St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-06-19
resolution, which went through with a
shout which raised the roof:

heSOlVeQ, InaG IL is evident from the re-
cent. insulting treatment received at the
hands of st. Paul men, sustained and con
nived at by its press. that they have NO SYM
pathy for US, and have no desire for our
friendship.
Accepting this as the situation, we hereby
pledge ourselves that we will use all means
In our power to have the state capital re-
moved elsewhere, and we promise to CO
operate with the people from any section OF
the state to effect such removal; and Will use
all efforts, regardless of party, to send to sue
ceeding legislatures men united on this sub
ject.
F. B. Hart was at last induced to come
forward. He roasted William Pitt Muir
ray, referring to him as man without
character, but not without reputation.
He also charged that st. Paul was re-
sponsible for the outrage, in that it had
tolerated William Pitt Murray for about
thirty years.
John Day Smith was the next man
called for by the audience. He said
that the legal aspect of the case had
been sufficiently discussed. ae treated
it from a business standpoint. He
thought that st. Paul was no longer a
rival of Minneapolis, not being OF suffi-
cient Importance, and he urged Mlnne-
apOlis merchants to cease patrOnizing
st. Paul dealers.
Mr.. Eustis then arose again and an
nOunced, that inaSmuch as some per-
sons had an idea that the United States,
census inspector, now in the city, was
at the bottom of the whole matter, he
felt called upon to state that such was
not the case. The inspector had nothing
to do with it. Mr.. Eustis also referred
to j. W. ManniX. and of course Joe was
called for and spoke one of bis mild,
conciliatory speeches. Joe said he was
not the mOuthpiece Of the Pioneer
Press, but he expressed sorrow for what
had occurred. Had there been no
ladies present, Joe probably would have
wept.
o. G. Merriman, who was chairman Of
the committee which drew up the reso-
lutions which had been adopted. was
called for, and responded by condemn
ing the alleged outrage.
Odel Fires a Bomb.
United States Commissioner Odell
then arose to say few words. To all
appearances Mr.. Odell was the most ex-
cited man in the room. His face was
flushed, his eyes flashed fire, his teeth
came together like steel trap,
his form fairly trembled with
passion, and, on the whole, he
looked like gladiator OF old longing to
grasp the throat Of an antagonist and
let out his life blood. Mr. Odell said
but few words, but they counted.
After referring to the alleged outrage
on the enumerators, he hissed:
81 want to tell you people one thing.
We are not only going to remove the
capital from St. Paul, but we are going
to remove the governor from st. Paul,
toO."
Considering that Odell is Repub-
lican, this was rather startling State
ment, but he made it more so. While
the hall rang with cheers, Odell arose
again and shouted ever above the noise
of the crowd:
81 want to tell you one thing more
and see some of you out there who are
ready to call me down. | want to tell
you that not one move is made by that
governor in Minneapolis that is not
dictated by L. Lowry.
There were few cheers after this
last, but Odelps remarks seemed to
have given the audience food for
thought and 1t quietly dispersed,
although the overflow meeting outside
was not over for some time afterward.
