The National Convention at Boston and Its
Work.

| The National Convention at Boston and Its
Work.
Mr.. ]. H. Bryant, delegate to the Ma
tional convention of the Ancient Order of
United Workmen, VIII ich closed its labors at
Boston the latter part of last week, returned
to this city on Thursday afternoon. The
session lasted eight days, and the proceed
| ings we're exceedingly interesting, fair ac-
count of which was CLEANED by GLOBE rep
resentative from conversation held with
Mr.. Bryant yesterday afternoon. The order
was represented by 100 delegates represent
| ing every State aud Territory in the Union,
the delegates from Minnesota being Messrs.
j. II. Bryant and M. Sheire, st. Paul, and L.
II. Pressnell, of Duluth.
Among the important results accomplished
By the convention was their unanimous con-
currence IN a national relief law, which
recognizes the Jurisdiction of the supreme
lodge over all sub divisions of the order
throughout the United States. 1t was de-
cided that in case of epidemics or other
widespread calamities, the liability of all
members throughout the order is not to ex
coed the sum of So per capita, that being
the outside limit of the assessment. Ac-
cording to the secretary's report the total
membership of the order is $4,000 souls,
and general prosperity was reported in all
the lodges throughout the country.
During the year last past the assessments
on death losses amounted to between one
and two million dollars, that being the ap-
proximate amount paid on losses.
In behalf of the lodges of Minnesota Mr..
Bryant took with him the balance of the yell
low fever assessment, amounting to $ 300,
making grand paid up total of 1926, con-
tributed by the order in this State for the
relief of the sufferers. Mr.. Roderick Rose,
of Iowa, was elected as the supreme master
workman for the year 1880.
The election for supreme recorder and re-
ceiver resulted in the choice of the same
gentlemen that presided last year. Mr.. Bry-
ant was appointed member of the COM
mittee on laws and supervisors, distin-
guished honor which he has had the pleasure
of representing once before. Of their re-
ception in Boston Mr.. Bryant has naught to
offer but words of praise. The delegates
were accorded most hearty and hospital
welcome. The courtesies of the city were
put at their disposal, and Gov. Long called
banquet in honor of the visitors.
A reception was also rendered the delegates
by Mayor Prince in behalf of the city of
Boston, and the visitors were shown all the
principal points of interest in the city. The
city also rnt steamer at their pleasure and
they paid delightful visit to Deer Island.
Returning home, Mr.. Bryant stopped in
Canada and passed through thirteen States.
He reports the spring most backward in all
sections of the country and states that the
first bright healthful day that he has seen in
q week greeted his return to st. Paul.

John MCCULLOUGH.

The engagement of Mr.. John Mccullough
next week promises to be highly successful
one. Mr.. Mccullough is without question the
greatest tragic actor of the present century.
He brings to his work of delineating character
high degree of intelligence to which has been
added diligent study of both history and ira
dition, SO that correct appreciation of the
various roles may be obtained. He has. in con-
sequence. been enabled to present to the public
finished conception of each of the protraitures
he essays. A master of the art of elocution.
studied in all the details of stage business, and
fully versed in ali the minutie of the costum-
cry that marked the ages in which the plot of
the dramas he presents lie, he gives TO the pub
lie production vastly superior TO that of any
actor who now treads the stage. On his forth
coming visit to st. Paul he will be supported
by a company of superior actors and actresses,
all of whom are well versed in their respective
roles. It is a matter of congratulation that
Mr.. Mccullough has realized more money the
present season than any other actor in the
country.

TIE astounding announcement is made
that the contract for the erection of a union
depot at the corner of Canal and Madison
streets, Chicago, has been let, For years
past the location has been occupied by three
of the wealthiest corporations in the ooun-
try, the Pennsylvania, Chicago & Alton, and
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad COM
panies. The buildings used for depot pur-
poses have been nothing more than shanties
hardly fit for hog-pens-yet the public
have tolerated them. The prospect that
there is at last a chance of decent accom-
modations for passengers on those lines will
be hailed with satisfaction by thousands.

