An Attempt to, Rs.b IN the Contenn1,tuous
Treatment accorded the Germans By the
Republican Convention.
Pioneer Press-Pillsbury Organ.
We have now no doubt that the Pioneer
Press was in error in giving even hypothet-
ical credit TO the pretence set forth by the
boiling manifesto that its four hundred sign
ers spoke tho sentiments of the German Re-
publicans of the State. We learn, indeed,
from prominent German Republican that
he has recogniz ed over fifty of the names
signed to that document as those of Demo-
Gratis, and in one case of an Irish Democrat.
But we get at the true significance of this
movement by tracing it to its source.
It had its origin mainly in the vexation
of clique of German bankers in
st. Paul interested IN the deposits
of the State treasury, which was aggravated
by their wrath against another German
banker, q Demonstration they supposed,
perhaps with good reason, to have had some
hand in the nomination of Baumbach for
secretary of State, and consequently in the
nomination of Kittelson for State treasurer.
1t is out OF this conflict of selfish private
interests in st. Paul that has arisen all the
childish whining over the defeat of Pfaender.
The German bankers who were interested in
the State deposits happen also to be the
| chief owners of the Tozkszeiteoag, which
sufficiently accounts for the milk in the
cocoanut of that independent journal. 1t
| was they and their stockholders who sent out
the boiling manifesto all over the State for
the signatures of German Republicans, and
| it is, perhaps, not to be wondered at that,
taking advantage of the first flush of German
disappointment, they should have succeeded
in inducing some few German Republicans
and German Democrats to sign the docu-
ment. That they did not get more sigma
lures is tolerably good evidence that they
could not get more, and that the mass of the
German Republicans were too sensible to en-
dorse the preposterous claims set up for them
| in that absurd manifesto. The German Re
publicans of the State at large have no
interest in the private quarrels of German
bankers in St. Paul, and are not likely to be
the dupes of any conspiracy for the advance
| ment of purely local private interests.

Excitement at Memphis.

Memphis was thrown into a fern ent of
excitement tonight by the disclosure of a
death from yellow fever. The deceased was
one Frank Mulbrandon, an Irishman, aged
forty-seven, shoemaker by ira le, and living
at the northeast corner of De Sofa and
Dontotoc streets, in the southern portion of
the city. He was taken sick last Saturday
while at work in his shop at No. 374 Shelby
street, and died to-day at noon. His attend
ing physician, DR.. w. +. Rogers, had treat
ed him for yellow fever, but Knowing the in
tense excitement it would create when pub
llcity would be given this afternoon called in
Drs. X. w. Mitchell, a member Of the Ma
tlonal Board of Health, and late medical
director of the Howard Association G.. b.
Thornton, president of the city Board of
Health; 1. j. Tyner and w. B. VIM, and
proceeded to hold a post-mortem examina-
ton. They all concurred that the deceased
had died from a well developed case of vel
low fever.
MEMPHIS, July 1O.-Five new cases of
yellow fever are reported this morning, and
one death, an infant Of Judge j. f. r. Ray,
of the Criminal Court, who, together with
another son, is Frustrated with the disease.
A perfect stampede of citizens is in pro-
gress, the trains being unable to carry away
hundreds who are ready 30 leave.
The Board of Health this morning issued
the following order:
''To the people of the city of Memphis,
we would say quietly remove your families
to a place of safety, until we can at least see
whether the few cases of yellow fever will
assume an epidemic form. To the people
along the lines of different routes of travel,
we say there can be no possible danger of
infection for many days to come"

go, TIo n,oo& lo - 49, -

but the stampede of the citizens has almost
assumed a panic form. There will not be
care enough to night to carry the people
away.

