I he talk of esta Fishing morning Re-
publican paper in this city continues, and
the oaly apparent obstacle to consumma-
ton of this desirable event seems to be how
to dispose of David Blakely and his claims.
David says nobody shall start such a concern
except himself. He has, 80 lie SO 8, the
franchise where its hair is short, and it is
his religious purpose to hold on. He got
good thing in the trade with Wheelock and
Drisco]l when he took charge of their Min
neapolis interests. and since be has got his
bread-claws closed he can see no good rea-
con why lie should unloose hia grip.
There ls no shadow of doubt but what the
Republicans of Minneapolis want first
class morning daily in Minneapolis, neither
IL there any doubt hut that there is an abun-
dance of capital ready for the necessary
slaughter. But then, the men who handle
the money don't Ike to put the necessary
sum to insure tho successful establishment
OF a morning paper into the hands of David.
Now, the GLOBE man cannot understand the
reason of this. Certainly David is not re-
liable man; but that is all the more reason
why he should be regarded as reliable
to his party, though it should
make him false to everybody and everything
else in the world. In fact, the GLOBE con
siders Mr.. Blakely as the very best specimen
of Republican journalist now available to
thrust into the "imminent deadly breach"
He learned all the tricks of the trade while
serving the government as pension agent.
md is as smooth specimen of political
Bcoundrelism as was ever graduated by the
party in powe+, and he is an able pirate, too.
His vocabulary of adjectives is almost as
complete MS that of Joseph himself and
Joseph's, it is known, is as perfect AS that OF
the proverbial fish woman. The weakness
OF the Tribune is not in its lack Of ability,
but in it's moral cowardice. David can lie
for instance, abont St. Paul and
her interests, because he discovers
profit in it in the present excited
state of local public opinion; bnt he cannot
tell the truth about Minneapolis or one OF
our citizens il thereby he would lose
nickel
the very man to run a morning Republican
Minneapolis daily-tbat is paper devoted
exclusively to the interests Of this city and
the Republican party. Such work would he
exactly his size, and he could scream the
eagle and lie at mark on any and every oc.
cason without mouting q feather of his
,ron-clad conscience. Bnt if Minneapolis
wants morning paper which will he broad
gauge. representing the national interests OF
the brightest, livest and most prosperous
community in the Northwest; il they want
n paper which will be All exponent and
nlly Of every great enterprise i'll Minnesots
md the Northwest; if they want
o paper which will strive to unite the inter
ests Of the two leading communities OF the
State, instead of indnlging in vituperation
and slander; then. probably, he is not the
man we are seeking for. David is not cos
mopolitan, but delights in the "pent up
Utica of local and provincial warfare. He
can call fellow a liar WHO lives thousand
Mills away with infinite gusto, but the en-
phasis dwndles as the object of his malice
approaches.
But this is meandering. Probably there
will he no instantaneous morning paper in
one--that is, snch of US as
have not been wise enough
to secure the GLOBE for daily mental pabu.
lum-so sick that even the weak catnip tea
furnished by the E0ening Tribune produces
dispepsia-nnd vet not quite sick enough
to entrust David with the 100000 to start
the longed for iourna'.
Meantime the GLOBE strives to fill the
nching void. 1t is fair to Minneapolis and
her mulifarious interests: aHd no poor,
wandering. abused individual is turned
away from its hospitable columns after having
been bulldozed by the Pioneer Press bully,
or snapped Mt by the Tri6une cur. The
GLOBE will continue to he furnished to sub
scribers at the small price of seventy cents
per month, delivered regularly and
promptly, and it is not quite
clear how the people are going to do without
it until the community has succeeded in
shaking David. and securing the invaluable
services of some man to conduct morning
paper ''on the Minneapolis plan"
Pass in your subscriptions, gentlemen, and
support the only morning paper published
in St. Paul which can be relied upon to treat
Minneapolis with courtesy and fairness.
