MINNEAPOLIS.
THE EIGHTH WARD CASE.

1t will be to the interest of every tax
payer of Minneapolis, and especially of
every Eighth ward taxpayer, to read
the report of the committee which has
carefully investigated the financial con-
dition of that ward. 1t shows condi-
tion of affairs that is without parallel in
the history of the city. The aldermen
of the Eighth ward are ALBERT LAW
RENEE, GEORGE w. COOLEY and o. A.
SToNEMAN, and of their methods the
report speaks for itself. Something
must be done. There is no doubt
that, left to their own devices,
the alderman will pay the illegally con-
tracted debts out of the funds now
available, and plunge the ward still
deeper into debt. There is no law to
compel the comptroller to allow war
rants to issue, and it is believed he has
sufficient firmness to refuse, and in the
meantime plan of procedure may be
determined upon. The GLOBE has al
ready called attention to the fact that
the principal contracts for that
again urges the city officers to
make it their business, as it is already
their duty, to see that not cent is paid
out on any contract until fully exc
cuted and the bond properly filed. This
is not the end of the Eighth ward diff
Guilty, and it should not be. Somebody
is responsible for the looseness which
prevailed. There was at least looseness,
if not criminality; and in any case,
prompt action is necessary.

DROPPING LIKE LEAVES.

Republican candidates for congress in
the Fourth district are dropping away
like leaves from dead tree. First went
FLETCHER, then CLoUGH, and the turn
of SNIDER is awaited and expected.
The feeling is gaining ground that no
Republican can hope to defeat RICE,
and to save trouble and expense
candidates are retiring now. 1t is
useless and absurd to say that
FLETCHER and SNlDER got out
of the way simply because they
did not want the office. Some much
more powerful motive was behind their
declarations. 1t was reported last
night that SNIDER would probably de-
cline to-day and leave none but Judge
REA on the track. 1t appears that to
the judicial commander every Republi-
can hope is tied. They seem TO feel the al
most hopelessness of their cause. Why
not all Withdraw and make it unani-
nous for RICE?

DON'T LIKE BLAINE,
Frank Katton in Town-Shades of
Wiliyum Hennery Eustis!

Frank Hatton, eX-postmaster general
and founder of the Chicago Mail, was
in the city yesterday. Rumor has it
that he has been selected by A. j.
BIethen as the man who will stand at
the helm of the Journal and ''port hard"
in the storm of politics. The Hawkeye
journalist looks somewhat older than
when he last visited Minneapolis, a
circumstance that is not altogether sur
prising. since several years hrve elapsed
since he visited the Northwest. He had
very little to say in a politi-
cal way, further than that
he thinks Harrison and Morton
will be elected; although he does not
seem to be particularly enthusiastic
over the prospect. An evening paper
reports him as saying that Blaine was
almost wholly responsible for the exist
ence of solid South, which was brought
about by this trucking, dickering
policy inaugurated as soon as Garfield
began his administration" While not
denying this exactly, Mr.. Hatton, in
his conversation last evening, did not
take such radical grounds.
Perhaps he had eaten good dinner.
but more likely still he had learned
that Minneapolis is the home OF Will
yum Hennery EuStiS.

THE OTHER SIDE.
What Is Urged Against Both as
Candidates.

Here is the other side.
Those who oppose Wilson say he will
poll the full party strength, no more.
The Republicans harp about nominating
a clean candidate. but if Wilson should
be nominated, they would simply let
him alone and vote their own ticket.
He could not 60 out among the
laboring classes and the Scandi-
navians and win their votes, though he
might among the farmers. Then they
urge that DOran has SO strongly urged
him all over the state that he is known
as the candidate of the bosses, and
though Wilson had no voice in this, it
will hurt HIM in canvass.
The Wilson men say, Well, it is the
old story of Ames: that his nomination
will mean a campaign of mud flinging,
and the usual talk of the bum element
and the hoodlums. Many Democrats
say they are tired of being tied to
Ames' coat-tails and labeled Ames'
men, without thanks or gratitude.
In all of this talk there is little bitter
ness, and it is understood among both,
that in any case the party will unite in
support of the nominee. Ames has
publicly declared this, and Wilson, who
the same. 1t is also understood that all
hands are to be kept out of
county politics, and no favoritism
to be shown on any side in
building the county and city tickets.
What may be the effect of the first
county convention it is difficult to de-
termine, but the friends of all factions
are awaiting it with no feeling stronger
than curiosity,
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-07-29
HOW ABOUT sCHEFFER
Hennepin Totally Unprepared for
the New Emergency.