If the matter is pushed, as it should be,
there are other hearts which will ache, as
there is no doubt that systematic effort is
being made to save Washburn by the same
means which secured large portion of the

A congressional inquiry, if thoroughly
made, will develop Washburnism in Wash
ington which may make Washburnism in
Minnesota respectable.
The music has struck up and the dance
has begun. The merry scoundrels who have
no higher idea of political honesty than the
cash purchase of their fellow men should be
given opportunity to waltz about on the
gridiron of public opinion, unmasked, and
their hideous rascalities should be exposed
to all the world.
Those Republicans and pseudo Democrats
who endorse Washburnism have reason to be

IT is the sheerest nonsense to talk about
delaying decision in the. Donnelly- Wash
burn contest until after the Presidential
election. The Presidential election has moth.
ing to do with it. Mr.. Washburn should be
expelled because he secured his majority by
bribery. Mr.. Donnelly should be seated
because of the unbought and unintimidated
votes he received the majority. If he
is ever entitled to his seat he is entitled to it
to-day, and decision one way or the other
should be made at once. The Democrats
have nothing to fear in giving Mr.. Donnelly
his seat at once, because it is right and just.
To delay until after the Presidential election
would be an admission that the Republican
charge of outrage" is just. Let the decision
come Immediately.

WASHBURN'S BRIBERY TACTICS IN
WASHINGTON.

Bill Washburn evidently relies upon re-
tanning his seat by transferring his Mime
sofa tactics to Washington. Our Washington
special shows that there is likely to be another
investigation of the rascality and scoundrel-
ism which is embraced in the significant term
-Washburnism. If the investigation is
pushed, there is no doubt of rich develop
ments. Mr.. Springer, the chairman of the
committee on elections, received a letter
three weeks or more ago, offering to present
his wife with five thousand dollars if he
would aid in keeping Washburn in his seat.
Does any one familiar with Washburnlsm
doubt the source of this offer?
Mr.. Springer's action on Thursday, though
not entirely in accordance with the $4,000
letter, was nevertheless peculiar and a COM
plete change from his earlier position in the
matter. He has certainly rendered himself
liable to grave suspicion, and we trust the

STILL EXPLAINING.

The Public Examiner e" VindicGting' HIM
self in the Martin County Matter.
To the Editor of the Globe
echoes your charge that the partisan exam
liner conceded the fact for six months"
that the treasurer of Martin county was de-
faulter because he was Republican.
This is the only statement affecting my
official conduct made by your paper in order
to break the force of my Ramsey county re-
port.
Having proven from my letterbook that
the deficit in the Martin county treasury was
reported to the governor on April 80, 1879,
twelve days after it was discovered (the in
termediate time having been given the treas
urer that he "might compare my figures with
his books'') the Sentinel echoes the GLOBE S
extraordinary change of front that l had in
duced the governor to 'pigeon-hole" the re =
port in these words: 'No doubt but that Gov.
Pillsbury was controlled by Kpox's recon-
mendations." And the Sentinel also adds:
"Knox's visit to Fairmont in April gave the
people confidence in Hackett's financial
soundness. He conveyed the idea that the
security which the bondsmen were begin
ming to be troubled with at once vanished"
My letter book is a very conclusive and
unimpeachable witness to the incorrectness
of these wild statements. Pages 247-8-9
contain the copy of letter written by me
officially to the board of commissioners of
Martin county, and dated April 29th (the day
before my report was transmitted to the
governor) in which gave them in the plain
est language the information of Mr.. Hack
ett's defalcation; and, after stating
that I had given Mr.. III. time to demur
to the correctness of my figures. The letter
adds: "Not having heard from him l must
assume that he admits the figures to be cor
rect, and have informed him that I have
written you of the facts that your board may
see that he at once makes up to the treasury
the amount due to it,"
This is certainly curious way to econ
ceal'' the facts and to control the govern
or. The consistent answer to it can only be
that "there 10 no doubt but that the board of
commissioners were controlled by Knox's
recommendations" and that the partisan
examiner induced them to "pigeon-hole"
the letter because Mr.. Hackett "was Re-
publican
The Sentinel has also this to say, viz:
That 'sMr. Knox recommended the board of
audit to give Hackett little time to make
good the deficiency" Mr.. Knox did not do
any such thing, and he calls upon the editor
of the Sentinel to publish any word of his,
verbal or written, that affords shadow of
evidence that he ever made any such sug-
gestion or recommendation.

