proposed commercial troaty Of reciprocity
between France and tho United States.
During TINT timo ho Inns visited MI the rrih-

tion Of tho California people, the project has
beon received. with considerable favor. al.
all events, he regards hia mission ns SUCCESS;

which includes several mon Of prominent

which hns no authority, SO far rs wo
know, from Tho Government The project
which these gentlemen aro agitating
contomplntes n reciprocal reduction In
the tariffs Of the two countries upon m
agreed basis, with view to eularging tho
lrado between tho two countries. The trade
between the United States aud Franco Is
small rs compared with the trade between
the unitsd 6satos aud Great Britain. OF tho
American exports for tho fiscal year onding

country goods Of tho value Of $107, 200, GIT,
while Franco sont only $48,B77, 3d. Great
Dri.ain takes ncasly eighteen timos as much
of the American breadstuifs as Franco takes;
tho French, according to II. CuorrEAu, draw
more largely in this liuo from Rusaia, Tur-
koy, Italy, and Algeria than would DO the
case under fairer commercial relations with
this country.
We homo Ii. CnorTaAu may havo con-

DIsGRUNTLED REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans were thrown into state
of great excitement by the rumor that the
Democrats had arranged to capture the or
ganization of the Senate and defeat the NOM
inees of the Republican caucus Monday
night. AS there were but twenty Senators
in the Republican caucus, and twenty lone
were necessary to elect, the rumor seemed to
have solid foundation. The Republicans
counted their strength as twenty three, but
to do this they included Brown, of Douglas,
who was elected in opposition to the Repub-
lican nominee, and Williams, of Waseca,
Prohibitionist, who also defeated
the Republican nominee. These two men,
on whom the Republicans have no possible
party claim, and Senator Helling, were
absent from the caucus. The Democratic
Senators number sixteen. Two Greenback
Senators, with the three named above, added
to the sixteen, gave the requisite number
twenty one-to organize the Senate. The
absence of the three was ominous, but not
necessarily fatal. The Republicans, seeing
defeat was possible, became terribly fright
ened, and, as the sequel proved, were unduly
anxious. The actual fact was that Messrs.
Brown, Helling and Williams proposed
to maintain their independence by standing
aloof from all party alliances. They did
not attend either the Democratic or Repub-
ican caucuses ano, voted indiscriminately in
the open Senate.
The result was that the Republican nom
inees for Enrolling and Engrossing Clerk
were defeated and the remainder of the Re-
publican slate elected. This fact demon
strated that coalition might have been
formed, which would have been successful
throughout. That it was not, was, of course,
no fault of the Democrats. Inasmuch as
those who absented themselves from the Re-
publican caucus were exercising their indie
pendence, they made a great mistake that
they did not make formal al
lance with the Democrats. They
would then have gained victory, which
would have covered multitude of sins,
though in fact it can scarcely be called a sin
if q Republican who was elected in opposi-
ton to the regular Republican ticket de-
clines to recognize party allegiance. They
might have made point but they didn't.
To sum it up briefly, the Republicans re-
ceived tremendous fright and some de-
moralization, while the Democrats gained
little more than amusement and demonstrate
ed that their turn nay come.

THINKS.

For the second time the City Council of
st. Paul have testified their appreciation of
and confidence in the GLoEE by choosing
this paper as the 'oficial paper of the city"
For this mark of esteem the GLOBE tenders
its hearty thanks While the pecuniary fea-
ture is no inconsiderable matter, it is still
more agreeable to feel that the GLOBE stands
recognized and acknowledged as thoroughly
loyal to the city Of st. Paul. The action of
the City Council, yesterday, is an additional
incentive to labor for the advancement of
the metropolis of the new Northwest, and
we can assure the friends who so kindly and
practically endorsed the GLOBE that we shall
endeavor to SO conduct this paper, that they
will never have reason to regret, even for a
moment, their selection of an official repre-
sentative newspaper.

of the counties composing said district, and es-
pecially in the counties of Becker, Stevens,
Sherburne, Mile Laos and Otter Tail, said con-
testant used fraudulent practices, bribery and
corrupt means, and made corrupt promises OF
reward of official position and other govern
mental patronage, contrary to the public well
fare and interests, to obtain votes for himself
at said election, and did induce many of the
voters of said district by such corrupt methods
to vote for him who would otherwise have
voted for respondent, whereby respondent was
deprived of many votes which, had it not been
for such corrupt practices of said contestant,
would have been cast for him. to wit: Five
hundred of such votes, all of which respondent
will prove on this contest, and will demand
that such votes so cast for said contestant shall
be deducted from the sum of the votes counted
for him.
Wherefore respondent prays that said con-
testant may take nothing by his said contest
and that the same may be dismissed and that
respondent may hold and retain his seat IN
