HUDDLESTON. A NEWSPAPER correspondent has stated the very foolish story that the Mormons were at the bottom of the recent uprising of the Utes Colorado. If any purpose could be served by such a course the Mormons might have been gmlty of the great crime, but the lack of a motive is a sufficient refutation of the acousation. THE atrocities perpetrated by the Apache Indians in New Mexico are enough to make the blood run cold. They are commanded by a daring, cruel chief, who has thus far eluded pursuit. Gen. Morrow, however, is on his track, and unless the niaiauding band escapes into Mexico, will admimster the proper punishment. THE name of L. W. Bundlett was acci dentally omitted from the county ticket yes terday. It appears in its proper place this morning, and we may add that no man gyer filled the position who was more competent and few who were equal to Mr. Bundlett, He is asssistant city engineer, and would ap propriately grace the first position. THE St. Charles Times is bound to be happy in adversity. As it is a staunch Dem ocratic paper there was not a great deal of consolation to be found in the Ohio election, but it brought out a big rooster with this caption "Hoop 'er up. Newark, New Jersey, has elect ed a Democratic mayor by 2.500 majority." THE Democrats of Wisconsin do not ap pear to be at all disoouraged by the untoward result of the Ohio election, but are making a thorough canvass of the whole State. Mr. Jenkins, the candidate for governor, is doing yeoman service. His meetings are large and enthusiastic, and even the Repub lican papers are forced to acknowledge that ho is making an excellent impression. THE Republicans and Tammanyites of New York seem to be laboring under the de lusion that Tilden is running for Governor of that State, and are devoting their whole time to berating him. Perhaps they will discover when the votes are counted that Robinson was a candidate, and that the peo ple of the State have been working for him while Cornell and Kelly were fighting Til den. MB. WAXTEBSON allowed his enthusiasm before the Ohio election to run away with his judgment, and being grievously disap pointed in the result has nothing but tears to shed. He should brace up and go to work. It is seldom that the first skir mish of a campaign decides its fate. The Democratic party has no occasion to be dismayed by the Ohio defeat. CHICAGO has developed a 14-year-old mur derera boywho battered a companion's brains out with a stone. If the incident had occurred in one of the Southern States it would have had a great political sig nificance, and the changes would have been rung on it from one end of the country to the other. But we are spared the infliotion by the interposition of a few hundred miles between the localities. THE Louisville Courier-Journal com plains that in this State, where Windom, the sperm cell of the exodus movement, lives, the pious Republicans have contributed dur ing the year just $98.30 to the cause, and asks how much of this sum Windom gave. Windom is not one of the kind of men who practice what they preach, and the small donation from Minnesota is accounted for by the fact that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country. No member of Tammany Hall has ever received more fulsome praise or more de. voted attention from the R3publioan papers than John Kelly is now .receiving. A cor respondent of the New York Tribune follows him all over the State and sends the most enthusiastic reports of the meetings he is holding, relating how he is capturing the people by thousands. The compliments the boss is now receiving contrast strangely with the abuse he received only a few months ago from the same newspaper. THE piteous appeal of Capt. Blakeley shows that the Republicans are alarmed. This is not surprising. To begin with, Gov. Pillsbury has no warm friends. He is as cold blooded as a snake, and no one stands by Pillsbury unless he thinks it is going to pay. His friends depend very largely upon his bar'l. Then there is a gen eral disgust with the idea of having a gov ernor for the third term. The corrupt man ner in which the third term nomination was secured comes in for its share of vigorous denunciation. The fao* that he is a miller and hostile to the farming interests of the State is a great dis advantage. The farmers do not forget that he vetoed the Campbell bill whioh abolished the swindling brass kettle, and signed the Stacy bill whioh legalized the fraud. In fact all of the "points" are against him, and if the Republican fears should be realized it would be a happy day for Minnesota. THE Ohioago Tribune, whioh supports an editor whose sole duty it is to disenss Wis consin affairs, makes some exceedingly absurd blunders. It has repeatedly asserted that HOB. James G, Jenkins has been a can didate for many offices, but was invariably beaten. The truth of the matter is that he was never a candidate for more than one of ficethat of district attorney of Milwaukee and to this he was chosen for two suooesaive