STREET SAYINGS.

terday a wel-posted and veteran Democrat
said: est Paul is a Democratic city. Ii it
is not, it is simply a disgrace to those who
claim to be leaders of the party in Minnesota,
and tell you that if you will combine relia-
ole Democracy with business ability, reputa-
ton and reliability in your candidate, you
can elect him without a question over any
and all other factions or movements. While
in town myself the other day, l met dozen
different groups of old timers and best
minded citizens all discussing this matter,
and while ALL with one accord, were
more than frank in expressing them
selves 'all at sea- for the want of
suitable candidate, none failed to assert
After naming all the aspirants, combina-
tons and suggestions of another character
if Bot Smith would only accept the
whole question would be instantly solved
and victory assured"
~
The conversation did not stop here, how
ever, and the remark was made-and again
unanimously approved1.that the success of
the Democracy did not depend on the can
didacy of Bob Smith or any other one man,
as there were numbers of them, any of whom
would make successful run.

It was rumored on the streets yesterday
that the chairman of the Republican city
committee had telegraphed the Hon. r. F.
Crowell, late sixth auditor in the postofiice
department, Washing on city, rendering him,
in behalf of the Republicans Of st. Paul, the
nomination for mayor Quite a number of
Republicans questioned the authority of the
chairman in the matter, claiming that Mr.
Crowell had resided so long in Washington
city that his notions on the license question
and Ordinance No. 10 must be considerably
mixed. The rumor, if well founded con-
tains valuable pointer.

The gentleman who walks off with the
GLOBE from the Chamber of Commerce
rooms deserves a compliment more for good
taste than integrity. He would obllge good
many people who would like to look at it
If he would delay INDUCING his pilfering pro-
pensities until later in the day, so that other
people can get chance TO see it. 1t is to he
hoped that this gentleman, who manifests
such excellent taste in the selection of his
reading, will not take offense at this request.
The GLOBE appreciates the compliment of
being selected out of n collection of hun
dred other papers as the one most desirable,
but the gentleman who takes it ought to re-
member that there are great many other
people of good taste, who also like to read its
columns.

The commission men OF st. Paul are con-
sidering how they can stop the trickery of
not returning the cases in which eggs are
packed. When they sell eggs they do not
sell the cases, but the purchaser of the eggs
agrees 10 return in good condition the cases
in which the eggs are packed. The purchaser
accidentally and unintentiOnallv forgets to
return them. few days ago one of our
commission men sold ten or fifteen cases of
eggs to retail dealer with. the stipulation
that the cases should be returned immedi-
ately. They did not come back and were
sent for, but the purchaser could not Just
then find them, but promised to attend to
the matter at once. The commission man
the next day visited the freight depot of one
of the railroads, and there he saw part of
the cases which had been repacked
with eggs aud marked for some firm
in distant city, That was what is called
pointer" He drove up to the dealer re-
ferred to and asked for the cases. The dealer
hoped around in the most active and ac-
com mOdating manner, aud with an appar-
emily honest desire TO find the cases, but be
could not, aud began to apologize and prom
Use to return them, when he was cut short by
the owner, who related what be had seen
and demanded immediate payment for the
cases The dealer saw he was caught and
paid up just like an honest man. 1t was
lesson.

The idea Of an Indian rebellion makes
me sick. said well-known army man who
left st, Paul for the upper country last night.
This fellow Riel doesn't amount to much;
he is q renegade of the first water, aud If the
Canadian government had any snap about
Il, the insurgents would be squelched in two
weeks. But England is good deal like our
own country in dealing with the Indians
She is altogether too lenieut, and l suppose
the rebellion viii be permitted TO drag along
for some time to come
