AyCoCK AND HIS RUNNING MATE.
OF course we all know it is going to
be Governor Aycock, anc by acc'amat-
ion, for, take it, Mr. Davidson Will
vet retire from the contest before the
vote for Governor is taken in the con-
ventlon.
1t is the duty OF every true party
man to listen to the demands OF the
majority OF his party and 1t is his boun-
den duty to accept any trust his party
sees fit to impose upon him and to
make the fight for his people.
Iti probable that Col. Cunningham
will be nominated for Lieut.. Governor
bv acclamation also. at least alter ont
vote has been taken, it not before. Ii
Is very evident that he is the choice OF
the majority and will be nominated on
the first ballot by large majority
Under the circumstances it will be his
duty to accept.
Most Democrats whom / have hearl
talk on the subject, especially Mr.. Ay
cocks original supporters, very 1reei
state that they think the nonor OF
nomination by acclamation Is due Col
~ Cunningham, and that it should be ten
t. dered tim, under all the circumstances
II 1t is very evident that the most a
" tute party leaders think this the prope
:. thing to do, because it is importas
that Col Cunningham be placed on tn
ticket. His reputation IL farm !

GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT
AS A HARVEST
CHANGING COUPON TICKETS
Clever Fraud Is Detected by n
Northern Pacific Conductor
News of Rail-
roads.

Repeated attention has been called In
the fact of the numerous ticket scalpe,s'
offices which have been opened up in
Chicago during the past few weeks, the
object of which is, of course, to manipu-
late, If possible, return portions of G. A.
r. excursion tickets.
The increased number of these offices
has rendered the competition between the
scalpers extremely close and every con
ceivabie means Of getting business is re-
sorted to by The jobbers in traffic. The
various roads are, constantly entering
complaints against the methods of the
dealers. not hesitating to say that they
are universally iIegitimate and fraudu-
lent. In number of cases substantial
proof has been offered by the companies
in support Of their charges
The Northern Pacific company seena f.,
have been the victim Of some very adroir
but none the less shady work of the
scalpers of late. The company has h en-
notified by one of its st. Paul-ChicaSo
roads that the destination on its tickets
were being changed by Chicago scalpers
TIE Chicago Office asks that the North
ern Pacific keep a close watch on all its
tickets, so that any crooked work may
be detected and the purpose OF the scalp
ers foiled.
While the n. P. has no definite in
formation 10 prove that any Of these
tickets have been caught it did recently
detect similar change in certain tickets
OF the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul IL
sue.
A citizen of Livingston, Mont, recently
went into scalpers office at 176 Clark
street, Chicago, thinking that he was en-

with the man from the West, who inquir.

hind the counter asked him to have d

a short time with what he represented
were two tickets to the Westerner's de-
tiratiOn, which is by the way, just Lt0
mics west of St. Faul The Livingston
man accepted the tickets, paying wiiai
the scalper asked for them. He and his
companion rode as far as st. Paul on
the tickets without encountering any DIFF
ficulty, but when they presented The tick
cts to the Northern Pacific conductor lie
detected that the destinations had been
changed, and took them up. The forgery
was a clever one.
1t is evident that while the Geluded
passenger waited in the office at Chicago
the scalper went to the ticket office OF

tickets which by close examination,
were found to be tickets TO Anoka. MINI.

by the use of acid took out the real des-
tination, which was written in, and sub
stituted in its stead Livingston, Mont,
and To make the work OF detection more
difficult used a check protector over the
destination.
OF course the passengers were obliged
to pay their regular fare from St. Paul
to Livingston, which amounted u $GG.

DESTROYING MONEY i'm WASHINGTON

Special Correspondence of the Globe:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-If you go into
the United States treasury building
through the basement entrance, you al
most think yourself In the shipping room
OF a wholesale store. New boxes stand
around on all sides, and men are busy
mailing them up, piling them on trucks
and wheeling them out of sight down the
long dark hall. This hall is like an under
ground tunnel to carry water; it is all
stone and plaster, not an inch Of wood
work being visible anywhere, and ii is
lighted by electric lamps overhead.
Watchmen, who chew tobacco, wear
star and look exactly like music hall
''bouncers," stand around and are in force
wherever a passage crosses the main hall.
After you walk down this narrow tunnel
about block you come to a very mar
row little flight of iron steps that bring
you out in front of the office of the sec
rotary OF the treasury. Here I found
dozen people who were waiting to be
shown the money vault. One must first
register in a huge book, and a messenger
will then show you the interesting things
connected with the great bank of Uncle
Sam. The treasurer is a fine looking gen
tleman with very white hair Around him
were fitting back and forward several of
the blacklist negros I have ever seen
One of these was assigned to show the
visitors about the building He was very
much inclined to give all kinds Of in
formation.
The first important exhibit to be shown
US was the vault in which are kept the
United States bones. This vault was
closed and locked and outside the door
was a very neat and very little pile Of
EondS, each bond worth Sia000 100 in the
pile, in all just 81. 100000. The crowd
gaZed In awe and one woman. I think sue

dinners and receptions she would give,
and the balls she would attend If 1t
were hers. and then she sighed because
she was separated from 50 much dsSipa-
ton. The only result was that the guide
led Us over to the room where 81 Goo 600
Of paper money is destroyed every day
large tank, painted green, and whIcl.
is full of hot water and knives stands i'll
the mI6dle OF this room. A platform
0verlooks 1t, and upon this platform were
two little girls in pink dresses and white
silk stockings. Then suddenly irto the
room burst, n real old time confusion,
three men carrying boxes of paper r.oney
There was rattle of locks, banging
or covers and bundles of paper dollars
dropped into the muddy water and whirl-
ed around once or twice and were lost
sight of for good and all One million
dollars had been lost in literally less time
than it takes to tell 1t.
We were then shown the silver vault
which is the largest money vault in the
world. II is SO feet long 81 feet wide and
u feet high, and 1t is full of money A
light wooden door is between the outside
and the steel inner doors. Yet, If any
one went to rob this vault. this wooden
door would be even more of a protection
than the huge steel ones. You can not
stick a pen knife into it without sending
in an alarm, and within two minutes
fifty eight well armed men would be on
the spot So you see how impossible It IS
to rob Uncle Sam.
The day I was there the contents of
the vaults We're: Vault No. 1. 1OS, 653. 900
