Progress of the Miles Case In Utah-Presi-
dent Taylor Declares Himself and Ex-
plains the Miles Marriage.
SALT LAKE, Oct. -30.-In the Miles exami-
n ltion this morning John Taylor, president of
the Mormon church, appeared as witness. He
avowed himself polygamist, that he had
children and grandchildren by poly :amous
marriages; that Miles came to him for advice,
and his story follows: Miles knew Miss
Owens in England. When young he went to
sea as sailor. In Australia he met Mormon
missionary, became member of the church
and went to 81. George, Utah. Previous to
that he had written Miss Owens offering mar
rage. He claimed he had received no reply
II concluded she had accepted him but he
u,.d not received her letter. While at ST.
George. Utah, he had smade marriage en-
ga9ements with two young women. Miles and
the young woman from st. George came to
Salt Lake and met Miss Owens from England,
and asked her advice which, as given. was that
II the three marriages were performed they
must be in the order of ages of young women;
that Miss Owens was not the eldest; that Miss
Owens felt aggrieved with this arrangement,
but it was insisted on the r. lie of the church.
Other testimony shows that the elder Miss
Spencer and Miss Owens were introduced and
acknowledged afterwards as wives of Miles, but
that the younger Spencer sister backed out of
the engagement. The Investigation is still in
progress. The grand jury meets early in No
vember, and will be composed of about an
equal number of Mormons and Gentiles.

MONEY CAMPAIGN.

Washburn thinks that by liberal use of
the money he has stolen from his creditors
and from the farmers he will be able to buy
a seat in Congress. In that belief he is scat
tering money broadcast throughout the dis
trict. Some man in every township has
been "heeled' by portion of the swag,
which he is expected to divide among all who
rings that have cursed Minnesota for the
past fifteen years regards the farmers and
laboring men of the district as so many vot-
ing cattle, who can be bought up at SO much
head. He has announced that he can buy
the Germans and Scandinavians for dollar
apiece, but in exceptional cases he will be
willing to pay more if necessary. He is
trying to corrupt and prostitute judges and
clerks of election to make fraudulent return
of the votes cast. He is bringing voters
from other States and other districts that
they may contribute to overcoming Donnel-
ly's legitimate majority. He worships mon
ey, and cannot conceive how it can fail to
prostitute men from their political fealty, but
yet he sees the tide of public sentiment
sweeping over the country ready 10 engulf
and destroy him on the 9Th of November.
Rendered desperate by the certainty of defeat
in case of an honest election, he has resorted
to the most despicable tricks to achieve sue
cess. He has left fund at all the saloons
in the district which he could reach which is
to be applied to manufacturing votes for
him. He has bought up all the men who
were for sale, and they are now peramt ulat-
ing the country urging his cause and spending
his money. He is making money cam
paign, for such a campaign is his only hope.
The people will not listen to the speakers he
has sent out, nor will they read his lame and
labored defenses of his conduct-of his con-
nection with the pine land ring, with the
milers' ring, or with the Construction
pany ring. He is surrounded with and
interested in more rings tn IN Saturn, and
each of the rings has had for its purpose the
robbery of the people of Minnesota. Grown
rich and arrogant on the plumber he has
wrung from the poor, he has nothing in
sympathy with the common people. He is
an aristocrat without brains, politician
without principle, business man without
common honesty. 70 send him to Congress
would be to commit political suicide. He
is neither representative of the people nor
representative of the business interests of
the district. He is representative only of
himself and family of hungry e-seek-
ers. No man who has sincere desire to
benefit Minnesota will demean himself so
much as to assist in sending him as repre-
sentative of this district to Congress.

,COLONIzING YOrERS.