terms by majorities far exoeeding those of the balance of his ticket. A NEW YOBX special to the Ohioago Tri bune says. In the conduct of the present campaign Mr. Cornell and the other Republican leaders are holding to the plan which resulted so extra ordinarily well last fallthe plan of selecting fc'ie very best men of the party for all the offices, large and smallpaying special atten tion to the nominations for State Senators and members of assembly. It is fortunate for Mr. Cornell that the Republican State convention did not act on the same plan, for in this case he would not now be a candidate for governor. THE Republican press have already begun to urge upon the legislature of Ohio just elected the importance of redistricting the State into Congressional and legislative dis tricts in such a manner as to ensure a ma jority in the legislature and in Congress for that party even in the event of the Demo crats carrying the State. The Republicans are adepts in the art of gerrymandering,Jand we would not be surprised to see Ohio so dis trioted as to overcome a popular majority of twenty thousand or more. There is no in justice that they will not perpetrate for party ends. CAPT. RUSSELL BLAKELEY, ohairman of the Republican State central oommittee, has issued an address to the voters of Minnesota which indicates the alarm felt in the Repub lican ranks. He implores Republicans not to be induced to vote the temperance or other tickets lest by such defection the Democrats should carry the State. The major portion of the address is devoted to the waving of the bloody shirt and the usual Southern is sue is raised. In conclusion, however, the captain claims all of the blessings whioh have thus far been reached in Minnesota of what ever nature is due entirely to the Republi can party. The plea is that of a drowning man. ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. The speech by Lord Salisbury at a ban quet given in his honor at Manchester on the 17th inst., made use of some very signif icant language touching the present aspect of European politics. He did not attempt to disguise the fact that much ill feeling exists between Great Britain and Russia, and inti mated that the time might soon come when ttw two nations would be at war with each other. The danger he apprehends will OTU'8 from further Russian aggressions in the direotion of Constantinople. "The bad ness of the government of Turkey," he says, "would never jnstify us in handing over great strategic positions to any power whose aggressions threaten the happiness and inde pendence of the world but there are other points of the treaty of Berlin besides the oc cupation of the Balkans. If yon do not trust the Turkish sentinel on the ramparts, you may trust the Austrian sentinel at the door. Since the Austrian occupation of Novi-Bazar the advance of the Russians be yond the Balkans and the Danube is impos sible. In the independence and strength of Austria rests the last hope of European sta bility. If the assertion of the newspapers that a defensive alliance has been formed between Austria and Germany proves to be true, all who value the peace of Europe will hail it as glad tidings of great joy." These utterances may be regarded as ex pressing the sentiments of the government party, and the endorsement of these views by the London Times gives, them additional importance. It is very evident that in the event of another invasion of Turkey by the Muscovites, England will not remain the passive thongh interested spectator she was during the last war, but from the start will take an aotive part in hostile movements. It is a warning to Russia that she must re spect the treaty of Berlin to the letter, and that the slightest departure from its terms will be met with armed resistance from Great Britain. It is apparent that Lord Salisbury does not repose the utmost confidence in the good faith of Turkey toward her old ally and savior. The failure to occupy the Balkans has led to the supposition that another invasion of the country would not meet with great resistance. Bat notwithstanding this Salisbury is' confident that at present aggression need not be feared, as "the sentinel at the door" will prove faithful to his trust even if the sentinel on the ramparts should sleep. The occupation of Novi-Bazar by Austria is regardei as an insurmountable barrier to aggressions from the North, and it is very evident that there is a complete understanding between that government and England. The further fact that an alliance has been formed between Germany and Austria adds to the strength of the position assumed by England viz: that Russia shall not be allowed to acquire a foothold at Constantinople. The position of England presents a queer combination. Selfishness is no doubt the main spring of her action. It is necessary, in order that her possessions in the Mediter ranean and in Asia may be pr tected from menace, that Russia be kept at a distance. But at the same time the interests of Great Britain are the