HISCOCK AT THE HELM.
The Eminent Syracusan Brings
the Mob Into Line,

CHICAGO, June 22.-Time had run
along to 11:15, when Senator Hiscock.
acting as chairman, said: 1.-THE first
proceeding in convention will be prayer
by Rev. j. III. WOrchester, of this city.
Rev. Mr.. Worchester advanced to the
desk and offered the following prayer:
Let ms pray. Lord God of Hosts who
holdest the destin1es of nations by Thine
hand, without whose favor we cannot pros
per; before whose frown we cannot stand !;
we praise Thee for Thy signal favor to this
nation through all its history for the heri-
tage ch.Thou hast given us, for the chas-
tisements with which Thou had disciplined
us, for the deliyeranceS which Thou has
granted US, and for the human instruments
through whose wisdom, courage and self
sacrifices those deliverances havecome. To-
day, Lord, our God, be with us, as Thou was
with our fathers. Guide thou the
DEsTINIES OF THIS NATION
in the days to come. Still further urge us
from iniquity, eXalt us i'll righteousness, and
make our trust now and evermore TO be only
in Thee. Guide Thou the work this day.
May the spirit that rules this hour be not the
spirit of narrow partlsanship, but of broad
patriotism. May unworthy motives and sell
fish ambitions have no place here. May
there be no doing of evil that good may come.
May there be sense of responsibility to
Thee. to whom all must give account, and
may the righteousness of this exalted nation
be conspicuously honored in the methods
of this convention and in its choice.
May it please the Almighty God,
who directs the minds of men,
to direct the minds of men this day as they
shall propose man for the suffrages of this
great people, that those thus set forth may be
a man after Thine own heart eminent in
wisdom, spotless in character, worthy to be
exalted 10 the high dignity and to bear the
great responsibility of the highest Office in
the gift of this nation. and may the final out
come of all that is here done be in further
ance of truth. of justice. of freedom, of equal
rights, of safety of government, of peace
within and without. and above and beyond
all, greater glory of Thy most holy name,
which We ask through Jesus Christ ,.our Lord.
Amen.

Mr.. Depew announced his withdrawal
in much the same terms that he spoke

that as Harrison was the only man who

of this action was quickly carried into

MOMENTS OF SUSPENSE.
The First Test of the Strength of
the Field of Aspirants.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 22.-At the conclusion
of the invocation Senator Hiscock an
nounced that the regular order of busi-
ness was the call of the roll of states
and territories for the selection of a
candidate for president. Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts,, asked that the rule
bearing on the subject be read by the
secretary, which was done. The secre-
tary then proceeded with the call of the
roll of states. When Louisiana was
called one of the cOlOred delegates de-
manded poll of the delegation, and
the result was as follows: Alger, 2; Al
lison, 3; Depew, L; Gresham. l; Sher-
man, 9. After the vote of Minnesota
had been announced, Mr.. Steenerson,
of the delegation, demanded that the
state be polled. The result was un-
changed, Chandler voting with Hartley
for Depew. When the vote of Tenne-
see was announced poll of the state
was in demand. The request was
greeted with Kisses. When the poll be-
gan one of the delegates arose to ques-
ton of privilege, and said he was here
under positive instruction to
VOTE FOR BLAINE.
A delegate called attention to the
fact that the Tennessee delegates were
not speaking on question Of privilege
and was violating the rules. The chair
sustained the point of order. The poll
was completed. and resulted in one vote
less for Blaine and its transfer to
Gresham.
During the calling of the roll the con-
vention was at first disposed to become
boister0us, and to cheer the votes as
they were announced. There was a
very enthusiastic outbreak when Cali
fornia voted solidly for Blaine, but
finally having found that these demon
stratiOnS were delaying the announce
ment. of the result, the conventions
curiosity overcame its enthusiasm.
| The
CONFUSION ABATED
and the call proceeded in good order.
Polls were demanded for the Mime
| sofa, the Pennsylvania, the Tennessee
and the Virginia delegations. When
Virginia was reached in the roll of
states, demand was at once made for a
|. poll of the delegation. During the poll
Senator Riddleberger, Notwithstanding
the sharp rapS of the chairman's gavel,
| when his name was called, arose and
said he would have voted for Blaine if
he had been nominated, but, as his
name had not been presented, he voted
| for Allison. This violation of the rules
| of the convention was allowed to go in
| the senator's case without rebuke. The
result of the ballot was then announced:

