DECLINES THE HONOR.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly OPP
posed to Leading a For
lorn Hope.
His Withdrawal From the La
Dor Ticket Only a Cues
ton Of Time.
Providing New Depositories
for the Ballots Of Amer
lean Citizens.
Judge Flandrau and the indie
pendents Will Await Re-
suits of Primaries.

A report was circulated at late hour
last night that Hon. Ignatius Donnelly
had withdrawn from the gubernatorial
race. A reporter of the GLOBE inter
viewed the farmers and labor candidate
concerning the matter, at his room in
the Merchants hotel, shortly after mid
night. Mr.. Donnelly acknowledged
that there were grounds for the
rumOr. but was considerably surprised
that it had come to the knowledge of
the GLOBE. as an attempt had been
made to maintain secrecy. When
questioned as to his withdrawal, he
said:
No, have not withdrawn, but the
executive committee of the Farm and
Labor party held meeting to-day to
consider the prOpriety of withdrawing
their ticket for state officers from the
field. This course was recommended
because it was considered impossible to
carry the state or even canvass a great
part of it. There was desire to con-
centrate the efforts of the speakers of
the party on behalf of the legislative
ticket of the Farm and Labor party, but
nothing was positively done except to
discuss the matter. Further action
will be taken in few days.
The whole question will rest
with the state central committee,
as the candidates are ready to continue
the fight if they say so, although it will
be only leading a forlorn hope" In
the cities we would probably draw
largely from Mr.. Wilson, as the most
of the laboring men are Democrats;
while in the country we would detract
many Republican votes from MIR. Mer-
RAM"

NEW BALLOT BOXES.
Receptacles in Which Voters Will
Deposit Their Preferences.


Deposit Their Preferences.
City Clerk Prendergast is engaged
perfecting arrangements for the in
auguration of new system of voting
at the coming elections.
AT each polling place throughout the
city seven ballot boxes will be used, a
separate receptacle being provided for
the ballots for presidential electors,
state officials, congressman, members of
state legislature, county officers, dis
trict judges, and constitutional amend
ments, total of 44S boxes being re-
quired to cast the vote of the city.
Each of these boxes is marked in plain
letters with the number of the ward
and subdistrict, and also with the
ticket for which it will be used. For
instance, in the second precinct of the
Third ward the box in which votes for
the state ticket will be cast is marked
Estate" in large letters on top, and on
either end the words Third Ward,
Second District"
The new boxes are strongly con-
Structed, One-inch black walnut dove
tailed and glued together being used
for the bottom and ends, while the sides
are of half-inch plate glass. They are
put together so that after the votes are
counted and returned to the boxes by
the judges each box may be locked by
means of a BOhannon paddock. The
key will be dropped through the aper-
ture IN the top, which will afterwards
be closed by an ingeniously constructed
automatic lock, and it will then be i'm
possible to get at the ballots without
breaking the boxes. The city clerk
holds duplicate keys, which will be
used when the official recount is made.

Ernest Mobin and James Williams be-
ing the lucky men. On motion of Sam
Nichols the executive committee will
consist of nine members who will be
appointed by the chairman to-
day. Fred G. Wheeler was
appointed assistant secretary and
after discussing the plans of
campaign for upwards of two hours an
attempt was made to realize the nature
and extent OF the work to be accom-
plished by informally noting the
amount of money necessary to be raised
in each ward and in the country. No
decision was arrived at, however, and a
meeting of the executive committee is
called for tomorrow at o'clock at the

THE RESULT UNAFFECTED.
The Independent Move IF Inaug-
urated Will Be UnimDOrtaut


urated will Be Unimportant.
The independent convention for the
nomination of a ticket which shall not
be based strictly upon party lines, may
or may not be called, its calling depend
ing upon the feeling which the nomina-
ton of to-morrow's ticket will produce.
1t is the intention of the independ-
ents to submit the ticket to
most vigorous scrutiny, and either M
dorse or reject it, in part or wholly.
If the result of the convention should
meet with their appreciation no move
ment for an in dependent ticket will be
made. If the ticket does not please,
however, it is the intention Of the insti-
gators Of the movement to call con-
VentiOn, lndOrSe such nominations as
meet with their appreciation, and place
in nomination upon the new ticket sub
StituteS for the nominations upon the
regular county ticket.
From present. indications it seems to
be fOregOne conclusion tibet the infant
movement looking towards the birth of
a new county ticket would simply re-
suit in flash in the pan. The ticket,
as it will be placed before the people as
the outcome of the deliberations at
Market hall tomorrow. will be clean,
wholesome and free from Objectionable
features.
The general sentiment among repre-
sentative Democrats about the city, yes
terday, was that the independent move
was a most foolish one, that it could not
poll POO votes, and that in the face of
the VIGOROUSLY weak ticket nominated
by the Republicans, success for the
regular Democratic nominee was as
Sured.
Judge Flandrau, upon being inter-
rogated as to the new movement, stated
| that the future of the independents
would depend largely upon the outcome
of the convention tomorrow.
1--WE are dissatisfied with the manner
| in which the primaries are conducted -
| continued the Judge. I'VE wished to
| have due notice given as to the time of
| their occurrence, places for holding
them, and also requested that regular
| Democratic club member be made one
of the judges. Our first proposition was
| aeceded to and due notice was given.
However, the powers that be would
not accede to our request for
| judges, and for that reason have
resolved upon having either a
| fair representation, or going into the
| field with an Independent ticket, which
will, hope, embody the strongest men
in the party, and bring TO US the vote OF
the conservatives. We are all of us
tired of being compelled, with each re-
| curing election, to be RELOCATED to the
background, and at the last election we
went into the convention, and notwith-
standing the fact that our claims were
most strongly pushed by the champions
of our side, and that our credentials
when presented to the proper commit.
tee were without a flaw, we were
thrown out. The SINE men who did
such effective service at that time once
more come TO the front as judges of the
| primaries

Advancing Rates.