inter ests of all Europe with the exception ot Russia. It would be a great calamity to permit the Muscovite dynasty to obtain greater pewerrfor it is the least progressive of all the modern powers, and if it should attain the ascendency would retard the pro gress of civilization for a oentury. Happily such a result is beyond the range of possi bilities for nearly all the nations of Europe are in accord on the question. Any further attempt to extend her dominion would pre cipitate upon Russia the armaments of the rest of the continent, an event that would prove fatal forever to her standing among the nations. But in the present excited con dition of Europe any nnotward event may precipitate a conflict whioh would be preg nant with great results to the history of the world. THE CONTEST IS NEW YORK. The publishers of Harper'% Weekly have oome out in a card fully approving of the course of George William Curtis, the editor of that paper, in advising Republicans to scratch the names of Cornell and Soule from their tickets. They emphatically declare that the nomination of Cornell for governor of New York was the worst that could be made, and that it will be for the best interests of the party that he be defeated. They argue truthfully tLat a party is injured more by the suooess of an unworthy candidate than by his defeat, and reiterate the advice given in the editorial columns te scratch the pres ent ticket. With the quarrel in the Republican ranks Democrats have nothing to do except so far as it will assist their cause. Cornell is un doubtedly unworthy of the high office to whioh he aspires, and is besides the weakest candidate that could have been selected. He is simply the representative of the Conkling maohine, and possesses none of the ele ments of popularity among either partisans or those who lay little store by party, but only seek to advance the best interests of the State. On the other hand Gov. Robinson has proved himself to be capable, honest and trustworthy. He has saved over fifty mil lions of dollars to the tax payers during the three years of his incumbency, and has won golden opinions from all save the Tammany ites, several of whose swindling schemes he has thwarted. He is not the especial oham pion or representative of any interest al though he is warmly supported on account of his fitness by some persons who are, per haps, inimical to the personal ambitions of others. His election would be a blessing to the State bis defeat a misfortune that the people would long have cause to regret. The election in Ohio is not likely to have any preceptible affect upon the cam paign in New York. The issues in the two States are entirely dissimilar. There can be no controversy between the parties on the money question. Gov. Robinson stands simply on the record he has made during his term of office. The experience of the Democrats in Ohio, however, will do much towards preparing their brethren in New York to resist the assaults of their adver saries. Conkliug's impudent declaration that local affairs have no part in the con troversy will not be heeded. He cannot flaunt the bloody shirt in the faces of the people to such an extent as to biit them to their own intereststo induce them to vote for a notoriously corrupt tool of the machine politicians and against a man who has passed the crucial test without a hair singed. While not confident that Robinson will be successful against the combined forces of the Republican maohine and Tammany Hall, we are hopeful of such a result. He will at tract to his support all the more respect able portion of the Republican party, and retain the votes of the bulk of the Demo cratic party. Cornell will not poll more than two-thirds of the Republican strength, while Kelly will only command the suffrages of the slums of the cities. Everything au gurs well for a brilliant victory of good over bad government. OLD TIMES. The Celebration of tbe Battle of Yorktown. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18.The governors met to consider the celebration of tbe sur render of Yorktown, and adjourned to Inde pendence hall, where Mayor Stokely and Gov. Hoyt welcomed the governors to the city and State. Gov. Hoyt, from the com mittee on resolutions, reported the follow ing, and they were unanimously adopted Resolved, That we the Governors and repre sentatives of tbe original colonies convened at Independence hall, Philadelphia, this 18th day of October, 1879, knowing that the' purposes for which we have assembled meet the hearty appreciation of our constituents, do hereby commend to the people of the United States such a celebration of tbe centennial anniver sary of the surrender of Cornwallis at York town, as shall be a lit historical significance of that event and the present great nation. Resolved. That a committee of one from each State be appointed by the Governors thereof, of which committee Gov. Holliday shall be chairman, to make proper arrange ments for such celebration. The meeting then adjourned. