AN election inspector has pleaded guilty
to perjury at Philadelphia. He made a
false oath in swearing, when he assumed
his official duties, that he was not interest
ed in any wager on the result of the cleo
ton. He was sentenced to pay fine of
$40 and be imprisoned three days, and in
addition, be barred from the right of suf-
frage for four years. The latter branch
of the sentence is unusual, and has not
been before pronounced upon culprits of
this class. The man is branded more
deeply by that penalty, than term of
protracted imprisonment could have in
hicted. The fine and three days in prison
are mere bagatelle, but to be singled out
as political outcast is a punishment of
severest degree, but not more severe than
the offense merited.

PROGRESS OF TIE FIGHT.

The presentation of Hon. D. M. Sabin
as a candidate for the U. S. senate yester-
day Gas announced by the GLoBE) was a
new complication thrown into the sena-
torial pot. Mr.. Sabin's candidacy met
with a fair support, though his
vote did not reach the proportion which
some of his over sanguine friends antici-
pated. He received % votes, which were
about equally divided between the Window
and antI-Windom forces, showing that his
name stands free from entangling ALI
ances of opposing elements.
That his vote did not reach larger pro-
portions, or, perhaps, prove sufficient to
make an election, was doubtless due to a
little boom which some of the scattering"
gave Gov. Hubbard by concentrating upon
him. Friends of Mr.. Sabin who were voting
for other candidates, delayed pronouncing
for the new man until there was q little
more strength developed.
As Gov. Hubbard's friends were mott
fed Shy authority" last night that
he did not wish to antagonize
Mr.. Sabin, and was not candidate, it is
reasonable to presume that considerable
portion of his following will join the Sa-
bin column to-day. AS Mr.. Window
is on the down grade, while
Mr.. Sabin is in the advance,
it does not leave the result in doubt when
the contest is narrowed to these two prom
inent candidates, the others being substan
TALLY eliminated from the contest.
The temper of the Legislature is to make
an election and get to work, and this, of
itself, will secure the success of the man
(other than Windom) who can now gather
! the scattered fragments and come within
ten or fifteen of majority of the
convention. The remaining number, when
those figures are reached, will not be long
in arriving in the victorious camp.

IT is natural that brave deeds beget en-
thusiastic admiration. Under this impulse
the Milwaukee chamber of commerce pre-
scented Hermann F. Staus a gold watch as
testimonial for his daring work at the
Newhall house fire, by means of which sew
eral lives were saved. Admiration for his
heroic deeds on that occasion extended be-
yond Milwaukee, and admiring citizens of
Dubuque proposed to present him testi-
monial. The brave fireman wrote to these
friendly people: eff you do anything, do it
for the poor unfortunates-especially the
servant girls-who lost their all in that
fire." Staus proved as generous as he
showed himself to be fearless under fire.

LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.

Mayor Ames returned home last evening
from his visit to Milwaukee and Chicago
The train was five hours late, having been
blockaded at Reeds Landing and all other
intersecting points by large snow drifts.
While in Milwaukee and Chicago the
mayor went through the various municipal
departments for the purpose of cleaning
information and facts. In Chicago at the
Palmer house he met Col. j. T. West,
Charlie West, Thomas Lowry and Archi
tect Burlington. From them he learned that
the contracts for the erection of the
Grand West hotel had been let.
The house is to cost 100000, and to
be inclosed on Nov. 1, 1888, and ready to
open on the first of the subsequent Novem-
Der. According to the stipulations of the
contract the contractor is placed under
bonds for the forfeiture of 500 per day re-
specting all failures in the dates men
toned.
Jas. Sullivan, the man shot in the head
by Peter Nelson in the saloon row was
taken to the College hospital last evening.
He is in precarious condition.

SENATOR FERRY, who is seeking re-
election from the Legislature of Michigan,
is accused of promising large number of
offices to his opponents as brides for their
support, and the house has determined to
investigate the matter. His promises do
not appear to have been of any more avail
than WINDOWS have here. The truth is,
the promises of politicians are at best
very slippery, and are more so, now that
the civil service bill has gone into effect,
than ever before. Mr.. Ferry and Mr.. Win
dom had better discard this means of gain
ing support before they get into trouble
about it.

THE NEW DEAL DEVELOPED
Dare Not Awaits Upon l Will, to a
Sufficient Extent to Prevent an
Election Yesterday.
ACTION OF DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Gov. Hubbard's Friends Notified That
He viii Not Contest with SabinR
and is Not Candidate.

The Democratic members of the legisla-
ture, to the number of thirty, met in the
senate judiciary room shortly after
o'clock yesterday morning to consider the
senatorial complications and the policy
of any change in the course pursued dur
ing the progress of the contest. The con-
ference lasted something over an hour,
during which time nearly all of those
in attendance gave their personal
views upon the matter, which developed
comparative unanimity of sentiment that
the time had not arrived for abandoning
their standard bearer in an effort to unite
upon some one of the candidates presented
by the Republicans opposed to the return
of Mr.. Window, and aid in his election. In
view of the announced candidacy of Hon.
D. NJ Sabin, and the expected focking to
his Support of many heretofore support
ing Window, two or three thought it would
be wise to throw their strength to him at
the outset, as the boom thus
given him would very likely carry him
through with rush, and thus put an end
to the deadlock of which the people were
becoming heartily tired, and which was &C.
riously interfering with the regular bust
ness of the session: The supporters OF
this policy were not tenacious, however
and finally resolution was unanimously
adopted pledging all to stand by theil
nominee until such time as some one OF
the opposing candidates to Window had
developed such strength as would, rein
forced by the Democratic column, give a
reasonable chance of an election The
caucus then adjourned, and the policy de.
cided upon was religiously carried out az
will be seen by an examination of the vot-
ing in joint convention.

