1T Is HISTORIC.
st. Paul Has Laid Down Memoir
able Political PRINCIPLES.

To the Editor of the Globe.
1t seems to be forgotten that st Paul
has already been made famous by pOliti-
clans of national fame as the proper
and fitting place to announce the prin-
ciples that were to govern their respect
i've parties in approaching presidential
campaigns. In 1859 William II. Seward
opened the approaching Republican
campaign in his famous speech of
who's Afraid and, standing on the
steps of the capitol, made the famous
prediction, SD often quoted, that within
a circle of twenty miles of where he
stood would be found the ultimate seat
of power in North America.
Next, in 1868, Horatio Seymour
opened the then approaching Demo
cratic campaign at the old concert has,
on Third street. the ruins of which ar,
still to be found just west of the roller
mill on the bluff side of that street. He
laid down the principles of the Democ-
racy that governed the approaching
campaign.
Then. in 1869, at the old skating rink
on Seventh street, George ii. Pendleton,
in behalf of the Democracy, laid down
the principles that became the law of
the party for which he spoke.
None of these events were the result
of accident. But, without suggestions
from within this city, these statesmen
and their friends came to the deliberate
conclusion that st. Paul was the proper
place to open the campaigns for which
they spoke.
If such was the fact, then why not
follow the precedents and hold the
Democratic convention here? 1t is i'm
possible to see why any citizen
can oppose it, especially a Demo
crat. My duty as citizen
is clearly in favor of having the con-
ventiOn in St. Paul. But you know |
am Republican. and see in the distance
rising before me that if the Democ-
racy come here in June they will get
filled with ozone; and, Notwithstanding
they might be slightly filled with other
things, they would be likely to adopt a
platform so much better than could be
expected elsewhere, that after leaving
the free and ''w0olly West" with the
dash and force acquired by their soJourn
here, they would incontinently clean
out the z. o. p.
Then again [ hear their speakers
quoting Scripture and exclaiming Now
by st. Paul the work goes bravely On.'
and they would SO mix up their princi
Piles with the good and reputable names
of the saint and the city that ordinary
voters could not tell whether they were
preaching the gospel or talking politics,
and this don't like. Very truly yours,
GIDEON GRIP.

TWENTY WE'RE BURIED.
Cruel Abandonment of WoPkmen
in the Landslide.

in the Landslide.
Special to the Globe
HOr SPRINGS. Wash, Nov. 3c.-The
worst concerning last Wednesdays
landslide wreck ON the Northern
Pacific, which buried twenty men,
has not been told before.
Investigation made today shows that
the railroad allowed the debris, earth
and trees under which the men were
buried to be piled up higher with mud
as it has run down the Cliff side on this
debris. The main line has been re-
constructed so that there is no
probability of the bodies being taken
out unless the state makes an investiga-
ton. sst
Foreman Murray, at Canton. adj
United today that he saw from fifteen to
twenty men go into the river beneath
the slide. Two bodies were taken out,
and were hoated down the river, the
the others being left behind. In
tense indignation prevails along
the line of the railroad, and the state
will be asked to investigate. The work.
men have checked up their comrades
and found twenty missing, whom, they
say, are now dying under the track or
the rivers edge.
Just after the slide and since the men
asked leave to search for their friends,
and say they were refused by the Off
Gals. The foreman said that the
bodies would make a good founda-
ton and might better be left. Tho
railroad officials say many of the
lost men fOated down the river, and
that taking up track and searching will
now be too expensive to carry out. The
foreman estimates the number of men
buried under the track at fifteen to
twenty-five. The correct number is
probably about twenty.

