A DESPERATE REsORT.

Many of the leading Republican newspa-
pers are seriously suggesting and urging
plan whereby the party they represent may
retain control of the government for the
next four years. They propose that the leg
isIatures of all the Republican States of the
North be convened in extra session for the
purpose of choosing Presidential electors who
will cast their votes for Garfield and Arthur.
This plan, they argue. will give the entire
electoral vote of the Northern States, with
the exception of Indiana, to the Republican
candidates, and ensure their election.
The constitution of the United States pre-
scribes no fixed manner of choosing Presl-
dental electors, that matter being left to the
respective States. 1t was formerly the GUS

THE SPINDLE CONFESSED.

THE SFINDLE CONFESSED.
Chas. w. johnson, the pious scoundrel
who took the bogus and perjured census of
Minneapolis, was in the city yesterday look
ing over the manner in which the st. Paul
census was taken. His guilty conscience
evidently makes him anxious lest he should
receive the punishment which he
deserves, and he is anxious to
prepare some loop-hole of escape.
In conversation relative 10 his periured
count he stated that he had oorresponded
with Gen. Walker at Washington, relative to
counting the persons who arrived in Mime
apolis after June first. Ho was informed
that if he was satisfied that such persons had
not been elsewhere counted he could emu
merate thsm. And he added, this made
SEVERAL THOUSAND difference in the
result.
This apologetio admission Is confession

Gen. Walker to reject the returns. Seceral
thousand, we are informed, was his exact
language, and if he denies it the GLOBE will
produce the witnesses. 1t was under this
ruling that the hotel registers were copied
and that st. Paul parties visiting
friends at Minneapolis were enumerated.
Every one who put his head
into Minneapolis after June 1st was enumer-
ated and no questions asked.
We call the attention of the census bureau
at Washington to this confession and pledge
ourselves ready to prove all We have charged
and more if an opportunity is offered.
There is ample ground for requiring re-
count in this very expression, if there
was nothing else.

The Irish American Republicans have
issued an address to their fellow countrymen.
1t was hardly necessary, for the two hundred
and fifty purchased Irishmen present at the
Indianapolis convention probably comprise
nine-tenths of that nationality that will
prove recreant to their traditions, and false
to liberty, by voting the Republican ticket.
Whatever else may he said of the Irish, they
are uniformly steadfast in their devotion to
tho only party that has ever done aught to
maintain the dignity of labor, and to main
tain the cause of the poor against the op-

Appointment resident of Washington, con-

as link in chain of circumstances leading
to it. AS is well known, Forney and the
Camerons are at swords points, and his ami
mostly to the Harrisburg bosses was one of
the causes moving Forney to an affiliation
with the Democrats feeling of hatred
was embodied alike in his congratulory tele-
gram to Dougherty, and in his elaborate
apologyifor his desertion, published in Prog

tual, was of slow growth. Several years ago
it was sufficiently strong to interrupt an in
accommodation, but it could have been
DESTROYED and the ranking wounds on both
sides healed had it not been for most un-
fortunate lapsus lingue. At that time
mutual friend represented to Forney that he
was mistaken in supposing that Don Came

assured Don entertained for him the kind.

gave magnificent banquet, to which Gam

flowing alike freely-until the cloth was re-

characteristic little speech full of honeyed
compliments. the generous wine he had

ting himself, the place and the purpose that
brought him there, he launched forth in a
bitter invective against Forney, in which all
the issues between them were dragged to
light, all the old sores reopeped, and all their
causes of difference were exhibited. Forney
turned his back oontemptuously upon him
the guests. gazing upon discord where they
had looked for concord, sat thunderstruck,
while Cameron continued his maudin
harangue. Finally some one got up in his
seat, and, with disappointed hearts behind
smiling faces, the mutual friends departed.
No one ever approached Forney with proffers
of reconciliation with the Camerons again.

retiring in great confusion. The grand pro-

While the writer does not pretend that
there is anything particularly prophetic in
this, it is certainly a singular coincidence.
If it needed any Strengthening might state
that in 1876 was an editorial writer on the
Pittsburgh Post, and taking the names of
Samuel j. Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes
and applying the same rule as above it re-
suited: Tilden, 203 Hayes, 166. The cleo
toral vote was divided between the two can
didates in exactly that proportion. The
Republican conspirators, visiting statesmen,
and 8-to-7 electoral commission, stole votes
in Louisiana, in South Carolina, and 4 in
Florida, so as to make the count stand 1856
for Hayes and 1874 for Tilden.
The figures appeared in the Post and
other papers in 1876, and were extensively
republished. 1t remains to be seen whether
q verifcation of the same singular coinci-
dence of figures will follow in 1880, end
whether the Republican leaders will under

New York Commercial Bulletin. at is moth
ing surprising that Wall street should be flooded
with rumors of ruin to the wheat crop of Min
nesota. That State is the chosen battle ground
of the bulls and bears in the summer campaign;
and this is the third year in succession in
which the course of stock speculation has been
made to depend upon conflicting stories as to
the wheat yield in that section. There il
nothing in the relative magnitude of the wheat
crop of that State to give it this Importance.
The crop last year was less than 30, ,000, 00I bu,
or about per cent. of the whole crop of the
country; and whether it gives few million
more or less than an average yield can not
therefore be a matter of much consequence to
current estimates of the wheat supply of the
nation at large, and the more as experience
has proved the climatic conditions of the State
to bes uncertain that nothing can be concluded
respecting its yield until the crop has
been gathered. 1t so happens, however,
that two important railroads are largely fed by
the crops of Minnesota. and as the stocks of
these roads always exercise an important infu-
ence on the course of Wall street speculation,
there is reason enough why, at this season, the
prospect of Minnesota crops should be made
the subject of exaggerated representations.
Some sections report the appearance of rust in
low ground; but this is comparatively excep-
ional, and where the faint exists, the damage
does not appear to be serious. The existence
of the chinch bug is almost everywhere de-
MED. The reports make no complaint of too
much wet. Indeed, taking them as whole,
they indicate no more than an average of un-
favorable conditions, and are quite consistent
with the prospect of good average yield. 1t
is of course possible that unfavorable weather
may change the prospect for the worse, as there
are yet two or three weeks before the harvest:
but at present there is nothing to warrant ex-
pectations of failure"
