ltgmd gleets the c^e the moment jou enter
the I'orrulur ot the ichants hotel, where the
poHMcinim most do congregate. Whichever
nay you turu you see the emblem "get your
meal tickets at the office." This sign and the
meeting of tue Republican State canvention
appear to be associated together as the an
nouncement was not made until the delegates
began to arrive. Whatever the result of the
convention Col. Allen propo-.es to be on his
guard against thoaurage pohtuitn and he is
wise in so doinp.
Tho spacious lorridois of tho Merchants were
never more densely crowded than yesterday
afternoon and evening. The Republican pol
iticians were out in toicc, and were led hot at
that. A stream ot water throwu into the corri

To this end they proposed to unite on Hubbard
or Cole. The ciowd did not take kindly to
Cole He is about as warm blooded as a snake
and no enthusiasm was manifested in his be
half while the Hubbard boom got quite a
ground Hwell trotn tho prospective combination.
The Hubbiul wave was not encouraging to
either Wakeheld or Ptllsbury, but
it received a backset when it wan found that
the Hubbard boom tould not agree upon the
remainder of the ticket. A good many Wake
hold men showed signs of weakening by profess
ing a desire to go for some one who could beat
Pillsbury.
nib UAl AVY
The ciowd piesent formed a galaxy raitly
seen in Minnesota Gov. 1'illshury himself
was in the hotel coindors conducting his cam
paign in person He wis assisted by Fletcher,
by Charley Pillsbury, by Wait, McClure and
Clark, ot Htearns, by dipt. Blakely, by Lang
doll, Doc. heitb, Geo. Moore, etc.
There was McKinstry and Clement having
charge ot the Cole boom, which didn't boom
vuy much.
For th'3 Hubbard boom the general was here
in person. Jennison, Gov. Davis and a good
many other active men were working ac the
II libbird boom with vigoi, though no particu
lar show for success.
The red-headed woodpecker of the prairies
liillson) was roamn about, disconsolate as it
were, and learning by bitter experience that
there IB a good deal ot lying in polities.
The other booms, not excepting Castle's,
were running very quietly, with no expectation
of accomplishing anything.
VIEWS OF PEOPLE.
It was really amusing to see the different
views presented.
"We got'em," shouted Jennison, in the en
thusiasm of tho moment. "Who is we," was
modestly asked, but this quoiy closed Jenni
son's mouth and he became as dumb as an oys
ter.
"How docs Chisago county stand was asked
of Frank Pratt. "Anything to beat Pillsbury.
I am one of the delegates and I am for Bill
son, and I think the other two are foi Wake-
held."
"How does the Freeborn county delegation
stand on governor5"'
was the query placed be
fore the Hon. Tom Armstrong, of Albert Lea.
"They are for Charley (Kittleson), and guess
will trade on governor where they can get the
most voteB."
"I don't rely on tho Ptower-Presi figures,
and don't believe Pillsbury will be nominated,"
was the remark of Jared Benson, of Anoka.
"I think Wakefield and Pillsbury will not
be moro than four 01 five votes apart at the
outset," was Clark Thompson's view.
"We'vo gotGilman beaten sure," was tho
jubilant expression of N. I'. Clark, of Ht
Cloud.
"Jt takes 109 votes, and our man (Pillsbury)
will havo 115 on tho hrst ballot," was the dec
laration of Doo Keith, who lately sold salva
tion at Lake Park foi 25 conts per head.
"If we can rely on promises Pillsbury will
have 130 voteB," was the estimate of his
nephew, Charley Pillsbury. He added. "If all
tho candidates have HB many votes as they
claim thero will be 300 in the onvention."
"Wakeheld his got it, sure," was the ejacu
lation of Charaberhn, the sage who edits the
Jackson Htpublu.
"Benton county is for Oilman," was the
pronunciamento of Bill Nieman, the sole dele
gate from that county.
One delegate declared that it was a gross in
sult to the party for lUuisey county to send
Joo Wheelock to the convention. "He is not a
Republican, and I propose to call on him to
state in the convention whether he proposes to
support the nominee."
"You can say in the GLOBE in the morning
that Kittleson is not a candidate for Secretary
of BUte, and under no circumstances will he
take it, even if unanimously tendered him.
He is a candidate for State Treasurer only, and
propoao to have it." These words of instruc
tion and wisdom fell from tho lips of W. W.
Williams, of the Albert Lea Standard.
THROWING VFAENDBR OVER.
The Pillsbury gang aro ready to resort to
anything to win They accordingly threw
Pfaender oveiboard, and agreed to snpport
Kittlesou for treasurer. Then they tried to
undo it and get Kittleson to accept the posi
tion of secretary of state, but he absolutely
declined. In order to make it more binding,
Kittleson got caucus of his countrymen, and
they demanded the treasuryship in the name of
Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Then Jacobaon,
who wants to bo secretary of state, began to
arise and kick, and he proposes to kick all day
to-day, and demand, in the name of all the
Scandinavians together with the Hottentots,
that ho be secretary of state.
MISCELLANEOUS BDDOET.
Knute Nelson didn't know anything about
tho Governorship, but Douglas county was for
htm (Knute) for lieutenant governor.
Gen Edjrerton thought he 'vas the second
choice of Dodgo county for Governor and that
Pillsbury was the first. He thought Dodge
couuty would vote for Pillsbury first.
Wakefield was moro dignified than Pillsbury
during tho evening, at least, and kept in his
headquarters at No. S, while hia competitors
i oamed the corridors. AH of the ether can
didates, save Wakefield, were visible to the
naked eye. With the sunrise tho fight will bo
renewed, but as Pillsbury swag was actively at
work last night, the chances for his
success are favorable, at leant.
If tho various candidates could agree on any
head they could defeat him, but the nomination
of Cole would mean the defeat of one crowd
for the minor offices. The nomination of Hub
bard would mean tho defeat of another crowd
for the minor offices. Hence, the two crowds^
can hardly be expected to unite. Hence, also,
they can hardly expect to win.
As it is very rare that there is suoh a colled
turn of politicians in the city, we give the
names of all of the Minnesota arrivals yester
day, showing who havo come up to the conven
tion.

