1t was heralded throughout the city by
Washburn's organs that Senator Mcmillan
would address the faithful in Music Hall last
evening, and on Saturday morning the city was
flooded with dodgers announcing the import
ant fact and calling for grand rally. At half
past six the more eloquent appeal OF the Great
Western band was added, and large concoulse
of people flooded the street in front of the
hall. The band ceased its delightful
strains and the people dispersed. some
to see the inimitable Ovens and others
to hear Dewitt the Fenian, but few found their
way into Music hall. With all the frantic
efforts made to gather them in" there were
but forty-three by actual count when W. n.
Sanborn stepped timidly upon the platform
and asked the few scattered men and boys to
get close together and draw near the front. He
announced Senator Mcmillan. That gentleman
modestly declined to get upon the platform,
bat stood In the aisle and delivered his cut and
Dried speech. The important issue of the day
was, he said, the financial one.
Usually any but Presidential
election was not important, but this was an
exception. There was great fear that the Re-
publican party would be driven from power
1t appeared from his premises that he had
widely different opinion or knowledge of the
financial policies of the political parties from
that held by Windom-there were only two
phases (Windom said fve.) He attributed the
hard times and panics and riots-and it is q
wonder he did not.include the yellow fever
to the war and Jay Gould. The speaker ranted
and tore and sawed the air, swayed his long
length this way and that, yelled and screamed
like fanatic at campmeeting, saying all the
Republican party needed was to be let alone.
AT times he would turn his back to the little
slim audience and bray to the wall to hide the
bushes which consciousness drove to his face
as he uttered his puerile twadde about ma
tional banks being more secure than the gov
eminent. That the government had invented
the grand scheme of the national bank cur
rency to release itself Of its responsibility.
The government can't bear the burthen, he
said, but the national banks can. If yelling
be eloquence, then Mcmillan made
a grand effort to edify the benches.
AS the address progressed the audience fuc-
tuated and at one time there were actually as
many as sixty-seven persons present, including
boys He concluded his Grafton before this

Wdshbu9'n's Boast That He Can Bug the
Foreigners Indignantly Repealed.
10 the Editor of the Globe.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 1, 1851
noticed in to-day's GLOBE the fact that Mr..
Washburn had stated he could buy the Ger
man and Scandinavian votes of this district
at the rate of ga dollar heads Now if Mr..
Washburn and his clique think that we, the
German voters of this district, can be bought
and sold like so many sheep and pigs, he is
very much mistaken. He must not think
that because we are foreigners our votes can
be bought and sold at the rate of ga dollar a
head" No sir! We are free to vote for
whom we please, and we will show Mr..
Washburn next Tuesday that Germans and
Scandinavians are just as honorable as any
American. We will show him that if he can
run the wheat ring, pine ring, and the
swindling brass kettle, he can't run the
Germans and Scazadsnuvians of the THIRD
district, A GERMAN.

nesota, be requested to procure such amend
ments to the bill as shall provide
that the bridge, when constructed.
shall have clsar span over the main channel
of at least two hundred feet, and that the
height of the bridge in the clear shall be at
least seventy feet above high water mark.
AS this enterprise is one IN which the
Fourth ward is greatly interested, it has
been argued that if Mr.. Washburn was
elected and received such resolutions from
his city council he would obey them, but
nothing of this kind has appeared in the
GLOBE, and is only printed now in self-de-
Tense and as the best possible answer to the
black fag'' argument of Bill King.
Washburn's threat, when it was known
that Hayes was about to visit the State fair
at st. Paul, to prevent the President from
coming to Minnesota if he did not 90 to
Minneapolis; his business mems excursions
to and from Albert Lea, without solitary
representative Of the commercial center of
the State being invited, are cited, privately,
as evidence that the present honied words
are mere anti-election promises. If the
GLOBE wished to be unfair, if it wished to
excite local prejudice, it might cite thou
sand things to create passion, but it does
not.
The GLOBE raises no "black flag" appeals
to no local prejudice. It is extremely I'M
fortunate both for Mr.. Washburn and the
harmony of the two cities, that Bill King
should make threats which would lead peo-
pie in st. Paul to suppose Washburn is
the narrow man some claim him
to be. The GLOBE places its
opposition to Mr.. Washburn on higher
grounds. 1t opposes Mr.. Washburn BE-
cause he is unfit for the place, because he
is the representative of all the thieving rings
which curse the State; because he is politi-
cally, personally and morally wrong.
Mr.. Donnelly is rot resident of either
city. Heis not champion of St. Paul or
Minneapolis. He will treat DO tn fairly, his
desire being to serve his constituency. He
will be a representative of the entire district
and the whole State. The narrow limits of
st. Paul or Minneapolis will not
circumscribe him. If for no
other reason than this we should
deprecate making a local issue. In fact
local issue cannot be made in St. Paul. It
must be left to Bill King and his CONDUCTORS
raise the "black flag" The GLOBE OPP
poses MIR. Washburn strongly, but it will
not allow itself to be dragged into the kind of
opposition which is threatened at Mime
apolis. We leave that to those narrow
minded persons who cannot see beyond the
corporate limits of their local bailiwick.

the.
To the Editor Of the Globe.
Allow me the privilege of saying. through
your columns, in reply to an article in the
Pioneer Press of to-day, about Hon. l.. B.
Hodges, that it entirely mistakes and mis-
states the character of that gentleman. I
have known him for years, and in every posi-
ton he has occupied he has labored faith
fully to promote the interests of his employ
ers. While he was Senator from Olmsted
county, every local interest of that county
received his prompt and efficient attention,
and even his political opponents were free
to acknowledge that he was faithful, intel
ligent and efficient representative of the
county, more so than almost any other per-
son who has represented that county in
either branch of the Legislature. The peo-
pie of this city may safely rely upon it that
their interests will be safe in Mr.. Hodges
keeping. A CITIZEN.

