his readiness to support the ticket. Not
so. however. with his friends, who
resented his treatment, and charged
Morrison openly with having sold them
out. They raised the cry of ''boss rule"
and sowed discord among the masses.
Aided by Republican newspapers, which
published alleged exposes of the Demo-
cratic party methods, they have succeeded
in waking up sentiment for an independ-
ent ticket. They held little meetings in
various sections of the town, and prevailed
On the Republicans to postpone the nomina-
ton of candidates. Friday the leaders OF
the so-called reformers, OF Independents,
called upon Judge Brown of the supreme
bench Of this city and prevailed upon him
to accept the nomination for mayor. Judge
Brown, who is over 70 years OF age, is a
Democrat with very good record. In two
years he would have been retired from the
bench. Flattered by his selection as can
didate on a reform ticket, he at once ac-
cepted, and the announcement OF the fact
created
A DECIDED SENSATION
in political circles. 1t is now proposed by
the Independents to hold nlass-meeting
and select a ticket on which shall be repre-
sented all the political parties, excepting
that which now has control of the munlc-
ipal and state government. Not to be
outdone by their adversaries, the regular
Democrats will name as their Standard
bearer III the city very prominent mer-
chant, who is above reprOach and has al
ways been foremost III the reform move
ments. James Hodges Of Hodges Bros.
has accepted an offer of the nomination.
The convention will be held next week,
when he will be declared the party's choice.
All regular politicians will be barred out of
the race, and the fight will be squarely On
a business ISSUE Should the Independents
OF Fusionists carry the city Senator German
will in all probability be defeated for re-
election. The state senate is usually very
close. In the last there were fourteen Dem
ocrats and twelve Republicans. In the last
house of delegates there were siXty-three
Democrats and twenty-eight Republicans
total of ninety-one members. Baltimore
usually sends delegation of eighteen Dem
ocrats. Should the same number Of Re
publicans be sent from the counties again
twenty-eight--and eighteen Fusonists go
from Baltimore, the latter coalition would
have forty-siX votes, or one majority. AS
the next legislature will have to elect a
United States senator, two police commits
sioners, and a governor to succeed eX-Gov.

Anew Entrance Way.

A party of Chicago, Burlington & North

route around the west end of Lake Phalen
and it is now said that that road will enter
the city from elevator B over the Manitoba

expensive one and the company aban-
doned it for cheaper one. The engineers
have been keeping very quiet, and have re-
fused point blank to say anything that
would compromise their company. How
ever, enough has been found out about
their intentions to induce few spectators
to buy up property near the st. Paul
foundry works. Property out that way has
the past few weeks enhanced over so pei

at its present rate the railway company will
find that it did not gain much in changing

An Important Contest.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 2S.-Maryland
Is on the eve of political campaign which
promises to be the most exciting in the
history of the state. The contest will be
extremely bitter, and as the Republicans
have been reinforced by number of dis
affected Democrats, the dominant party
cannot expect the usual walk over. In
Anne Arundel, Montgomery and DorcheS-
ter counties, Fusion tickets have been placed
in the field, while in some others similar
combinations are threatened. This state of
affairs has aroused the Democrats,

German, the recognized leader of
the Maryland Democracy, is the aim
of those who are coalescing with the Re-
publicans At any other time and under
different circumstances, there would be no
likelihood of the FusionistS succeeding, for
Baltimore. with its large Democratic ma
jority, can always be counted upon to carry
the ticket through. This year, however,
local dissensionS have broken out in the
city, and the Republicans are not slow in
taking advantage of their opportunity. The
trouble is due to the defeat of one of the
factions at the last primary election for
members of the legislature The various
wings here are headed respectively by j.
Freeman Rasin, j. Frank Morrison and
Robert j. Slater. These leaders have
ALWAYS FOUGHT EACH OTHER

ended. Morrison and Slater until recently
worked together against Rasin, who is the
clerk of the court of common pleas. The
latter, however, has always succeeded in
carrying majority OF the wards leaving
to his opponents the remainder. All three
are very popular with their followers. At
the last primary election Morrison formed a
combination with Rasin, and these two sue
ceeded in crushing out Slater altogether.
He failed to carry single ward. Slater

LATE ST. PAUL NEWS.
AN EARLY BLAZE.

Destruction of an East Seventh
Street Building This Morning.
Shortly before o'clock this morning the
watchman of No. Engine house discovered
fire in the lower part of Seventh street,
st. Paul, and quickly sent the depart
ment to the scene. A tWo-StOry
and basement frame dwelling owned
by Mr.. Hale, attorney of the
Manitoba Railway company, was found
to be in flames. The fire seemed to be
working from the rear through the entire
structure and had already mounted to
the roof when the fremen arrived.
The building was as dry as tinder and
burned with such rapidity that number of
occupants of the upper floor barely
escaped with their lives. w.
Ii. Farrell and wife had to
climb out of a window and Young, the
barber, who has his shop in the building,
had an equally close call. The two stores
in the block are those of Harrison Bros,
crockery dealers, and Jacob Simon,
dealer in secondhand goods. The base
ment was occupied by Is. I. Brayton. a
commission merchant. The department
was successful in confining the flames to the
one building. which includes Nos. 339,
SAL and 343 East Seventh street. AS the
nre was communicated from barn or store
house in the rear of the main building the
most difficulty was experienced in the
upper stories. These We're almost
completely gutted. The stores On the
ground floor were not burned out, although
barely enough of the building was saved to
protect the goods from the flames. Of course
everything in the shell was drenched with
water, as it required continuous pouring
of heavy streams for upwards of an hour to
snbdue the fire. The losses are estimated
as follows:
Oh plliuluS. .So,uUU
On SlmonS merchandise. se............... 1900
On Harrison Bros. merchandise. 1000
On property of other occupants. ....... LOGO
Total loss. 81, GOO
The exact amounts OF insurance could not
be ascertained. but it was stated that the
merchants are insured fully up to the ex-
tent of their losses, and that Mr.. Hale
is at least partially insured. The rear por-
tion of the block is perfect fire trap, with
its numerous light frame sheds, etc. A
horse belonging to Simon was taken out
barely in time to save its life.
The fire looked like the work of an incen-
diary, the flames first appearing in the real
and in a portion where there was neither
stove nOr lamn.