than by their words it didn't take me
long to conclude that the attempted

ated In the Blaine camp, and was part
OF a scheme to further the Blaine move

Harrison the impossibility of his NOM

A PLAIN STATEMENT.
Two Farmers Tell the Globe What
They Know.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, June %, 19ss.--Editor
st. Paul Globe.-Dear Sir: An agent named
S. S. Peice, representing the st. Paul Life as
sociation, of ST. Paul, Mimi, wrote applica.
hons for US and several farmers in our
neighborhood. They represented to us that
they had over 5000 paying members and
had $4,000 bonds deposited with Hon.
Charles Shandrew, insurance commissioner
The agent said: 1.-The association paid
$1,000 on death of any policy-holder" He
also showed us several mems names on a cir
cular from ST. Paul indorsing the company.
He told US DR.. Stein, of Cottage Grove would
examine US for 81 each. We called to see
the doctor who he stated would examine
us for 81. The doctor told us he wouldn't
examine us for less than So each. The doc
tor, being an honorable man, wouldn't have
anything to do with the concern. and stated
that the agent had lied to us, and we ought
to have him arrested for misrepresentation if
he wouldn't give up the notes. We came to
st. Paul to find out about it. and went to An
drew Schoch, whose name they advertised as
reference. Mr. Schoch told us he would not
1ndorse the company, and had published no.
tices in the papers that the company had no
right or authority to use his name in connec-
ton with it. The agent. Price, has our notes
for $50 each and when we found out that
the company was misrepresented we tele-
graphed to the Hastings bank not to buy our
notes. and we hereby notify the public that
our notes were taken under false representa-
tions and we have not got value received and
will not pay the notes.
FRIEDRICH NIERMANN,
GEoRG SoNTAG,
Cottage Grove.
In justice to Messrs. Nelson and
Viguers, of the association, it is only
fair to state that while their names
head the association, they draw no
salary from it, have no financial interest
in it, and the business, with the excep-
tion of the keeping of the books, is in
the hands of E. B. Watson, general
manager. Mr. Nelson is well known,
and states emphatically, as does Mr.
Viguers also, that the association tries
to secure responsible agents and has
always done square business. Their
reputation should be a guarantee of
that, but there is a screw loose some
where.

All Lights in the Great Audi
tOpium are Turned
Out,
Leaving the Convention, in
More Than One Sense,
in Darkness.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The Republican
national convention tonight after three
fruitless ballots, heard the greatest
spokesman ever had by James.G Blaine,
speak with all the might at his COM
mand against the man from Maine. A
babel ensued. The proceedings in the
great hall turned in to farce so huge
that it is doubtful if ever there was so
extraordinary an anti-climaX. All
the lights in the auditorium
were put out and the
convention was in more than one sense
completely in the dark, and left to help
itself out as best it could. No less a
person than Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
was the speaker against Blaine. The
speech in its delivery and in its recep-
ton by the audience was nothing short
Of magnificent, while the great Or
ator confined himself to the theme
Of the Republican party's glory
but, along with the cheers, there were
signs of dissent from some of the dele
gates, and particularly the spectators,
when he began indicate plainly that
there had been
CHANGE IN HIS OLD CHOICE
for the presidency. This became very
plain when Ingersoll advocated with
emphasis ticket composed of
two soldiers. Then he went
on further and mentioned for
leader Walter Q. Gresham. He got
no farther. A marvellous mixed shout of
Blaine, Sherman, Alger, Allison,
Harrison rose in giant discord that
made each component unrecognizable.
Rally the convention had adjourned
before Ingersoll began speaking, but as
amatter of fact no one had left the
hall every one wishing to hear such a
celebrity. Many of the delegates, par
hcularly those from Kansas, Maine,
Ohio, Massachusetts, Indiana and
Pennsylvania vacated the seats. A
large banner with
''BLAINE AND PROTECTION"
npon it was lifted up from the seats of
the California delegation, and its exhi-
bition was loudly cheered. Ingersoll
looked on grimly at first and smiled, but
finally withdrew just as the Californians
were rushing to the platform one of
their delegates, John Fitch, to answer for
Blaine. Old Fred Douglass headed off
Fitch and spoiled tableau effect by in
Producing just in time a stentor-
voiced actor, who drowned all confusion
with the famous lines of 'Sheridan's
Ride" and Fetch's opportunity was
gone, and his speech was turned
to ridicule. People in scores
ran up near where the
was speaking wholly regardless of his
presence, intent only on grabbing
flowers and bits of decoration
rs relics. Then the lights went
out and Mr.. Fitch quit. In
remarkable contrast with all this was the
speech of Chauncey NJ. Depew only a few
moments before, Withdrawing, with all
the grace and force. and. good taste of a
polished gentleman his name from
the list of candidates for the presi-
dency. The greatest surprise of the
day, and one evidently much in Mr.
Depew's favor, was the fact that he
gave no indication whatever of de.
sire, if possible, if he could not get the
nomination himself. who the candidate
should be.

