On the 22d of October, 1873, the district
court of Ramsey county decided that the
law requiring ballots to be numbered was
unconstitutional. The three judges concur
red, but the decision was rendered by Judge
Brill, Republican. Washburn's organ in
famously attempts to discredit this decision
by saying it was given by Democratic
judge, which is falsehood. When lower
court decides'th given law is unconstltu-
tional that decision renders the law inopera-
tive until it is renewed, and the public officer
who refuses to obey the decision does SO al
his peril. In this case the supreme court of
the State on the 25th of June, 1879, decid-
ed to sustain the lower court. The judges
were all Republican and no partisan motive
can be alleged. To defy the first decision
was no more than to defy the last. The
judges of election of Minneapolis still have
the right to number ballots if they had that
right in 1873.

FRAUDULENT NEWsPApER.

1t is rare that so great fraud is inflicted on
the public as that perpetrated by the Pioneer
Press in its report of the Parnell-Dilion meet

ParnelPs effort entirely, but at the close in

was delivered at st. Paul and t he other half Mt
Minneapolis, and the p. p. kindly links them
together. The fact was that neither the speech
in question or any portion of it was delivered
in either city by MIR. Parnell. The bogus re-
port was cut bodily from the Chicago Tribune,
and was the speech delivered in that city. The
p. p. perpetrated this shameless fraud,
thinking that st. Paul readers who
might notice that the speech was not

House would think that the unrecognized por-
ton was delivered at Minneapolis, and the
Minneapolis reader would think the same

The GLOBE was represented by short

ed. They were not repetition of their Chica.

Railroading up North.

The snow storm which visited this section
yesterday afternoon was general in the State
to the south and southwest and as far north
as Willmar. From Breckenridge north
along the line of the st. Vincent division of
the st. Paul & Manitoba railroad, the cold
was severe with the wind blowing gale,
drifting the old snow badly. and necessitat-
ing suspension of trains during the day.
At nightfall the wind had moderated, and
the road will probably be re-opened to-day.
Reports from the Dakota division OF the
Northern Pacific yesterday were rather more
charming. No new snow fell during Inc
day, while the wind was quiet, with falling
temperature. The passenger train laying at
Jamestown for several days past, succeeded
in getting through to Fargo during the day.
At the same time the force of seventy men
with seven engines, snow pillow, etc, engaged
in opening the road, started west from
jamestown, and were making fair progress
at last reports. This side of Fargo the road
is all right, all trains running on schedule
time.

4 STUPID NATION,

Congressman Hill, of Ohio, is evidently
He has offered resolution directing the COM
mittee on commerce to inquire into the
cause of the present grain blockade-wheth-
er it was combination of grain spectators
to advance the price of grain, and what leg
islation is necessary to prevent any such COM
bination from future operations"
correspondent writing of this says:
1t is common rumor in Washington that Jim
Keene is the king of the grain ring, and is re-
sponsible for the holding of thousands of idle
ships in the harbor of New York, waiting for
an advance in prices, rather than sell at quot
able figures, notwithstanding the foreign de-
mand.
This is about as stupid as anything which
could be imagined. Suppose Jim Keene or
any other Spectator do buy up the grain and
hold it for higher prices, is it not their priv
ilege? England has been making
her own prices for our wheat for
years, and we have thrown it
at her for song without attempting to
make figure Of our own. AL at once a
party of capitalists buy up the wheat, ad-
vance the price of it fifty cents bushe
above previous rates, and say to consumers
abroad, you can have this by paying what zoe
ask, not what you offer.
The wealth of this country lies in the
value of the productions of the soil. A gang
of spectators, SO called, advance the price of
wheat from eighty cents to $1.25 and there
by put millions of dollars in the pockets Of
farmers, For this heinous offence they are
being abused and investigated. Con-
gress ought to pass resolution
thanking Jim Keene and his as
sociates for distributing millions of
of.dolIars through the country III excess of for
mer prices for our products. Surprising there
is glut and warehouses are full and ships
idle, is it not the privilege of the man who
has bought and paid for the wheat to de-
tarmine when and now he will SSH Assume
if you like that the farmer does not find so
active demand for his grain, he can always
sell on the instant at trifle under the mar
ket value. And if he does, he will still be
receiving over forty cents above the price he
could realize before this ring of conspirators
took hold. Our only fear is that the specu-
'lators will weary in well doing and change
their tactics.

