He made good use of his time during his visit to that State last year, and the probabilities are that he will have the full delegation of Hawkeyes at his back at Chicago in June. One Presidential boom has been nipped in the bud. John Swinton, who was mentioned as the probable candidate of the Socialist party, writes to inform his admiring friends that he is inelligible on account of having been born on foreign soil. The followers of the notorious Kearney will therefore nave to look elsewhere for Presidential timber. We would suggest that the Rev. Mayor Kalloch, of San Francisoo, might be an available can didate. John Kelly is weakening, many of his most prominent supporters having express ed themselves in favor of uniting with the regular Democratic convention at Syracuse in choosing a delegation to Cincinnati. They appreciate the fact that it will be dangerous to oppose the party in an election of suoh grave moment as that now pending. It will be found that when the convention meets that the party in New York will be practi cally a unit in support of the Cincinnati nominee, no matter who he may be. Vessels are now lying in the port of Chi cago loaded with 2,575,000 bushels of corn, 189,000 bushels of wheat, 77.000 bushels of oats, 78,000 bushels of rye, and 29,000 bushels of flax seed. As the straits are now practically open, this vast amount of grain will probably be en route for the seaboard before the close of tho present week. There are vessels with a carrying capacity of over a million bushels still unloaded in the port named, all of whioh will obtain charters within a few day<*. It is very evident from advices received up to date from Missouri that Grant will have a large majority in the State convention shortly to be held, and will be able to secure a solid delegation of thirty votes from that State. This number, together with those al ready elected and instructed for him, will give him over two hundred votes that can be de pended on to vote for him first, last and all the time. Less than half of the States hay* made their selections, however, and he can confidently expect large reinforcements in the future. Some Democratic newspapers are objecting to the candidacy of Gov. Seymour on ac count of his age. He is not yet seventy years old, just about the age of Lord Beaoonsfield when ho last assumed the reins of power in Great Britain, and no one can claim that his administration has lacked vigor, or that he Las in any way lost his mental powers. Gov. Seymour is fully able to administer affairs of state with ability, and would run like a quarter-horse in all parts of the Union, distancing every compet itor. There is little doubt but he will ac cept the nomination if tendered him. The Globe, as at present advised, does not believe that Mr. Springer entertained the corrupt proposition sent him by some of the Washburn gang, but he certainly makes a very lame excuse for his ohange of heart. He says when he expected to vote for seating Donnelly he had not heard Washburne's side of the oase as presented by Gen: Kiefer. This is thin. Eiefer presented no testimony. All the testimony taken was printed months ago. When he stated he should vote to un seat Washburn and seat Donnelly the evi dence was before him and neither Manning's or Kiefer's digest had been presented to the committee. He will have to invent some other reason if he hopes to give a plausible excuse for his flop. A WELCOME INVESTIGATION. The investigation which Mr. Springer will ask and doubtless secure to-morrow, is one which he should have sought immediately upon the receipt of the bribe giver's proposi tion to pay $5,090 for his vote. That was Springer's mistake. The Globe is loth to believe that any pecuniary consideration in fluenced Springer's change of heart, but his conduct in desiring the existence of the offer to be kept private gives color to the charge, however groundless it may be. It is time that it should be understood that it is dan gerous to make corrupt propositions to pub lic men even in an covert manner. If an investigation had been ordered the day after Springer received the proffered bribe it would have been muok easier to trace the authority than at present. Of oourse no reasonable person has any doubt of the source which in spired the bribe. The evidence taken in this district shows that Washburn relied on bribery to secure his election and his own party are on record as declaring that he bought his nomination. That he shoßld at tempt to pursue the same tactics in retaining his seat is not surprising. The bcrglar who invades a building for the pur poses of plunder may have no intention to