For three days the Democracy of Hen
nepin has been totally nonplussed. The
unexpected developments in Ramsey
have taken them aback and they are
asking each other, what does it mean?
The friends of Ames have confidently
expected the support of Ramsey, and
the opposition of Scheffer bObbing up
so confidently has raked them fore
and aft. Ten days ago party of st.
Paul Demo Gratis came over to see Mayor
Ames and arrange plan by which he
should pull off the track and run for
congress, leaving everything open for
the coup d'etat which was to place
Scheffer at the head of the ticket. They
argued and explained and Illus
rate. He would not run for
congress and he would not pull off the
track. Scheffer was not a Democrat
anyhow, and how could they nominate
him? The st. Paul party went home.
Since then the Scheffer idea got about
in Minneapolis and was eagerly dis
cuSSed, though as a scheme rather than
probability. When the news came
from st. Paul on Friday it set Min
neapoliS by the ears and re-
doubled the buzz of speculation.
The question is purely one Of
utility. Hennepin county will stick to
Ames, and the question is, what will it
do if it becomes apparent that Ames
cannot be nominated? There are mis-
sionaries now at work for the Scheffer
movement, and they use this argument:
"Scheffer must say on the eve OF the
convention that he is already on the
Democratic platform and cannot stand
on the Chicago platform and sup
port Harrison and Morton. TO all
intents and purposes he is
already Democrat, and needs only the
formal expression. What we want is a
man to carry the state, and we believe
Scheffer can do that and elect the
Cleveland electoral ticket"
For the present Hennepin seems dis
posed to await results, and in the mean
time is open to argument. The delega-
ton will certainly be Ames, and will
vote as unit, but when it gets to the
convention that unit will be cast with
the majority. That is certain.

DISMANTLED CONCERNS.
Orders of Court Entered in Two
Assignment Cases,

Several of the creditors of the Empire
Coffee and Spice company, which is now
in the hands of an assignee, yesterday
applied to the court for an order
compelling p. V. Wiggins, the
former president of the company.
and Turner w. Whitehouse, the
former secretary, to o-appear In court and
tell what became of large amount of
property of the company which it is
claimed suddenly disappeared about the
time the assignment was made.
The order was granted by the court
and Thomas E. Newlove was appointed
to take the disclosures of Virgins and
Whitehouse.
On Friday the stock of goods formerly
belonging to James Hickey, the Nicollet
avenue dealer in wall paper who made
an assignment short time ago for the
benefit of his creditors, was sold at
auction to his wife for $2,01O. YeSter-
day the assignee applied to the court
for an order confirming the sale, but
met with considerable opposition from
counsel for the creditors. who stated to
the court that the auctioneer had
knocked off the stock to Mrs. Hickey
without warning for much less than
what it could have been sold for. The
court, however, signed the order con-
firming the sale.

RANDOM REMARKS.

Ace p. Abell-I think Bill King is
good man to run for Canda, but very
poor man to run for mayor.
G. A. Higley-The Republicans must
be pretty badly scared or they would
not talk about getting up citizens

City Clerk Cornman-I shall adver-
tise tomorrow for 600 new ballot boxes.
We have 200 on hand, but we will need
seven boxes this year where we needed
one before.
Col. c. r. Hill-There is no doubt that
young Bicknell'S drowning at Lake

arms, as they were both bent and could
hardly be drawn down to his sides when
he was taken from the water,

WILSON AND AMES.
How Each Stands With Regard to
His Candidacy.

Wilson and Ames are both mascots,
though from different causes, not neces-
sary to be specified. Practically they
are both avowed candidates for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Wilson put himself in just this position
to a GLOBE reporter:
''In the sense of seeking the office,
asking any man to support me OF work
ing for any delegation, am not a can
didate. If the convention with any
degree of unanimity, desires me to be
the candidate, I will make the race,
though my personal preference would
be keep out of it. l do not regard Mr..
Doran as especially my friend other
than on the ground of political avail
ability, and we stand simply as Demo.
crat to Democrat. That is my position" :"
1t is considered by his friends that for
Mr.. Wilson to accept nomination is
equivalent to his saying he believes he
can carry the state. One said: Eugene
Wilson is both far-sighted and lucky,
and if he says he will run you may
know he thinks. and with good reason,
he will win. He is not the man to go
into losing fight"
The position of Ames is better known.
He is candidate in the sense he always

