Special to the Globe.
FAIRBAULT, June ia meeting of
the alumni of Shattuck school was held
his morning. The alumni held ban
quet at the Brunswick last evening at
which speeches, toasts and school
"reminiscences were INDUCED in. A
large number of invited guests were in
attendance at the concert and reception
at st. Mary's Hall last evening, and all
report very enjoyable evening. At
the Minnesota school for the blind
the annual musical review and clos
ing exercises were held. The pro-
gramme comprised large number of
pieces and the several parts were
well rendered and enthusiastically re-
ceived by the vast audience present.
There is a marked Improvement from
year to year of these unfortunate wards
of the state, and it needs but visit to
this institution to convince the most
sceptical that the cure and education
of the blind is one Of the grandest works
of the age. Following is list of gradu-
ateS: Charles McGinnis, Louriston,
Chippewa county: Frank Jackman,
Minneapolis, Hennepin county; Edwin
Constans, Mankato, Blue Earth county:
Nora Cav. Chatfield, Fillmore county:
Viola Whipple, Chowan, Hennepin
county. After the presentation of
diplomas, Archbishop Ireland, of st.
Paul, delivered very interesting ad-
dress to the graduates.

DIED-HARMONY.
A Word Not Cultivated in This
Section Among RepublicanS


"You are fighting Merriam" said
Sam Nichols to the GLOBE, "because
he is the strongest man. The GLOBE
always does that. but you'll see before
long what it amounts to. Merriam is
the coming man. This lone word of
sympathy for the needy millionaire
cheered. me. | walked to the hotel
window and saw the stopped
shoulders and white hat of Charley Gil
man going down the street. | seemed
to hear cry vengeance is mine," and
still thought of Merriam. The men-
ton of his name prOvOkes no enthusi-
asIn, and the fear that if he is nomin-
ated, an Independent candidate will
take the field is in many mems minds.
Talk of harmony in Republican politics
in this state. Is it harmony that IN
spires the belief in the minds of
most of the men here to-day
Is it for harmony that Gilman is in the
field? DO you call it harmony to hear
of bolts and trades, men bought and
sold, opposing views on the tariff, de-
nunciations deep and strong of this
candidate and that? It's funny to hear
Republican after Republican say, well,
Minnesota ought to go 10000 Republican
this year" What, only 10000, and she
gave Blaine Il 900? Straws show with
the wind. Minnesota Republicans are
not courageous-not dashing-this year.
Their minds are filled with uncertainty
and doubt, and no man of destiny is at
hand to unity them.

DEADwOOD, OAK, June 13.-The
grand lodge, A. F. and A. M. of Da-
kota, convened yesterday at 10 a. m. in
the opera house. There were over two
hundred delegates, representing LOG sub
ordinate lodges. The report of the
graud master showed the order to be in
excellent condition in Dakota He
urged the adoption of a resolution
that after Jan. l, 1889, the
selling of Intoxicating liquor to be used
as a beverage shall be deemed as a
Masonic Offense punished upon cOnvic-
ton by expulsion. The report showed
the finances of the lodge to be in a
fourishing condition. The ladies of the
party are enjoying their visit here.
They are all being entertained by the
ladies' reception committee of this city.
The programme yesterday included
visit to the Homestake mines
evening reception at the residence of
Mrs. Seth Bullock. A pleasant feature
of the reception was the presentation
on behalf of the grand lodge to Mrs.
John Davidson, of Bismarck, of a mag
nificent brooch and earring of Black
Hills gold, and to Mrs. 7. j. Wilder, of
Casselton, on behalf of the grand chap
ter, of a beautiful ring. At the meeting
of the grand lodge at 10 a. m.
to-day the resolution making liquor
selling Masonic offense was
defeated by large majority.
Officers of the grand lodge elected for
the ensuing year are as follows: B. A.
Branden, G. B., Aberdeen; George v.

