The Anti,Lottery politicians and Farmers
Union chiefs, who we're parties to the Lafay-

the fact that they are cordially endorsed by

Of the traders to disband the old fashioned
Democratic party and organize a spurious one,
composed OF Anti.Lottery Leaguers, Anti
Lottery Farmers Union men and Anti.Lottery
Republicans, was certainly calculated to
animate the bosoms of all true blue Republi-
cans, such as the GID. with exceeding great
joy. The little thing, however, appears to
have .sdied a borning..

THE sPEAKERsHIP.

1t was certainly not the expected that
happened yesterday at Washington.
Popular opinion inclined to the belief
that but few ballots would be required
to definitely settle the question of the
speakership of the Fifty-second con-
gress. But the result was deadlock,
followed by an adjournment until Mon
day, and at the present writing no prac-
teal significance can be derived from
the days proceedings. To the last each
candidate held his following with ap-
parently as firm grip as at the first
vote taken in the Democratic caucus.
1t can be considered certain, however,
that the contest will on Monday narrow
down to battle royal between MILLS
and CRISP, with but little, if any ,advan-
tage on either side. The withdrawal of
any one of the other four contest
ants would precipitate the crisis. Then
the fight would be short, sharp and
decisive. Seldom, if ever, in the con-
gressional history of the country have
stronger men, or more merltOrious can
didates, been presented before any pre-
liminary caucus for the speakerShip of
the house. This fact, in a great meas
ure, accounts for the firm hold which
each has. SO far, taken upon his follow
ing. This Sunday can be passed in
hearty assurance that the nominee of
the caucus will be acceptable to the
Democratic party at large.
The Republican caucus played out
the farce of nominating the officers of
the last house, including the picturesque
and historical Tom REED, and adj
iOurned.

each other respectfully, and give due
weight to each others ideas.
Travellers who tarry in the midst of us
for while carry away invariably one
impression from their visits, which is
this: There is no place in the country
where there are so many men who COM
bine at once good fellowship, ability
and success in the world. In other
quarters bonhomie is the trait OF the
laggard and the ne'er-do-well. Crust
mess, taciturnity and offishness charac-
terize those who hold the power in the
community. In st. Paul it is all differ
ent, whether we look at private or pub
lie life. No man stands higher at the
bar or on the rostrum than CUSHMAN K.
DAVIS, and no man is kinder, more
generous, more approachable, more
genial than be is. No one outranks
WILLIAM r. MERRIAM in executive
ability, in capacity to analyZe a situation
with accuracy and rapidity, in power to
do and to direct; and at the same time
he is the heartiest, the broadest. the
kindeSt, the truest. and the simplest of
men. And like things are true of the
enterprising and successful president of
the chamber of commerce, of the Off
GERS of our other commercial organiza-
tons, Of the heads of our jobbing
houses and financial institutions. They
are. with only few exceptions, people
whom one hurries to overtake that he
may walk with them OH the street, or
whom one is glad to talk with at dinner
or in the clubs. ST. Paul nurtures a race
of strong and interesting citizens.

The st. Paul GLOBES Thanksgiving
number is a masterpiece of advertising

such paper.-Delano Eagle.