The GLOBE cordially invites every
farmer, laboring man, business or pro-
fessional man, and the country newspa-
pers to cooperate with it in its endeavor
to expose fraudulent assessment life
Insurance, and to secure the passage by
the next legislature of an insurance law
that will accomplish these results:
Root out companies that exist by
fraud.
Protect those companies that seek to
do an honest business.
Guard the interests of the widows and
orphans in insurance.
Give the insurance commissioner am
pie authority to compel companies to
obey the law or be squelched.
The GLOBE desires every person in
this state who has been swindled by as
sessment insurance agents, who has a
complaint or grievance caused by fraud
ulent insurance, or who knows of in
stances of Misrepresentation and f1aud-
ulent eXtortiOn of money by agents, to
write to it, stating the circumstances,
time of occurrence, name of company
and agent and all other important de-
tails. The GLOBE will give fair cur
rency to. these statements. 1t has
chosen as one of its campaign issues in
the interest of the people this matter of
fraudulent assessment insurance, and it
proposes, as far as lies in its power, to
arouse public sentiment on the subject
until the next legislature will not dare
to pass an inefficient law as Previous
ones have, nor to ignore the subject.
Assessment life insurance, as practiced
in Minnesota to-day, is in the main one
of the greatest frauds imposed
upon the farmers that there is.
And the source OF this fraud
is too often in the agents
of the companies. There are honorable
and straight-dealing assessment insur-
ance companies, but the bad ones out
number them two to one. All who are
interested then help the GLOBE to rec
tify great abuse.

1T PANIED THE ICEBERGERs,
Sherman's Vote Did Not Pan Out
as Was Hoped For.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The result was
disappointment to the Sherman people,
who had hoped that the increase in the
vote for him from Pennsylvania would
put him up to nearly 800 votes, but he
lost in other places, and the anti-Sher-
man combination began to claim that
the Ohio senator's vote would soon go
to pieces. As the vote on the third bal
lot proceeded there was little change in
the Sherman vote, which everybody
was watching, and there were no no.
ticeable changes in the voting for the
other candidates. California continued
to cast her solid vote for Blaine, and
Massachusetts, still distributed her vote
among nearly all the candidates.
GreSham'S vote increased, but not ma
terially.
When Pennsylvania was reached,
Senator Quay announced the vote of the
state, casting So votes for Sherman, as
before. and the other ten scattering.
Mr. Johnston demanded a poll of the
delegation, which proceeded, much to
the
DISGUST OF THE CONVENTION.
The poll did not affect the result as
announced by Senator Quay, and the
ballot was proceeded with. AS usual.
when Virginia was reached, demand
was made that the delegation be polled.
Gen. Fairchild, of Wisconsin, made the
point of order that a call for poll conld
not be made until the vote had been an
nounced and objection was made to it's
correctness. Mr.. Wise arose and eX-
planned that the Virginia delegation had
been unable to get together and select
chairman to speak for the delegation.
1t had been therefore agreed that When-
ever the state was reached the delega-
tiOn be polled. He asked for unanimous
consent that this should hereafter be
the practice. Consent was given. The
tesult of the ballot was then announced.

GLOBE asks the farmers of Minnesota
to turn in and fight for good insurance
THEIR METHODS.
How Organized, and the Business
Done,

NOW OfSanlZeu, anu Cue BUSINESS
Done.
To organize an assessment insurance
company is an easy trick, requiring no
money-only ingenuity. In Minnesota,
where law affords the farmer no pro-
lection, to foist an assessment company
upon him requires only sleight of hand.
The first thing necessary for the COM
pany is the use of three or four names
that sound well. These become the
general officers of the company. Their
duties are about the same as figure
heads. They lend an air of respectable
ity to the organization, and when rolled
off of the tongue of cute agent, the
farmer beams all over. Of course he
knows the names mentioned. He has
read of them in the daily papers,
and now that he knows their relations
to the company soliciting his insurance,
great entrance into his confidence is
secured. The more prominent the
name is the better the organizer of the
company likes it. Often reputable
business meu who know no more of life
insurance than a hen does, ARE induced
by plausible representations to become
the figure-head presidents and vice
presidents of assessment companies
IHdG dlG llOtillIlS llOIt HUI ltSS GIldll Out-
rageOuS Swindles,
The company or association being Or
ganiZed in this manner, it is ready for
business as soon as doctor is procured
and S21 paid into the state treasury, on
receipt of which, whether its purpose is
to swindle or not, the state is forced to
give it certificate stating that it is an
association in good standing, having
complied with all the laws of the state.
There is another bait for the farmer.
How can he doubt the soundness and
honesty of an assessment association
that shOves under his nose certificate
from the state that reads:
81, Charles Shandrew, insurance
commissioner of the state of Mime
sofa, do hereby certify that the Great
Western Friendly and Benevolent as
sociation is duly organized under the
laws of this state and is authorized to
transact business as an assessment as
sOciation, in accordance with the laws
thereof
The farmer, nine times out of ten, is
the victim of assessment swindles. His
gullibilitY, ignorance of the laws, in
ability to verify assertions make him
easy prey for sharp agents and con-
sciencelesS associations. There are 100
assessment associations in Minnesota,
whose average annual receipts from
policy, membership and annual due
fees is certainly not less chan $4,000,
or grand total of S3,000,000. How
much of this comes through misrepre-
sentation and fraud and goes to COM
panieS that have no financial or busi-
ness standing, the GLOBE proposes to
show in the next few weeks.