A Lively Fight for Supremacy aud Doable
Headed Delegation.
The fight between the Oilman and Mc
Olure rings in Stearns county has resulted
in two conventions and two sets of delegates
to the State convention. The doable headed
affair took place yesterday. The Oilman
men selected A. Barto, A. M. Stiles, J. V.
rower and J. Baymond. When
they got through the other crowd
held a convention and selected 0 Wait,
L. W. Collins, John Cooper and E Searle,
as delegates. The battle will be fought ont
in convention to-morrow.
All /of Oilman.
The following statement made last evening,
explains itself, viz..
It has been claimed that the counties which
we represent elected delegates in the interest
of D. B. Searle for attorney general.
Suoh is not the fact.
The several county convention? of which we
are the accredited representatives are in favor
of Hon.O. A. Oilman for lieutenant governor.

KATE'S LAST.
Mysterious Disappearance of Mrs. Sprague
aud Three GirlsThe Governor Beported
as On a Biff Drunk and Threatening to
Tlnow Her From the Window.
THROW HEB OBT OF THE WINDOW,
saying, beforo witnesses, that he would do
so, but was prevented by those present.
Mrs. Sprague began quietly to make
preparations to leave, and Saturday after
noon took her departure with the children,
their nurse and baggage, and the governor
knew nothing of it. The governor, finding
them gone, started at break-neck speed for
Kingston, hoping to catch the fugitives at that
point. When the train arrived Sprague asked
the conductor if he
LUaQED OFF BIS CHILDREN,
but was answered in the negative, and re
turned to the Pier. Mrs. Sprague could have
taken no train, and the general impression I
that she left in a steam yacht from the Pier fob
tho Newport boat. A strange looking and
very fast steam yacht, which was hovering
abcoit the Pier all the afttrnoon, suddenly went1
up to the Newport boat dock, and waiting ten
minutes rapidly steamed away, probably with
Mrs. Sprague on board.
A St FOB SEPARATION
will probably at once be instituted to settle
tho right to the children. It is said that every
movement of Mrs. Sprague, since the scandal
became public, with the exception of the un
expected departure, has been under the direc
tion and at the dictation of Senator Conkling.
la is even said Conkling went so far as to pro
cure from his wife a letter of condolence to
Mrs. Sprague.
LETTER FROM SPBAODE.
BOSTON, Sept. 1.A dispatch to the Boston
Herald from Provicence denies that Mrs.
Sprague left Newport in a steam yacht yester
day, and adds: The governor denies in toto
that he left any watch over his wife or that he
intercepted any of her letters or messages. I
is further stated that Gov. Sprague does not at
present intend to sue for a divorce, but will
take immediate steps to regain possession of
his daughters. Gov. Sprague Sunday sent the
following letter to Mrs. Sprague's counsel:
"NARRAOANSETT PIER, R. I., Aug. 80, 1879.

SAUK RAPIDS, Minn., Sept. 1. At 1 o'clock
this morning the Rev. Sherman Ball, pastor of
the Congregational church here, passed to his
long rest, at the ripe age of 79 years and over.
He has had a long and somewhat notable ca
reer. More than forty years ago he came to
this territory as a missionary and settled among
the Chippewa Indians. While among them he
acquired a thorough knowledge of the lan
guage of the aborigines, and translated the
bible into Chippewa, the book being published
at his own expense. About twenty-three years
ago he removed from the Lake Superior region
and filled the post of a missionary at Crow
Wing agency. Some years ago he removed to
Sank Rapids, where he settled as pastor of the
Congregational church. A week ago yesterday
he preached hia farewell sermon to his con
gregation. In it he said that he felt the ap