The New YORK Ticket.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Sept. 2S.-Reports are cur
rent here that Cleveland's administration IS
not pleased with the Democratic guber-
material ticket in this state. There is q
story going the rounds that strong efforts
were made by some of the presidents
friends to prevent the denomination of Hill.
Col Lamont, his private secretary, went on
a flying visit to New York last week, and
it was given out that he was called home by
the illness of one of his children. 1t is
understood that while the colonel was away
he put in little work which it was hoped
would circumvent the movement in favor OF
Hill. The presidents letter to Hon. Dor
man B. Eaton was timed to aid the effort,
but it was OF no avail, and the president, as
the exponent of civil service reform, has
been severely snubbed. 1t is thought that
the Mugwumps have, by the work OF the
Saratoga convention, been given due notice
that an alliance with them is no longer de-
sired by the Democratic party. and their
active cooperation with the Republicans
again is now expected.

NegotiatingTor Track Facilities.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 2S.-It is rumored
that the Wisconsin Central people are ne
gotiating with the Chicago d Northwestern
road for track facilities from Waukesha
into Milwaukee, whether temporary Or not
will depend on the contract that can be Sc
sured. The Centrars Chicago line crosses
the Northwestern in Waukesha, near the
present depot and negotiations would in
clude depot privileges as well as track
facilities. The negotiations for track facili-
ties over the ST. Paul line from Schlessing-
erville are in statu quo, no advance having
been made in the past few weeks. In rail-
way circles very little credence is given to
the assumption that contract will bemade
with either line. 1t is held that the Cen
tral can't afford to make permanent con-
tract, and furthermore, its policy points to
branch line OF its own.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 28.-This morning

special saying New York friends had, or
shortly would, call Oh Senator Sherman to

issue in this canvass. The mat
ter was referred to Senator Sherman
at Medina to-day, and he has
replied as follows: mo such request has
been made to me. [ never will acquiesce in
the overthrow of constitutional rights by
force and violence" Capt. Asa Bushnell,
chairman OF the Republican state commit
tee, was here to-day and said he was feeling
glorious over the prospect of Republican
victory. We are as certain to WIN as
doomsday. Can't help it. You know the
tide is going our way all over the state, and
neither the Democrats, Prohbitionists
nor anybody else can stem it.
The Prohibitionists will not poll a
number. We can stand 5000 over it. Gov
Hoadly was i'll the city to-day and feeling
ing very sanguine. He says his meetings
are fully as large as those of last year, and
that everywhere he finds the people taking
a lively interest in the campaign. Referring
to the recent challenge from Foraker, he
said:
cit was until a few hours ago that I heard
that Foraker had charged Inc with getting
Prohibitionists to ask him some questions
that he found very disagreeable to answer.
l never directly or indirectly, in thought or
deed, had anything to do with such a scheme,
and it it very silly in Judge Foraker
to charge anything of the kind. AS to meet
ing him in joint debate desire DR.. Leonard
to be included, for the reason that / regard
the Republican party as q Prohibition party
in disguise. L am opposed to it. L do not
say that L will not debate with Foraker with.
out Leonard, but I do say that 1 want
to meet them both together. As to 1
debate with John Sherman 1 have nc
objections; but life is short, and one cannot
speak in the open air ali the time. I am feeling
very happy over the present outlook in the
state, and think I have very good reasons fol
doing so.'

An Increase of BUSINESS.

From Sibley street to Minnesota street
nothing can be seen of the river for Mil
waukee cars loaded with brick, coal, lum-
Der and various other matter. 1t looks as
though business was picking up and that
the terminal facilities of the Milwaukee 81
st. Paul road in st. Paul would ha We to be
enlarged to accommodate the immense
amount of traffic that is going over its road
and avoid the blockade which is occurring.
Tracks which thisroad has found no special
use or necessity for heretofore now come
very handy and are being used to their full
capacity, SO much so that conductors on the
Minnesota & Northwestern passenger
trains, which are kept standing on the
bridge previous to departure for Chicago,
cannot see whether they are G ding to have
any tickets to punch for assengers on the
way until those going over the line get on
the train. 1t is expected that the earnings
of the Milwaukee q st. Paul, with this
great increase in business, will show con-
siderable of an increase for this week.
Until this rush of business is over, the Min
nesota and Northwestern will have to wait
to lay its tracks to connection with the
tracks of the Union Depot company, as the
Milwaukee & st. Paul has hard work find
ing standing room for its cars and necessar-
lily has to put some on tracks that it has
no other use for, except they might be
available as preventative to the assaults
of enemies or competitors. There is a
vague rumor to the effect that the Mime
sofa s. Northwestern asked for the right to
make a junction with the depot tracks and
the Milwaukee &5 st. Paul furnished it an
injunction without being asked, which is
looked upon as very generous act.
