WILL you NOT DO NE THE FAVOR

WILL you NOT DO ME THE FAVOR.
When Gen. Sanborn's abject card begging
for votes appeared Sunday morning we
supposed the climax had been reached, but!
this proves to have been mistake. There
were other and lower depths to be sounded.
The GLOBE has repeatedly stated that
Gen. Sanborn did not propose to discharge
the duties of city attorney if elected, but
that he stated it would "help those about
him. AS 'sthose about him. refers to his
nephew, Walter, we were prepared to see the
following circular:
ST.. PAUL, Mimi. May 5. 1S79.--Dear Sir
Will you not do me the favor to go to your
polls next Tuesday and vote for Gen. John s.
Sanborn for city attorney?
Can you not also persuade your friends to do
likewise?
If you could spend the day or part of it, on
Tuesday, at the polls working for him, or in
sending voters for him at the polls should
be greatly obliged to you.
Yours respectfully, WALTER II. SANBonN.
If any confirmation was needed of the
GLOBE charge that Gen. Sanborn was simply
proxy for his nephew, it is proven in the
| above circular. Why should the nephew of
his uncle make this pitiable plea? His uncle
was resident of st. Paul when he CWalter)
was in his swaddling clothes, and certainly
needs no introduction from such a source.
This humiliating circular was accompanied
by g1mmed slip containing Gen. Sanborn's
name, designed to be pasted on the tickets
over the name of his competitor. It shows
that it is simply game to give an office to
the youthful Walter, who being an alderman
| is disqualified from holding it directly.

The people of st. Paul are indebted to w.
p. Murray, for the fact that the capital was
not long since removed. He was enabled to
prevent the removal scheme while in the leg
islature, and but for his aid all efforts to
thwart it would have been of no avail. He
also secured the location of the State Reform
School at st. Paul. TO enumerate what he
has done for the city would require too
much space. He has never taken advantage
of his public position to make money, and
is to-day poor man. His oppo-
nent is rolling in wealth. While
Murray was protecting St. Paul, Sanborn
was prosecuting war claims in Washington
and making an independent fortune annu
ally. The people of st. Paul, irrespective
of party, should manifest their gratitude to
wards Mr.. Murray by giving him tremen
dous majority For city attorney to-day.

THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION.

st. PassI's Reputation and Relative Ednca-
tiOnat advantages to Go on Record To-
DaU Before tie Country.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In conversation yesterday with a promi-
nent Democrat, who has devoted himself to
the upbuilding of st. Paul and has support
ed every public measure conditioning its
growth and good name, he remarked "under
the circumstances, every man loyal TO the
city ought to favor the project" This is in
brief the whole argument. With Mime
apolis about to open her splendid High
school and every prominent city east and
west possessing one, we can't afford to put
st. Paul publicly on record as dispensing
with that by us much needed eaifce. Your
correspondent yesterday, opposing it, can
not prove his assertion that such cities are
sorry they have High school buildings. Not
one is there that has voted to do without it,
not one has failed to get vote in favor of
building the same. Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, etc., have added to their original
number. For St. Paul to publish to the
world its purpose to have none, as it will if
it votes in the negative on the question to-
day, would give the country the idea that it
must be crude, ignorant misgoverned
place. No city has yet ventured to incur
| such a stigma as that vote would infiict.
| Now the question is not as to the merits of
| the system, but whether we can vote
down what every first class city
has thus far deemed a necessity. The ap
| peal to-day is one based on expediency. We
compromise the fame of the city, and injure
our standing, and damage our prospects with
those looking for a home in this State, if we
vote down the proposition to house appro-
priately a High school, which already exists.
Let men think how the thing will look
abroad, before they put the city in the ex-
ceptionable and unenviable position of
i opposing an institution all our rivals now
have. Furthermore, one other objection of
your correspondent against the High school,
is that the latter benefits only the rich, is ut
terly false. The statistics of the St. Pau!
schools show the great majority of scholars
| to be children of mechanics, policemen, la.
borers and merchants. The wage class are
in all our cities most benefited by Higt
schools, and that is why they have been sc
l popular. The workingmen of st. Paul have
the chief interest in having our new High
school building, they will have the none,
i expended in erecting it, and their children
will here, as elsewhere, constitute the grea
proportion in attendance.
The people want this building. The tax
, payers who oppose it are those who nov
} send their children to private schools. It
the working men, who cannot afford to d.
this, who need this school, and they will b
losers in more ways than one if they do no
vote to day to secure it. CITIZEN.

The special cable dispatch in yesterdays
GLOBE represents the condition of affairs in
Russia as truly deplOrable. The country is
full of secret societies with revolutionary
purposes, some of them working at cross
purposes and continually betraying the others.
Arrests are being made constantly, and the
punishments are represented to be extreme
and remarkable for their cruelty. All Eu-
rope seems to be agreed that this state of
affairs cannot last long without an open rup-
ture. When that rupture comes the Roman
off dynasty may as we'll make up their minds

THE CITY ATTORNEY.

