheat sold upon the line of the St. Paul &,
Pacific railroad as there is of No. 2, and i. is
fair presumption that the wheat that grades
No. exceeds ffty-six pounds per
bushel as much as the wheat
that grades No. falls short Of
that weight. Now, if this is the case, if the
No. 2 and No. 8 is all put together it will all
grade No. 2. Now, the millers say they do
not want No. 3 wheat and there is no objec-
ton to any one buying No. 3 wheat if he
does not raise the price above the millers'
regulation. If any one was wicked enough
to have a little private I'M
derstanding with the elevator man
that he would mix those two grades, put it
all together in one bin; by saying few
mystic words it all comes out No. 2.
When the wheat is called for by the Mill
lers' association, their wheat is all taken out
Of this marked bin, and is
nearly all No. 2; but there
is "a lot more of No. in
the bin that the millers did not buy. They
bought the No. 2 wheat and they have got it;
what is left is owned by some person in St.
Paul who comes up here and sells it to the
Millers' association, OF sends it to the Anoka
mill.
Washburn don't know anything about this
St. Paul man. O, no; he, innocent mortal,
sits there as meek as a kitten and sees HIM
self swindled out of ten cents upon half of
all the wheat bought for the Millers' associa.
ton. If you will look over the report of the
purchases of the Millers' association you will
see that most of the wheat purchased by them
is No. 2, but the farmers say that more
than half their wheat grades No. 8.
The millers' agent don't buy the No. 8,
the St. Paul man buys that, the elevator
man makes the proper mixture, and all is
lovely. But it appears to us that it would
be pertinent enquiry for some of ii mill
ers to enquire whom all the No. wheat
goes to. len cents per bushel On
all the wheat bought by the millers
association would be convenient thing to
build great mills and store houses, rail
roads. and very convenient to pay expenses
to Europe: or buy votes in tho Third dis
trict. Who could not take trips up the
Nile at ten cents per bushel on half
of all the wheat bought by the Millers?
Just think Of it. If three million bushels of
No. 3 wheat is raised by mixing to No. 2,
there is at the quotations to-day thirteen
cents per bushel mado on that amount of
wheat, equal to 100000 taken out of the
farmers and put into the pocket of the
Washburns to bride and corrupt the people

Morris Tribune.-Rep.
We have endeavored in Congressional mat
ters to maintain an impartially neutral posi-
ton, but in some instances this has not been
possible, and our position has consequently
been very awkward one. The manner in
which w. D. Washburn obtained his ncmi-
nation, and his connection with the pine
land ring, has rendered it impossible for us
to conscientiously support him, and Mr..
Donnelly's "Greenback'' theory has pre-
vented US from endorsing him. It was but
natural then, that We should sometimes ap-
pear to lean toward one more than the other,
and yet at the same time support neither.
We mako this explanation, deening it due to
our readers and supporters, who may have
heretofore thought that our conduct was
peculiar, and our policy wavering. Outside
of MIR. Donnelly's financial policy we have
nothing against him, but it is against our
conscience and judgment to support any
such theory. Mr.. Washburn's wholesale ex-
penditure of money to obtain the nomina-
ton, the shameful treatment OF DR.. Stewart,
and his connection with the pine land ring,
render it impossible for us to either endorse
or support him. Mr.. Donnelly is much the
ADLER man, and we think will be elected.
This we would be pleased to see, if for no
other reason than fitting rebuke to Wash
burn and the shameless tricksters who
bought his nomination.

Major Strait, of this Congressional district, az

former campaign of 1876 was characterized by
petty meanness and conduct unbecoming cui-
tnred man. His election was secured BY fraud
of the baseet kind.
Each postmaster received a package OF stick
ers with his name printed thereon. His whis-
ky and beer flowed freely where it weuld do
the most good. And to-day his mercenaries

plish by base means what intelligence and
morality cannot sanction. Oh, Americans, we

the will of the people. It is the fraudulent
manner in which Mr.. Washburn obtained his
nomination, and his itching after this posi-
ton that we object to, and not any feeling
against the man personally. We believe, too,
that defeat now would strengthen the party

PittinG st. Paul Against Minneapolis.
We are not SUI prised to find the St. Paul
GLOBE carrying its raid against the Millers'
association of Minneapolis into the local
politics of st. Paul, and raising the black
flag of "Down with Minneapolis" and ap-
pealing to st. Paul citizens to vote against
Washburn on local grounds. This is the
legitimate and logical conclusion of TIE
original Hodges attack upon the Millers'
association of this city. All through the
campaign the GLOBE has constantly urged
the people of st. Paul to vote against STAN
ford Newell, q candidate for Senator in one
of the Legislative districts, because he once
alton of man who ever lived in Mime
apolis was an s'lnsult to st. Paul. Yester-
days GLOBE says of Newell:
Sanford Newell, the kid gloved youth from
Minneapolis, could not represent st. Paul if
elected. because all his interests are in Mime
apolis. Vote for Reaney.
The GLOBE also calls the nomination of
r. Barden, of st. Paul, to the legislature as
another "insult to st. Paul. because '.Bar-
den took some of his stock up to the Min
neapolis fair to be exhibited" Nominating
man to go to the legislature from St.
Paul who would dare to perpetrate such
an outrage is considered reason enough
by the GLOBE for defeating him ct the
polls
Worse still, the GLOBE OF yesterday
quotes column of lying "rumors'' to the
effect that Washburn will use his position
in Congress to promote tho interests of
Minneapolis as against those of st. Paul.
Among these rumors are, that che would
make it condition of his support of the
Northern Pacific in securing the legislation
which they must have to retain their grant
that the line on the west side of the river
should be built, and that the Northern Pa
cific should terminate at Minneapolis and
| remove the Offices from st. Paul to that CITY,"
! Also, that he 'would not consent to improve
the river below st. Paul unless million OF
moro were secured to make navigation from
| st. Paul to the Falls OF ST. Anthony" Also,
that 'sthe Minneapolis Il st. Louis road, of
which MIR. Washburn is president, is seeking
| by lease or otherwise to obtain control of
the st. Paul & Duluth road and remove the
terminus of that line to Minneapolis -
| These are the detestable local appeals by
which Donnelly's organ hopes to array the
| solid vote of St. Paul against Gen. Wash
burn because he is Minneapolis man. In
fact, the whole Donnelly campaign has for
its basis the purpose to destroy the business
of Minneapolis, ssMake St. Paul the grain
centre of this REGION (see GLOBE Of Oct.
2o) and deprive Minneapolis of all political
representation besides. How do the people
OF Minneapolis, whether they be Republ-
cans or Democrats, like this part of tie
Donnelly programme?