COUNTY AUDITOR.
8. Lee Davis the Right Man In the Right
Place.

9. Lee Davis the Right Man IN the Right
Place.
To the Editor Of the Globe.
Allow an old citizen and free-holder
to say few words in favor of the reelection
of MIR. S. Lee Davis, the present incumbent
of The Office of county auditor. In the first
place, Mr.. Davis, the present efficient auditor
of Ramsey county, and Democratic nominee
for reelection, is represented on all sides to
be the most popular candidate of the two
candidates nominated. His opponents are
attempting to prejudice the minds of the
voters by advancing arguments Of very
weak nature. They content that Mr.. Davis
has served long enough in that capacity, and
should give some one else chance. They
have no other reason to present. They can
not charge Mr.. Davis with being disl, yal to
his trusts OF of neglecting his business as
county official. He has clear record, is
one Of the Understanding Democrats in the
party, IS reliable. careful of the
important trusts confided to him, and
courteous and obliging. In the latter
respect it is universally admitted by the
lawyers and business men having to visit
the auditors Office that never before was
the work of the Office, SO systematically
and satisfactorily conducted, as during MI.
Davis administration. Therefore, there is
an anxiety that he should be retained in the
position, and his friends claim that the vote
on the 9Th Of November will show him, az
he is virtually admitted to be, the most
popular and competent for the Office. His
past career having demonstrated his eminent
fitness for the position, would it not be bet
ter to retain him in that capacity? He has
been tried and found not wanting. He is
undoubtedly the right man in the right place.
He has always obtained the nomination of
his party by fair and honorable means,
which was fully developed by his nomina-
ton unanimously the last time, and let the
party and his friends outside OF party lines,
see to it, that he is his own successor. Per-
anti me to add further that Mr.. Davis
has always been a true, warm friend Of the
workingnen, who should, to & man, step up
to the ballot box on the 9TH of November,
and assist to swell his vote for the position
he seeks to fill. Not only will he receive
strong support from the laboring classes,
but the business men and merchants are
pretty we'll united in his favor. His friends
claim that be should be entitled to the Of
fee one more tenn at least. A LIBERAL.

interest, when held by country people at all,
would be held almoet exclusively by those
who are not liable to need sudden supply
of legal tenders in any time of pressure.
Such bonds would be mainly held in the chief
financial cities, where money is now loaned IN
large amounts on call. In case of any sudden
demand for more currency, the city operators
would get it, because they would have the
bonds, and then they would charge the needy
countrymen for the use of the money, pre-
cisely as they do now. Neither that system
nor any other, except the one created by the
National Banking Act tends in any degree to

ness and knowing its needs, the amount OF

nIrp uE1YY EXPORTg.

The returns of foreign commerce in july
as published by the Bureau of Statistics, show
a remarkable increase in the favorable bal
ance OF trade, even in comparison with the
then unexampled returns for July, 1871
Last year, the excess of exports over imports
of merchandise was The largest ever known
But the midsummer is usually the season of
excess of imports, and in July, 1877, the mer-
chandise imports exceeded exports of dOmes-
tic produce by $2,416,O71. In July, 1878,
on the other hand, the excess of merchandise
exports over imports was so, 625,074. Seven
months of the calendar year 1877 gave an
excess of exports amounting to $50, 4SO,342 !;
but seven months of 1878 give an excess of
exports amounting to 6G,24A293. The
change has been mainly due to an increase OF
So, 100000 in merchandise exports, though
there was also decrease of $47,OOO,OOO IN
imports, and the latter, being a reduction OF
nearly 10 per cent in value, cannot be ex-
planned by the moderate decline III prices
abroad during the past year. In fact there
has been a material decrease in quantl-
ties imported of many important articles
The imports at New-Yorl during the month
OF August, 1878, were larger by nearly
S1,0O0,000 than in the same month last year,
but the produce exports were larger by
So, TOO, OO0 80 that the change thus far visl-
bic has been an increase of about 1913, 800
600 in the favorable balance as compared
with the unprecedented returns of 1877.
The specie movement has been not less re-
markable. Daring July, 1877, we exported
more specie than we imported by T3,475,75 !;
in July, 1873 we imported more than we ex-
ported by 1901, 02j. In seven months OF last
year, the excess of exports over imports OF
specie was $25, 044,912 IN seven months OF
1878, the excess of exports has been only
1901 ,O55 The New-York returns for August
show that exports of specie from this
port were but $23l,000 larger than
those of last year, while the imports
here have increased much more largely.
Practically, the country has sent abroad no
specie this year. and il has paid debts abroad
amounting to $l7O,OOO,OOO or more by the
sale of its surplus products.
OF the chief cities, Boston ranked next to
Now-Yorly in exports during July, with S4164,-
G25, Baltimore following with $4,0l3,54I
then Philadelphia with So. 6S5, 200, and then
san Francisco with S1,555, l70. As to inn
ports during that month, San Francisco ranked
next to New-York, with $3,91S,990, Boston
next with $3,49S, 1O4, while the imports at
Philadelphia were only $2,O95,974 in value,
and at Baltimore only $685. 1888. This city
still retains its accustomed proportion of the
aggregate foreign commerce of the country
during the Summer, and its supremacy is only
thrcatcned-if threatened Mt all-during the
months of closed navigation by lake and
canal.