proach of old age, and thought tho time had
arrived in which he should rest Lis physical
system, for be knew the end was close at hand.
On Wednesday, Wriile riding in a wagon he was
attacked with faintness, fell to tho ground and
sustained injuries to his spinal column which
produced a partial paralysis of his whole body
and ultimated in his death, as related, this
morning.
Mr. HaU has always borne an unblemished
reputation has been an earnest, consistent and
devoted Christian a preacher of great power,

A Norwegian woman named Aim, residing

grew worse last week, and on Monday hope
of her recovery was given up, the attending
physician declaring the patient would live
but a few hours. Toward evening the wo
man apparently breathed her last, and the
friends of the family prepared
the body for burial. O
the morning following, the supposed corpse
awoke from the comatose state in which she
had lain during the long hours of the previ

animation. The signs of returning life
grew apace until, at last accounts, entire re

THE EXHIBITION.
Good Attendance for the First DayGet-'

The Races in tlie AfternoonThe Bo-
gaJdus Shoot To-DayOlber Attrac
tions.
The opening day of the State fair, as was
naturally to be expeoted, found matters on the
grounds in an unfinished and inchoate condi
tion generally. A large amount of labor and
time is requisite, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, to get an institution of the magni
tude and importance of the State fair in good
running order, and in the present ease it was
not to be expected that a different rule would
abtain.
The forenoon witnessed a decided change for
the better in the general appearance of the
buildings. Large numbers of workmen and
employes were busily employed in preparing
and arranging exhibits and in making decora
tions and other necessary details for Bhowing
off goods and wares to the best advantage.
This scene of busy preparation was continued
throughout the day, and by night it was plain
to be seen that an immense deal of work had
been accomplished.
The attendance was not large, but as the
gates were not formally opened until noon, it
was still respectable in numbars for an open
ing day. It was estimated that considerably
pver a thousand persons visited the grounds
during the course of the day.
A PROMPT RAILROAD.
The early visitor to the grounds, yesterday,
would, in all probability, have awarded the
prize medal for promptness and completeness
of detail, to the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba railroad, for its splendid exhibition. This
was gotten up under the supervision of Her
man Trott, Esq., and, considering the brief
period allowed for the ithering of materials,
was a model of taste and skill in its simplicity
and effectiveness of detail. There was as fine
wheat, oats, rye and barley in the straw, in
sacks and boxes ready for the mill, as can be
found anywhere under the canopy of heaven.
There was wheat weighing from fifty-nine to
sixty-two pounds to the bushel, and yielding
from twenty to frty-seven and a half bushels
to the acre. There was noticed some samples
of wheat grown on old land in Wright county,
which yielded forty-one bushels, weighing
sixty-two pounds to the bushels. There were
splendid vegetables of all kinds, grown on
this year's breaking also a tine collection of
apples and other fruits and native grasses.
There were of course monster pumpkins, cu
rious gourds (one shaped exactly like a base
ball club), big beets, huge squashes, one weigh
ing 115 pounds, etc., which would have de
lighted the head of the Presidential bumpkin
who occupies Mr. Tilden's seat, when on a fair
seeing tour through the country. Altogether
the exhibition is highly creditable and speaks

