AFTER BLAINE, WHO?
What Is Said by Several Promi-
nent Minneapolis Republicans.

The leading Republicans of Mime
apolis, as a rule. are not Blainiacs. They
left that distinction to the enjoyment of
the rank and file, with an occasional
man who showed above mediocrity.
Neither are they for Gresham, as a mat
ter of party policy, in spite of the almost
lachrymoSe endedvors of some of the
papers to convince them of the con-
trary. Blaine's second letter, published
yesterday, has convinced everybody
that he is really out of the race, even as
an emergency candidate. William
the opposite belief, was not visible. but
there was rot politician in Minneapo
lis yesterday but said he was firmly con-
vinced Blaine meaIft precisely what he
said. r. G. Evans. the Minnesota men,
ber of the national Republican commit
tee, who is an ardent Gresham man.
said lie had not the slightest doubt of it.
and he believed now that Gresham
would sweep to the front. Some very
significant admissions were made by
prominent Republicans yesterday touch
ing the probable effect on local
politics of the nomination of Blaine or
Gresham. Among those seen by GLOBE
reporters were two of the Minnesota
delegates to Chicago, f. F. DAVIS and r.
B. Langdon.
Frank f. Davis-I never thought that
James q. Blaine meant anything else
than what he said in his first letter.
But there were lot of his friends who
would not hear.of his declining to run.
and they originated this idea of there
being double meaning to his letter in
order to keep him before the public as a
candidate, and it is owing to the mis-
construction put on his letter by these
ardent Blaine men, that has caused
this second letter TO be written. | be-
lIeve that the strongest candidate now
i'll the field is w. Q. Gresham, and | am
satisfied that his nomination would help
us more in our state election than the
nomination of either Sherman or De-
pew.
Robert Jamison-I consider Gresham
the strongest man now in the field and
believe that he will be the nominee.
There Is no doubt but what Blaine is
out of the field now, and it is folly to
consider him as a candidate any longer.
X. B. Langdon-Blaine was compelled
to write this second letter because some
of his friends had placed him in a false
position before the public. He declined
TO be candidate in good faith, and ex-
pected to be SO understood, and when
he found that his letter had been mis-
| construed, he wrote this second one so
there would be no doubt about his re-
fusal to be candidate.
Edward u. Geesaman-Well, there is
no doubt about Blaine being out of the
| field now, although / thought he meant
what he said in his first letter. Wonld

2 TOOK "ROUGH ON RATS"
r. b. Myers, a Veteran of the War,
Dies by His Own Hand.

A case of suicide occurred yesterday
at 249 Hennepin avenue. The victim,
who was tired of living, was R. B. My
ers, an old soldier, for a long time
resident of the city. He had been
engaged of late as soliciting agent for
the Huff Rubber Co. Mr. Arnold,
the proprietor of the hotel where Myers
took his own life by poisoning himself
with ''Rough on Rats" said, meyers
came to me Tuesday morning and said he
wanted sheet of writing paper, which
l gave him. He then sat down and
wrote letter, which was found in the
room on the table after he was found
dead" The contents were to the effect
that liquor was the chief cause, although
he alluded to family troubles, in which
Mr.. Arnold thought there was no truth.
He has been a habitual drinker
for a long time, and this, doubtless,
had more weight upon his weak
mind than anything else. He went to
his room at 10 o'clock Tuesday night in
usual good health, and it was great
surprise to the clerk when he found
him dead at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, although he had heard
him threaten several times to
take his life. Deputy Coroner
Towers was called and ordered the body
taken to Connelly's morgue. There will
be no inquest as there is sufficient evil
dence to prove that he took his own life.
He leaves daughter, who is the wife of
Nlr. Huff, the manager of the firm that
the deceased was employed by.

