WASHByRN INHALED.

4 Republican Paper States the Logic of It
In q Forcible Manner.
IGen. Jennison in Red Wing Republican.
The GLOBE has some proof of the corrupt
use of money by Washburn. Here it is.
Washburn defeated DR.. Stewart for re-
nomination to q second term. No Republic
can Congressman in this State except Stew
art was ever defeated who desired second
term. The unusual result must have been
caused by unusual means. The unusual
means must have been the corrupt use Of
money.
The convention was called by Washburn's
friends while Stewart was attending the ses-
sion in Washington. This was trick, and
trickery proves subsequent corrupt use of
money.
Washburn's friends Travelled the district
to enlist his friends to control county con-
ventions. The payment of their expenses
by any body was corrupt use of money.
The friends of Stewart in their disap-
pointment charged the corrupt use of money.
OF course, they couldn't have been beaten
without such use of money.
Halls paper also charged at the time that
Stewart was beaten with money. Hall is as
friendly to Washburn as the devil to holy
water, and wouldn't lie about him.
Republicans now admit that no Congress
sional candidate in Stewards circumstances
was ever defeated and they admit that they
heard rumors at the time through 1.-THE news
papers or otherwise" are Halls words,
he has interviewed them for the GLOBE
that it had been accomplished by money.
There's proof for you! Now if Washburn
bought his nomination, he bought his cleo
ton. Therefore he bought his election.
Very satisfactory. The best preof we ever
knew the GLOBE to make.

He deliberately; classes the Faribault Democrat

1t strikes the GLOBE that it is the truth.
We think it is fair and correct to style as
''Republican papers, sheets which support
Republican nominees and oppose Demo
cratic nominees who stand fair and square
upon Democratic platforms. When in addi-
ton the Republican nominee is convicted
Of bribery and corruption and is still
sustained by said papers, they certainly
earn the title we have given them. A paper
which is doing efficient work for the Repub.
lican party can be properly styled Republi-
can paper, and so far as they have the power
the LIE Sueur Sentinel and Faribault Dem
0cr0t are laboring in behalf of the Repub-
licans, and endorsing the biggest corruptionist
which afflicts that party in Minnesota.
When the editor of the Sentinel went to LIE
Sueur that county was good for 1,5OO DEM
ocratic majority. While pretending to be
Democrat he has conducted his paper in the
interest OF the Republicans until they have
actually captured that county. If that don't
entitle the Sentinel to be ranked as Repub
lican paper, We do not know what the proper
category is

The destruction of the mammoth whole
sale dry goods house of Auerbach, Finch,
Culbertson q Co., by fire, last night, is dis
aster both 10 the city and State. 1t was the
largest establishment of the kind west of
Chicago. and was most splendidly equipped
for the spring trade. Tae merchants of the
State have grown TO rely largely upon this
great establishment for their supplies, and
they will sharo with S.. Paul in lamentiug
the loss.
The immediate sufferers have the pro-
found sympathy Of the entire community
and the feeling is general that while their
personal less is great, there is still greater
incidental loss to the city. OF course such
an enterprising firm cannot be crushed by
such a calamity as this, and while the flames
we're still i'll progress they had rented other
quarters IN which TO resume business to DAY.
While it is a severe blow, it is net an iJre-
parable one, and tae disaster is certain to be
only temporary.

Shortly before three o'clock this morning
Mrs. Charles Haines was awakened by the

in the rooms. MIR. Haines laughed at her sus-
plcions, but when he became thoroughly awake
he himself heard the noises. His wife had
arisen and found that his clothing was scat
tered all about the floor of the room.
Mr.. Haines leaped from the bed,
seized his revolver and rushed
out of the bedroom, only in time to hear
some one hurrying off the roof of the shed that
reaches almost to the back windows of his
rooms. He found the window partly raised
and several flowers and papers that had been
placed in it scattered over the floor. He peer
ed out into the darkness, but could see nothing
Turning his attention to the interior he found
his clothing scattered in all directions. His vest
was lying just under the window as if dropped
by some one making hasty exit, his valuable
gold watch lying on the floor beside it. The
pockets had been rifled of sum of money
in bills amounting to between $40 and
$3.50, while from his trousers pockets
several dollars in silver had been distracted

whisted for an officer. After some delay
Officer Babe came upon the scene, but the
thief had made good his escape, and was be-
yond danger of pursuit.
The burglary is one of the boldest that has
taken place in St. Paul for q long time. The
thief no doubt thought he would secure con-
siderable plumber from the fact that goodly
sum had been derived from MIR. Haines' beneti,
on Thursday evening. Fortunately he did not
succeed in getting the whole proceeds, as only
the days collections happened to he in MIR.