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18.Ihis evening a serenade was tendered to the visiting gover nors at the Continental hotel, at which ad dresses were made by the governor of Vir ginia, North and South Carolina, and Col. Lincoln, representing the gov ment of Masrachusetts. The tenor of the speeches, whioh were warm ly applauded by an immense crowd of people, were to the effect that the people of the South and North should forget all past dif ferences, and go forward hand in hand to fulfil the the manifest destiny of the nation. SPECIAL TELEGRAMS. How a Disreputable Newspaper Got Caught in Padding out Bogus News. (Correspondence of the Globe.] CHATFTBLD, Minn., Oct. 17, 1879.The proverbial enterprise of the Pioneer Press was never better illustrated than in its yesterday's report of the great speech of Hon. A. A. Harwood, at Chatfield. Har wood was billed to speak here on the evening of the 16th inst., and in the afternoon of the 17th, the daily from the Pioneer Press of fice reached us with a report^ Harwood's speech, nearly three oolumns long, headed Judge Page Dissected!" and a lot more of bombast in the style of a circus poster. The report proper opens with the an nouncement that "Judge A. A. Harwood, of Austin, spoke here to-night with great power and most convincing effeot, and was listened to by one of tbe finest au dienoes ever assembled in Chatfield," etc, etc., all of which makes very in teresting reading, considering that Judge Harwood did not speak at all that the ball wasn't even,lighted, and that it rained all the evening as fast as it has done since the times of Noah. Harwood spent apart of the even ing in the postoffiee along with "Mac," aod another part he was making a futile attempt to get a dispatch through to St. Paul, prob ably with a view of heading off the report of his great speech he had sent in advance of its delivery. The thing is only a blunder: a very bad blunder it is true. If the meeting had come off the report would have been as good, no donbt better, than if genuine, but as it is it opens a pretty large hole in the Pioneer's special dispatch department, and exposes the shams and miserable trickery resorted to by a newspaper, which ought to be above practicing so despicable a decep tion upon its readers. HOKAH. Republicans Prefer Mice. LChaska Herald.J The Democratic State ticket commands the admiration and respect of the people of this State to an unusual degree. We have heard many Republicans say that they would vote for Hon. Ed. Rice for Governor, saying that he was a much better man than Pills bury, and the members of the wheat ring, who are supporting him. S &*- THB ST. FAPL DAILY GLOBE, MONDAY MOKW1NG, OUT. 20, 1879. THE WHEAT BOOM. An Exciting \Veek In ChioagoScenes and Ine'dents Connected With the Trouble of FridayAdvance on the Week of 6 1-2 CentsContinuation of the Boom Antici- patedMovement of Breadstnffs Daring the Week. LSpeoial Telegram to the Globe.] CHICAGO, Oot. 19.The movement of last week in wheat was very much less extreme than supposed by most people who have been talking about it. The greatest advanoe dur ing the week was only 9% cents a bushel, from $1.13% at opening of Monday to $1.22% Thursday, from whioh point it dropped 5% cents, and olosed at an improve ment of 6* cents from Monday's first quo tation. The ups and downs, however, were fearful enough to scare all but the oldest operators. The advances and reactions of the past two days have not made it necessary to record any failures. There have been losses, of course, but the fellows who would otherwise have been severely pinched, have suoceeded in covering themselves, and nobody has gone to the wall, at least nobody has been reported as having done so. The bucket shops ap pear to have obtained a new lease of life. The boom, thongh just a least trifle disfig ured, may be said to be still in the ring, and the week whioh opens to-morrow promises to be an exoiting one in all that the term im plies. The following were the reoeipts and shipments of breadstnffs at this point during the past week: Flour, 80,503 barrels wheat 152,153 bushels oorn, 1,295,696 bushels: oats, 383,783 bushels rye, 68,053 bushels barley, 376,000 bushels. Shipments: Flour, 67,466 barrels wheat, 1,469,206 bush els corn, 2,547,928 bushels oats, 286,449 bushels rye, 56,014 bushels barley, 211,265 bushels. Scenes in the Chicago Market. I Chicago Times of Saturday.] The first sharp tumble in the prices of grain since the commencement of the extraordinary infi ation in November wheat, occurred on yes terday. It made the bulls squeal while it lasted, and a large number of them hurriedly sold out all they could after the market had de clined to $1.19, with what proved to be more haste than discretion, since the market subse quently rallied to a much better figure, closing at $1.20)$. The hasty sales at $1.19, and $1.19 were directly THE BESULT OF A HUGE SCABS. for the market had opened at firm prices, sus tained by most encouraging reports from for eign and