commit murder and still he may do so to escape detection, and committed the first murder he may kill the policeman who pursues, to still further avoid capture. When a man has once entered upon the corrupt career which Mr. Washburn hag adopted he does not know where to stop. The first downward step, he is forced onward beyond his original intention. He most oonoeal his original soonndrelism by resorting to still greater. He almost ceases to be a free moral agent. In fact we might, with propriety, say that he becomes a very free Immoral agent. • 'While the pnblio will have no doubt of the inspiration of the attempted bribe, a positive conviction would prove an awful warning for those who might be inolined to engage in Washburnism. It is to be hoped the committee will still be able to probe the matter to the bottom. If a sub-oommittee could be sent to Min nesota, a mine of sooandrelism could be de veloped which would make present develop ments seem insignifioant. All that is neces sary is power and means to compel wit nesses to be present and the meat will be produced. MODEL DEFJSSSE OJtH ASUIiI 'K.Y7.V.H. The most unique vindication of Mr. Bill Washburn which we have met appears in the columns of our esteemed cotemporary, the Rochester Post. Most of the Republi oan papers fall to abusing Donnelly, fire a few heavy shots at the Democracy on gen eral principles and wind up with a shout about 3,000 Majority. That, they consider, settles it. The Post approaches the subject with a philosophical, "they all do it" sort of an air and finds a great deal of comfort in the de velopments. It announces tiirt no one oould be elected in this distriot "without a resort to some means that Geo. William Curtis and political saints of his sort would disapprove of." We presume that this is intended to indicate that "political saints" are fools enough to favor political honesty. Our critic having conceded that the "political saints" do not reside in the Third Minnesota District, confesses his disappointment. He says "one would expect to find some revelations of unusual skullduggery in the report of the oomtmttet, but they will be disappointed." The editor of the Post displays a familiarity with this dis triot which almost leads us to suppose that he has resided in Minneapolis. He is disap pointed, not because the report failed to ex pose "skulduggery" but it was simply the "wsuai" kind of "skulduggery," snob, as buying up an eleoiion, etc. Nothing short of some rascality more monstrous than Washburn's would be regarded by our co temporary as "unusual" for the Republican party, and the Globe is constrained to agree with the critic on this point. He approaches the details with commend able resolution. "The voting for Washburn of a couple of camps of lumbermen is thoion" The editor concedes that this was an "entirely unjustifiable outrage." He is working too straight from the shoulder to assume that the Republicans of the Wash burn stripe repudiate this "unjustifiable out rage,"but he cautiously declares that "no Re publican is under obligation to defend it." That is excellent; the Republicans do defend political outrages, but they are not under any obligation to do so. This announce ment will undoubtedly bo a great relief to many perturbed souls who have supposed that defense of Washburnism was essential to party loyalty. Our Republican friends, however, should not be led into any hasty re pudiation of rascality by the authoritative announcement that they are under no obli gation to defend it, for in the next breath the editor announces that he "suspeots" this "unjustifiable outrage" "has always been practiced up there." In other words they not only "all do it" but have always done it. This is a strong point for Washburn. The next point in this remarkable vindi cation is a settler. The buying up of men by the wholesale is conceded, but astonish ing as it might seem to a political saint they were "presumably unscrupulous fellows," and as if that was not sufficient defence they went cheap. "Cheap bummers" who only demanded a "cheap price" and rendered "cheap servioes," is the way our champion of Washburnism explains that there was no corruption about it. The Post was doubt less again the victim of disappointment when it found that the market price of vot ers in the Third Minnesota district is not ex orbitant, and hence it finds an excuse for Washburn's bribery on the ground that they were "cheap bummers" and sold themselves at a "cheap price." Regulating the standard of morality by the price paid for the sooun drelism isjcertainly worthy of Washburnism. has lacked The only other feature presented is that