REDUCED TELEGRAPH RATES.

The Northwestern Telegraph Company
MakessLower Rates to the Public.
A reduction of telegraph charges goes into
effect on the Northwestern lines to-day, which
averages nearly forty per cent. The charges
for messages from st. Paul to Chicago or
Milwaukee are reduced from seventy-fve
cents to fifty cents. All rates to points on
it's lines which have been above seventy-five
cents are reduced to that rate; all 75c rates
are reduced to SOC; all SOC rates are reduced
to 35c; and all 400 and 35c rates are reduced
to 25c. The public will appreciate these
concessions, and probably use the wires
enough more to keep up the company's re-
ceipts and profits. Low telegraph rates are
desirable, and the Northwestern company is
to be commended for the liberal management
which keeps it we'll up to the front in progress
toward the cheap telegraphing which will
some day make the wires, much more than
now, a substitute for the mails.

THE CHICAGO PACIFIC.
CHICAGO, April 2.-Some of the bondholders
in the Chicago & Pacific railroad not included
in the syndicate, which proposes to lease the
road to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
company, applied in the United States court
this morning to Judge Blodgett for an injunc-
ton to restrain the syndicate from voting for
the lease on the ground that they would be
prejudiced in their interests by such lease and
transfer. Judge Blodgett refused to grant the
injunction, but said he would hear arguments
after the lease shall have been contaminated as
to what disposition shall be made of the money
to be paid by the lessees. A meeting of the
syndicate is now progressing and the lease will
doubtless be confirmed.
The syndicate during the afternoon ratified
the agreement and the lease will be formally
executed at once, giving the st. Paul road full
control of the Chicago & Pacific. Judge Jane
son this afternoon on application in the super
ior court by a stakeholder of the Chicago Il
Pacific, issued an injunction restraining GER
tain named stockholders from voting on the
lease, but as those stockholders did not control
much of the stock, the injunction was of no
effect.

THE NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats of Nebraska have followed
the lead of the party in Rhode Island by in
structing their delegates to the Cincinnati
convention for Mr.. Tilden and adopting a
series of resolutions denouncing in unmeas-
ursd terms the great electoral fraud of 1877,
whereby man not elected to the Presidency
was installed in the Office. This issue will
probably be the keynote of the campaign. 1t
will make no difference which of the many
candidates named shall carry off the nomina-
ton at Cincinnati, the party as whole must
protest against the iniquity that robbed it
of its prestige in the present government
and defrauded the people of their right to a
President lawfully elected.
There is little significance in the instruc-
tons given the Rhode Island and Nebraska
delegates. Both are Republican by large
majority, and as both are comparatively in
significant States they will not be apt to ex-
ercise great deal of influence unless sup
ported by some of the greater States of the
Union that are potential in all elections of q
general nature. They have, however, decided
to support Mr.. Tilden as means of rebuking
fraud more than from a personal preference
for that gentleman, and if the vote should be
close in the convention they might hold the
balance of power.
The Republicans admit what the Demo-
Gratis charge upon them as to the electoral
dishonesty, yet they seek to evade it as an
issue in the pending campaign. The Demo-
Gratis will force this issue upon them and
compel them to regard it. The party at
present in power in the White House will be
forced to acknowledge the injustice of the
action that led to the seating of Hayes, and
we opine that the verdict of the people will
cause them to regret that such an infamous
scheme was ever entered into.
The resolutions of the Nebraska conven-
ton touch the right spot in the pending
campaign. They should be duplicated by
the conventions of every State in the Union.