domestic points, and within half an hour after the commencement of 'Change. November wheat rose to a higher price than it has ever been quoted at during the prevailing boom, large transactions on the market taking place at $1.22%, and some private sales being reported within one-eighth of $1.23. That the scare was so general and so severe in its effects can be attributed solely to the uneasy condition of the market. The "break" had been expected for days, and had been in dustriously worked for by influential brother hood of hears for a week and more. So dis gusted were the latter with their utter failure to annihilate the prevailing high prices that some had even gone so far as to suggest form ing a combination that would represent some thing way up in the millions of dollars, for the express purpose of breaking the market by "filling up" the bulls with as much wheat as tbey would take at such prices as they would give for it. But in view of the great outside demand, and the frenzied attachment of "the unreasoning public" to wheat just now, the experiment was deemed to be too dangerous a one to undertake, as "the unreasoning" might in the end demand more wheat than they could either control or deliver, and a general smash for two or three millions or so might be the melancholy result. Still the persistent efforts of the great bear clique were no such insignificant taoucs as could safely be ignored, and even the most sanguine and ex travagant of the bulls began to feel that the closing price of Thursday$1.22%was about the top notch of anythine they might expect, and that it was absolutely necessary to stand from under. The leading men in the trade all along, from the commencement, utterly refused to believe in the permanency of the great boom in just so far as it forced wheat much above $1 per bushel, and the immense crowd of bulls, many of whom are thoroughly green outsiders, were only induced to believe that wheat was only safe to buy or to hold at $1.15 say, because THEY PELT THAT WALL STBEET WAS IN IT. As long as they were sure that a ring of spec ulators in New York were bulling this market for their own ends, they felt Rafe. They knew that these men will often run a common rail road share, worth forty cents, and which doesn't pay a dividend once a year, to a pros pective value af $1.50 or more, and chey knew that Wall street considers wheat that is ac tually worth $1 per bushel a very prime gambling "spec," to even $2, with the remain der from the top of the market in the specula tion, to the bona fide price paid in Liverpool to the men all along tbe line who don't know enough to get from under. This is the view of Wall street on a little western deal in wheat, and as long as the bolls here felt that it was the cat was jumping they were safe, even if wheat went "kiting" to $1.60. But an ominous rumor about eastern people unloading freely cooled the ardor of thelate curbstone crowd on Thursday night, and though it did not succeed in breaking the market much that evening it would have resulted in a lower market on yes terday morning, but for the fact that the Eu ropean advices were unusually good and served for a time to dissipate the bad impression and nervous apprehension that existed just below the surface. In spite of their bullish protesta tions the trading bulls began to feel that after all wheat was but wheat, and that it was pretty high for wheat, with millions more bushels to roll into Chicago and Milwaukee every day. With New York behind them they felt coura geous, but the faintest suspicion that the bot tom might fall out of New York, leaving them straddled on a declining market and cruelly exposed to the great grain wave rolling over them millions of bushels from the Western prairies, made them shudder. Beerbohm, from London, said that both wheat and corn were in good demand, and at advanced prices, looking up. For cargoes off coast there was a lively demand, and Liverpool quoted wheat two pence per centum higher. Advices from domestic points were also very good, and there seemed to be no reason appar ent for anticipating the "break." November wheat, which closed on Thursday at $1.22%, opened on the boord at $1.21^, and ranged as follows: 20%, 20 20^. 21V, 22, 22#, 22}, 22%, and suddenly declined to $1.18%, which CAUSED A TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT on the board, in which, it is needless to say, the curbstone, the alley, the commission houses, the "little board of trade," and all the bucket Bhops instantly participated. The "pit" on the board was a perfect bedlam. Men were struggling, howling, yelling, danc ing, shouting, and damning to their hearts' content the bears yelling with triumph that the break so long anticipated had come at last. AB France has had the credit of setting things booming through Baltimore sales once, this deal and England has been credited with following closely'in her wake through New York, and also of once breaking the market through an unfavorable Liverpool dispatch, so