The defeat of w. P. Murray for. the. City
Attorneyship, if it we're possible, would be a
public calamity. He has made most eff
Gent and competent officer, and he has local
matters now pending which it is of vital con-
sequence he should remain to complete. His
great familiarity with city affairs makes him
able to serve the city as no other man can.
Gen. Sanborn, even though endorsed
by "ME" nephew Walter), cannot
for moment compare with Mr..
Murray for efficiency. There is no
man in st. Paul who has given the affairs of
the city such study as has Mr.. Murray. A
residence of thirty years, during all of which
time he has given much attention to the city
government, places him without rival. The
city needs and must retain ais services.

MURDER TRIAL IN LIE suEuR co.
perY Light Verdict for Mr.. George
S0Ufer.

peru Light Eerdtcc for M. George
SGyler.
Correspondence of the Globe.
LIE SUEUR CENTER, May 8, 1879.-The trial
of George Sayler, charged with the murder
of Joseph Sauter, at Heidelberg, in this
county, on the 18th of October last, ter
minated yesterday by the jury rendering
verdict of manslaughter in the second de-
gree. BY the verdict, the jury must have
come to the conclusion that the shooting was
done without q premeditated design to effect
the death of Sauter. The court Judge Mac
Donald) in passing sentence, said that the
jury had by their verdict shown the defend
ant all the mercy he had right to expect
from the law, and sentenced him to be con-
fined at hard labor in the State prison for
seven years; that being the extreme penalty
OF the law for the crime of which he was
found guilty. The general opinion land evil
IDENTIFY that OF the COURT is that the jury were
exceedingly lenient to the prisoner.
The facts of the killing, briefly stated, are,
that the defendant and deceased met in a sa-
loon and quarreled, when they came to blows
and clinched; that the son of deceased, boy
of 18, assisted his father in throwing down
the defendant; that while down this boy
struck defendant on the head, twice, with q
beer glass, but that deceased merely held him
down; that after being let up defendant,
placing his hand in his breast pocket, asked
the crowd, "Who struck me the last blow2''
and spectator named Bartel answered
'Sauter." when defendant instantly drew his
revolver and shot deceased.
The prosecution claimed that the fact of
his making this inquiry, and shooting the
person named, showed deliberation of mind
enough to make it murder in the
first degree; while the defense claimed it tc
have been done in the heat of passion, upon
sudden provocation, and therefore man
slaughter in the second degree: and the Jury
so found.
The prosecution was conducted by Attor
ney General Wilson and County Attorne,
Emery, and the defense by Hon. M. j. Sew
erance and H. J. Peck, Esq. The CLOSING
plea of Mr.. Severance was one of his splen
did efforts, and contributed largely to tn
mitigation of the offense in the eyes of tn,
jury. The charge of Judge Macdonald t
the jury was very c ear and able exposition
of the law of homicide applicable to tn
case, and it was so evidently fair and correc
that not single exception was taken to
) by the counsel. OCCASIONAL.

man. Little financial ability was required;
indeed it may in truth be said that the loan
funded itself But however this may be,
Mr.. Sherman has claimed the credit for
superior financial sagacity, and during the
coming campaign for the goverrorship of
s'the pivotal State'' this credit will be exag
gerated until the fortunate secretary will be
almost dsifed by his enthusiastic partisan
supporters.
1t is very evident from this move on the
part of Mr.. Sherman that he is about to &C
lively enter the lists for the Presidential
nomination in 1880. If he succeeds in car
rying Ohio in October, he will not only be
possibility but probability in the Republi-
can national convention. He no doubt
thinks-ard correctly, too that the Grant
wave will have spent its force long before
the convention meets. He will also expect
and will no doubt receive the cordial support
of the money kings of New York, to whom
he has been SO kind during the funding OPP
erations. It will therefore be seen that his
strength as a candidate for the Presidency is

probably throw the weight of the federal
patronage into the scales in his favor. His
| conduct in Louisiana will weaken him among
the more honest portion of his party, for in
those transactions he betrayed woful lack
of moral principle, and was guilty of the
most shameless subornation of perjury and
political prostitution. With Grant out OF
the way, however, he will have but little op.
position in the convention. Blaine has 8
few ardent friends, but is weaker to-day
than he has been at any time within the pas
four years. A sunstroke or fit of apoplexJ

revive his waning popularity. Conkling i!

George Francis Train seem to have ahdicatet
their claims to the highest Office in the gif
:: of the people. It may therefore be safel
, predicted that either Sherman or Grant vii
r carry off the honor of the Republican nom
nation, with the odds in favor of the for

| too soon, and the chances are that by tn
. time the convention meets it will be nothin
but slight ripple on the surface of the Sc
of politics.