tion ia asinina in the eytrema

MR. EDMUNDS, BOON,

The Hon. George F. Edmunds has fairly
launched himself upon the high seas as a
candidate for the Presidency. The conven-
ton of Republicans in his native State,
Vermont, has declared that he, above all
others, is entitled to the nomination of the
party for the highest Office in the gift of the
people. He is therefore before the public
on the issues raised by his friends. But
these issues are SO ludicrous that they will
provoke an involuntary smile all over the
country. That we may not be accused of
misrepresenting Mr.. Edmunds or the frac-
ton of the party which has chosen him as
its fittest representative, We reproduce the
principal resolution adopted at the conven-
Resolved, That the developments of the past
four years. in disclosures of plots to subvert
the choice of the people in the election of Presi-
dent by bribery of electors, in the partical over
throw of popular government in two States of
the Union, by terrorism and ballot box frauds
and in the recent desperate attempt to steal the
State government of Maine as part of scheme

alarm on tue part Oh the iflenos OF republican

patriotic people should resist these tendencies

demnation on such practices by voting at the
polls.
We undertake to say that there is no ex-
ample of cheek in the political history of
this country that will compare with that ex-
hibited in the resolution quoted. The lar
ceny of the Presidential Office by the Repub-
lican party has been universally admitted,
yet the supporters of Mr.. Edmunds have the
effrontery to allege that the Democrats
sought to subvert the will of the people in
that emergency. The only frauds upon the

A RINGING LETTER.

The Hayes Fraud and Other Iniquities
Cramnsed Dotcn the Republican Throat.
To tho Editor of the Pioneer Press:
object to yos9report of my position on
the Donnelly- Washburn contest. You have
drawn your differences instead of giving my
language, and have given coloring not
warranted by the words used. did not say
that it was not right to give Donnelly Wash
burns seat; nor did say that Donnelly
ought to be forced into it. My language was
hypothetical, and my argument the "argu-
mentum and hominem." 1 told you that if
the Minneapolis ballots were numbered and
the supreme court had decided such ballots
illegal (Which you admit,) Washburn's Min
neapolis vote was illegal and void. You re-
piled that the decision had not been
made when the vote was cast. 1 answered
that the decision was nevertheless fatal to
those ballots, having retrospective effect. l
stated that was opposed to disfranchising
the people upon mere technical points
where there was fair expression OF their
votes, but that if the people we're bulldozed
or bribed, and their honest will defeated,
then all the arguments of the Pioneer Press
in favor of seating Hayes would apply in
favor of seating Donnelly. And if SO high
precepent as the throwing out of Louisi-
ana was a good rule to 60 by, it should
stand by it in Donnelly's case. And the
Pioneer Press might use all its fervid
editorials on Louisiana bulldozing and
bribery and apply them to the bulldozing
and bribery of this district with equal appli-
cability. In fact you have told us much about
the 'strumpet of corruption" etc. believe
honestly that if these two elements had been
eliminated from the election, Donnelly
would have had a majority of the votes.
And if there is now way of eliminating
them by even technical construction of the
law and throwing out the illegal and pur-
chased votes, I am in favor of doing 80. 1
do not believe that law is always justice or
rights but if a man seeks to plumber me by
law, have right to defend myself by law.
In other words, if the rule which counted in
Hayes is to be the established rule, it should
apply to Congressman as well as Presidents,
and be uniform. Two wrongs do
not make right; but two
wrongslmay set the first wrong in such an
odious light that its perpetrators and apollo
gists may be able to see it, and the right be
finally evolved by better education of the
wrong doors. l do not say that Donnelly g
case is no better than Hayes. believe that
Mr.. Hayes title is based on perjury, fraud
and mass of iniquity which will send him
down to posterity disgraced. Votes were
thrown out in his case to elect him on per-
iured and false evidence, and the people
were DISTINGUISHED. Yet you have justified
all this. There are no such elements in
Donzelly's case. He stands in a much bet
| Tor 1iohk fhon Mr. Havaa
Therefore I argue that if technical law
was good law to disfranchise the people and
to cover up fraud and perjury in the case of
Mr.. Hayes, it is good law to prevent the dis
reimbursement of the people and to prevent
bribery and corruption in the case of DON
nelly. And you say it was good law.

