ST. CLOUD, June 13.-Can you COM
prehend how great district the Fifth
is. and what diversified political inter-
ests are within its borders? If your
mind can grasp the political compleXity
of these thirty c0unties-from st. Louis
to Clay and Sterns TO Norman-you
will understand the influences that
have made the st. Cloud convention
not one of the most bitter or exciting
but one of the most remarkable assem-
blages in the history of the state. StearnS
county is to the Fifth what Blue Earth
is to the Second, OF Goodhue to the
Third. Although giving a Democratic
majority year after year, it mas in Re
publican politics cleverly managed to
gobble the offices and to keep perpet-
ually in the field a goodly number Of
candidates. In the large sense of the
word, StearnS county has played the
Hoo. 1t has in the field for offices
or holding them: Governor, Gilman ;
supreme Judge, Collins: district judge.
Searles; refOrmatory, Meyers; United
States senator, Gilman: and twenty ad-
ditional minor offices without doubt. Is
it any wonder, then, that the opposition
heaven and earth were appealed to, his
chance for the nomination was nil.
The big and
AMBITIOUS COUNTIES
of st. Louis, Otter Tail, Clay and Crow
Wing. were too determined that it
should it should not be for Mr.. Barto to
win. The GLOBES prediction that he
could not was verified. His strength
was heroic in its defense of his canvass.
1t never faltered, and faith like that
pinned upon one good-natured, jolly
man is spectacle good to see in this
age of lies and broken honor. Gilman
must have understood from first to last
that Barto could not win. He must
have foreseen that Barto's victory meant
just that much injury to any hopes he
might have for the governorship or ma
tional senate. Yet, | believe, despite
all the charges of crookedneSs made
against him, that Charley Gilman re-
deemed the debt that he has owed Barto
for years. Gilman could not have given
him another vote ii he had wished to.

McLeish, at Wolsley, n. w. T., were
launched into eternity at S:23 this morn

sorry to die. Goudy also bore up well.
He was attended by Revs. Gregory and

penitent for his crime and resolved the

The MiIIers Talk of 1t, and Will

BUFFALO, June 13.-The second day
of the millers' national convention
opened with larger attendance. State
Senator Arkel read an interesting
article on bags and bagging. AT the
codclusion of Senator Arkell's paper A.
A. Freeman. of La Crosse, read very
able paper on SPresent Abuses-Sales
of Flour and the Regulation of
the Sale and Production.'' An
effort was made at this morn
ing's session to form a flour trust, but
no definite action was taken. The sub
ject was discussed at length, but the
general sentiment of the convention
was that it would be preferable to Or
ganize central office with paid officials
where all grievances and troubles aris-
ing from cutting of rates, ETC., should be
referred. The subject will come up
again at later sessions.
The convention for two hours this
evening debated resolution to indOrse

Hatch, of Missouri, making dealing in
options punishable bv fine and impris-
onment. The resolution was referred

PICKUPS
From the Edge of the Convention
and in st. Cloud.

Gil Hartley, of the Duluth delegation,
looks SO much like our only Doc Quinn
that l have been tempted half a dozen
times to call him Coroner" and ask
him when the inquest was to be held
over the remains of Judge Stearns.
Hartley of Brainerd, his brother, is
clerical in appearance, even to his
lOng-tailed coat The speech of Daniel
&. Cash in nominating Stearns has been
universally condemned. 1t was rank.
He seemed to be endeavoring to cast a
slur upon everything connected with
the convention. Aside from the fact
that he is not an orator in any sense, his
indiscretionS made the house weary.
Col. Pressnell, holding proxy for Cook
county, has been constant friend of
the newspaper boys, and they are not
going to forget him. White, of Moor
head, has had one interesting occupa-
ton. He has spent his time counting the
baldheads bfrom Clay county who have

put in a Democrat to preside over
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. As
for Depew, Mr.. Halstead doubts if he
can carry the New York delegation, as
Tom Platt of that state is for Alger. and
besides that Hiscock has a boom of
his own. Blaine is really the man
the New Workers want, but he
was undoubtedly sincere in both
his letters and it is only those who
don't know him that are shouting for
him. Mr.. Halstead does not believe
that either the Prohibitionists or labor
party will cut much of figure in the
campaign and does not think that
Henry George can deliver the labor
vote in New York to the Democracy.
Asked if he thought the Republican
party had good prospects for success.
he replied: Eyes sir; when the records
OF the campaign are written up they
Will show the country that the Cleve-
land episode in the Democratic ranks
has been wound up, and Republican
president put into the White house."

