NO ESCAPE.
The Party Forced to Submit to
the Dominant Ring.

If Scheffer could be nominated, the
party would in measure be freed from
these influences.
But there is very little danger of his
success next week.
He is the strongest candidate in the
field if the people were left to decide;
but the weakest with the ring.
If nominated. the contest between
him and Wilson would be very close,
for Eugene Wilson is the strongest can
didate ever nominated by any party in
this state, and if the Republican party
don't choose to think so, it has only to
nominate Merriam, McGill, Gilman,
or Braden to find out.
Eugene Wilson will defeat Merriam or
McGill, or Gilman or Braden just as
easy as the right always triumphs over
what is wrong.
With Scheffer the contest would be
closer, and if Mr.. Wilson won it would
be because this state has finally decided
that a good Democrat is preferable any
time to a good Republican.
Scheffer will not be nominated, even
i'm the face of the positive knowledge
that he would support high license,
that he is in sympathy with the farm
ers and that he would poll phenome-
nally heavy vote.
The nominee will be McGill, Merriam
or Gilman. The triumph of the ''ma-
chine" will be complete in the election
of any one of these three, although
Gilman would be the least tractable of
the trio.
The PiIlsburys, Sabins, Langdons,
Washburns and all the rest who have
played the role of "wreckers" for years
must be protected.
There is United States senatorship
in view and one of them must have it,.
They need it. 1t is to bolster up fail
ing fortunes and bad politics.
To control the federal patronage that
may be; manipulate state Offices; reg
ulate grain inspection and foster the
s'infant Industries" known as railroads.
This combine has Scheffer on the hip
and it is crushing him day Dy day. To
say that he will be nominated would
only be holding out false hopes to his
friends.

ciple then, and whichever won, the gov
ernment would be honestly admins
tered.
There is no immediate prospect of
this being done; and since there is not,
Eugene Wilson will be the next gov
ernor of Minnesota.
No man who is his inferior in all the
qualities that command votes can defeat
him.
Merriam, if nominated, cannot hold a
candle to him.
Is he statesman?
Is he free from the taint of railroad
control?
Is he pledged to tariff reform?
Does he represent anything but a
"barrel?"
What of McGill?
And where is Gilman, or Braden OF
Rice?
These men are professional Office
seeking politicians.
They represent a deSire-a craving
for the lOaves and fishes.
The time has passed when such tim
ber will be selected by the-peOple for
an ornament and support to the house
of state.
Handicapped by false leaders,
weighted down by corporate power,
the Republican party will sign its own
death warrant next Wednesday, by
nominating a man so far removed from
the people that they will refuse to rec
OgniZe him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 91.-Dlscussion
of the conference report on the sundry
civil bill occupied most of the time of
the house to-day. The report was taken
up Immediately after some routine busi-
had been disposed of, and amendments
upon which an agreement had not been
reached, were first considered. The
senate amendment, providing for the
continuance of work on the congress-
ional library, was discussed all the aft
ernoon. Mr.. Payson, of Illinois, de-
nounced the library building scheme as
eXtravagant. 1t could not be finished
for less than $4,000, 600, and might cost
Sl6,0OO,000. The house insisted on it's
disagreement to this amendment, and
pending action on other amendments,
at . p. IN. took recess until s o'clock.
AT the evening session Mr.. Bingham,
of Pennsylvania called up the bill
granting pension of $500 per annum
to the widow of the late Gen. Philip II.
Sheridan. Mr.. Cheadle, of Indiana, OBJ
jected, and raised the point of no
quorum; but he was willing that it
day when there should be full house.
Mr.. Bingham then asked that the bill
be made a special order for tomorrow,
but to this Mr.. Kilgore, of Texas, OBJ
jected, declaring frankly that his OBJ
ject was
TO DEFEAT THE BILL.
Mr.. Bingham thereupOn withdrew the
bill, and it was allowed to retain its
place on the calendar. MIR. Kilgore also
raised the point of no quorum against
the next bill, called up by Mr.. Caruth,
of Kentucky. Mr.. Caruth said he would
withdraw the bill and let the RESPONSE
bility for its defeat rest where it be-
longed. Mr.. KilgOre replied that when
he desired the gentleman to lecture him
he would invite him to do so. He was
responsible to his constituents for his
action, and if any member wanted to
make personal matter of it he could.dO
so whenever he saw proper. Twenty
and the house, at 1880, adjourned until
tomorrow.

THE TWIN CITIES.
Their Influence Has Been En-
tirely BanefuI.