CLoUGH CRAWFIsHEs.
The Senator and ParIiamentarian
Is Out of the Race.
Dave Clough
But his little bluff
Was a. trihe Tough

Is up to snuff.
But his little bluff
Was trifle tough.
The announcement that d. M. ClOugh
had decided to run for congress did not
create even wave on the political sea,
and his letter of withdrawal, which reads
as though he had dictated it to a fe-
male typewriter, was only the bursting
of bubble which he himself inflated.
Mr.. Clough had little strength in the
northwestern part of the district where
down to water in his bOyhOod days.
However, Mr.. Clough declared himself
in with the congressional race for con-
greSS. Now he declares himself out of it.
This is privilege due to any American
who is qualified to vote, and If Mr..
Clough pleaSeS to run for congress and
then decides not to, no more fault is to
be found with him than if he decided
to run hundred-yard foot race and
suddenly discovered that he would
rather go to bed.
In fact one contest would cut about as
much figure as the other in Minnesota
politics.
Still, Mr. Clough has withdrawn and
in so doing pays tribute of respect to
''Hon. Loren Fletcher" which reads
like an epitaph on tombstone in
country graveyard. He had considered
Mr.. Fletcher the strongest, ablest and
best qualified" man to represent the
Fourth district in congress"
Poor Clough! Imagine what a disap-
pOintment it must have been to learn
that the great and good Loren could not
be prevailed upon to accept nOmina-
tion for which he has worked and spent
money the last ten years.
Mr.. Clough, when pressed by his
amanuensis, naively admits that the
by af1fgng rends support entirely uesoegh 1esaegfd
would insure easy success, etc,
ETC., has been a strong inducement to
meet their desires, etc., ETC."
The public will, nevertheless, al
though it has been, or almost as might,
he said, dispoiled of the pleasure of vot-
ing to place Mr.. Clough in congress, be
glad to learn that the kindness of
friends who rendered their support is
appreciated, and Twill never be forgot
ten"
THERE'S still one cheerful ray of hope,
and flash of light which shoots ath-
warth the bosom of the lake of despair.
Mr.. Clough will not withdraw his ''in-
terest from the canvass" In the choice
vernacular Of the 50-cents per line
write-up. in which his letter of with
drawal is couched, he says he will "be
found at the old stand"
How truly nice!

The stage setting of her majesty's
ship. which was notable feature of the
former production, will be reproduced
with some improvements.
Next week rounds up the first year of
the Peoples theater's history, and one
week from tonight the second regular
season will begin. The members of the
new company are nearly all in town
to-day. They have been arriving all
the week in answer to Stage Manager
Harrison's call for the first rehearsal.
The new company has good leader in
Theodore Hamilton. He is a gentleman
of fine appearance, and his ability is
known in all parts OF the country. He
has been acting for thirty years. Dur
Ing that time he has supported all the
American stars now living,and recently
he has been starring himself. In the
title role of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" he finished a very successful en-
gagement in Washington last Saturday.
Miss Oganta Booth, who is related to
the great Booths. will share leading
roles with Miss Wellesly. The new.
company comprises eighteen members.
The draught of ''Peck's Bad Boy' at
the Pence opera house the past week
has been phenomenal. Torrid weather
is conducive to the production of farces,
and the comedians prospered and the
audiences laughed at great rate this
week. The coming week at the Pence
will be marked by the presentation of
two plays. The first half of the week
beginning to-nighD will be given the
romantic comedy drama 'Mountain
Pink" In this piece are cast Miss Rod
gers, Miss Beck. Barbour and Scully.
Commencing Thursday the powerful
melodrama, ''Waiting for the Verdict"
will be revived, with the full strength
of the stock company. Manager Book
promises some novelties in the near
future. The company has now begun
to work very smoothly together, ,and the
Pence is leading the van of the cheap
theaterS for finished performances.

is: He will do no work, undertake no
organization and influence no delega-
ton, and will, in fact, go into the state
convention knowing nothing of how it
stands. His friends claim he is en-
titled to the nomination after his Won
derful run of last year aud are con-
fident he can sweep the state
and carry through the Cleveland eIecto-
raj vote. Others wont him nominated
solely as against Doran and Kelly, as a
rebuke to the former for using the ma
chinery of the committee to further his
own ends.
This is about how Ames and Wilson

One more opportunity is to be given
Minneapolis theater-goers of seeing

Opera company, which produced the
opera at the Peoples last May, will sing
it again next week at that theater. The

the Peoples first year. All who at
tended the production in April remem-

performance, and the theater manage

business success. With the
experience of eight public per-
