NO NoN-PARTIsAN BOARDS.

The Republicans have appointed CON-
mittees to confer with like Democratic
committees relative to the nomination
of candidates for the several city boards.
But if the GLOBE is familiar with the
temper of the Minneapolis Democrats
they will not at this time meet the Re
publicans for this purpose. At
this critical period there is
nothing to be gained by nOn-parti-
san nominations. Each convention can
select just as competent men for the
boards as could be named by commit
tees, and there is no more or stronger
reason that the minor boards should be
taken out of politics than the city cOun-
ell. From a Democratic standpoint, it
is better to fight out the entire ticket
at the polls. The nomination of
Democratic candidates for the boards
increases the personal interest
in the success of the ticket and deepens
the fight; and experience shows that
the warmer the fight and the more gen.
eral the interest, the better the result
for the Democrats. The Republicans
would gladly eliminate these boards
from the contest. They would gladly
reduce the fight on all hands. if they
could, as they know that a general
fight means a broader Democratic vic

WINSTON FOB MAYOR.

The next mayor of Minneapolis will
be named to-day at the Democratic con-
vention-Phillip B. Winston. He will
be the next mayor because the city is
Democratic-now more Democratic than
overland he will poll the full strength
of the party. He will be the next
mayor because he is an admirable eX-
ponent of every quality that is COM
bined in a good executive. He is a
young man and successful, man and
his best years have been spent in grow
ing up and growing greater with the
city of Minneapolis. he represents in
himself all of these qualities which its
loyal people claim are attributes of this
city. He is the imperSOnation of North
western enterprise, energy, progress
BiveneSs and aggressiveness and will
give the city an honest, clean
and progressive administration. He
stands for the infusion of young blood,
and is the representative of the
strength, ardor and enthusiasm of youth
which have done so much for Mime
apolis. His character is above re-
prOach and his reputation without a
shadow. His nomination will say to
the people: "Come, let us push Min
neapolis forward in the race" He is
the man the masses want and he will
be elected.

THE YEOMEA OF THE CITY
Democratic City Convention, This
Morning.
A CONTEST FOR CHAIRMAN.
The Republicans For Hicks--Alder-
manic Hustling-- Political
Notes.

The Democratic city convention will
be held at Turner hall at 10 O'Clock this
morning. The convention will be an
unusually large one, and on that &C
count it has been decided to admit only
delegates to the floor of the hall. Admis-
sion will be by tickets, which may be
obtained from ward committeeman. The
convention promises to be an interesting
one, but whether it will be memorable
or not depends upon circumstances. 1t
is pretty well understood that a warm
fight will take place over the chairman
ship, but only few believe 1t Will be
carried on with anything like bad feel
ing. Last night there were four OF five
different caucuses held at as many
popular resorts of the politicians and the
matter was canvassed in general and
lively style. 1t is believed Mayor Ames,
Col. Glenn and G. NJ. FOote will all
three be in the field for chairman, and
lively three-cOrnered row may result,
but as none of the trio is regularly
elected delegate, all may be shut out of
the preliminary organization. 1t is put
fair to say that it appears that none OF
the three has entered the field as an
active candidate, but each has been
champiOned by his friends.
The work of the convention will be
singularly harmonious as far as the
ticket is concerned. Public sentiment
has already crystalliZed on p. B. Win
ston for mayor, F. q. HOlbroOk for
comptroller and T. j. Buxton for treas
urer. Mr.. Buxton has never announced
his willingness to run, but it is believed
he would not refuse a nomination ii 1t
came in the form of call to duty. In
case he should decline imperatively it
is probable s. A. March will receive the
nomination.
The convention may be bothered
somewhat when it comes to nominate
municipal judges. Friends of Judge
Rand and Judge LELAND were very
numerous yesterday. and distinct
movement is on foot to nominate
Judge Bailey. the present incumbent,
whom the Republicans overlooked.
Judge Mahoney's friends are max
ing strong case for him. They
said he came out squarely as a Demo
crat, and in the face of that the Repub-
licanS nominated him, so that he played
the part of a man and Democrat
throughout. A strong feeling IN favor
of his nomination is being worked up.
j. II. Long, G. f. Baxter, w. G. HOllinS,
A. j. Shores, and several others are also
in the field, with their friends huStling
hard for them.

HICKS GETS 1T.
The Hennepin Delegation Prac-
ticaIly Solid for Him.

