An Opportunity for the People of
Rising Sun.

In Baltimore one of the most rapidly growing
enterprises OF the last few years. and one of the
most appreciated as well has been the Instalment
Business Its great advantage and benefits espec.
tally to the medium and poorer classes cannot be
ovcrestimated Formerly people in ordinary cir
cumstances were compelled to do without a great
many necessary comforts of life; that is, their
houses were scantily furnished and only because
they could not at any time raise sufficient cash
money to properly furnish them. What little fur
niture they had, was of the poorest and cheapest
class and never made respectable appearance or
gave any satisfaction. Now on the Instalment
Plan any honest person. no matter what his or her
circumstances are, no matter how poor or how
rich. they can get anything in the way Of Furni-
ture, Carpets, Stoves, Crockery, Refrigerators,
Baby Carriages, Paror Organs etc., in fact any or
everything necessary to furnish the Home com
plete from cellar to attic.-they get all these
by simply paying small amount cash down and
the balance on small monthly payments which
are made to suit their circumstances and are al
ways made so low that the money will hardly be
missed. This plan has become so popular in all
people now purchase their household goods that
way;-in fact all except the extreme wealthy class
es. Now the people of Rising Sun never have had
this opportunity offered them SO the Peoples
Instalment Company, Il9 and II9 Ia N Howard
Street. between Fayette and Lexington Sts.. Balti-
more, the largest and best conducted and most
reliable Instalment house in Baltimore, have de-
cided to allow any resident of Rising Sun or i'm
mediate vicinity the same advantage as the peo-
pie Of Baltimore now enjoy;-that is to sell them
anything which they may desire to have on the
lnstalment Plan at lowest cash prices and make
terms of payments low enough to suit any ones
convenience. This House not only sells every
thing in the way of Furniture. Carpets, Stoves,
Refrlgerators. Baby Carriages, Crockery, Cutlery,

during the day, could make itself heard
to all the great throng and thanking
them for their magnificent welcome, he
continued:
sNever since the Republican party

are alarmed. President Cleveland is
alarmed, the supporters of the Mills bill
are alarmed, the Democratic party is
alarmed, because they know the mighty
power of that most which earns its bread
by the sweat of the brow, and it will re-
sent the attempt to place them on the
low base of the European plane. We
will let the Democratic party know that
this is no fight for the manufacturer.
They can take care of themselves. But
this is fight for the strong arm and
the sturdy heart of the American
labOrer. If we have free trade, the fac
tories will not be closed; but if kept
open, they will be run at half the pres
ent wages. That is the issue which
SHOULD BE PRESSED HOME
on the Democratic party. They should

spirators against the welfare of every
laboring man. Let that be the issue
and the watchwOrd of Republicans and

Thanking the great gathering for its
reception, Mr.. Blaine withdrew. The
display of fireworks, which was eX-
ceedingly good, was then continued,

ABOUT THE HOTELS.
Democrats Begin to Gather for
Their Meeting.


Their Meeting.
Some dozen of the delegates to the
Democratic state convention arrived in
st. Paul last night. Hon. j. j. Furlong,
of Mower, preceded his delegation. He
said to the GLOBE:
''Our delegation is uninstructed, but
may favor Wilson. We shall wait,
though, and see the drift of the state
convention before deciding. We are
for harmony and united party. That
question takes precedence of the nom
nations. With chance to win we
must not neglect party unity. On the
DOran and anti-DOran issue we are di-
vided, but, as | said, we shall
follow the line that leads
to party unity. The Democrats
of our county are united on Thomas
Wilson for congress, and l believe he
will hold his old vote. But the fight
in the district will be hard one. Dun
nell is an old war-horse, and he knows
that it is his last chance"
p. j. Collier, of the WabaSha dele
CATION, is at hand. DR.. Vivian, of Alex
andria, put in an appearance last night.
A delegate walked up to Secretary
Miller, of the state central committee,
last night and handed him a copy of
Democratic resolutions passed at Min
neapOlis yesterday. Bob read them
through but made no comment. When
asked as to what he had to say, he
replied:
"NawthingH' in a tone of deep dis
gust, and silently walked away.
There will be tickets issued for en-
trance to the convention hall. They
will be delivered on Wednesday morn
ing about 10 o'clock.