these "unjustifiable outrages" whioh Repub lioans defend without being under any obli gation to, were perpetrated by the Republi can committee and not by Washburn in per son. The Post concedes that there is a "single instance" where it is asserted Wash burn did the bribing personally, but the fel low he bought is denounced as a "dead beat." Of course, this excuses Washburn if the fel low ha bought was a "dead beat," and if he bought him "cheap" it is rather a virtue than otherwise. After making so clear a defense of Wash burnism, we are surprised that the Post should fall book on the committee as an ex cuse for Washburn personally. As a matter of fact, the working portion of the commit tee consisted of Charley Johnson and such other clerks as Washburn hired. Charley Johnaor was sent out through the distriot to buy the nomination away from Dr. Stewart, and, having sucoeeded in that, Washburn had him appointed secretary of the commit tee. The committee headquarters were re moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in order to be near the source of supplies, and the skulduggery, whioh we are assured by our esteemed contemporary is not "unusual" in the Republican party, followed. Washburn ought to head the Post article with a wood-cut of himself, and circulate it broadcast as a personal vindication of a political saint. The Shortest Way Out of the Di ft, cutty. jStillwater Lumberman.! H. F. Hall, the belligerent little curb who runs the St. Paul Globe, gravely reads out of the Democratic party, all men who did not en dorse Donnelly. It is barely possible that the Democratic party of this State has not duly in stalled Hall to do the heavy bouncing; it may be indeed that after the old line Democrats really become convinced that Hall has actually get into the Democratic party, which most of them are yet in doubt of, they will simply bounce Hall, as the shortest way out ot the difficulty. Extra Zeal Explained. [Owatonna Journal.] Hall, the renegade Republican, again reads a ma jority of Minnesota Democrats out of the party, to day.— St. Paul Dispatch. "Renegades" are always extra zealous, in hopes that they will thus establish their loyal ty, but their virulence harts nothing bat the cause they espouse. For instance, Arnold did this country a greater service as a traitor than as an American soldier. THB SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE, MOM) AY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1830. HOESE AND TEACK. Dr. Mintzer Sight-Seeing Among Thoroughbreds of Kentucky— Chicago Jockey Club Board of Trade Stakes lland icap-Jim lit cue's KugiLih Stable— MJ« cell»ueoua Notes. AMONG THE THOROUGHBREDS OF KENTUCKY. A letter dated Lexington, Ky., March 29, brings the information that Dr. W. L. Mintzer is in that section for the purpose of picking up some thoroughbreds and a trotting stallion to bring to Minnesota, of which he expects to se oure at least ono oar load. The Doctor is an old horseman, but his Kentucky visit seems to be furnishing him a genuine surprise. He says it is nothinng but horse, horse, wherever he goes. At Lexington he saw some ninety head in training, and the country is full of tracks where horses are being trained fur run ning or trotting, or broken fur saddle purposes. Uis greatest surprise, however, was when he was shown a three year old atullion who could turn a mile track in a square trot in 2:25. The animal was sired by George Wilkes, and the Doctor was given the privilege of becoming his owner upon the payment of $10,000. The Doc tor describes him as a fine formed bay, and, in fact. the best horse, to his eye, he ever saw, but he remarks that he would not be justified in buy ing him for Minnesota, as he would get but lit tle, if any, better patronage than second rate sires, an opinion that is justified by the ex perience of B. Barden, C. A. DeGraff, Willis Baker and otber enterprising breeders. But the Doctor should recollect that Minnesota is growing in intelligence as well as in popula tion. WEIGHTS FOB THE BOARD OF TRADE HANDICAP. The weights for the Board of Trade Handicap stakes, to be run on the first day of the seoond meeting of the Chicago Jockey and Trotting club, Wednesday, June 30th, have been an nounced. They are arranged upon the light or descending scale, as opposed to the heavy or ascending scale in the English handicaps. The idea of the British handicapper is to penalize a fast horse by weights proportioned to his per formances, thereby bringing him down to the level of the slower horses, and , of course, mak ing a slow race. The Chicago plan is exactly the opposite. Weight for age is assumed as