truthful history.
In January, 1875, when Ramsey was
defeated his original strength in the eau
Gus was THIRTY SIX votes, and that is the
highest positive strength he ever devel-

been candidate.
On Thursday night of the current week
when he again suffered defeat, he had
precisely TwENTY-sIx votes. 1t will

IN ELECTRO-MAGNETIC BOY.

A Ten-Year Old Boy Whose Left Side
Phenomenon.
Mr.. John C.. Collins, tailor, employed
at w. L. McGrath's, and who resides at
No. III East Ninth street, near Jackson,
has ten-year old son, who attends one
of the parish schools of the city, and who
has lately developed phenomenal powers,
which have astonished his teachers,
schoolmates and parents. The boy is
described as of stout build, healthy and
active, with no noticeable physical pc
.culiarity, unless it be that his head is
large for child of his age This lad has
lately manifested an extraordinary mag
netic power in his left hand, with indi-
cations that all his left limbs and the left
side of his body is highly charged with
electricity, while on the right side there
are no such conditions. 1t is asserted
that any small object in metal will be at
tracted and held by his unclasped hand
as by powerful magnet, and that at
times the attraction is strong enough to
hold objects which are heavier than the
boy can lift unaided so firmly that a
stronger person taking hold of his arm
can lift the object clear from any other
support than its attraction to the boys
hand A coal scuttle, for instance, was
thus lifted yesterday. If the phenomenal
condition continues to-day the parents
will probably permit scientific inquiry
into the facts and causes of this strange
occurrence.

Routine Report.

Senate met at 10 A. NJ. Devotional exercises
by the chaplain. Journal read and approved.
Senator Crooks called up his resolution of
Tuesday last for the appointment of COM
mittee to whom should be referred all matters
relating to the State railroad bonds
Senator Pillsbury moved the adoption of the
resolution.
Senator Powers offered the following amend
ment:
Resolved, That while we fully recognize
every honest and legitimate claim against the
commonwealth of Minnesota, and are willing
as the representatives sof the people, to vote to
pay such claims in full, and interest, if any,
without reduction or abatement, we do not re-
gard the old Minnesota State railroad bond is
sued prior to 1860 as legally or morally bind
ing upon the people, but We consider the
whole scheme q fraud and deception, and
known to be such before bond was sold, and
ably calculated to entrap and swindle the citi-
zens of this State. We arc therefore opposed
to taking any action in the matter, either by
the appointment of committees or in any other
manner whatever.
A vigorous discussion followed covering
the whole question from the adoption of the
constitutional provision authorizing the issue
of the bonds down to the present time, and
embracing all the efforts made on the part of
the State and the bondholders to effect a settle
ment of the question. Efforts were made to
induce Mr.. Powers to withdraw or modify his
amendment, on the ground that it was I'M
necessarily harsh in its terms and did not ex-
press the views of Senator's who could not in
dorse the extreme views expressed in the
amendment. The debate was participated in
by Senator's Powers, Pillsbury, c. +. Buck,
Kinds, j. B. Gilfillan, Wilson, Beeman, White,
Rice, Wheat, Adams and Castle.
Senator Wheat moved to amend Senator

HOUSE.

The members of the House came up
smiling yesterday afternoon, and toed the
mark precisely as if no Senatorial nomi-
mating caucus had interviewed since
Thursdays session. The business was
mostly of routine order. Fourteen new
bills were introduced, the most important
of which were those for the inspection
of boilers in the State, to promote higher
education, to prevent quackery, and to
create new judicial district The
House was in committee of the whole for
a short time on general orders, and re-
ported two bills favorably. The speaker
announced that the members could draw
their pay for their first ten days services
and on adjournment all repaired to the
treasurer's Office and replenished their
pocket books with $50 apiece. Most of
the country members will spend Sunday
at their homes, returning for formal

LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY.

ANY one who has read the furious
screeds of the would be postmasters dur
ing the senatorial campaign just closed
would have imagined that Alex. Ramsey
was the one man, of all others, who was
the "beloved apostle" of the Republican
party in Minnesota A slight glance at
history punctures this fictitious bubble.
Ramsey has twice been nominated and
elected Senator and twice defeated. He
was first chosen in January, 1868, the vote
in caucus standing Ramsey TWENTY SIX
and James Smith, Jr., twenty.
In January, 1869, he was again nomi-
mated, the vote in caucus standing: Ram
sey, 2s; Wilkinson, %; Window, l;
Mcmillan, l; Folsom, l; blank, l.
This last nomination was obtained by
skulduggery, As usual several members
had promised both Ramsey and Wilkin-
son, each one having majority privately
PROMISED. The Ramsey men knew that
they must win op the first ballot or not at
all, as his strength lay in promises for the
first ballot, and also the support of several
who did not prefer him but desired to he
on the winning side An informal ballot
was refused by the Ramsey men, because
they did not dare show their weakness.
The Ramseyites had red card board tick
cts to enable them to identify their men,
and one man who had promised to vote
for Ramsey pasted a slip with Washburn's
name over Ramsey's, on red ticket
The slip was poorly pasted, and came off
in the hat where the ballots were
deposited. The tellers, accordingly,
counted the ticket for Ramsey,
giving him 2S votes, while in
reality he had but 81. The votes for
Wilkinson and the scattering would, if
the Washburn paster had remained,
footed up q, and there would have been
no nomination, Ramsey's vote being tie
against the field. The tellers found the
slip with Washburns name in the hat,
but did not count it at all, as they should
have done If it had been counted it
would have made one more vote than
there were members of the caucus, and
the ballot would have thus been
made informal by accident This
would have required a second ballot, and
there were sufficient number who were
SURE to have voted for Wilkinson after
having kept their pledge to vote ONCE for
Ramsey to have given him (Wilkinson)
thirty-one or thirty-two votes on the sec
ond ballot. The fact that there was no
second ballot was Ramsey's salvation.
His salvation might also be attributed
to the direct purchase of two votes. one |
man receiving 50, 600 cash and the other
81 800. The one receiving the s3, 900 died
