THE PEOPLES MAN.

Chicago Times.
We have the assurance of Republican
Journals that HARRISoN's strength lies
not with electors, but with the Republi-
can machine of Indiana. But for the
fidelity of that machine he would have
had no standing in the convention. 1t
was persistent in its loyalty to its chief,
and rejoices greatly that in a conflict
with machine over its border which
Sought to play against it another and
more lovable son of Indiana, the tri-
umph and the glory lie ON the other
side of the Wabash.
The personal merit or demerit of Gen.
HARRISON will have little to do with a
campaign in which principle is to be
discussed. A better man than Gen.
HARRISON, standing-as HARRISON is
selected to stand-for free whisky,
high tariff, vicious, burdensome, I'M
equal, monstrOus taxing system, would
make no more Roadway in campaign
against CLEVELAND, who represents
and has led the popular desire for a
mitigation of the evils of that system.

THE MAYORS RETURN.

Mayor SMITHS return to the city
yesterday was in the nature of cold
shower bath to the eXcitable editors
who had been making the occasion of
his absence the theme of wild specula-
ton as to his Whereabouts and the rea-
SONS for his going away. They cooled
off even more suddenly than they
warmed up. 1t is ridiculous that be-
cause a gentleman happens to hold the
Office of chief magistrate OF the city
he cannot go away from home for day
or two on business or pleasure without
having his motives miscOnStrued. and
his movements made the subject of UNI
Just reflections and mean insinuationS.
1t has always been the custom of our
mayors to absent themselves from
the city whenever occasion required
it, and the law contemplates that
they shall do so for, it makes plain pro-
vision that i'll the absence of the mayor
the president of the city council shall
become acting mayor and be clothed
with all the power and authority of the
office. 1t so happened in this instance
that very capable gentleman was fill
ing the Office of president of council,
and there is no reason why Mayor
SMITH should doubt his competency to
discharge the duties pertaining to the
mayoralty in his absence. But it also
happened that the mayor did not go
away for the purpose of devolving
upon his temporary successor any
responsibility that he himself might
be unwilling to assume, for he
returned in ample time to COM
plete all the unfinished business
that was left on his desk when he went
away. The incident serves to illustrate
the folly of jumping at conclusions, as
was done by the Republican press of
this city, who, in their anxiety to make
party capital, did gross and unpro-
voked injustice to most worthy gentle
man. These eXcitable newspaper gen.
! tlemen ought to feel ashamed of them
selves, and doubtless do, for their
inconsiderate conduct. Instead of max
ing capital against Mayor SMITH and
his administration, they have subjected
themselves to ridicule.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The call for the Democratic county
convention is published in this morn
ing's GLOBE. Friday next is the day
fixed for the convention, and the prima-
ries will be held the preceding evening
between the hours of and Z. 1t is to
be hoped that every Democratic voter
IN the city will feel it his duty to respond
to the call and will make it his business
to go to the polls on Thursday evening
between the hours designated and cast
his ballot. The Importance of discharg-
ing this duty is too apparent to any man
of intelligence to need argument in sup
port of it. This, of all years, is the
year when activity and harmony should
prevail in Democratic circles. Every
Democrat should put his shoulder
to the wheel and all should stand
together in the great battle that is to be
fought in defense of great principles
that are essential to the prosperity of
the country. Next Fridays convention
will elect twenty-eight delegates to rep
resent Ramsey county in the state con-
vention to be held in this city on the
18th of August, which will probably be
the most important state convention in
the history of Minnesota Democracy.

LUCK WAS WITH THEM:
Narrow Escape of a Number of
Wood Cutters From Terrible

Death.
OTTAWA, July 23.-One hundred tim
Der cutters working on Perley and
Patte's timber limits On Bouchere river
recently had miraculous escape from
terrible death. Last week bush fires
started simultaneously at four points of
the compass short distance from the
camp where the lumbermen were at
work. The flames swept down upon
the men, who were not aware of their
perilOus situation until the fire was al
most upon them and all means of escape
shut off. They were forced to retreat
from the lumber depot in which all their
provisions, stock and implements were
stored, only to see it doomed by the
merry element which was fast overtaking
them. Men who probably never prayed
before fell upon their knees and asked
to be saved from the dreadful fate that
seemed inevitable. Their prayers were
answered; as the last ray of hope of
deliveranee had vanished a black cloud
was seen rapidly gathering in the west,
and in a short time heavy storm passed
over the burning district in which the
men were imprisoned, deadening the
fire sufficiently to enable them to
escape. A number of the men were
suffering from the intense heat they
had endured

being subjected to the statutory test.
The third ten-inch gun is within three

mainder are in process of construction.
Two of the four S-inch carriages for the

Little Napoleon's Case Is Now in
the Hands Of Gov. Hill.