HELENA. Mont, Nov 30.-Saturday
morning the west span of the Great

three of whom are dead and six injured
three fatally. The killed are:

David Wymer leg broken and head cut.
The accident was caused by the four
large guy rods falling from the top and
striking the false work. The framing
was nearly completed and only the last
span was to be bolted. John Pooley
was wheeling the iron rods on the
span with dolly. The incline to the
span was covered with frost, aud the
dolly got unmanageable and went over
the side, striking one of the supports of
the false work. The entire span of
sixty feet went down with crash. The
dead and injured were pinned under
huge timbers, which in falling eighty
feet, were twisted into all shapes. Two
of the dead were found in four feet Of
water under the wreck.

corn scored gain of &c at 75e. but December
and May lost lac and 1sc at 1890 and 42s4c
respectively. At 34l2c November oats gained

A scarcity of stocks for sale on the New

New York for st. Paul.

New York Telegram.
The city of st. Paul is disposed to
essay the role of Me Too to that so
auspiciously undertaken by Minneap-
oils.
Why should it not? St. Paul and
Minneapolis are accustomed to this re-
iationship. Whenever one of these
communities gets anything, the other
cries for it, or for an equal slice. st.
Paul, it is true, has been accustomed to
look upon Minneapolis as its under
study. But this is view restricted TO
st. Paul. Minneapolis, while conced-
ing st. PauPs superior title to certain
mercantile relationships with the in
terror, has insisted that its unique
water power dozen miles further up
the liver, with the marvellous attendant
development. has given it the para
mount Importance as the seat of North
western enterprise.
There seems 10 be no inherent reasons
why the demand of st. Paul for the DIS
tiDction of holding the next Democratic
national convention should not be in
Stantly complied with. The Republi-
can national committee has located its
convention at Minneapolis, not, we may
presume, solely with the object of get
ting it as far as possible from Plat and
Fassett and Elliott F. Shepard. Its ac-
ton was justified by the alleged neces-
sity of redeeming the Northwest from
Democratic inroads.
Must not the Democrats now follow
snit? Shall they not copper this shrewd
Republican play? 1t is not likely that
they will care to abandon their new con-
quests in the field of Northwestern Re-
publicansm. Their true policy would
be to keep all they've got and get all
they can out there.
The best thing for the Democrats to
do, in order to paralyze the enormous
manifestation of Republican craft evil
denced by the holding of their conven-
ton in Minneapolis, would be. of course,
to pitch the tents OF the Democratic con-

ON four sides. Smith park was Sug
gested, but the thought was immedi-
ately dropped when it became known
that the PURPOSES of this Dehest cannot
be converted, else the title reverts to the
estate of the donor. Then Central park
and Lafayette park were cited as ele-
CANT sites, and it became a question OF
which will result to the largest benefit
of the city, beautiful park or mag

above, all these things are merely Incl
dental, and they are only quoted as q
testimony to the sincerity with which
the city is engaged in the contest.
A great deal of additional enthusiasm
was stirred up when it was generally
known that the New York Telegram.

The Empire State.
And it was also asserted. upon good
authority, that Omaha will combine
with st. Paul, IN the event it learns that
there is no show of taking the cOnven-
tim to Nebraska. North Dakota and
Montana are said to be certain allies,
and Iowa looks upon the project with
favor, while the press of the country in
nearly all instances, where not lntlu-
enced by spirit of active rivalry, speaks
kindly of st. Paul'S crusade.
Hon. d. w. Lawler was one of the
first to take active steps in the move
meHt, and he chose a course that can
scarcely fail to bear fruits. He te!e-
gTaphed Saturday night. rendering his
residence to the South Dakota delega-
ton during the convention days.
II have given them the offer of a full
house, to use it as they please" said he to a
GLOBE reporter. ''They will find it ample
for all their purposes, and comfortable, too,
if it is not the most palatial residence in the
city. I'll move my family out TO White Bear
and turn over the keys. They can break the

rious time, just as they please. l don't care

MAUD NI'KENzIE DEAD.
Eighth Victim of the Accident at
Toledo.