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Ramsey County Agricultural society's

Floral hall is nicely decorated and festooned
with flowers, but is not yet complete in all its
appointments.
Large quantities of machinery were brought
out yesterday and placed in position. I this
line the exhibit of Pilkington, Busch & Co.
seems most nearly complete and ready for in
spection.
Many fine cattle, horses, etc., are on the
grounds, and many other contributions in the
same line arrived last evening. Space forbids
any specific mention of these herds at this
time and demands that it be postponed to a
more favorable and convenient season.
RUNNING OF TRAINS.

Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad, has not only
provided most liberal and convenient facilities

THE RACES.
Shortly after two o'clock the bell tapped
from the grand stand,which was the signal that
the day's races were abont to begin, The first
event was the 2:50 class, for a purse of $250,
best two in three, $150 to first horse, $75 to the
second and $25 to third.
There were eight entries, as follows: C. C.
Bates, Decorah, Iowa, g. Careless Willis
Baker, Lake City, Minn., b. g. Smoker E C.
Hardy, Fontenelle, Iowa, b. m. Nettie R. W.
A. Culbertson, St. Paul, b. g. Peerless Dexter
Curtiss, Madison, Wis., c. m. Lady Hess:
Richard Smith, Blooming Grove, c. s. Charley
Mack W. Irving, Owatonna, b. Sleepy
Jim, and J. O. Brown, Preston, Minn b. s.

THE FIRST HEAT.
The first named six startedthe two last
having been withdrawn. Mack won the pole
with Smoker second, and Nettie U., Peerless,
Careless and Lady Hess in the order named.
Considerable difficulty was had in starting.and
after scoring about a dozen times, the judges,
W. F. Cross of Bed Wing, B. D. Woodmansee.
of Anoka, and Thos. Marrett, of St. Paul,
becoming impatient, gave them off on a bad
send-offfor two at least. Smoker broke early
and started to pace, and on reaching the quar
ter pole all wet* pretty well bunched. At the
half mile Mack led with Nettie two lengths be
hind and in this fashion followed all the rest,
with Smoker last. On the home stretch this
relative position was maintained, except that
Smoker, who had again broken into a pace,
came well up among the others and passed
third under the wire Mack first, Nettie R. sec
end, Peerless and Careless neck and neck and
Lady Hess last. Time 2:37.
The judges, after consultation, decided to set
Smoker back for pacing, and awarded him
the last place, thereby giving Lady Hess the
fifth position.
THE SECOND HEAT.
In'fltaoraance with the above decision of the
judges the horses took the respective positions
assigned thereby, and after encountering the
usual difficulty in starting, finally succeeded
in securing a fair send-off. Mack and Nettie
R. took the lead before reach
ing the first quarter, which they
maintained to the half and three quarter pole,
Mack finally passing under the wire a length
and a mdf ahead of the mare, followed by Care
less third, Lady Hess fourth, Peerless fifth,
and Smoker dfatanced. Time 2:40.
While the coring for this beat was going on,
a mannamed O'Brien made a verbal protest
against the mare Nettie being allowed to
participate in the race, on the ground that she
had abetter record that her name had formerly
been Fannie D., and as such she had beenfrnled
off the Buffolo track.
The judges accepted the protest, but re
quired It to be reduced to writing, and after an