Bill Washburn processes to be personal
and political friend of Hon. Ehad. G. Pound,
who is now running for Congress on the Re
publican ticket in the Eighth Wisconsin
district. How is he testitying his regard for
MS TREND? In this wise: Bill Washburn is
invading Mr.. Pounds district, and by
promises OF reward or employment is coloniz-
ing as n'any OF Coz. Pounds supporters as
possible in Minnesota. In Washington.
chlsago, Pine, Carlton and St. Louis coun-
ties large numbers of voters have been
colonized from the counties OF Burnett
Polk, Ashland and Douglas in Wisconsin,
and have been gwen employment by Wash
burns gang of wheat and pine land sharks
until after tho election. These men are not
entitled to vote in Minnesota, but they will
be voted for Washburn in defiance of law.
Every vote thus added to Washburn's poll
will have been stolen by him from the vote
of his friend Pound.
The GLOBE has lndisputable evidence that
this thing is being done. A voter has but.
to cross the St. Croix river to pass from
Gov. Pounds district in Wisconsin to the
Third Minnesota district. Many of them
are not known as residents of Wisconsin.
and will be permitted to vote in Minnesota
without challenge. Others, although known
to be disqualified as voters in the Safe will
be permitted to vote for Washburn
by an arrangement with the election
officers. Not less than eight hundred votes
have already thus been stolen from the vote
of Gov. Pound that they may be added to
the vote of Bill Washburn, and moro will
yet be imported before the election on next
tuesday.
These are the means by which Washburn
hopes to foist himself upon the Third dis
trict of Minnesota as representative in
Congress. These are the means by
which he testifes his friendship for
Thad. Pound. gentleman whose shoe
strings he is not worthy to unlatch. But we
can tell Mr.. Washburn that his device will
not succeed. 1t will result inevitably in the
defeat of Mr.. Pound, but it will not place
Bill Washburn in q seat in Congress. All
his devices are being watched closely; his
every movement is recorded in black and
white. IT by such frauds he succeeds in
overcoming Mr.. Donnelly's legitimate and
assured majority in the district (which we
do not believe he will he will find himself
confronted when he applies for seat on the
floor of the House of Representatives by
such an array Of evidence as will make him
glad to pass over the border to sojourn

DONNELLY,s ELEcrION SURE

DONNHLLIe0 ELECl4O0 OOHEs
In spite of the combinations of scoun
drelis,n and cash, the prospect for glorious
cellent. Within the past forty-eight hours
we have received reports from all the more
populous portions Of the district and there
is but one uniform story and that is that
Washburn and the swindling brass kettles
must go. He has undertaken to stem the
torrent with money. but it does not avail.
He buys up the bummers but the people he
cannot reach. His money is not sufficiently
far-reaching to go around.
Wewould urge our friends to see that
every possible legal vote is polied for Mr..
Donnelly. There is popular revolution
abroad and it -hould be made sweeping and
tremendous. There is a revolt against ali
the rings and all the rascals weo are plum
derlng the people and as Washburn stands
as the representative of all of the worst Gle
ments of the rings, he is especially obnoxious.
He is member of the pine land ring and
his organ, tho p. r., says he obtained 10000
acres while Surveyor General.
He is member of the wheat ring, having
an interest in two mills ut Minneapolis and
owning an entire mill at Anoka.
He was enc of the twelve members of the
construction company which bankrupted
the Northern Pacific road by their e1orbitant
Contract for building.
He is a public plunderer ard his every act
is against the people. The people in striking
him down, strike at every thieving ring in
the State. It gives us pleasure to assure our
friends that the unvarying report is that
there is no lukewarmness. but a firm deter
animation to make their blows felt.

Down WITH HOD STR4TT.

Voters in the Second district should avail
themselves of this OPT. rtunity to get rid Of
an incubus. Strait has fastened himself
upon the people of that district like leech,
and after once securing his grip has bought
his continued lease of the Office. He is try
ing to buy it again. He draws on his ma
tional bank, he draws on his stealings from
the insane asylum, he draws on
his robbery of the farmers
by the use of the. swindling
brass kettles, to get money to buy his seat
in Congress. # elected he would be power
less to do his constituency any good. The
House will be overwhelmingly Democratic
and he can render no service. Mr.. Poehler
will have but to ask to obtain favors. He is
man who commands the respect and es-
TEEN of his fellow citizens. He is above
petty ten dollar steals such as have been de-
veloped upon Mr.. Strait
The Second District would be disgraced
by Poehler's defeat. Fortunately there is no
danger. It is only question as to his ma
jority, and we hope il will rise to at least
five thousand.