VARIOUS SMALL TALK.
The Board of Education Transacts
Only Routine Business,

The committee on teachers, janitors
and salaries recommended the appoint
ment of the following teachers: Ger
trude Willy, $3.50; Ella L. Stewart, $3.50:
Kate Jones, $500; and that the increase
of the salary of Miss Mary McGurk,
OF the Irving school, date from
the date of her transfer to that building.
The recommendation was adopted. On
request being put in by two teachers
to be transferred to another school, it
was moved that hereafter all teachers
desiring to be transferred be required
to make application to the superintend-
ent first. A discussion followed, and
the motion was carried.
Three petitions were received asking
that schools in the different portions be
closed two weeks earlier than usual.
Maj: Hale moved that the schools be
closed June Is, instead of the 22nd, but
the motion was lost.
The report of Supt. Bradley was pre-
sented. The total number of pupils
now enrolled, he said, was Il, ,947, against
16,1 the same date year ago. Then.
a large number of pupils had been with
drawn from the schools on account of
the families leaving the city. The re-
port further states that it is contem-
plated to give a concert at the Grand
opera house the evening of
other work done by the pupils will be
exhibited. The collection will later on
be taken to the exposition building and
placed on exhibition there. The statis-
tics for the month showed the average
daily attendance during May to have
been II, 1S7, being 93.1 per cent of the
total membership.
A proposition from R. Flaherty to in
sure the boilers III the various schools
was referred to a committee.
The committee on building made a re-
port recommending some general i'm
prOvementS, such as ventilating and the
like, i'll the various schools. The report
was adopted. 1t was also decided to
put the fan system of ventilation in the
Greeley school building. The work of
sodding the High school grounds was
let to A. j. Kennedy at $3.50.
The building committee was in
structed to grade and sod the little tri-
angular piece of ground owned by the
board of education near the High
school. This will make another small
park, one which has long been needed

amounting to S42,S42.26, which were ap-
proved and ordered paid.

drawn in favor of George A. Dutoit. the
owner. The board then went into exec

Furniture and Carpets by Mail.


AS an experiment, some six months
ago we prepared, at considerable ex-
pense, small catalogue showing few
of our different styles of Chamber Suits,

not conveniently come to our store
without considerable expense and loss
of time. The experiment proved so sat-
lsfactOry that we have now ready for
distribution much larger catalogue of
some fifty pages, with from four to eight
pictures on page, showing very COM
plete line of Furniture, Stoves, Ranges,
Refrigerators, Baby Carriages and Gen

have liked to have had him nominated
though, for his nomination would have
helped us out in our state election.
Gresham, though, will pull US through
all right if he gets the nomination, but
if Sherman or Depew are nominated, |
believe the Democrats will sweep things
here in Minnesota.
Samuel P. Snider-Well, we can't
consider Blaine as our candidate any
longer, but his nomination would have
been great help to the Republicans in
the coming state election. There is no
doubt but what Gresham is the most
popular candidate next to Blaine here
in Minnesota and all through the North
west, but he will hardly be the nominee.
Loren Fletcher i always thought
that Mr.. Blaine meant just what he
said, and that he would not accept the
nomination if it were offered him. But
II at the convention deadlock ensues,
and 1t is impossible to nominate any one
of the candidates before the convention,
L then believe that he would accept
unanimous nomination. AS for the can
dldates now in the field, believe that
Sherman or Alger stands the best show
for securing the nomination. l have
never considered Gresham as possible
nominee, but nevertheless | believe
that his nomination would help the Re-
publican party in the local elections in
this state more than would the nomina

of colossal proportions, of enduring sub
stance, upon eternal principles. Where
shall we build their monuments?
Whether beside the murmuring waters
of the republic or on her silent rocky
heights or in the bosom of her vast prai-
rles or in nations capital Or CONNER
clal towns, their true monument will
be where its cleaning shaft shall never
be dimmed, its deep carvings never be
erased in the hearts CT the vast, mighty,
world-blessing republic they fought to
save.
DECORATING THE MEMORIAL CROSS.
The chorus next sang, "Cover Them
Over With Flowers" as the school
children came forward and laid their
floral tributes upon the grave, while the
Wreaths were hung upon the arms of
the cross. When they had finished a
little golden-haired girl trotted out,
bearing in her tiny hands an elaborate
floral offering. AS she repeated her
visit several times. bringing with her
some new tribute to the memory of the
unknown dead. the great audience
greeted her with cheers and applause.
ANOTHER TRIBUTE.
Rev. r. N. McCraig, of the Hennepin
M. 3; church, spoke briefly. He was
glad he served in the war under Sheri-
dan, that he lived in the time of Grant
and Sherman; he was glad of the priv
llege to commemorate the lives of those
VINO sacrificed themselves for the
Union, and he was glad to see
soldiers and to look into the
faces of men whose friendship
he had formed while doing picket duty
for his country. I'VE are going down
the hill, comrades" he said. "Our forms
are bent, ard our steps are less elastic,
but while we live let us cherish a love
and friendship for each other until the
last man has passed away. We are here
to say that every citizen owes his
highest allegiance to the general gov
ernment which the echo of the voice OF
the sacred dead says is over and above
US, as God is over the universe. We
are here to announce our allegiance to
the principles of civil and personal lib
erty, not only in this country, but every
where. We are not here to fan the
flames of enmity, but to kneel down
and conSecrate ourselves anew to the
mission of upholding our civil institu-
tionS." The speaker went on to dilate
upon the glory of free government.
HIS concluding sentence was ''while we
live we shall preserve the liberty of
every man to vote, and | hope the day
will soon come when woman will have
the right to vote"
The singing of Praise to the Father
by the chorus. benediction by Rev. A.
b. Allen, and music by Sidwell's band,
were the concluding features of the ex-
erciSeS.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
Mill Owners Complain of a Dull
Market for Their Goods.

