The other members of the Cabinet, while not so emphatic was MT. Endicott in the ex- pression of opinion, believe that the Senate exceeded it's authority in asking for the pa pers in the case and that the President would be justified in declining to comply with re- quest. From the best information obtainable it is believed that the President will decline to furnish the desired information and in de- clining will state that in doing so he intends no disrespect to the Senate; but that as a CO., ordinate branch of the government-each with certain we'll defined, functions-he does not believe the Senate has the right to ques- ton the exercise of functions vested in the executive The Presidents response will take the form of an executive communication and will be delivered to the Senate in execu- tive session;

YESTERDAYS CONVENTION

1t was bear garden of the old school.
That Is the most charitable thing that can
be said of the assemblage that met in En-
position rink yesterday and kept up its po-
litical orgies until late hour in the night.
Looking down from the platform upon the
convention as it appeared in TepOse, 1t was
impossible to conceive that such an intel
Iigent-looking body of men could suffer
itself to be lashed into the riotous
tempest which it at times assumed.
In its personnel the convention was all that
the most ultra-Republican partisan could
have desired 1t was largely made up OF
the old party leaders, men who are accuS-
toned to attending conventions and who
are skilled in all the arts of politics. 1t
was the largest and most notable gathering
of Republican politicians that was ever
known in the state. And the very causes
which brought so many of the Old-time
leaders together were the very causes
which produced the intensely diScordant
condition of the convention. 1t was the
battle of the bosses, the conflict between ma
chimes, the fight of the ring against the ring.
In the disgraceful scuffle for supremacy all
sense of propriety was lost sight of, and
instead of presenting the spectacle of dig
nifed body of patriotic men earnestly en-
gagged in the work of nominating ticket
and constructing a platform that would be
commended to public appreciation. the con-
vention converted itself into Yeritable bear
garden. The old political ring which
for so long has ruled and almost ruined this
state was making most desperate struggle
for existence. For the first time in its MIS-
tory its power was seriously threatened.
The Well-disciplined forces of GILMAN and
the honest and earnest little band of farm-
ers who had rallied under the GIBBS stand
ard stood together in an effort to dethrone
the state house ring. The latter were
fully conscious of the strength of the oppO-
sition and fought with the desperation of
hyenas who are about to be deprived Of
their prey, and won by ferocious methods.

TIE NOMINATION..

It was a decided victory for the rings
1t was the triumph of the state house rings,
of all the district rings and the court house
rings, and most signal victory for the
wheat ring Who is ANDREW r. McGILL
that he should be entitled to promotion
to the Office of governor of the great
state of Minnesota? This is a ques-
ton that every voter will PROFOUND to
himself. What distinguished public serv-
ice has he ever performed that entities
him to such eminent distinction over the
heads of men of his own party whose
names and deeds are illuStrious in the his
tory of the state. What are the evidences
of his ability or of his craftsmanship?
When and where did he acquire fame or
give evidence that he merited the promi-
hence which was bestowed upon him by
Yesterdays convention? For eighteen years
a pensioner at the public crib in the humble
capacity Of clerk in the state house is the
summary of his public record. Why,
then, was lie singled out for an honor at
the hands of the Republican party which
the oldest and best men of the party coveted?
The answer is plain enough. He was the
plant instrument of the rings. He was an
associate with the state house gang, and
stood in with the Minneapolis wheat deal
ers. That is all there was in MCGII.L's
candidacy for the Republican nomination.
But that was enough to nominate him.
And it will be enough to defeat him at the
polls.

ROss PillHhurY,s Meefiny.

While the fourth formal ballot was being
taken, w. r. Merriam and Gen. Mark d.
Flower stood one on each side of the aisle,
scrutinizing the delegates as they came up,
keeping mental tally, while Stanford Newell,
w. b. Dean and E. G. Long were little to one
side iu close communion, summing up the
situation and planning where they could bring
a lever to bear on some of the delegates.
After the third formal ballot, when McGill
lacked only six votes of nomination. as soon as
another vote was announced, the Ramsey
ounty men, who occupied the front seats,
Jumped over the backs of their chairs in a
hurry and began buttonholing, trading and
,oaxing to get few more votes for their
candidate.
Knute Nelson struck the key note of the
discord when, in the second speech to the
convention, he denounced 1.-The studied insult
which the McGill and Gibbs forces had given
the Gilman supporters in arranging tenn

HON. ALBERT sCHEFFER.

The Evening Dispatch is right about it.
MCGILL is the man the Democrats wanted
the Republicans TO nominate. because he is
the easiest one to beat Mr.. GIBBS was
strong with the people. Mr.. GILMAN was
known to be skillfui political manipulation,
but the one above all others whom the
Democrats Odreaded to encounter was
Hon. ALBERT SCHEFFER. A man free
from ring alliances, an upright citizen, a
gentleman of great personal popularity
and recognized ability, Mr.. ScHEFFER is a
man whom the Republicans might have
nominated with a confident hope of sue
cess. But he was the man least of all
whom the bosses wanted. 1t was because
he would not submit to ring domination
that they rejected him and crushed him
under their feet

Wadre Nnta Succass.

Dr. A. G. Wedge. the alleged chairman
of the convention, may be very able man
in his profession, but he lacks the first
qualification to fit him for the position as
presiding officer at any meeting at which
over seven people are in attendance. Ii
is perhaps a very fortunate thing for
Chairman Wedge and his future
health, wealth and happiness
that Mr.. McGill was nominated.
Owing to his hesitation and indecsion, it
looked several times as though McGill was
to be beaten, and the friends of the ring
candidate were loud in their denunciatons
of the trade by which Wedge was selected
as chairman. Several of the whippers-in
for McGill held an informal meeting, and
it is alleged decided to get even with the
gentleman from Albert Lea, if their
schemes fell through

THE PLATFORM.

The platform is in the line of Republican
platitudes. 1t favOrs high liquor license
and hedges on prohibition. 1t lodges the
issue of providing a soldiers home in the
state by referring the matter to the general
government instead of pledging the state
to it in case the Republican party is again
intrusted with power. As to other matters
the convention adopted the Chicago CON-
promise plan. by putting one side of the
question in the platform and the other side
in the ticket. 1t declares in favor of
amendments to the warehouse law, and
dominates a candidate for governor who
stands in with the wheat ring.

in the building, together with quantity of
hay and several sets of harness. The loss is
estimated at $500 on the building and 81, 900

in the alarm, says the fire was undoubtedly
of incendiary origin, as he passed the build

HopeEuluess In Washington.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Sept. o. There is a
symmetry about the Democratic platform
and ticket this year which meets with the
approval of all who read. The Democratic
national committee looks anxously and eX-
pectantly towards Minnesota. Besides
eecting a governor and other state officers.
there is fighting chance to carry the legis-
lature. so that the successor of Senator
Mcmillan may be Democrat. Gentlemen
here. who are familiar with the political
past and present, speak in terms of great
praise of the work done by the Democratic
convention. The election of at least two
congressman, one from the First and one
from the Fourth district. seems to be CONT
IDENTITY expected at Democratic headquarters.
Besides, it is believed that there is good
opportunity for the people to send repre-
sentative worker from the Third district.
Unless these things shall be so there will be
disappointment Oh all sides.

izing qualities of our democratic institu-

held place of power equal to that now
held by Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
under the British government. Yesterday
he sat in the state convention as a delegate
from Winona county. His voice was no
more potential than that of the humbleSt
delegate in the hall. OF the SOL delegates
there was not one but was his peer, and
many of them welding more influence than
he did. Political life in this country is but