TOLEDO, O.. Nov. 80. The coroner's
inquest to inquire into the accident Sat
urday night was commenced at the court
house today. The inquest will last two
or three days. The railroads will make
strong fight to prove that the accident
was the account of God, with nobody to
blame. Maud Mckenzie, aged four,
daughter of j. A. Mckenzie, of Min
neapoliS, died at 1870 this after
noon at st. Vincent's hospital.
She makes the eighth victim of
the accident. Her mother, Mrs. j. A.
Mckenzie, is very low and is not ex-
pected to live. Maud is the second
daughter Mr.. Mckenzie has lost by this
accident. He is almost distracted over
the probability of his wife's injuries
proving fatal, and it is feared he will
lose his mind.

In arguing that the Republican ma

Unless some big move be made Minneso-

which we can i'll afford to bear, now that

fine as any others in the country, and
ct Paul, having had many years of ex-
perience as a fashionable summer re-
sort, understands how to handle sud
den and considerable influx of visitors.
1t would be hard to conceive of I more
charming location for convention at
that season of the year when our ma

The suferIngs endured by delegates TO
conventions held in cities south of the
Ohio line are the most eloquent reasons
why conventions should now and hence

ut is the eleverest financial scheme have
heard in years." he exclaimed. 1.-The mar
ket house brings Ia practically no revenue,
and here is project to make II the most
profitable institution in the entire city. As a
Republican, insist upon contributing to the
cost of this structure. st. Paul needs the
hall, and st. Paul doesn't want to be pen
siOner on the Democratic party. Every cltl-
zen ought to be glad TO help and if he isn't
he ought TO be forced to paw by taxing him.
We want a big nall to receive our guests from
year to year tor all time. There is time TO
rebuild the market into commodious ana
complete auditorium that Will reflect credit
upon the city"
This motion prevailed.
The Guarantee Fund.
H. P. Hall stated that $4,000 must be
raised to guarantee the committee, and
there is little difficulty in this if the
building is provided by the city.
George Thompson suggested that
plan of the proposed auditorium be
drawn to take on to Washington, and he
wanted to include as one of the duties
of the auditorium committee the project
of new capitol site, but this received
no second.
F. G. Stevens stated that he positively
knew that unless hall Is provided st.
Paul will never get another state Re-
publican convention.
NJ. r. Prendergast addressed the
meeting in favor of providing for
commodious public library in the audi
forum, and H. S. Falrchild had good
word for the scheme, while II. F. Stev-
ems gave the committee the benefit of
his experience OH the Republican hust-
ling committee that was so gloriOuSly
successful.
Capt. Castle explained that not more
than 10 per cent of the fund subscribed
would ever be called for il the project
failed, and Mr.. Stevens replied that
Minneapolis only drew per cent to
meet necessary expenses i'll Washing
ton and in printing and i'll rents, etc.
This was ample, and will be ample in
the present event.
ID. ID. Merrill directed attention to the
fact that the committee had no general
treasurer, and he nominated William
BIckel, who was elected by acclama-
ton.
George Thompson wanted to give a
few words of good cheer before adjourn
ing. He declared that everywhere the
cry was for Minneapolis. and the DEM
ocratS all over the South say, go to
st. Paul to Offset the influence of the
Republican convention in Minneapolis"
Before he sat down he proposed to be-
gin at once the campaign of Cleveland
aud Blaine, but 10 one took up the sug
gestion and it dropped right there.
Immediately upon adjournment sew
eral of the committees met and arranged
for active work today. The canvass
will begin with push and zeal, and all
the solid men of st. Paul will be asked
to contribute TO the guarantee fund in a
liberal way.
The committee on promotion will
meet in the mayors office at O'Clock
this afternoon, and all the committees.

Right You Are.

Philadelphia Times
1t was an error to suppose mat St.
Paul would sit down in jealous tears
because Minneapolis had secured ma
tiOnal convention. Any one who did
suppose so did not know st. Paul, and
furthermore overlooked the fact that
there are to be two national conventions
next year. The second of these two
conventions st. Paul has marked for
her own, and will copper Minneapolis
promise to deliver the state for the Re-
publican party by all equally binding
agreement to hand it over to the Demo-
Gratis. After this display of unconquer-
able spirit it is only decent to wish that
st. Paul may get it.
