THE GLOBE REGISTER.

THE GLOBE REGISTER.
As the GLOBE opened and maintained a
register for the Minnesota headquarters at
the Republican convention, did not want
to show any Partially, and I accordingly
supplied the present quarters with another
GLOBE register. 1t bore the following names
tonight.
B. s. Cook, Owatonna.
John Shea, Owatonna.
W. Fl. Shelly, St. Paul.
W, NJ. Campbell, Litchfield.
H. W. Lamberton, Winona.
Harry NJ. Lamberton, Winona.
C. H. Perry, Winona.
NJ. V. Kellar, Albert Lea.
D. Blakeley, Minneapolis.
J. H. Mohler, ST. Paul.
E. W. Durant, Saltwater.
W. J. Whipple Winona
H. P. Mcintyre, Red Wing.
AS these will be largely increased to-mor-
row, the GLOBE register reports progress and
asks leave to sit again.
REVELATION.
I took turn around the Grand Pacific to-
night and called at the Minnesota headquar-
tiers, where we 'spent SO many happy days
together last month, and as 1 pensively
gazed at the closed, signless doors, a colored
delegate appeared. Shades of MeLaren,
Barto, Davis, Langdon, ct id onpae ge,aas,
what did l behold! The colored delegate
was evidently representative of the bar
room, for he bore a Japan waiter, and on the
waiter rested four small tumblers and bot
tie. His knock at the door was promptly
honored and he was admitted to full fellow
ship and the door closed upon the outer
world. When [ recall the great minds who
occupied these rooms few brief weeks ago,
l am constrained to exclaim in the language
of holy writ, or Alex. Ramsey, (same thing,)
''to what base uses have we come at last!"
WHO SHALL IT BE2
The great question. heard at the hotels and
on the streets is, ''Who will be the nominee!"
Occasionally some crank of the Watterson
stripe INDUCES in little platform talk, but
there is not much of that heard. There are
booms on for Cleveland, Flower, Butler,
Randall, Mcdonald, and several small booms
for a cent for other people. Pictures of
Flower are very profuse, and there is a fair
supply of pictures of Cleveland, Mcdonald
and Randall. The Cleveland men are more
confident than ever tonight. This is owing
to the fact that the delegates from Kings
county (Brooklyn), New York met tonight,
to decide who they will support. They voted
eight to one to support Cleveland and every
Cleveland man you meet tonight says,
''That settles itr' 1t does look something
that way, l must confess. The anti-Cleve-
land men conceded Cleveland thirty votes,
without counting Kings county, and if you
add eight that gives him a majority of the
New York delegation. Under the unit rule
that will swing him into line with the seven
ty-two votes of New York. The general
feeling here is to accept any man New York
may unitedly present. met Mayor Banks,
New York delegation stood.
''We don It care to give our figures" was
his reply, ''but you can tell the GLOBE
that we had a majority Of the New York del
egation for Cleveland before the Kings coun-
ty caucus, and that gives US eight more"
L utdi SOIIlc ud1h uLOub lWO-
thirds rule in your state delegation. Is there
anything to that!''
''That is all nonsense. The convention
instructed US to vote as unit upon the de-
cision of the majority, and there is nothing
that can change that except another conven-
tion.''
The Tammany men are vociferously claim
ing that Cleveland cannot carry New York
city and the Cleveland men retort that he
can carry the state by aid of independent
Republicans and lose the city. The Gam
many men say they will support Cleveland
if nominated, but regard defeat as newt
able with him. They seem to be anti-Cleve-
land without especially championing any one
else.
Butler has some loud workers and his
meeting last night was immense, but the
general feeling is that while he may be a dis
cordant note in the convention he is utterly
out of the question as candidate.
The Flower boom hinges of course, on New
York and the Flower men claim majority of
the New York delegation against Cleveland
without claiming majority for Flower.
The Mcdonald men seem to have good
deal more hope of the second place than the
first and "Cleveland and McDonald'' was
the favorite ticket in the Palmer corridors
tonight.
The New York delegation was called to
meet Saturday and then again tonight, but
now the meeting is postponed until to-mor-
row, and was told tonight there might be
still another postponement. Apparently one
side is afraid and the other dasn't. If they
should meet tomorrow and agree there win
be no fun left for the convention.
GAIT CHAT.
The great feature of the Butler procession
last night was big spoon.
A Kansas club 100 strong, with brass band
attachment, came in this afternoon and pa
raded the streets.
The weather is so cool that Mayor Harri-
son told the police to ascertain whether j.
B. Gilfllan is in town. The mayor says, for
the credit of the city, he don't want to freeze
the visitors.
Nearly all of the state Iowa is planning to