LONDON, Aug. 13.The Times says it
is profoundly astonished at the step
Mr. Parnell has taken in bringing suit
against it in the Scotch courts. 1t says
that whether his action is seriously
meant or only designed to waste time
and money, the work of parliamentary
commission of inquiry will go OH unaf-
fected. The amount of damages
which Mr.. Parnell asks for in
his suit against the Times is ESQ, 600.
He bases his action on letters which the
Times published in 1887, and on letters
and statements introduced by the de-
fense in the trial of O'Donnell's case
against the Times. The trial will take
place before Lord Kinnear, of the court
of sessions in Edinburg. The st. James
Gazette surmiseS that Mr.. Parnell, when
asked to testify before the commission
OF inquiry, will refuse on the ground
that if he gave evidence before the COM
mission he would prejudice his suit
against the Times by disclosing his
case.

DEMOCRACY
Assemblies Tomorrow to Open a
Great Battle

Assemblies Tomorrow to Open a
Great Battle.
AT II o'clock tomorrow morning at
Market hall 359 delegates of the Demo-
cratic party of Minnesota will meet to
nominate the following state officers:
Governor, lieutenant governor, secre-
tary OF state, state treasurer. attorney
general, and two Justices of the su-
pTeme court; also seven presidential
electors.
Ihe candidates mentioned for the va
rlous offices up to the present writing
are:
Governor Eugene Wilson, A. A.
Ames, Edmund Rice.
Lieutenant Governor-A. Nelson, of
Rochester.
Secretary of State-James O'Brien, of
Saltwater.
State Treasurer-William Hamm, of
Attorney General-John w. Willis, of
st. Paul.
Justices Supreme Court-Judges Sew
erance, Lochren, Seagrave Smith, Flan-
drau.
There is to be chosen also new state
central committee.
There is a question to come before
the convention whether or not full
nominations shall be made for the su-
preme court seats.
Some think if the Republicans will
consent to the plan, it would be well
for the the Democrats to nominate one
judge and the Republicans the other,
and have no opposition to their election.
Others who two years ago opposed the
letting of these nominations go by de-
fault, think that the party should nomi
nate all the judges and let them stand
or fall on their merits.
In the case of the state electoral ticket
there is demand that the nominations
on it shall be men of wide-known repu-
tationS, capable orators, and ready to
go into the field at once for tariff re-
form.

The caucuses for the county conven-

LANCER has already had the effect to Gre
ate sympathy for the eX-war minister in
quarters where little if any considera-
ton had previously been extended to
him. Hitherto the efforts which have
been made in certain circles to crush
BOulanger by means of ridicule
and of belittling his Importance
as political factor have been success
full even beyond the most sanguine ex-
pectations of his enemies, but yester-
days attempt to assassinate him gives
the lie to those of his foes who pretend
to ignore him and raises him to the
plane of man to be feared. Did the
OppOrtunistS really hold BOulanger in

but would rather permit him to go his

PARIS, Aug. 13.-Gen. Boulanger re-
turned to Paris last night from his tour.
After an examination, the magistrates
of st. Jean D'Angely ordered the re-
lease from custody of Prof. Perrin, who
was charged with attempting to shoot
Gen. BOulanger during political fight
at that place. 1t is stated that Prof.
Perrin was knocked down by partisans
of Gen. Boulanger: that he fired at his
assailants in self defense, and that he
did not aim at Gen. Boulanger. Many
participants in the fight have been ar
rested.