to J. K. Fisher was popularly at tributed the break In the market on yesterday. This gentleman is a very large operator and is intimately connected with interests centering in New York. He is the prime mover in many a gigantic deal here which the "unreasoning public," as old Col. James calls 'em, don't get hold of, but on yesterday, to the outside world in wheat, the announcement that J. K. Fisher had unloaded on the market the enormous quantity of 1,300,000 bushels of corn at 43% cents for November was a crusher. The bulls were scared out of their boots, and wished,to sell. They knew that corn was good property to hold just now, and that the best judges on the board expected it to rise much above this figure. That Fisher should sell sur prised them, and they immediately concluded, if in their feverish excitement theycan be said to have concluded anything, that Wall street, which was "in it," was now "out of it," and that IT WAS TIME TO STAND FBOM TJKDEB. As Gen. Stiles says, they were completely joggled," and off their base. "Here's the break, boys," they yelled, like so many fiends, "sell all you can sell, sell, sell, or you'll be left in the sweet by-and-by." ceeded to unload, and vigorously, though very I too much for "sundries." much to their surprise, they found plenty ready to buy at ruling prices, and, indeed, prices higher than those which immediately followed the break. There were good houses eager to buy all that the Beared bulls had to sell, and the market rallied at once, and closed atlo'ol,okat$1.19% AT THE 2 O'CLOCK CALL November opened at 19%, dipped to 19%, and rallied to the closing figure, whioh was 20J^. About 375,000 bushels of wheat changed hands in the transactions on call. Most of it sold at $1.19% and $1.20. NEW YORK CAMPAIGN. Kelly Greatly Enthused by His Reception In the Interior of tbe State-Gov. Robin son Quietly Confident of His Ke-EIec tlon. Special Telegram to the Globe, NEW YORK, Oct. 19.John Kelly, having traversed the State, is now on his homeward journey by way of Erie and the southern tier of counties. He was greeted with great en thusiasm at Lookport, and was called on for a speech. It was a common thing for a pro cession with music to be on hand, and Mr. Kelly grew so jubilant after awhile that he declared to the people that the fight was no longer between him and Robinson but be tween himself and Cornell. At Gonnells ville an out door meeting was held in Kelly's honor yesterday afternoon, and at Corning last night there was a big demonstration, something that any favorite of the people might be proud of, to say nothing of tbe bolting sachem of Tammany, so many years bated and feared by tbe country Democrats. When Kelly oomes marching home again there will be auoh a ratification and jubila tion, the Tammanyites say, as will" make their opponents ill. On the other hand, Gov. Robinson, and all his intimate friends and followers, are confidant he will be re-elected to the Governorship of New York. Despite the division and conventions he still stoutly maintains that he will defeat the Republican candidate, in short, that his own re-election is already assured. That the Governor is sincere in his belief is evident to all those with whom he will consent to converse on this snbject. His confidence is not assumed for campaign purposes. He honestly believes a majority of the people of New York will vote for him at the coming election. The Governor bases this confi dence upon the belief that he will get the vote of every Independent voter, and that the Republicans who will scratch Cornell will more than counterbalance Democrats who will vote for Kelly. Robinson's friends concede only 25,000 votes to Kelly in New York, and a few thousand outside and laugh at all other estimates. They also claim, and all their speakers will urge, that Robinson's re-election will mean nothing for Tilden, and since his election to the Governorship has had little intercourse with Tilden, and has not seen him a dozen times in three years, nor have letters passed between them. No connection whatever, political or otherwise, is acknowledged. OLMSTED COUNTY DEMOCRATS. of the The Four Leading Candidates Greenbackers Endorsed. [Special Telegram to tbe Globe.

LSpecial Telegram to the Globe. MILWAUKEE, Oot. 19.A party of eastern gentlemen, capitalists, are here en route for Ashland, Lake Superior, on business con nected with a proposed road from St. Paul to Ashland and a line of steamers from there to Buffalo. This project, if nsum mated, as is now altogether likely it will be, offers the business men of the far North west the ohoice^of an additional winter route and two additional summer routes to and from the seaboard, the first being via the Wisconsin Central railway through Milwau kee, and the last by lake and rail via Ash land. The party leave for Ashland this evening in a special car and expect to return Wednesday. The House Rent of "Honest John (Faribault Democrat.] It has lately leaked out, to the chagnn'of Republicans, that Honest John Pillsbury, while Governor of Minnesota, has occupied his own house in Minneapolis and has never lived in the capital a day, but for all this has regularly put in his little bill of $800 a year for rent of his own housea house for which no citizen would willingly pay over $400 or $500 per year. The Minneapolis Tribune in seeking to excuse this action of "Honest John" says that Gov. Davis practiced aw during his entire term. To this the St. Paul Dispatch replies that "Gov. Davis gave up his practice entirely, except to close up a few old cases and gave up his time exclusively to the duties of his officespending as many full days at the capitol, probably, as Gov. Pillsbury has hours." Don't Forgeti Brother Satterlee. [Bed River Free Press.