SHERMAN'S WEAKNESS FOR IITLES.-l
notice the papers say that Gen. Sherman,
who was ordered" to make a tour of the
great lakes, accompanied by a staff officer,
Col. Audenreid, is to go to Canada, and
while there will pay his respects to the Mar
quis of Lorne and the Princess Louise. 1t
is a wonder Gen. Sherman has stood it as
long as he has. 1t is strange that he has
deferred this visit, because in the natural
course of events he would have called on the
Marquis and the Princess a fortnight after
they landed on this continent. Every great
man has his weakness. Sherman is natu-
rally a toady. 1t is his weakness. No man
of his genius ever SO worshipped titles. In
the presence of the Marquis and the Prln-
cess he will bow and scrape and twitch him
self out of Joint, aud those who know Au-
denreid will say that he will not be less i'm
pressed. Next to a general of the army. for
style, give me a staff officer of the general.
Gen. Sherman's new office in the new war
department is just being fitted up. The
whole office is to be gorgeous, as | under
stand. 1t is to rival the navy department in
brilliancy, and yet the navy department is
furnished in the grandest manner. | have
an idea that our public offices are furnished
too magniticently. | heard Gen. Sherman
describe one day a visit to the official quart
ers Of Prime Bismarck. From the de
scription the offices would not do for a mes
senger in Washington. Gen. Sherman said
hit found the old Minister in a large room
without a carpet. Think of that without a
carpet, you twelve hundred dollar clerks,
whose footsteps tread the fowery walks of
Palestine on carpets that cost SIX dollare a
yard in these cheap times, At a coarse pine
table, strewed with books and papers, sat
Bismark in a hard chair. Near him, at a
similar table, was his secretary. No mirrors,
costing hundreds of dollars, no fine paint
ings, no lace curtains. An old pipe was
upon the mantel and the walls were hung
with maps, with the making of which the
old statesman may have had something to
do Washington Correspondef.

DEATH OF WILLIAM ALLEN.-We are
panied to announce the death of this distin-
guished statesman, who has played so large
a part in the political affairs of the State of
Ohio. Gov. Allen was born in Edenton,
North Carolina, about the year 1906, but in
his early youth his parents removed to Linch-
to Ohio, locating near Chillicothe.
Having st .died law, he came to the bar
at an early age and soon took a high stand
among his professional brethren. He served
repeatedly in Congress and in 1887 he was
elected to the Senate of the United States.
where he remained until 1919. He declined
to receive the nomination for President in
1913, because he had been an active sun
porter of Gen. Cass for that nomination. In
1917 he was chosen Governor of Ohio
making one OF the most remarkable cam
paigns that ever occurred In that State.

IS a great acquisition, and as a hog food
cannot be excelled. One hundred bushels
can be raised with less expense than is re-
ouired to produce fifty bushels of corn,
while the hogs have a greater relish tor
chufas, and will gather them as wanted,
without any waste. Nut grass is an aboml-

an impossibility to eradicate it. | would

MAINE.

The first reports from Maine seemed t.
make it clear that there had been no cleo
tior OF Governor by the people, that the
lower house of the Legislature would have
a good Republican msiority, but that the
senate was in doubt 10 the event of the
failure OF any one candidate to receive a
majority over all others, the constitution OF
Maine provides that the Governor shall be
elected by the Legislature: The names OF
two of the candidates voted for shall be
selected by the House of Representatives,
and one of these shall be chosen by the
senate TO be Governor. II the Republi-
cans have failed to carry either
branch of the Legislature they cam
not get their man for Governor !;
if they have failed Of a majority in the
house his name will not be sent to the sem
ate, and if they have failed to carry the Sem
ate that body will not elect him.
But the later reports chow that the Re
publican victory is complete and decisive.
There lie fair prospect that Davis, the
Republican candidate for Governor, will
have = clear majority over all three of his
competitors, and thus be elected by the
people, but in the event OF his falling short
of this he is safe anyhow, for the Republic
cans not only have the lower house by
very large msiori,y, but have alec yearly a
two-third majority in the senate.
The down east Republicans have made a
clean sweep, and have cast q very wet
blanket upon the rising hopes of the
namocrscv