Sooundreis to the front: honest men TO the
rear. appears to be the motto os tho Repub-

organization of that party-the most corrupt
that ever existed in this or any other country
has there been q more uniform promi-
nence of the disreputahle elements OF poll
tics than at the present time. The mention
of Gen. Grants name in connection with the

ing themselves hoarse in the endeayor to

upon regarding them as representative men,
entitled to all the consideration usually shown
to political leaders.
Some newspapers affect to believe that with
the return of Grant to the Presidential office
a reform in the character of the officeholders
and in the administration of affairs would
be inaugurated. This superstition is wholly
gratuitous and unwarranted by past expert
ence. The fact that Grant still as
sociates with and makes trusted
friends of tho old manipulators of the
corrupt rings that brought SO much discredit
upon his two former administrations shows
that he is still DESTROYS of trusting them and
being guided by their counsel. We are
therefore justified in asserting that the re-
election of Grant would ensure the re-instate-
ment in office of the thousands of thieving
officeholders who have cost the country so
dearly in the past.
During the eight years of Grant from 1869
to 1877 there were defalcations among public
officers amc uniting i'll the aggregate to nearly
five and a half millions of dollars. This is
taking no account of the many millions that
were stolen in the way of naval contracts,
mail contracts, by agents of the Indian
bureau, from the sale of post traderships,
and innumerable other methods. 1t may be
added, too, that of ali the thousands of
officials engaged in these depredations,
not a single one was ever punished save the
whisky thieves, who were visited with nomi-
| nal fines and light terms of imprisonment.
There seems to have been perfect carnival
of dishonesty, permeating every branch of
the government from the executive down.
A man who undertook to expose the all-per-
vadng Generalization was treated as pub
lie enemy, and instead of being rewarded
was driven from the counsels of the party,
and if an officeholder was instantly decapi-
tated. 1t was regarded as crime to expose
corruption, but a virtue to practice dis
honesty.
The people will hesitate long before they
again place the control of their affairs in the
hands of men of such unsavory reputation.

wisdom by experience and would choose new
counsellors. He still entertains
the kindlest feelings for his
old associates, and would cling to
| them with his characteristic tenacity. He
has total disregard for public opinion,
seeming to regard it as mortal offense that
anyone should call in question either his
motives or the wisdom of his action. No
man IN the country is more vain or self
important. He regards the most fulsome
| fiattery as only his due, and the homage of
the people precisely what he has right to
exact. His stubbornness and pride would
combine to lead him into pursuing the same
course that he did during the last years of
his administration. The reelection of Grant
is fraught with the greatest danger to the
republic, for it would re-inaugurate the era
of fraud that has for so long been areproach
to the nation.

FoR man who claims to be intelligent
and capable, Gen. Howard is probably the
sublimest fool on the continent. 1t has long
been known that one cause of the embarr S.
ment of the Freedman's bank was advance
ments made to Howard university, over
which the general which bears its name had
supervisory powers both as financial admin
istrator and educational director. His recent
examination before Senator Bruce's COM
mittee, however, las developed the fact that
re was totally ignorant of those financial
transactions of which he ought to have been
fully informed. He evidently left such mat
ers to parties vino were wholly irresponsible,
or If he attended to them himself he has a
convenient memory, which has enabled him
to forget matters of the greatest Importance.

sity are not without foundation.

WORKING FOR HARMONY.
A Plan FOR Uniting the Ne,c York De-
mOcr0cy.

