St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1889-10-06

ident after close canvass that nineteen
out of every twenty men in the city IA
vOr Chicago. Every man who has the
interests of st. Paul at heart prefers
Chicago-recOgniZeS it as the natural
and commercial center in the first place,
and above all as the location from which
st. Paul will derive the greatest benefit.
Why should any MinneSOtian favor New
York? When he does, is there anything
in it? It has been darkly limited that a
little Doodle has been sent up here to
stimulate sentiment in favor OF New
York at so much line, but while this is
possible 1t is by no means probable.
There must be some explanation for
this booming for New York, but what
in the world can it be?
Long black coats and white chokers
have been plentiful during the week,
and chicken notably scarcer. The Meth
odist conference has been In session,
and st. Paul has been the center of all
observation for the Weslevans. The in
tereSt is yet to come. More than one
church congregation throughout the
state is holding its breath until sthe
changes for the ensuing year have been
announced, and some surprising results
are anticipated. 1t is the rumor that an
absurd social publication by ST. Paul
evening paper has had the result of de-
moralizing one Methodist church. and
may end in the changing of the pastor
to another conference. The Methodist
conference is quite an imposing body,
take 1t all around, and elOquence over
flows, as might be expected. The ability
to talk would naturally be looked for in
a gathering of ministers or lawyers. and
q Of fha
nation is compressed into this confer
ence. Raise some devotional point, and
see the brethren respond! 1t is fact,
however. that several of the most elo-
quent talkerS,aS well as ready debaters,
are among the lay delegates.
Minneapolis is once again after the
golden fleece, and will send out party
of ArgonautS to secure it. The fleece
in this case is the Republican national
convention of 1892. When it is said
Minneapolis is after it, the statement
should be qualified. The Journal is
making one believe that the city is losing
sleep over the question. The handsome
and rOtund committeeman, Robert &.
Evans, says on the subject:
You understand. my dear fellow,
this talk is little premature at this
must have something to write about,
you know. Still, / think we might get
the convention all right if we raise the
fund and get to work. 1t will take about
s30,0U0 for expenses. The cost of the
last Chicago convention was tritle over
5000"
Bob Evans is hustler, and being On
the committee will dO more than SEN
ator Davis did last time. But still the
chances are all against Minneapolis
being chosen. Chicago and the worlds
fair will probably knock out all other
competitors.
The base ball season is over for st.
Paul, and there is no wrangling over
the profits, either. There is another
wrangle, but it is ever the sale of Reilly,
the popular third baseman. President
Roche is one and Manager Thompson
and Treasurer Poupeny are two, and
two beat one every time. Two sold
Reilly and one objected, and there you
are. The management of the st. Paul
team will have fully conned over the
lesson taught by the last half of this
season, and then will apply it next year.
st. Paul wants winning team. and not
base ball kindergarten for wiser man
ayers. A ground somewhere in the
county and conveyance other than cat
tie cars would be leading elements in
success next year. Pitchers who could
pitch one ball in seven over the plate;
fielders who can play the bases without
wearing boxing gloves; ShortStOp who
can move without falling over his own
feet, and nine men who can swat the
ball when man is on third-try this
combination for winner next year.