1t the Hotels.

After the adjournment of the joint con-
vention the hotel corridors assumed live.
ly air. There were no eau
cuses held by any faction, but there was
heap of private consultation
Gen. McLaren declared he never was so
happy in his life as he was to see the op-
position to Window trying to get seventy
six votes. They, (the Window
forces) had tried to secure them
very hard and it made him
exceedingly happy to see some. one else
essay the experiment.. The General was
SO jovial that he opened another box Of
cigars at the Window headquarters
The cigars were of better quality
than the four dollars per hundred
with which they began the Window boom.
The bill rendered to Window for the boz
opened last night is at the rate of ffteer
cents each and it is possible that they dc
cost half that sum. 1t is encouraging tha
the proprietor of the
Window boom should feel
that it is best to use better grade of to
bacco. If the Window men did any more
than to gas at each other, IN an informal
way, it did not develop. In fact the work
now being done is not of the caucus char
ac5er but personal.
Gov Hubbard was called upon, bu
begged off from being int, viewed. L
was the current talk of the hotels last
night, however, that Governor Hubbard
had informed his friends that he
was not a candidate, and had
furthermore requested them to cast theil
votes for Mr.. Sabin.
The general feeling about the hotels was
that Mr.. Sabin would secure the requisite
number of votes, (probably
today to make an cleo
ton. Gilman was trying to promote
the Hubbard boom last night, but in the
face of the message the Governor is re-
ported to have sent the men who are
voting for him, Gilman's effort to become
Governor, by promoting the chief, is not
probable.
Mr.. Sabin passed the evening in his
room at the Metropolitan, quietly CONVEX
sing with such friends as called. His talk
was highly encouraging for those who
were supporting him, and as
surances of much additional support
were given him for to-day.
Mr.. Window was substantially abandon
ed. His room at the Metropolitan re-
ceived but few callers last night. Being
on the down grade, there was no reason
for counting him any longer.
The feeling was very prevalent that
Sabin would not only receive large gains
early IN the balloting to-day but would
be doomed to success before adjournment
The roll call to-day will settle the cor
rectness of this hotel gossip.

Ex-SECRETARY BLAINE has accepted an
invitation from Commodore Jacobs, OF
Boston, to travel through the South in the
early spring. The commodore's private
vessel Blaine" will be used for that por-
ton of the journey which is made by sea-
This personal" calls from the Cleveland
(Ohio) Leader the following scrap of logi-
cal conclusion:
1t is announced that ex-Secretary Blaine con-
templates an extended trip through the South in
the spring. The fact will set the political Cos
sips to chattering and be signal for unlimber-
ing the mud batteries of his political enemies.
They will all see in it nothing but a scheme to
make political capital, against which the pro-
tests of Mr.. Blaine and his friends will have nc
weight
The Leader mistakes the true position
of things, and singularly fails to compre-
bend that Mr.. Blaine's political sun has
set, and he no longer interests those, on the
one hand or the other, who have to do
with the living politics of the time. For
one who has climbed so many heights
there can be, of course, nothing left for
him but the presidency. Twice has he
striven for it, and twice his striving re-
turned to him as his. We do not believe
he looks to any political future for him
self. But it does not matter if he does.

oFF1oIAL DECLARATIONS.

Another state treasurer has turned out to
be defaulter to large amount. Mr.. Vim
cent, who occupied that position in Ala
bama, has managed to get away from the
state leaving the treasury over two hun
bred thousand dollars poorer by reason of
his being in it. The governor has offered
large reward for his capture, but it is
probable that he has profted by the ex-
periencs of Polk, of Tennessee, and taken
means to successfully elude pursuit. The
exac amount of his defalcation has not
yet been ascertained, nor is it definitely
known where the money went, although
part of it was sunk in cotton speculations.
The frequency with which these defalca-
tions occur among officials should be a
warning to people generally to keep a
stricter watch upon those who have the
funds in charge. The inspections made of
the condition of the public funds are in
nine cases out of ten merely formal, and
do no sort of good. A city, county and
state treasurer knows just when
these inspections are to take place.
If his funds are short he
can borrow enough from friend to make
his books balance, returning it the next
day or even an hour afterwards. 1t is no
secret that this has been frequently done
in this and other states, and there is no
guarantee, except in Minnesota, that it will
not be done again, thus covering up defal-
cations of large amounts which the people
will ultimately have to make good. A re-
form in the manner of inspection should
be inaugurated in every part of the coun
try, based upon the system now in vogue
IN this state. Officials should not be al