I
mOcr0cy.
New York Special, March Al
A desperate effort is to be made by large
number of the most prominent Democrats
of both factions in New York to restore har-
mony in the party in this State. Among
the many who have identified themselves
with the movement are August Belmont, ex-
Lieutenant Governor Dorshelmer, ex-Judpe
Sutherland, A. j. Vanderpool, Algernon s.
Sullivan, ex-Judge Morrill,, Judge Spencer,
and Others. 1t is noteworthy that the Til
den and anti-Tilden factions seem to be
fused here in about equal proportions, SO far
as can be judged from the names 1t is pro-
posed to organize in every city and town in
| the State Democratic union, whose
| purpose it shsll be to pro
mote the efficiency of the party by pro-
noting harmony in the ranks. Judge
Sutherland has been elected president of the
union III this city. The leaders in the
movement think that if they can stir up
eager demand for union among the Demo-
cratic electors of the State, the politicians
| will have to come round. In the words of
Mr.. Dorsheimer: ''The Democratic voters
must begin the fusion, and when they de-
| mand union, depend upon II, the poll
tlcians will come together at once" The
leaders will avoid stirring up further strife,
by carefully refraining from a discussion of
factional issues. They think they can carry
their point, if at all, by forcibly presenting
the danger Of further quarrelling, and by
creating such demand for harmony as will
practically unite the party, if not the poll
ticians. The New York union tonight
adopted an address to the Democracy of the
State. The following is an extract:
This organization is simply and
solely in the interest of Demo-
cratic harmony throughout the State
and country. 1t has no friends to reward
nor enemies to punish. 1t is hostile to no
pre- existing or contemplated organization,
but wishes we'll 10 all who will aud propose
to act well in the interest of the Democratic
party. The Democratic union, is, in a word,
no mans man, its only object being the in
tegrity of the Democratic party, so that in
all essentials there shall be unity, in non-es-
sentials liberty, and in all things charity.
The necessity of this union is beyond the
need of argument. A thorough and cordial
union of the Democracy of the State and
city CT New York at the next election will
insure Democratic victory in tine State,

%yTLL THE DEMOCRATS BE BE4TEN
BY FURCE?


BY FORCEo
The New York Sun follows NJ. Jte.
Wheelock-though the inspiration appears
TO spring from different source-in assert
ing that it is the purpose Of the Republican
party to seize upon the government at the
close of Mr.. Hayes occupancy of the Presi-
Dental Office and install Gen. Grant, whether
he may BE- elected or not. There is other
corroborative evidence to the same effect
coming from the best Informed sources,
which leads to the superstition that there is
more foundation for the assertion than most
people wot of.
1t is the deliberate purpose of the Repub-
lican leaders to permit no change in the fed
eral administration without a resort to
armed force. This determination is one of
the impeliing impulses of Grants can
didacy. The party managers know
that Grant will hesitate
at nothing that will tend to advance his per-
sonal ambition, and though feeling assured
that he cannot command a majority OF either
the popular or the electoral vote, they have
chosen him es their candidate because OF
this quality which he possesses. 1t is folly,
therefore, for the Democrats to elect their
candidate for the Presidential. Office unless
they are prepared to inaugurate him at any
cost.
1t viii lie the purpose of the Republicans
tha first place 10 fsl5fy the returns, as
they did in 1876. Failing in this they will
endeavor to refer the question of the cleo
ton of President to arbitration, taking
good care, as they did in the last instance,
to have the arbitrator committed to their
cause. If this resort fails, the last recourse
30 armed force will be had, and here
the real contest will take
place. If the Democrats consent
TO be intimidated, they will lose the fruits of
their efforts at the polls in November. But
if they keep bold front and assert their
rights, showing their ability to maintain
them, they will win the day. There is no
question but the Democratic candidate for
President, whoever he may be, will receive
a majority of the popular and electoral vote
of the country. The only danger of want of
success IN inaugurating him will be that the
Democrats will permit themselves to be out
witted or intimidated. They have, however.
been forewarned, and they should be fore
armed. The people will not again overlook
degree Of cowardioe that shall result in de-
fraudiDg them of their choice of a chief
magistrate of nation.
