Yesterday was another bustling day in
the Republican camp. It was the day
fixed for the Window caucus and the Win
dom crowd felt that they had no time to
spare. Hence button-hoiing was a very
vigorous amusement yesterday. AS
the time for the caucus to meet
approached the Window men
began pointing for the state house.
Everyone understood that it would be a
rump Window caucus, and consequently
only those who favored the boss went to
the capitol to participate. They were slow
in coming together, as though it was an
ungracious task which had been imposed
upon them, and they wanted to postpone
it as long as possible.
Arriving at the capitol the entrance to
the house of representatives was found
completely guarded and only members of
the Legislature were given passports. In
the corridors and rooms adjacent, Gen. Nc
Laren, Capt. Blakely, w. L. Wilson, Charly
Nichols, DR.. Day, of st. Paul, Thomas
Simpson, of Winona, DIR. Wedge, of Albert
Lea, ex-Gov. Pillsbury and numerous other
minor lights in the Window galaxy were
visible.
The members of the caucus were fitting
in and out, consulting with the faithful in
the corridors. They seemed to be waiting
for some one who was expected but had
not come. J. E. Child was n ade the sub
ject of special prayer and exhortation.
He seemed to be standing about for the
purpose of being urged, but j. B.. Gilfllan
finally coaxed him to go into the caucus.
About o'clock the caucus which was to
have met at 8 p. M, was organized and a
few minutes later the sergeant-at-arms an
nounced that the caucns had resolved to
sit with open doors. and allow the report
ers to have seats on the floor, while the
spectators could occupy The gallery. The
invitation was promptly accepted and all
hands went in to inspect the Window
machine.

certain trains have been discontinued tenn

miscellaneous Notes.

The anti-Windom Republicans held no
formal conference last night, though a
number of them met and talked over the
situation. They felt highly encouraged
over the result of the rump caucus. That
demonstrated that at least 4S Republicans
would not submit to ring rule, but would
act independent. These joined to the SO
Democrats would seem to be enough to
settle the question.
The Window men boast that they will
supply the needed thirteen by Tuesday,
and intimate that they know where to get
them. They are not, apparently, happy in
making this brag, but it is the best they
can do under the circumstances.
1t would appear that three men who had
promised to remain out of caucus, expe.
rieneed a change of heart This is a
most encouraging record. The fact that
only three failed to keep the compact out
of tiftyone, shows that it is an agreement
that can be relied upon to defeat Win
dom

THE CAUCUS.

The result of the Republican caucus last
night was the practical defeat of Window.
In saying this, we are assuming that he
cannot buy the number of votes which are
lacking to secure an election. We are
aware that in this era of barls this is as
Stunning a good deal, but the GLOBE prefers
to await developments rather than make
accusations.
Every man who can honestly support
Window was in that caucus last night
Every absentee was an absentee because
he was opposed to Window. It was
VIGOROUSLY WINDOWS caucus. No man can
now join the Window ranks without de-
hberately placing the brand Of venality
and corruption upon him. A man
who was not supporter Of
Window last night, will have
no reason to support him next Tuesday
unless he is paid for it. That is self-evi-
dent. The time for concealed conversions
terminated with the caucus. Previous to
that, wavering man might have been
brought without attracting attention but
now he will be marked nan. The issue
was clearly drawn and Mr.. Window still
lacks eleven votes of an election.
"Can he buy them" is the problem
to be solved? When Mclaughlin and
Peterson are added to the caucus list pub
ished as favoring Window, the whole has
been given and any other names who re-
spond "Windom" next week will simply
announce that they have been duly hired
to give their votes in that direction.
If such votes are given the list of names
will make very interesting reading.

WISCONSIN is either very fortunate
state in having code of laws that have
reached perfection, or is very unfortunate
in having a numb skull for governor.
The message submitted by Gov. Rusk to
the legislature yesterday does not contain
a single recommendation for new legisla-
ton, and is spoken of as dreary and
uninteresting document. Perhaps the
governor believes that that people is gov
erned best which is governed least, and
therefore proposes to get along with the
laws now in existence.

THE man who wants to cut off two in

last night and asked to be excused from
voting because name would be presented
he could not endorse. Of course he knew
that the caucus was Window ratification
meeting and when he announced at the
conclusion that his special aversion had
not been named, and pronounced a eulogy
on Window, it was splendid display of
the genus crank.