ST. PAUL, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1879.
interval of about au hour, the following paper
waa filed:
"Judges St. Paul Driving Park:
I protest Nettie B. in the 2.60 race also in
the 2:37 race, for trotting under assumed name
and having a better record. JOHN KAIHAN
During the trotting of this, the second, heat
a queer, and, to the old horsemen present, an
unaccountable delusion seemed to take hold
of the three judges. While the
horses were passing to the half mile and thence
to the homestretch and down, these gentlemen
discovered or thought they did, that Nettie's
driver was holding her in, and hence that there
was collusion between him and Mack's -driver.
In a jiffy the delusion spread and the word
went ont that the mare could beat the horse
and that the heat should be declared "off." A
long parley ensued and the more "chin music"
there was the firmer became the conviction
that that wicked driver must be unseated and
the beat driven over again with a new driver
for the mare.
The driver and owner were both called and
badgered to find out what they had to say. The
man could make her trot faster than her regu
lar driver, or fast enough to win first money
he would like to see it done, as he wanted to
have the swag. admitted protests had
heretofore been filed against his mare, but said
they had invariably been withdrawn, and as to
the charges made against him that her time
had been suppressed at Mankato, he claimed
that such wa the fact, but that it was done in
accordance with an understanding with the sec
retary and treasurer of that association.
The judges again had a long discussion over
the vexed question, and finally with the aid of
Gto. A. Nash, who assumed the role of mentor
to the disquieted trio, decided the second to be
"no heat," on the ground that Nettie was not
driven properlyi.e., "for all that was in her,"
and that the heat must be trotted over, and a
new driver assigned to drive the mare.
This decision was decidedly what Dick Swiv
eller would call a "stunner," to the horsemen
and others who had watched the race attentive
ly, and could see no signs of jockeying or col
lusion on the driver's part The action of the
judges was freely commented on, as their de
cision was avowedly based, not on the protest
filed, but on the assumption of unfair driving.
The further injustice of deposing the driver
and substituting another in his stead, on a pre
text at least very doubtful, was so glaring that
many disinterested persons did not hesitate to
denounce it as gi ossly improper.
However, there was no recourse, and one of
the judges, Mr. Cross, was assigned to drive
the maie. Hardy, the owner, interposing no
objection, Mr. Cross mounted the sulky, and
the heat was trottedMack winning, with Care
less second, Nettie third, Smoker fourth. Lady
Hess fifth and Peerless sixth. Tima, 2:40K-
In trotting the heat after passing the first
quarter, Nettie broke badly, and before she
could be brought down had dropped consider
ably to the rear. While on the three-quarter
stretch she recovered and got down to work,
and thence on to the wire behaved nobly, but
could not recover lost time. This heat hardly
justified the confident assertion previously
made by the judges as to the mare's ability to
beat Mack, nor their suspicions as to the jock
eying of the driver. But all this failure was
satisfactorily accounted for by the wtispered
intimation that after trotting the "void" heat,
the driver had neglected grooming his animal
and had slyly given her a pail of water, so de
termined was he that she should not win. Be
this as it may, it is certain that with the able
driving of Mr. Cross she did not accomplish
what she had done with her own drive. Verily
some things are easily accounted for!

afterwards Wise said I should not do it, so far
as he was concerned, as he said he did not like

had to kill Sober. I then asked Frank Stioh

he did not oare, he could kill any one, bat

went over the plank and Sober got on it, Stich

first intended to drown Sober in the dam.
Brandt bad planned that Sober was to go fish

and wife, and then I was to drown him.
We went, and Peters went with us.