It's no use, Brother Hall you may yell and shout about corruption till you are black in the face, yet the "intelligent voter" will go right along electing the ring candi dates to officeand swear like blazes be cause millers do not pay enough for wheat, and that he is being swindled by them at every turn. Too Much for Sundries. [Stillwater MessengerRep.] Gov. Pillsbury took $3,028.15 from the State treasury in 1876 for "contingent ex penses," and in 1877 $2,737.13 for the same purpose. In addition he receives $3,000 per year as salary and $800 per year as house rent, though he lives in his own honse in Minneapolis. Now we submit that Mr. Pillsbury is too high-priced a governor for the people of Minnesota to employ, and that his contingent expenses will not bear a And thev pro^ I very close inspection. The State has to pay THTJRMAN TALKS. He Unbosoms Himself to a Reporter on the Ohio Election, A correspondent at Columbus has inter viewed Thurman. I asked the senator, says he, if he wasn't greatly surprised at the result here in Ohio. He admitted that he had confidently expected that it would be different, but added: "While it is a surprise to me and a disappointment, because I wanted to see the Democracy carry Ohio this fall, still, so far as I am con cerned, it will relieve me from the duties of an arduous position, and give me a ohanoe for rest, which I need." "The Republicans claim that this victory of their's wipes out the Democracy in Ohio, senator. Do you agree with them?" "Wipe out the Democrotic party? Why, not The Democratic party can't be wiped out! I believe it to be indestruotible. It will never die so long as we have a form of free government. You might as well try to make me believe that the world would be burned up next week as that the Democratic party could be destroyed while this govern ment is a republic." "To what do you ascribe this triumph of the Republican party? Never before did they make so determined a fight in a State contest." "They made up their minds that they must carry Ohio, or their party would fall to pieces. The Republican party is a different political organization from the Democratic one. It must now and then make a tremen dous struggle to retain existence^ and this was one of the occasions. It is now grasp ing for power, and power with it means a great centralized government, in which all the States shall be absorbed, so that they shall be nothing more to it than the coun ties are now." "A nation, as they call it not a union of the States?" "Yes, a great nation controlling every thing within its borders from one bead. This they seek to obtain by the aid of every means at their command. The money power, t^e power of patronage, by raising false is sues to alarm the timid, and every other de vice they can invent is brought to assist them to attain this end. See the great cor porations that are springing up everywhere. They will not look at a State charter, bnt must go to Congress to become incorporated. Railroad companies, telegraph companies, and banks must all be chartered by the Unit ed States Congress to carry on business. Formerly they were content with State char ters, but now they won't have them. This shows the drift of affairs toward centraliza tion. I will not say it is a monarchy they want, but they certainly desire to abrogate the rights of the States, and to make it all into one great government. And that is where the Democratic party must make its fight in the future." An Important Query by a Republican Paper. (Stillwater MessengerRep.] Though living in his own elegant mansion in Minneapolis Gov. Pillsbury has drawn $860 from the State treasury every year for "house rent," when he didn't rent any house. This $800 steal has been paid in part by men compelled by poverty and ex orbitant taxes to live in sod houses. When the Senate committee, Having made a thorough examination into the manage ment of the asylum, and having discovered glaring frauds, committed with the knowl edge and connivance of the officers and trus tees, and by the officers and trustees, recom mended the removal of certain ones, promi nent among whom was Loren Fletcher, Pillsbury insulted every honest man in the State by refusing to heed the recommenda tion of the investigating oommittee.