No avowcd candidate is seeking the
nomination, but there are three gentle
men prominently mentioned for it.
They are Senator Thomas Bowen, of
Sleepy Eye; Hon. A. P. Pfau, of Man
kato, and ex-senator Morton S. Wilkin-

and strong timber. No contest exist,
between them for the nomination, and
whichever gets it will be evidently
chosen on an harmonious agreement of
the delegates present that he is the
strongest. The issue of the campaign
there is the tariff, and there are many
who think that with vigorous canvass

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Pail Mall
Gazette announced in its issue this
afternoon that Empress Frederick, of
Germany, has finally conceded to the
German authorities the right
to her late husbands papers
and assured Prince Bismarck
of their Immediate delivery
into the hands of the proper persons.
The reason of her maiesty's yielding is
stated to be threat made by Prince
Bismarck to delay the opening of the
late emperor's will until the papers
should be returned. AS the royal lady
depends wholly upon the provisions of
the will for future allowance, the
statement possesses elements of truth
which can not be ignored, since it is
in the power of the chancellor to post
pone the opening and reading of the
will Indefinitely in the absence of pos
tive order from the emperor to the
contrary-an order the kaiser would be
very unlikely to issue. Thus again it
would seem that her majesty's attempts
to coerce the iron chancellor have re-
suited in his coercing her.

FERDINAND RULES WISELY,
Yet He Must Get Up and Dust
When His Enemies Demand 1t.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Aug. 13.-The completion
OF the new Bulgarian railway system,
by which Paris and Constantin ople are
to be connected by an almost direct
route, is a feather in the cap of the
Prince Ferdinand, and will go long
way toward strengthening the already
firm hold which that ruler has been
able to secure upon popular regard. In
spite of the admitted illegality of
Prince Ferdlnand's position on the
throne at Sofia, he has managed
the affairs of the principality
with so remarkable a degree of tact
as to excite the admiration of even those
who still contend that he must sur
render his rulership. Certainly Bull
garla has made more internal progress
during the brief reign of Ferdinand
than she has ever displayed under any
other ruler, and if the welfare of that
unhappy country formed any part of the
ground on which change of govern
ment at Sofia is demanded the powers
demanding it would doubtless hesitate
about pushing matters further. But as
considerations entirely apart from any
desire to benefit the country are at the
bottom of the demands, no questions of
sentiment will be permitted to operate
in favor of the Cobourg prince when the
time arrives for his enemies to act.

THONIPSON'S BREAK,
Georgia Calls a Secret Merriam
Meeting.

Meeting.
The GLoBE-and the GLOBE alone
announces this morning the convening
of a most remarkable secret meeting in
the editorial rooms of the st. Paul Dis
patch at o'clock this afternoon.
Yesterday George L. Thompson issued
a typewriter circular to certain Nc
Gill and Merriam leaders in st. Paul.
The envelope in which this circular was
inclosed was marked PERSONAL and
"Confdential."
This circular in substance read as fol-
lows:
'sThere is common rumor af1Oat that
the gang intend to sell out the county
ticket for governor and the state ticket.
You are invited to be present this after
noon at meeting to be held in the edi-
torial rooms of the Dispatch at d. m.,
and at which steps will be taken to ex-
pose this scheme"
This circular was signed by George l..
Thompson and w. j. Freaney.
Just whom Mr.. Thompson meant by
the delicate term gang is matter of
conjecture. 1t may mean the Scheffer
men, but that seems doubtful since they
have the county solid without any neces-
sity of selling out the local ticket.
If it means what is termed the "gang"
in Democratic circles then there must be
mistake OH the part of Mr.. Thompson
OF broken bargain.
Some six months ago, as the story
goes, Mr.. Merriam called to him certain
alleged Democrats of st. Paul and told
them that If they would help him to
carry the county for himself he in re-
turn would assist their interests on the
county ticket this fall.
The general public must be left in the
dark as to who the ''gang" is until
Thompson's meeting is over.
Observers on Fourth and Cedar street
tomorrow afternoon between and 8
| o'clock will please take note of the
| string of prominent Republicans enter
| ing the Union block. Each one will be
labeled PERSONAL and Confidential" "
| so that they can be identified.