petrated by the Republican&t If the people
of those States have been defrauded of their
right to representation in the administra-
ton, it has been by reason of the frauds
committed by the Republicans, not
by the Democrats. The,history of the Pres
idential fraud is we'll known and needs no
recapitulation ut this time. 1t was q foul
blot upon the name of the republic, and for
it the Republican party is directly response
BILE. The attempt of the Vermontites to
shift it to the shoulders of the Democracy is
simply preposterous.
AS for the larceny of the state government
of Naine-the resolution alludes to it as an
attempt to steal the Sta.e-the less the Re-
publicans have to say about it the bet
ter. They succeeded in stealing the State,
but in order to do SO had to trample rough
shod upon both laws and constitutions.
They corrupted the Judiciary for partisan
ends, and by menace of armed forces put to
flight the regularly constituted authorities of
the State. If MIR. Edmunds thinks he can
secure the Presidential office by laying the
crimes of the Republicans upon Democratic
shoulders, he will find himself sadly mis-
taken. AS his boom, however, is as yet
a small one, based upon the most outrageous
presumption and the most patent lies, no
danger as to results need be apprehended,
for We feel confident that no candidate who
considers that he has even the ghost of a
show of the nomination will demean him
self to the extent of adopting the falsehoods
promulgated by the Vermont Republicans.

GRANT IN MEXICO.
Enthusiastic Reception by the People of
the Capital City.


Cry OF MEXICO, Feb. 25, via Brownsville,
Texas, Feb. 27.-On the night of the 21st Gen
eral Grant and party arrived in this city. The
station and surrounding grounds were bril-
liantly Illuminated. The band of Zapadors
was in attendance; also the commissions ap-
pointed by the national government of the
municipality and American residents. The
concourse of citizens present numbered over
10000, and Main street, leading from the sta
ton, was blocked for mile. The streets along
the line to the hotel were lined with double
files of mounted troops and rural guards 800
strong, each bearing torch, through which
line General Grant and party passed. The
effect was most brilliant, especially when the
guards closed in by patoons and galloped be-
hind the visitors. The chairman of the gov
eminent commission at the station extended
to Gen. Grant the welcome of the government,
and then presented the committee of the mu-
nicipality. who rendered the inequalities of
the capital upon arrival at the Minerva, which
the party will occupy during their stay here.
The band of Zapadores played the national
hymn as the military marched by the house.
Gen. Grant went the balcony, and was
greeted by cheers from the multitude. To-day
the visitors will be left in quiet, and be attend
ed only by the commissioners arranging for the
events of the week.

TO THE POINT.

The letter which J. w. McClung sent to
the Pioneer Press, the other day, is repub.
lished in this mornings GLOBE. 1t puts the
case admirably in reference to the Donnelly-
Washburn contest, and that scoundrely
newspaper concern, being unable to answer
it, cries "swash." The hollow sham of it,
pretended honesty is we'll punctured by the
fact that while it had nothing but common.
dation of the stealing of the Presidency, il
is vigorous in denouncing, not the act, but
the exposure, of Washburn's dishonesty in
buying his seat. 1t is an outrage to
punish that crime, and it is, PEI
contra, a virtue to perpetrate it. That il
the logic of the position.

ing of Washburn does not need to be de-
Tended, when compared with the rape of the

Washburn's alleged election was also an
