St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-03-27


ant for the governorship of Dakota is ex-
Congressman Deering, of Iowa. He has
been waiting to see the outcome of the tight
for the Eighth circuit judgeship, and would
not have entered the lists had Con gresham
McCoid been appointed Judge McCrary's
successor, as he did not want to ask for an
appointment of this sort for Iowa if Con-
gresham McCoid was appointed to so i'm
portant a place from that state. Now, how
ever, that McCoid is out of the field probably
he will begin an active canvass for the posi-
ton, and the chances seem to be good for
him to get it.
BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED.
The nomination of Judge David s. Brew
er, of the supreme bench of Kansas, to sue
coed Judge McCrary, settles the long impend-
ing struggle for the circuit judgeship, and
realizes the predictions of the GLOBES cor
respondent. Secretary Teller fought fiercely
for Judge Hallett's appointment, and the
Minnesota delegation hoped TO win with Gen.
Sauborn. Teller is bitterly disappointed at
not securing his man, and the friends OF
Sanborn are in the same frame of mind. The
influences which brought about Judge Brew
er's nomination were potent with the presi-
dent, and even overcame the cabinet.
KELLY AND ARTHUR.
Senator Mcpherson, speaking of presideD
tial candidates, said to q GLOBE reporter yes
terday that the enactment of the Roosevelt
bill was likely to have an important bearing
on the presidency. John Kelly has not hith-
erto had the power to control the mayoralty,
but now that the mayor was to be dictator
Kelly must control that or
cease to exist as political
factor. Tammany has controlled the New
York city government through bargains with
the Republicans. 1t must continue to do
that or die. The man who had the most eX-
perience in trading with John Kelly and was
best qualified to do it was Chester A. Arthur.
1t would not be very difficult matter for the
President and the Boss to arrange trade
of the mayoralty of New York for
the electoral vote of the empire state.
That might easily determine the presidential
election, if Arthur were the Republican can
didate, and it might even have something to
do with Arthur's support by the New York
delegation in the national convention. Sen
ator Mcpherson thought that on account OF
Senator Sherman's strength in Ohio and
New York it would be shrewd thing for the
Republicans to nominate him.
STATE DINNER.
The President gave another Of his congress
n4o+o NJ h. 70 1, u
evening, covers being laid for fifty-four.
The east room and parlors were deliberately
decorated with palms and plants, and in the
state dining room there were large pink
azalea trees in full bloom in each window
MICH The table bore as its central ornament
an oblong mound of pink and red tulips
and white carnations, massed in triangles of
separate colors. Tall gilt epergnes filed
with long stemmed Marshal Mel roses, tri-
angular cushions of pink and red carna-
tons. and double baskets of Bousilene roses
and lilies of the valley, also ornamented
the board. The tall gilt candelabra
were surrounded at the base by
wreaths and open diamonds of pink and
white azaleas. The ladies' bouquets were Of
unusually fine Jacquemmot, Marshall Mel OF
La France roses. When the dinner was an
nounced the president gave his arm to Mrs.
William Garrison and led the way to the
table, where he seated her at his right.
Representative Morrison took out Mrs.
McElroy and sat at her right, facing the
president.

The nomination OF Mr.. Sargent to be min
lister 10 st. Petersburg has made some talk
here but more ask what it means than ex-
press any decided opinions. In some quar-
tiers the transfer is criticised as an improper
concession to Bismarck or covert repri-
mand to Mr.. Sargent, and occasionally one
hears intimations that the state de-
partment must have heard of something
to Mr.. Sargent's discredit. The best inform
ed opinion is as follows: A minister's capa-
city for usefulness is greatly impaired when
he is on bad terms with the government to
which he is accredited. If he has got on bad
terms through no fault of his own, it is a
common thing for his government to trans
fer him to some post of equal or higher rank.
Mr. Sargent cannot be promoted in the
diplomatic service, but while st. Petersburg
is less agreeable place of residence than
Berlin, its court is the most brilliant in
Europe, and the American minister there is
of the same rank and receives the sam
salary as the minister in Berlin. Mr.. Sar-
gents transfer would not in the slightest
ho raAacfInn on him
same time afford an easy and
pleasant solution to problem of some EN-
barrassment. 1t would be guile in keeping
with Mr.. Frelinghuysen' reply to Herr Essen
decker, in regard to the Lasker resolutions,
to leave the position of minister at Berlin
vacant for some time, leaving whatever bust
ness there is to De done by the charge
d'affairs. This would be an informal sus-
pension of diplomatic relations, and would
be perfectly plain intimation to the
world that the American government was not
pleased with the treatment its representative
here, Mr.. Sargent has behaved himself with
entire propriety and has incurred the dislike
of influential officers in Berlin simply by do
ing his duty to his own government.