Commencing yesterday the Milwaukee

one cent per hundred from points west
of Webster on the Hastings and Dakota
division to Chicago, and on the South

tol, OAK, to Chicago. None of the
other roads have made the advance,
and agents say they probably will not,
the advance being merely local on the
Milwaukee. The Omaha q Northwest

vance made by the Milwaukee, when
there is competition. but they will await

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

County Convention Tomorrow.

Delegates TO he CHOSEN TO the
County Convention Tomorrow.
The primaries for the election of del
egates to the Ramsey county Democratic
convention will be held this evening
from until z o'clock. The indications
are that the ticket chosen will be I'M
usually strong, and the convention will
be a most harmonious one. There is
absolutely no opposition to the renomi-
nation of NJ. +. Kahn as county auditor.
For sheriff George Moeller will be
selected. A. n. Nelson or Alfred Palm
quiSt will be put up for county treas
urer. j. j. Egan will be renOminated
as county attorney, while K. Stone Cor
man will be nominated for judge of
probate and DR.. j. A. Markoe as cor
Oner. w. a. Van Slyke will be Sc
lected to contest the race for register of
deeds with NJ. j. Bell, the Republican
nominee. Dan Kelly, l.. d. Wilkes,
Charles Liedmann, II. +. Hoyt, A. B.
Ronney and George Mitsch are the
probable nominees for county commits
sioners. The possible make up of the
legislative ticket is still in doubt. ii.
f. Stevens will probably be Endorsed.
John s. erode will contest for political
hOnors with William f. Bickel, John
Ii. Ives will be nominated to oppose
James A. Johnson, the labor candidate
who obtained his seat on Saturday after
so hard a struggle. MeSsrs. Bolts,
Lienau and Schumacher are also spoken
of, but the make up of the legislative
ticket will be a matter of conjecture
until tomorrow.

The roads and the commissioners have had
several conferences in regard to the matter,
and 1t is expected that arrangements will be
made to bring about reduction.

Sheridan Human is languishing be-

clumsy attempt at counterfeiting.
Wednesday evening he entered the
store of Michael Wagner, on Rice street,
and called for package of tobacco, in
payment for which he threw down
what looked like a s. bill and received
the change. He had hardly left the
store when Mr.. Wagner discovered that
he had been duped, and that the S. bill
was in reality 81 bill, the figure one
having been changed to five. On dis
covering the trick that had been perpe-
trated upon him, he gave chase to the
young man and succeeded in overhaul
ing him. The prisoner was turned over
to the police and given hearing before
Commissioner Spencer, who held him in
$1,000 bail. A confederate named HOl-
ton was also arrested and will be exam
ined before the commissioner this morn

Co /. George l.. Perkins, the late cen

Conn.,, wrote the following poem in al
autograph album fortnight before HI
died. 1t is thought to be original will
him:
They soon grow old who grope for gold
In marts where all is bought and sold;
Who live for self and some shelf
In darkened vaults hoard up their pelf,
Cankered and crusted DER with mould;
For them their youth itself is old.
They nee r grow old who gather gold
Where springs awake and flowers unfold;
Where suns arise IN joyous skies
And fill the soul within their eyes;
For them, the immortal bards have sung;
For them, old age itself is young.

The apparent increase in the rate OF the
estimated expenses for the coming three
years is due partly TO the extraordinary eX-
penses necessary in opening the new institu-
lions at Fergus Falls and st. Cloud, but
chiefly to the fact that. owing to the uncer-
tainty as to future results, the earnings Of the
prisoners at saltwater and st. Cloud are esti
mated at S32 per man instead of SllO as
hitherto. Should the convicts in the two
prisons earn Sl10 each, the amount eX
be: 1859. $40; 1SS9-90, SI7l; 1890
81, Sl6S The foregoing estimates do not
include any appropriations for erecting and
furnishing new buildings, purchasing land,
or for extraordinary repairs and improve
ments The state board of corrections and
charities Will recommend an appropriation
for each institution for extraordinary repairs
and improvements, amounting to about per
cent of the value of the fixed property as
shown by the annual inventory.

fer of the Grand Opera House.
The long-talked-of sale of the opera
house seems to be off, at least for the
present. The terms of the sale and the
various complications that have arisen
to defeat it have been skept from the
public to such an extent that it is i'm
possible to state what the troubles is.
The Chicago Tribune of yesterday has
the following:
John Crabtree. brother and manager of
Lolita, arrived in Chicago yesterday from st.
Paul. He denies the report sent out from
that city that his sister has purchased the
Grand Opera-House there or the Hennepin
Opera-House at Minneapolis. Mr.. CraDtree
said that he spent several days in negotiating
for the ST. Paul property, but the deal fell
through. The Minneapolis play he
made no effort to secure.
Manager Scott was seen last evening
in regard to the matter, but he knew
nothing at all about the dealings be-
tween the Lolita party and the owners
of the opera house. The latter were
also unwilling to state what the trouble
was and the matter is left in the dark.
One thing is certain, and that is that
the long-talked-of sale has not culmi
mated in transfer of the property, and
that the Lolita party has gone East. 1t
is reported, however, that a new prop
oSitiOn has been forwarded to Lolita, or
to her manager. Mr.. Crabtree.