The meeting of the committee APP
pointed at the Republican county con-
vention to select delegates to the judi
cial convention to be held tomorrow,
was held at the Union league rooms
yesterday afternoon. JIG. Worrall, the
chairman, called the committee to
order, and after reading the action
of the convention in creating the COM
mittee appointed G. j. lockwood chair
man. That gentleman declined to
serve, and w. p, Roberts was appointed
chairman. Roberts is a rampant HICKS
man, and MIR. Worrall was probably
actuated by pouS desire to give the adj
herents of Hicks all the rope they
wanted. W. E. Hall. S. L. Brearley,
A. j. Smith, G. p. Preston and G. E.
Evans were appointed a committee on
credentials, and after recess the COM
mittee went into an executive session.
The Hicks men were in the majority,
but nevertheless they were afraid to
allow motion offered by +. +. Davis
to prevail by which the selection of the
delegates would be left to the respective
ward representatives composing the
committee. Davis said that the county
convention refused to leave the appoint
ment of delegates to the chairman,
according to precedent, because 1t
was claimed each ward should
be given voice in the selection of the
committee. He thought the same rule
should hold good in this case, and
each ward should be allowed to select
its own delegate.
This was horse of another color, and
the motion was then defeated by
vote of a to rs, which indicated
the relative strength of the
Hicks and anti-Hicks factions.

To=nAY,s CONVENTION.

The Democratic convention will as
semble to-day to name a city ticket.
The indications are that it will be an
orderly, enthusiastic gathering of Demo-
Gratis. SO far as the ticket is concerned
the large majority of delegates is of one
mind, and there is no occasion for an
outbreak of any character, but at the
same time the old factious disposition
Is liable to crop out at any
moment and make trouble. 1t is alto
gether possible that contest for chair
man may occur, but there is, in this, no
occasion for bad feeling. The vote will
settle everything and the result should
be accepted. The Republicans would
too willingly see a disturbance, but
there are enough loyal Democrats who
are delegates to the convention, to see
that all such hopes are disappointed.
The convention will turn out mag
nificent ticket, but the convention itself
should set an example of orderly en-

son and A. p. Chesley. The First ward
will send a cOnteSting delegation.
L. E. Byrnes, president of the Repub-
licaan League of Minnesota, has issued
call for convention of all the Repub-
lican clubs in the state, to be held at
the Peoples theater Wednesday, Oct
II, at noon. The objects of the conven-
ton are to devise the best means of eX-
tending the Republican club organiza-
ton of the state, and to agree upon a
general plan of campaign work. 1t is
expected that the convention will be
large one.
The delegates to the Democratic city
convention convened at 900 Third ave-
nue. northeast yesterday afternoon and
unanimously Endorsed John Kerr, the
present alderman, for the f0ur-year
term, and William Finn and Martin
Aaberg for the two-year term. The
delegation is for Winston for mayor and
March for treasurer.
A Tribune correspondent at WinOna
writes that he is not going to vote the
Democratic state ticket. as he thinks
the question of nationality has been rec
Ognized in its makeup. He is an Irish
man and thinks their nationality has
been ignored, and paradoXically deter
lived in Minneapolis he would doubtless
find comfort in the fact that Dem
Ocrat was nominated by the Republicans
for judge of the municipal court "be-
cause he is an Irishman, and we need
the Irish vote this year," as w. p. Rob-
ertS, who seconded the nomination, very

Emma Abbott and her grand English
opera company presented The Mikado"
to a goOdly sized audience at the Grand
opera house last night. Miss Abbott
made her temperance as Yum Yum,
and received numerous encores. The
artistic is IN excellent voice. and her
solos were most eXcellently rendered.
Tonight Bohemian Girl" will be pre-

the organization.
The French comedy drama entitled
"a Woman of the People" was given
its second presentation at the Peoples
theater last evening, before another ex-
cellent audience. Theodore Hamilton
as Bertrand, the absolute husband, does
some very good work, though the scope
of the part is limited. Miss Wellesley,
as Madelaine, "a Woman OF the PeO-
pie" is seen to good advantage. The
performance this afternoon will be the
FIRST of the souvenir matinees," which
are to be regular thing on Tuesdays
this season. Every lady purchasing a
reserved seat will receive a handsome

BEAUTY LOSES n TRICK.
The Father Brings the Wife Back
Her Strange Story.