BERLIN, June 13.-The general con-
dition of the emperor is comparatively
satisfactory. He takes no solid food,
however, except through tube. The
physicians express hope that his
strength may be maintained for some
days, but it is evident that the vital de-
cline has set in. The fears entertained
by the, emperor's physicians that in
f1ammation of the lungs would super
vene are for the present removed
by the development of his
illness. The emperor now re-
celves sufficient nOurishment, consist
ing of cream and whisky, which is
given by DR.. Mackenzie several times
daily through tube, the psophagus
being affected by a local disease. The
use of the tube being attended with dam
ger, DR.. Mackenzie only applied
it after the other doctors in attendance
had agreed to its use. Cases are on rec
ord where the lives of patients have
been prolonged several months by this
means. Since Saturday DR.. Mackenzie
has been inserting tampOn canula,
as connection has formed between
the larynX and 9sOphagus. The em-
peror to-day gave an audience, which
lasted twenty minutes, to the King Of
Sweden. At 3 o'clock he received
Prince Bismarck.
The emperOr's bed has been moved
into the study,whi is brighter room,
affording view of the park. DR.. Bar
deleben remains at the palace during
the night.
The emperor is mentally,,as active as
ever. He desires to do a good deal of
work, which the doctors forbid, fearing

cess of artificial feeding. Food is intro

Many Delegates Are Still
Haunted by the Plumed

Celebrities Who Will Present
the Names of the Several
Candidates.

CHICAGO, June 13.-By long odds the
central event among the crowds of poll
ticians to-day was the arrival of the
noted recipient of Blaine'S letter from
Florence, Chairman B. f. Jones, of the
national Republican committee. Ru-
mors were thick that the big chairman
was the bearer of another epiStle from
the man over the waters. This letter,
the reports had it,would prove greater
surprise and was destined to become
even more celebrated than the famous
manuscript with the Florence date.
The reason given was that the new
missive told the secrets of many people
have tried in vain to gueSS-whO, him.
self being barred, Mr.. Blaine preferred
as the Republican presidential nominee.
Right in the exact spot where the
candidate is to be named, the floor of
the convention hall, was the place
where Mr.. Jones was found by re-
porter, and consented to be interro-
gated. The rumors in circulation were
told to the chairman in detail. Then
the question was plumply put:
''Mr. Jones, have you such a letter."
mo, sir, candidly l have not" was
his reply. mo communication of po-
litical kind has been received by me
from Mr.. Blaine since the letter dated
Florence reached me-"
''Then you have received other letters
from him, have you, but not Oh poll
tics?"
Mr.. Jones hesitated: EYES," he re-
piled, II have heard from him, but
there was no word except what was
wholly personal"
LAS you have no letter such as de-
scribed, Mr.. Jones, denial of the state
ment that Mr.. Blaine has indicated to
you his choice would be superfluous, of
cOurSe?'
''Precisely."
But don't you think yourself that
the situation calls for further express
sion from him just at this time when
there is talk that the convention will
get into a deadlock and the situation
will be call on him then?"
mo, | don't think so. No OperSOn can
ever approximate what this convention
will do. The great majority of the dele
| gates will come here unpledged, and
they may be able after comforting
among themselves to nominate candi-
| date at the very outset. So the talk of
what should be done in the event of a
! deadlock cannot be discussed
Just one more question, Mr.. Jones.
| These same rumors have it that Mr.
Blaine would not accept the nomina-
| ton though it were rendered to him
unanimously, and has SO stated to you.
Has he ever given any such informa-
| tion?'
''Most emphatically, no." This closed
| the interview. 1t had made two points
measurabiy clear-thata new letter from
Blaine was not forthcoming, and that in
| the contingency of the convention ten
dering him nomination. the delegates
would have to lock beyond Chairman
Jones to learn the result.