I pitied him. The drowning at the plank af

had promised me $300 and that the others
should get the same. lie promised Stichler
nothing. I had tried to coax Elijah Stichler,
but he would not go with me. I said to Frank
I would give him $300 after I was paid.
When it was done they tried to swindle me out
of all and kill me. This was planned behind
the shed at Brandt's. This they told me in
jail. When they asked me to go via Banks
town I thought they wanted to kill me then.
Brandt urged me in jail to keep quiet about
this matter as they hoped to get clear. I
didn't see "*the conspirators so very
often about the matter. I engaged Frank
Stichler to do the job after the Eitzmiller
plan failed. I didn't go into the water. After
the drowning Stichler walked up tom house
and went to Brandt. I didn't see the old man's
straggles. The plank was made wet by the
splash when Rober fell. Brandt had Sober in

company failed and with it the plan. Brandt
told me what to say before the coroner's in

A few days sinoe the notorious Barbara Rey
nolds, of shady hue and doubtful reputation,
was arrested on charge of running a white and
tan bagnio on Robert street. She was given
until yesterday to vacate the ranche, but when
the case was called she failed to put in an ap
pearance, and Jimmy Mullins will see that she
either obeys the mandate of the court or serves
a thirty-day's sentence in the bastile.
Andrew Parsons and John Thorsen, of Albert

wasn of long duration, for he was recaptured
about nightfall and returned to his old quar

Sunday afternoon L. A. Gooley wanted a ride
bad. So bad that the presumption is big that
he's got a girl. So bad that he went to Shirk's
livery stable and feloniously made false repre
sentation. He claimed to be in the employ of
John St. Aubin, and declared that St. Anbin
owed him money. Cooley wanted a horse and
buggy to the extent of $3 worth of both, and
gave an order on St. Aubin for $3, with the as
surance that if even presented BO early as sun
up to St. Aubin it would be none too soon to
get payment thereon. Three dollars worth of
horse and buggy was given to Cooley, and he
and his girl enjoyed a ride. Shirk didn't pre
sent the $3 order at sun up, but he did during
the day. St. Aubin first declared Coolel
wasn tin his employ, then that he didn't owe
him a cent, and wouldn't honor the order.
Shirk got out a warrant for Cooley's arrest,
charging him with felony and a lot more horri
ble things, which warrant was served by Officer
Nugent good right arm. and the arrest made
with the same. Judge Flint will investigate
the business to day.
Haverly's Pinafore Crew.
Haverly's Chicago Church Choir Pinafore
company opened fair week at the Opera House
last evening to a large and highly appreciative
audience. All the old favorites were in the
cast, and were received on their appearance
with enthusiastic applause. The mounting of
the piece was a great improvement over the
last time it was here, the stage set being one
newly painted by D. A. Strong, the scenic ar
tist of Haverly's Chicago theater. The deck of
the ship is admirably delineated and the per
spective one of tho most beautiful we have
ever seen.
All of the solo and concerted pieces were ex
quisitely rendered, and received their full
meed of applause. Mrs. Falk, though suffer
ing from a severe cold, Bang her role in a fin
ished and artistic manner. Her every move
ment was the perfection of grace. Miss Bart
lett as Buttercup was as ever fully equal to
the part, her voice, rich and mellow, possessing
wonderful compass and flexibility. Mr. Mc
Wade sang his lines in his usually appreciative
manner, nearly every song in which he took
part being loudly encored. Mr. Bowen was
also admirable both in his acting and singing,
while Messrs. Knorr, Baymond and Nobles
were fully equal in point of excellence. The
single solo of Mr. Liverman brought down the
house in an uproarons encore, to which he re
sponded with telling effect. The chorus waa
strong, weU disciplined and effective. An im
provement was noticeable all around.
There is nu doubt but the company will
a successfufl run during the whole week. Its
ll eppreciate by our citizens,ehav
while those from abroad who have never heard
the charming burlesque opera should not fail to
seize the opportunity, for they will never again
have a chance of seeing a company of such
rare excellence and uniform talent.