When the reporters entered the hall of

Col. Hicks, of Minneapolis, in the chair
and Senator A. E. Rice in the secretary's
desk.
Col. Hicks informed the gentlemen of
the press that no business had been trans
acted Except the election of president
and secretary of the caucus.
Mr.. Bobleter moved that the caucus do
now proceed to nominate candidate for
United States senator.
Col. Hicks asked how the vote should be
taken, by ballot or otherwise.
Some one suggested that the vote be
taken by ballot.
Senators Langdon and Chandler and Mr..
Bobleter were appointed tellers.
The roll was called and the following
gentlemen answered to their names:

THE TELEGRAPH WIBE DANGER

THE TELEGRAPH WIRE DANGER.
The story of the Milwaukee fire, which
resulted in such lamentable loss of life.
proves that much of the mortality was
caused by the network of telegraph that
surrounded the fated hotel. It was impos-
sible to raise ladders to the windows on
account of these wires, while it was found
also impossible to hold the jumping sheets
in such position that people leaping
from the windows could reach them with
out first coming in contact with the wires
A large number of persons leaped from
the windows for the sheets, but falling
upon the telegraph wires, we're horribly
cut and mutilated. Had it not been for
these distractions at least half of those
who were sacrificed might have been saved.
The fire in question is not an exceptional
one, save in regard to the appalling loss of
life. At every large fire in cities the same
difficulty is experienced, and tens of
thousands of dollars worth of property is
destroyed on account of the interference of
telegraph wires with the operations of the
fire department. The distractions are
becoming greater with each year. Here in
st. Paul, for instance, we have the wires of
two telegraph companies, one telephone
company, and of the fire alarm telegraph
strung along our principal business thor
oughfares, besides numerous private wires
in use by our business men. These
are constant menace to the
safety of our business structures,
and should be removed before some calam-
ity like that at Milwaukee overtakes Us.
In all the large cities of the east telegraph
companies are now required to string their
wires underground, and there is Eo good
reason why the same plan should not be
ado pied here. The longer the present
system continues the more difficult it will
be to get rid of it. The telegraphic bust
ness is increasing with wonderful rapid
ty, and their network of wires will con-
tinue to increase in density with each
week, month and year. There will never
be a better time for the legislature and
the common council to act than the pres
ent, and with the Milwaukee horror in
fresh remembrance it should be no difficult
matter to secure such legislation as may
be necessary to guard against such disas-
tiers in our own city.

dom had been one of us for quarter of a
century. He was man of peculiar fit
ness for the Office, and in all the walks of
life, both as citizen and an official, his
conduct had challenged admiration. His
character as citizen was conspicuous for
uprightness and an assurance that, if
elected, his duties would be faithfully exc
cuted. His name was the pride of the
state, and he was held in uniform respect
and esteem by all his associates. At the
capital of the nation and at the executive
departments he was held IN the highest
confidence and esteem. If it was safe to
judge man by the company he
keeps, his character was of the
highest, and in nominating him
the caucus would honor itself, and if it did
less it would fail in the discharge of high
duty. He hoped the caucus would not de-
feat the hopes and expectations of the
whole country. His district and the two
other senatorial districts of his county
would heart lily support the name
Col. Hicks then asked if there were any
other no mutations to be made. No other
nominations having been made the roll
was called and the gentlemen of the eau
Gus came forwar d and deposited their bal
lots in the hat. The whole number of votes
cast was 81; of which
William Window received . 60
Gordon E. Cole received. ..

Col.Hicks said that nothing having been
said as to whether the ballot was formal
or an informal one, he would consider it
formal, and declare Mr.. Window the nom
inee of the caucus.
At this point Mr.. Child wanted to be
heard again. He said he had not heard the
name of the man mentioned of whom he
had spoken, and he was glad of it. He
was also glad that so many honorable and
intelligent men from all parts of the state
had been found who refused to believe the
vile ISLANDERS and calumnies circulated
against the high-minded gentleman the
caucus had just nominated.
This crank speech made WINDOWS vote
81.
The nomination of Mr.. Window was
made unanimous and the caucus ad-
journed.