Her Strange Story.
The last trick in the Eek elopement
case was won yesterday by Papa Car
Isle, the father of the beauty's youth
full wife, but Eek will be on deck to-day
and may have trump card back. 1t
will be remembered that Eek wrote the
GLOBE from Chicago. announcing with
a great flourish of trumpets that his
wife had accompanied him to that city.
The inference of it was that Eek was all
right in the divorce proceedings, but
yesterday morning Mrs. Eek returned
from Chicago, accompanied by her
father, and a new face is put on the af-
fair. The youthful wife of the 'cyclist
tells thrilling story. She says she re-
ceived a note signed NV: D." telling
her to ''come to his Office at 10 o'clock"
Surprising it to be from w. H. DOna-
hue, her attorney, she went down
street. On NlcOllet avenue she met
her husband, accompanied by two
other men. He took her arm, and be-
fore she could realize what was in
tended, she was hustled into hack
and drawn to the Union depot, where
they took O Wisconsin Central train for
Chicago. Her husband left her for a
moment and she started to go out, but
was restrained by the cOlored porter.
When they arrived at Chicago, Eek
telegraphed her father to send trunk
of clothing to her address. Papa Car
Isle, who fused to be constable down
in Maine," and knows a hawk from a
hand-saw, put up ruse. He sent an
empty trunk and followed it TO Chicago,
meeting his daughter and Eek at the
address given. Eek skunk away like a
whipped hound" said Papa Carlisle,
and the latter brought his daughter back
to Minneapolis.
This story has many very gauzy open
ings in it, especially those relating to
the abduction, though the wife admits
she was too confused to remember any
thing or do much. w. Ii. Donahue is
conducting the divorce case. Wilson 81
Lawrence appearing for Eek. The
case was set for Saturday next.

1T COMES AT LAST.
And Up Goes the Price of Bread
TO Seven Cents.


The long-expected rise in the price
of bread has come at last, and now every
person who goes into store to buy the
necessary of life will have to put up z
cents, instead of or 5, as in days gone
by. At the last meeting of the bakers
the following letter was drawn up, and
has been sent to every retail dealer and
grocery in the city:
At meeting of the Minneapolis Bakers
association. held Saturday, Oct. q, 1883. it
was resolved to put the following prices into
effect Wednesday morning, Oct. 10, 1888:
Common white bread. wholesale, 5I2c per
loaf; retail &c per loaf; rolls, doughnuts and
all small cakes and cookies. not less than l0c
per dozen wholesale, and 12c per dozen re-
tail; plain cookies. not less than 10c per
dozen wholesale, and 22c per dozen retail;
plain cookies, by the boX, not less than loo
per dozen wholesale, and l2c per dozen re-
tail.
1t was resolved to make no advances in
prices of rye bread, Swedish rye bread, or
pumpernicke as materials used in their
manufacture have not advanced in price
very much. We are compelled to make
the above changes IN prices by the
fact that flour has advanced from
the last sixty days-lard from SIS to J. lac
per pound within eighty days, with general
advance in price of sugar, butter, eggs, fuel,
ETC.. and also on account of the bread ordi
nance Just introduced into the city council,

A Large Local Stock Exchange

Pressy, Wheeler & Co., the grain
brokers doing business on Third street,
near First avenue south, have gone to
the wall, leaving a large number of
spectators to mourn quantity of lost
Doodle. When the place opened
yesterday morning a big announce
ment chalked on the blackboard
gave notice that the firm had sus-
pended, and could not pay one cent to
anyone. There were large number of
man present when the house was
opened, and, as most of them had gone
there to pull out the proceeds of their
''spec," there was any amount of kick
ing. The firm claims that the collapse
is due to the failure of some of the GUS
toners to put up their margins after
deals had been made, and the firm had
protected the customer until he was
wiped out. The firm has lost about
$4,000 by putting up margins for
trusted customers this way, it
is said, and now are in bad
shape. Mr.. Wheeler said yesterday
that he thought that in a short time the
firm would be able to pay 100 cents on
the dollar. On the other hand it is
claimed that Pressy, Wheeler & Co., in
stead of being members of the Chicago
board of trade, as they claimed, have
been simply running a big "bucket
shop" and working sinch game. 1t
is further claimed that the firm had no
faith in December wheat, and being
bears. took all offerings themselves.
Then when the market made jump of
5 cents on Saturday they could not
stand the pressure. 1t is said that

town are badly plnched by the failure.
