THEY'RE In DESPAIR.

Republican Defenders and Pa.
trops of Rings Are Not in 1t.
The Republican state central commit
tee is short of campaign speakers. This
has been its cry for more than a week
back. They say they find it next to
impossible to cover the state thoroughly
with campaigners. This is new situa-
ton for the Republicans to be in, and
the query arises, How does it happen?
There ale several reasons for it. In the
first place much of the brains of the
party have deserted it. The smartest
office, and left to follow the dictates of
their reason and conscience, have be-
come disgusted and dropped out. Many
of them are staying at home,
and when they are asked to go
out on the stump, they reply
that their affairs or professional duties
are so pressing that they cannot do so.
A few of the most aggressive ones have
left the party and gone over to the Dem
ocrats or Populists. As, for instance,
there is Gen. James Ii. Baker; he is
Democrat now, and is making speeches
in favor of tariff reform. Jim Bakers
departure is a great loss to the g. o. p.
He was by far their greatest war horse.
On tilo stump He JUL dilhSu dry ptpuU-
lcan in the state. Campaign after cam
palgn he went over the state sweeping
everything before him. The rest of ths
Republicans were midgetS by his side.
He Was known everywhere and re-
ceiyed with tremendous enthusiasm.
But the old party became too tough
for him, and they must do without him.
Broken promises and false pretenses
stared him in the face until he could en-
dure it no longer.
There are many lesser lights who
have year after year gone out with their
coats off and worked for that party; but

CHANGED TO DENVER.
Episcopal House OF Bishops Re-
fuses to Ratify the Selection
of San Francisco.
Spirited Discussion Over the Pro-
posed Church Unity Amend
mentS.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 2O.-At this morn,
ing's session of the general Episcopal
convention Judge Wilder, of Mime
sofa, reported unfavorably from the
committee on constitutional amend
ments the resolution to allow missionary
deputies to vote in the convention. The
report was adopted.
The house of bishops was in council
nearly all the morning. They adopted
a resolution non-cOncurring in the Sc
Lection of San Francisco as the next
place of meeting, and appointed anoth-
er committee OF conference. Denver.
the city first selected by the house of
deputies, will be agreed upon.
The discussion of the proposed
''Church Unity" amendments of Rev.
DR.. Huntington to the constitution of
the church resulted in the most spirited
scene of the whole convention, in which
DR.. Huntington was accused of sharp
practices in endeavoring to carry his
point. The amendment came up as the
order OF the day in the deputies. Pend
ing the smoothing over of the matter
the house took recess.
At the beginning of the afternoon
session DR.. Huntington presented the
report he had tried to offer in the morn.
ing. He offered substitutes for original
resolutions. These provide that the
LambethC Chicago, declarations be re.
ferred to the joint committee on reyi-
sion, and be requested to report at the
next meeting what changes they rec
commended.
The delay which would result in get
ting out the book caused this action. and
1t is likely that most of the prayer books
will be printed in Oxford. England. as
heretofore. DR.. Samuel Heart, of Trim
ity college, Connecticut, was elected re-
wiser OF the standard prayer book.
The convention then adjourned.

REPUBLICAN FAT FRYING" )"
1t Goes On Right Speedily in
South Dakota.

Special TO the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, Oct 20.-The Republican
state committee had better luck in their
"fat-frying" from the attaches of the
penitentiary in this city than with the
faculty of Brookings college. G. E. Nc
Kinney, Minnehaha's member of the
state central committee, not long since
called upon Warden Spooner and nOti-
fed him that the state Republican COM
mittee wanted $500 from that institu-
ton to help defray the Legitimate ex-
penSes of campaign of education.
Brother SpoOner Squirmed little at
first, but was finally convinced that it
was o. X. and raised the amount-add-
ing the contribution of all the employees
to bis own. 1t is said the Republicans
thought some OF assessing the convicts,
but this was finally abandoned.
The next attempt to eXtort political
blood money was made at the deaf and
dumb institution here. Mr.. Mckinney
notified Prof. Simpson that the commit
tee had decided that Sl00 would be the
proper sum for the teachers of that
school to disgorge. Prof. Simpson is
good Republican, but he peremptorily
refused to be bled in any snch manner.
Mckinney raved, and insisted that the
success OF the Republican party in the
state depended on those assessments.
Simpson was firm. and replied that the
school was not in politics: that his was
not political office, ana he absolutely
refused to be squeezed.

LUNA'S SHADOW.
1t Is Observed Successfully in Sew
eral Places in the United
States.
At Denver the Moon Began Opera
tions Seven Seconds Ahead
of Time.

New YORK, Oct. 2O.-Engineer Ma
ture has achieved reputation since the
days of Galilee for running on schedule
time, and the eclipse due to arrive to-
day was exactly on time. Not a cloud
hampered the observation from the time
the segment from the golden disc until
it passed from its face. At Washington
Prof. Eastman made a very satisfactory
observation, the atmosphere being in
excellent condition. The shadow was
observed to cross the sun from the top
downward, and with what might be
called westerly movement.
DENVER. Col, Oct. 20.-A partial
eclipse of the sun was observed at the
Chamberlain ObservatOryat University
park this morning. The observation
showed that the moon came seven sec
Onds ahead OF time, and, of course, end
ed before the predicted period.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.-A steady rain
storm began early this morning, and
continued all day, preventing any OBJ
servation OF the partial eclipse of the
sun which occurred today.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 20.-The sky was
overcast with clouds all day, and the
eclipse of the sun could not he OBJ

THEY'RE ALL AFRAID,
North Dakota Republicans Refuse
a Joint Debate.


Special to the Globe.
FARGO, n. D., Oct. 20.-For six weeks
there has been a standing challenge
frop the Cleveland and Stevenson club.
of this city,to the Republican Flambeau
club to participate in joint debate, at
any time and place, and any number to
take part, at the selection of the Repub-
club. The challenge has not been ac-
cepted and last night M. n. johnson.
candidate for congress on the Republi-
can ticket, being in the city to make a
speech, the following challenge was
published in the evening papers,:
To Hon. M. n. johnson: Whereas the
Cleveland and Stevenson club of the CITY of
Fargo, has challenged the Republican FIam-
beau club of said city to meet from one to
five members of said Democratic club in
JOINT debate on the issues of the presidential
campaign;
And, whereas said challenge, for some rea-
son unknown to the challengers, has been
declined;
Now, therefore, inasmuch as you are the
standard bearer of the Republican party of
North Dakota, and are to speak in this city