/
Had the influence of Ramsey and
HennepiH counties been less upon the
Republican party for the last four years
than it has, that organization might be
in healthy condition to-day.
The wrecking, disorganization. inter-
! necine wars and bolts have directly
emanated from the Republican leaders
of st. Paul and Minneapolis. The past
history of the party bears this assertion
out.
Commencing with the contest between
Loren Fletcher and Albert Scheffer in
1884, down to the trouble between Gil
mau and McGill in 1856 and then to the
present embitterment between Merriam
and Scheffer, ample evidence is at hand
to demonstrate that the grasping and
greedy Republican leaders of st. Paul
and Minneapolis have never failed to
sacrifice their party to their own in
terestS.
The Fletcher-Scheffer imbroglio of
1884 at Saltwater cost the Republicans
a congressman in 1886.
The ambition of Pillsbury to become
United States senator in the event of
Sabin's death forced upon the Republic
can party McGill IN 1886, and nearly lost
them the state.
II plQuC III lOCO bilC SuCCCoS
ofSGilfillan in securing the congressional
nomination cost the regular ticket in
Vulnerable votes fOrsOoth, because
Fletcher sulked.
Stanford Newel's ''sDap" call and
county convention in 1886, by which
Ramsey county indorsed McGill, cost
the Republican party the support of
Gilman and Knute Nelson that year.
The flop of tine Pioneer Press from
tariff reform to high tax has cost the
party this year the bulk of the Nor
wegian vote.
The ambition of s. S, Merriam to be
United States senator fOisted upon the
state the most expensive session of the
house ever known, aroused a personal
warfare between Albert Scheffer and
himself; induced an Independent farm
ers' party to be organized; has alienated
what was left of the German vote anG
has brought Donnelly into the field to
add to the confusion.
At the same time Merriam's canvass
has made of Ramsey and Hennepin
counties mere rotten boroughs, and set
an example for corruption pernicious in
the extreme.
The railroad influences; the grain
pool; the tax title combinations, all
these pests, inimical to good govern
ment and which have haraSSed and
weakened the Republican party, have
originated with its leaders in the Twin
Cities.

an elegant and commodious structure,

The dilemma that confronts the Re-
publican party of this state is so peculiar
that it deserves close attention. That
party is stu ated as it never has been
before, j. e., forced on the defensive.
The wisest, presumably to be named as
Pillsbury, Fletcher, Newell and Wash
burn, have offered no solution of the
muddle. They may have suggested
how matters should go. but have utterly
failed to take the rudder of the party
craft and guide it in the right direction.
The change since 1884 has been start
ling. Then-a party flushed with
majority of 41,000; now party, torn
and sundered by internal dissensions
and positively forced to defend every
step that it takes. A review of the field
is valuable at this time.

Which There Has Been So Much
Kicking.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, g.91.-The passage
of the fortifcatiOn bill was the event in
the senate to-day. The house joint res
olution extending the provisions of
former resolution, providing for the ex
penditures of the government until
Sept. Is, was reported and passed. Mr..
CullOm'S resolution, offered yesterday,
was taken up, calling on the secretary
of the treasury for information as to the
extent to which merchandise has been
shipped to and from Canada free of bond
since the 1St of July, 1885, when article
be in force; and also asking by what
authority of law such transit in bond
had been permitted. Mr.. George op-
posed the resolution as unnecessary,
holding that the president could not
prevent the transfer of goods coming
into the United States destined for
Canada. Mr.. Cullom said he had not
examined the statutes critically, and
agreed to let the resolution go over
without action. Mr.. Vest, replying to
statement made by Mr.. Cullom yester-
day, to the effect that Postmaster Judd,
of Chicago, allowed postoffice employees
there to be taxed for campaign expenses
by Mr.. Esher, the law partner of Mr..
Mr.. Judd. said, if the charges were
true, the officials should be removed.
Mr.. Vest then had read, as bearing
upon interference in campaign matters,
letters sent several years ago by Mr..
Cullom to Commissioner of Pensions
Dudley, asking leave of absence for a
pension examiner
TO MAKE POLITICAL SPEECHES
in Illinois. Mr.. Cullom admitted hav-
ing written such letters and defended
his action on the ground that govern
ment clerks were entitled to thirty days
annual leave with pay, and during their
leave had a right TO make political
speeches. Mr.. Cullom had then read
long and amusing account from the
Chicago Tribune about an interview be-
tween reporter and Mr.. Judd's law
partner on the subject of assessing the
pOstoffice employees of that city. Mr..
Hale pointed to modern instance" of
violation of civil service reform in the
case of John w. Trainor, on official of
the interior department; but who, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, is
in charge of the document room
of the national Democratic CON-
mittee in New York city. He
suggested to Mr.. Vest that he should
have the secretary of the interior lay
his strong hand on Mr.. Trainor and
either bring him home or remove him,
''or promote him." suggested Mr.. Hoar.
"And if the senator fail with the secre-
tary it is his duty to lay the case before
the PRESIDENT" said Mr.. Hale. Mr..
Vest suggested that Mr.. Hale add this
case to his labors on the civil service
committee. He had not brought into
the discussion the declarations of par
tisan newspaper. He would as soon
quote from
THIS WRITINGS OF TOM PAINE
to Christian congregation as to quote
any statement against the Democratic
party from the New York Tribune.

First Blood for Merriam.
special to the Globe.


WAsEcA, Minn., Aug. 31.-At the Re-
publican primaries held in this city to-
night the ticket headed by Merriam was
carried by close vote. All day from
the lugubrious appearance of the Mer-
riam hosts it was evident that they
realized that there had been revOlu-
ton of sentiment in favor of MCGill,
and that at the primaries in this city
which week or more ago could be car
ried for Merriam almost without effort
there would be required considerable
work to wheedle the recreant ones into
line. This, however, they succeeded in
doing and carried the caucus for him by
a small majority. The carrying of these
primaries practically decides the con-
test in the county. and it is now con-
ceded by the most ardent supporters of
McGill that Merriam delegates will be
elected at the county convention, which
meets in this city tomorrow.

stitute for the bill prepared by the treas
ury department to prevent the intro
ductiOn of contagious diseases from one

be necessary to prevent the spread from
one state or territory to another of
cholera, yellow fever, smallpox or
plague, and to employ as many inspect
ors and other persons as may be neces-

regulations