In its issue of tomorrow the North
western Miller will say:
The output of flour was not much
changed last week, and was compare
lively large. 1t will probably show
heavier decrease for the current week.
The weeks production was 1862, 600 bar
rels-averaging $1,000 barrels daily
against 164, 100 barrels the previous
week. and 107, 800 barrels for the CORE
spending time in 1887. There are only
fourteen mills running to-day, five of
those in operation a week ago having
dropped out since Saturday. About IL
600 barrels capacity can thus be counted
as idle, Out of this, however, two or
three mills with combined
product of 1000 to $500 barrels
will be started tomorrow. At pres
ent the daily flour output is
probably not far from 21,O0O, though it
is liable to average considerably higher
than that for the six days. One mill
now running, of 2,700 barrels capacity.
will stop grinding Saturday for two
weeks repairing. but another operated
by the same firm will commence to pro-
duce 1,500 barrels per day Monday. The
owners of others complain of the mar
kets, and say that they will soon shut
down if an improvement does not occur.
Some of the larger firms are storing
here to a considerable extent, and also
at other points. The -four market is

Miss Carrie Farden, 1900 Wash
ington Avenue South, Writes a
Letter.
Miss Carrie Farden, the young lady
who has drawn considerable comment
upon herself by writing a letter to the
press charging that the money sent to
the girls who struck from Shotwell,
Clerihew q Lothman's factory recently,
was being improperly distributed by
the committee. and inSinuating that one
or two favored ones are getting the
lions share, takes exception to the letter
from Misses Rooney and England, pub
lished in yesterdays GLOBE, and has
sent in the following: The letter from
Misses Rooney and England in this
mornings GLOBE, purporting to be
reply to my letter of yesterday in the
Tribune, contains nothing but a verifi-
cation to my statements. Let us see
what they have to say. We were about
IT'S striking girls, and they claim
to have given aid to as
many as 125. Hence they ad-
NIT that they left fifty or more of their
sister strikers out in the cold. They
further admit that they gave 500 to
some girls and S1.50 to other girls, with
OuU giving dHy lSdSOllS Wlldlcfcl IOI
this glaring discrimination and favor
itism.
In the name of justice and fairness,
is there any Knight of Labor or other
honorable person who will call that a
just distribution? A just distribution
would have been to have divided the
donations among all the striking girls
on the basis of their weekly
earnings while at work, possibly making
some allowance for sick mother, sister,
etc, to support. Thep state that they
have paid out s771, but they keep as
silent as the grave about the total re-
ceipts. The donors will certainly have
no objection to having statement
published showing the donations in
detail, and there is no valid
reason why public statement should
not be made, showing the distribution
OF the donations. 1t is absurd to argue
that it would be humiliating for us girls.
All right thinking girls feel proud of
the fact that they were backed by all
labor organizations and other hon
orable people by receiving sub
stantial sympathy from them in
of good hard money. We have a right
to look at these noble gifts from our
Sympathizers the same way as a bride
looks at her wedding gifts, being de-
lighted with them and giving detailed
account of the gifts and the donors in
the next mornings paper. 4.

THREE COUNTIES INTERESTED
In the Location of Bridge Across
the Mississippi.

A joint meeting of the Cedar Avenue
and Lake Street improvement associa-
ton and delegates from the counties of
Dakota and Scott was held last evening
at the association hall, at 1,SO9 Lake
street. The object of the meeting was
to discuss the matter of building a
bridge across the Minnesota river, so as
to open route between Minneapolis
and the rich and populous farming
country lying south of the river,
and which would be tributary to this city
if there was any way of crossing the
river. The first question under discus
sion was in regard to the best place for
building the bridge. Most of the Da-
kOta county delegation favored a point
about halfway between Cedar avenue
and Fort Smelling, while the Scott coun-
ty delegation claimed that more than
double the number of people would use
the bridge if it were built at the Lyndale
avenue crossing. The Improvement as
sociation was divided as between the
Cedar avenue, Bloomington avenue aud
Chicago avenue crossings. but after con-
siderable discussion it was decided by
an almost unanimous vote to ask the
next legislature for an appropriation for
building the bridge at the Cedar avenue