Special to the Globe.
ALBANY, N. Y, July 23.-Edgar NJ
Johnson, attorney for Hen Ives.
the defaulting financier, argued before
Gov Hill this afternoon against the
granting of eXtradition papers to take
Ives to Ohio to answer the charge of
embeZzlement. He said the matter of
the Cincinnati & Dayton Railroad COM
pany VS.. Ives was simple local matter
and sort of personal fight. The gov
ernor has, of course, no right to decide
whether crime was committed against
the state of Ohio. He then proceeded to
show that the crime charged was not
against the state. He had never seen
the indictment until to-day. but still
made an eloquent address in his clients
favor. William Nj. Pugh, assistant dis
trict attorney of Cincinnati, argued for
the extradition papers on the ground
that the crime was against a state cor
poration. The governor took the mat
ter under advisement.

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July 23.-The grievance
committee of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers will meet again to-day
to hear further reports from the balloting
of the "Q'' strikers. 1t is expected the
canvass will be complete by the middle
of the week. Quite large number of
the strikers left last night to attend the
meeting of the engineers, firemen and
sWitchmen to be held at st. Joe, Mo-,
tomorrow. The meeting is expected to
be the largest assembly of working
railroad men ever known in this country.
All the great railroad lines of the states
and Canada will be represented. The
meeting was called to consider the
Burlington strike.
1t is believed from statements made
by various brotherhood men, that the
st. Joe meeting may develop into the
preliminary step toward a general
boycott being ordered against the so"
road on Aug. 1, the date on which the
heavy grain crops of i, the states pene-
trated by the 20" system will be ready
for transfer to market.
1.-The % grievance committee has had
no meeting since Saturday and will
have none until after the session of the
engineers, firemen, switchmen and
brakemen at st. Joseph. Mo-, which
commences tomorrow" said Mr.. Gould,
of the grievance committee. to-day.
The majority of the delegates returned
home Saturday. l would have gone
back to Des Moines then. but l have
been delegated to attend to the trans
portation of strangers to the st. Joe
convention"
sit was rumored that at a meeting to-
day the strike would be declared off?'
Not bit of it. The strike is still
on, and will remain OH from present in
dications. The men are steadfast.
They do not propose to bulge an inch.
The strike looks as far from settlement
as ever. 1 honestly have no idea how it
will end. Perhaps the st. Joe meeting
may help us to a solution. A majority
of the strikers have already rejected
the @" proposition taken out by Hoge
and Murphy. So that matter is ended"

SURPRISE TO THE TRADE.

Such the Failure of Bates & CO.,
of New York, Proves to Be.
New YORK, July 23.-Levi M. Bates.
dry goods dealer at Sixth avenue and
Twenty-third street, who some time ago
bought the business of Conkling 81 Chiv-
Wis and assumed their liabilities, con-
fessed Judgment to the amount of $780,
263. Mr.. Bates estimates his liabilities
at S250,000, and says the assets
are sufficient to pay in full. The
failure is attributed to dull business, to
the fact that Mr.. Bates paid too much
for the stock of Conkling Il Chivvis, and
to various outside losses. including
$4,000 by the failure of Metcalf Bros. 81
Co.. of Detroit. Mr.. Bates was thought
to be very wealthy, and the failure is a
great SurprISe to the trade.

HEINOUs OUTRAGE.

A Young Girl Has Her Eyes Torn
from Their Sockets by Would
Be Rayisher.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 23.-Sallie
Miller, respectable colored girl, was
assaulted here Saturday night by a
negro named Flowers, who had been her
lover. The girl resisted the overtures
of the negro and he throttled her until
she was insensible. Not contented with
this he attempted to stifle her cries after
she became conscious, and was so en-
ragged because she would not keep still
that he tore out the girls eyes from
their sockets. The agonizing screams
of the girl brought men to her assist
ance, and the negro fled. Physicians
were summoned and they found Sallie
horribly bruised, and of course totally
blind. She told who her assailant was,
and he was soon under lock and key.
There was considerable talk of lynching
Flowers, but it is not expected that such
an event will take place. Extra guards
have been put on the Jail.