The Liquor License Is No Longer
a Bugaboo in Watertown--At-
tempted Jail Breaking.
Special to the Globe
WATERFOWL, Dak., June 13.-The
city and county license has been a thorn
in the flesh to the dispensers of the ar
dent for some time, and more especially
since the supreme court of Dakota de-
cided that both licenses must be paid.
In this county the full license is 81, 400.
This afternoon the city council and
county commissioners met in joint ses-
sion and adjusted the license question
to the satisfaction of all by eXacting
payment in full from June to January,
instead of for the whole year. The
other question of back taxes will be
left for the consideration of the grand
jury and the court.
Eight prisoners are confined in the
county baStile awaiting the pleasure of
the court. Their confinement becoming
irksOme it was resolved to make bold,
desperate effort to regain their liberty.
Bars were sawed off and all the neces-
sary preparations incident to dash for
freedom were made, but the wife of
Jailer Abbott heard the noise and gave
the alarm in time to frustrate their
deep laid plans. Deprivation of priv
llegeS and closer watch will naturally
follow.

LONDON, June 13.-Mr. Parnell gave
a dinner in London this evening in
honor of his colleagues lately in
prison in Ireland. Mr.. O'Brien wss
the chief absentee. Mr.. Parnell
proposed the health of his guests, who,
he said, with the help of their asso-
ciates, had broken the back of the coer-
cion act. Irishmen had not shrunk
from coercion in the past and would not
shrink now. Mr.. Balfour had treat
ed the imprisoned Irish members of par
lament better than obscurer offenders
were treated. He had not dared to in
tlict hard labor on cOmmoners, although
claiming that he had no respect
for persons. This was cowardly
on his part. Mr.. Dillon, who responded,
said that the papal rescript was fortu-
nate thing in that it showed that
while Irish Catholics were strict
churchmen, they would not take
politics from Rome. Mr.. Parnell pro-
posed toast to America and Australia.
He said that America was solid on the
side of the Irish.

Will Not Down.

VIII NOC DOWns
CHICAGO, June 13.-Throughout the
evening there was a strong undercur-
rent for Blaine. There were many
around the political headquarters, men
from all parts of the country, who
still expected that Blaine was the
coming man. They quoted his
speeches in which he said
that no man had the right
to refuse the call of his country if it
came to him with urgency and unan-
unity, and concluded that Blaine would
not be the first to violate his own prin-
ciples. None of the delegates or men
of prominence would commit themselves
publicly on the subject, but the talk
continued nevertheless. There vas
greater activity at the Gresham head
quarters to-day than those of any other
candidate. The register was kept
open, and every Gresham man
who dropped in put down his name
a good round number from Indiana.
Many former residents of New York
held meeting in the Gresham rooms
this afternoon for the purpose of BOOM
ing the judge. They organized them
selves into committee to receive the
New York delegation with all the hos
pitality the committee could extend.
and at the same time work in the inter
ests of Gresham. They decided to call
upon all former New Workers now
residents of Chicago, to lend
their active cooperation. The
names of those who will make
the nominating speeches were subject
of considerable inquiry to-day. Gen.
Alger will be nominated by Col. Robert
l.. Frazer, of Detroit. lawyer and old
camprigner. Gen. Harrison will be
named by eX-GOv. Albert g. Porter, of
Indianapolis, whom Indianians think is
dark-horse candidate. Sherman's
ings. attorney of Pennsylvania. Judge
Gresham's name will be probably pre-
sented by Leonard SWEET, who pre-
sented Abraham Lincoln's name in be-
half of Illinois just twenty-eight years
ago