THE NOMINEE.
A Short Sketch of the Career of
MIR. COmStOck,


Solomon Gilman Comstock was born
May 10, 1912, in Argyle, Me-, and is
forty-siX years old. He attended school
at Passa Dumkeag and graduated at
Kents Hill from the same school that
Alden j. E. Blethen, Loren Fletcher
and w. S. Pattee came from.
He lived in Omaha from 1867
to 1869, and came to Minnesota in 1870,
working on the Northern Pacific rail
road as a section hand, and afterwards
beginning the study of law at Moor
head. He has served in the house and
senate of Minnesota for the last ten
years, and is now state senator.
He was strong high license
advocate two years ago, and made
himself solid with the Clay county
farmers by securing for them the first
reduction on wheat rates from Moor
head to Minneapolis over the Manitoba
and Northern Pacific. He is a
Universalist, and has always been
a Republican. He was county
attorney of Clay county for
three terms. He is now practicing law
and farming. In ability he is not the
equal of Nelson in many respects, but
he is persistent and hard worker. He
is not brilliant, but steady. He said to
the GLOBE this evening:
''My position Oh the tariff is substan-
TALLY the same as Knute Nelson's. The
bill he introduced for free lumber.

must be materially reduced. My can

at their candidates gain, lead not
taken before by any candidate. Buck
man had given him a boost. His
chances began to blossom and the win
ming goal looked in sight. The forty
third ballot set the Comstock men wild.
Everything was going their way. The
vote was:
Barto % Buckman :. i Comstock. SO
Corliss ....21 Stearns =. L Graves. -. ID
Buchanan had kept his pledge. He
gave ComStock all that he could, and
stood by his brother senator and friend.
In the breakup Corliss managed to get
up to 21. The ballot was a feeler
on an agreement reached by
could win with what Buckman gave
him, all right: if not, then he was to do
all that he could for Buckman. The
forty-fourth ballot brought no change
except that Buckman'S one vote went
to CorliSS, who now stood at 90. Forty
fifth ballot, no change. The CorliSS and
Barto men would not break, and the
Graves vote from the unsalted sea was
mischeviously coy and hung off. On the
forty-siXth ballot, BartO lost two of his
votes, which went to COmstock. The
ballot was
Comstock. Al Barto. ......2O Stearns IA
OOAA&S'7.
Buckman had done his duty to Com
stock. Now it remained to be seen who
would finish the contest. Barto OH the
fOrty-Seventh ballot lost, and CorliSS
threw s away. The ballot was:
Comstock..50 Corliss. ..?15 Stearns. ID
Barto. 10 Graves. IA
COmStock was nominated. AS the
GLOBE said yesterday, he was Nelson's
legatee. The West has beat the Zenith
City. Judge Wait sprang to his feet
and moved that COmstock be made the
unanimous choice. The Otter Tail fel-
lows went mad over this.
"Wait till the ballot is
called, they yelled. Mason got on a
afford to be nominated in this way; de-
clare the ballot" Judge Wait withdrew
his motion and the ballot was declared.
Then j. G. Flynn moved that the nomi-
nation be made unanimous, and it was
done with yellS and whoops. The chair
appointed Messrs. Bullard, Hartley and
Cash a committee to wait on Mr.. Com
stock and notify him of his
nomination. COmStock came in,
hat in hand. and was led
to the platform, cries of "No. hard"
following him. He bowed and said:
"Gentlemen, cannot express my pro-
found gratitude to you for this honor.
The canvass has been honorable and
fair. | will try if elected to do my whole
duty" When the defeated candidates,
Barto, Buckman, Stearns, Graves and
CorliSs, took the platform. Barto spoke
first: Il have had to do great many
tough things in my life, but have just
congratulated Mr. Comstock heartily.
i have heard of man being at his
own funeral, but it is pretty
hard to ask him to preach the
funeral sermon" He paid high COM
pliment to ComstOck and predicted his
election. Stearns pledged st. Louis to
him. Buckman did the handsome in
his pledges of hearty support. Corliss
and Col. Graves made happy
speeches in the same vein. When
Gilman was called Oh he took chair,
and said many kind words for the NOM
inee. He urged that he take up Mel
sons tariff work and carry it out. The
people and the country demanded it.
Then the convention adjourned sine
die.