TILE HcdTE TICKET

In the heat of the Congress onal canvass
we again feel it important to urge that the
Democrats throughout the State do not over
look tier State ticket. They should. even
in strong Republican localities, where there
is no local contest, make point to have
every Democrat at the polls for the State
ticket. This is the way to perfect and keep
up organization and solidfy the party.
The ticket is most unexceptionable. Judge
Mitchell, the nominee for Associate Justice,
is one of the ablest and purest men on IL e
bench. His election would be result OF
which every citizen of Minnesota might vel.
be proud, regardless of his politics..
Capt. Mahlon Black, the candidate TO,
State auditor, is one of natures noblemen-
an honest, competent man. He has prove,
his fitness in the auditors Office of Henne
pin county, where he has made the hes,
officer that county has ever had. He is an
old soldier, aud is entitled to the votes OF
all classes regardless of party. Give him a
bumper.
Dillon OBrien, thepeandidate for Clerk OF
the Supreme Court, is not only sound
Democrat but royal gentleman. His part,
has always had his best services without
money and without price. During the pas,
year he has done the State great service. BE
spent all last winter lecturing in the crowded
cities of the East, in behalf of Minnesota,
and hundreds were added to our population
the present year owing to his faithful and
untiring efforts. All of this was done with
out one dollar of expense to the public, and
the least recognition that can be given for
these valuable services is a vote for him mex,
Tuesday.

The Republicans of Iowa are very much
distressed >ver the complexion of affairs in
that State. They acknowledge that they
made mistake in holding the Congression-
al elections in October, and fear that they
cannot get their voters out in November to

they expect that the Slate will send an en-
tire Democratic delegation to the next Con-

They will not again be betrayed into such a

.ONLY a sIIULL4R 4 AEADn,

II
Mr.. Washburn, shortly after his nomina-
ton for Congress, was asked if he did not
fear that the German and Scandinavian
voters of the district would vote against
him. With significant shrug of his should
ers he made reply: ssHumph! It will cost
only dollar head to keep them straight .
"A dollar head! When we buy cattle. or
sheep, or hogs, we bargain for them at so
much head. In speaking of the German
and Scandinavian voters of the Third dis
trict Bill Washburn speaks of them just as
he does of animals-they are worth only a
dollar head. He thinks they will vote for
him for Congress if they are paid for at the
rate of dollar head-a good deal less than
the market price of the most worthless sheep
to be found in the Northwest. This is Wash
burns estimate of the value of Germans
Swedes, Danes and Norwegians as citizens
they are worth only dollar a head, and can
be purchased at that price. How do our
foreign fellow citizens like being classe
among the purchasable animals of the State,
and worth less than any other-only dollar
head?
This, however, is Washburn's policy. Open
for purchase himself, he thinks all other men
can be bought specially our foreign resi-
dents. He places low estimate upon them.
however. In his opinion they are cheap
sort of voting cattle only worth a
dollar head. He is willing to pay that
amount for their votes and no more.
The Germans and Scandinavians of Min
nesota have done much towards developing
the resources of the State. They have helped
to build our railroads, our warehouses and
our stores; have put the pillow to the prairie
and caused it to bl ,ss om as the rose. They
have raised millions of bushels of wheat, and
out of each bnshel have allowed Wash
burn and his swindling gang OF
wheat buyers with their fraudulent
brass kettles to cheat them out of from five
to twenty-five cents. Washburn now re-
quites them for their consideration by con-
temptuously appraising them as worth only
a dollar head! He insults them by init
mating that their votes are for sale, anG
that he can buy them cheap. How do they
like it? Will they sell out for dollar
head or for any other amount?

THE FIFTH WARD.

It is impossible to too strongly urge
the voters of the Fifth Ward to el9ct
James Smith, Jr., to the Legislature.
He is equal in ability to any man in the
State. No shadow of dishonor or impro-
priety attaches to him, and he is loyal to the
core 10 St. Paul. We are indebted to him
for the Fort Smelling bridge, as is elsewhere
shown. We are indebted to him for pre-
venting the Duluth road from being con-
structed from Anoka to the Lake, instead
of from st. Paul. He is experienced,
able and loyal, and can serve the city as few
men can, and certainly as his opponent can
not.
Mr.. Barden, Mr.. Smiths competitor,
would go to the legislature as the representa-
tive of the wheat ring and of Bill King. He
8 in favor of the swindling brass kettles BE-
cause he is wheat buyer, and if he should
30 to the Legislature, would work against
the people and for the ring. He proved
his disloyalty to st. Paul the present

posing the State fair at st. Paul, while he
exhibited at Kings show. He is man the