top-weight, and the imposts are graded down ward from that point in proportion to the recognized capabilities of the contestants, thus giving the recognized leader his head at his or dinary impost, while the others are put on an equality with him as far as possible by lighter imposts, of course, securing faster races than by the English plan. Under this handicapping for the Board of Trade stakes Fortuna and Long Taw are given 115 pounds; One Dime Cammie F, Mark L. Lottery and Gen. Phillips, 112; Bill Bruce, Churlie Howard, Jack Hardy and Round Dance, 110; Ada Glen, Krupp Gun, Beatitude and Ella Rowitt, 108; Ben Hill, 107, Mary Walton, Victim and Vermont, 105; Sam Ecker, 104; Frank Short, Miss Hardaway and Omega, 102; Dudley, Simple Simon, Headlight, Re nown, Zeta, Blakemore, Hamadan, John Car ter, Mollie MefYill, Athelstane, Florence Payne and Buckden Lass, 100, from which point they are graded down to Longtime, who is given the lowest impost, 80 pounds. It will be seen that Isaac Staples, of Still water, has nominated Athelstane and Florence Payne for this event, both of whom are given 100 pounds, at which Athelstane ought to be a dangerous horse. JAMES B. KEENE'S ENGLISH STABLE. Mr. James R. Keene's stable of race-horses, headed by the great Spendthrift and Lord Murphy, arrived safely at Liverpool the 18th, ult, and have been transfered to Newmar ket. Besides the horses named the stable con tains the two-year olds, Gemsbok, Bookmaker, Bushman, Faxhall, McDonald, Licentiate, Omer Eyam, Brakespeare, Eland, and Bran Dance. The stable will be trained Dy Joseph Dawson, the noted trainer, who brought to the post Rosy Cross the winner of the Lincolnshire Handicap, aud Eef King who was placed tbird in the same raoe. From the high breeding and distinguished racing families from which the horses descend, aud in the hands of such a trainer, it is expected their performances will reflect credit upon the country of their nativi ty. THE ENGLISHMAN'S IDEA OF FAIR PLAY. The sharp practice of the stewards of the Liverpool cup race by which Lonllard's Parole was defrauded of his victory of beating both the handicapper and the horses pitted against him, is getting to be pretty well understood pn this side of the water, and is leading to any thing but favorable comment with which is coupled reminiscences of the past, where similar tactics were resorted to in connec tion with American horses. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, writing from Levington, Ky., says of the feeling in that great horse and racing center : I found the same stv.e of opinion in Lexington as at Paris in regard to tr.e indisposition of English men toward American torses. The Live Stock Rec ord attempts to prove, vith a success that cannot be doubted so far as present advices in regard to tho Liverpool Cup race throw light upon the subject, that Parole and Strathblane, the second horse in the race as placed by the judges, were running side by side, and in identically the same relative position in regard to Advance; that, consequently, if Parole fouled, Strathblane fuoled, and should have been visited with the same punishment . Kentuckians feel pe culiarly sensitive on this point, taken in connection with the remarkable handicapping, because the best of the American horses in England, with the excep tion of Parole, are Kentucky bred. Th.- y remember the persecution which followed Mr. Ten Broeck's horse Umpire in 1880, in the shape of continually re appearing protest against the horso's age, in spite of the fact that the colt was examined in the first part of his career by the best veternary surpeous of Eug land, and pronounced by them to bo of the age which Mr. Ten Broeck claimed for him. Tho last appearance of the charge resulted in a public apolo gy by its maker, who acknowledged that he had had no grounds whatever for his action. Count La Grange's great horse Gladiateur, the Derby winner of 1865, was the object of a jealousy which took the same form and led to the same result. Tha Eng lishman is fond of fair play, but more so of victory. Equks. miscellaneous . The Driving park at Mankato is for sale. The title page of the present week's issue of Duntori's Spirit of the Turfy/ill contain a like ness and sketch of the first trotter sired by Mr. R. Barden's Western Chief. Duntori'x Spirit of the Turf credits Dr. Mintzer, of this city, with being the owner of the running horse Long Taw, formerly Dave Moore. While not having the doctor's author ity for denying this statement, we have good reason for knowing that the Turf is mistaken and asserting that the horse belongs to Green B. Morris, who handled and run Mintzer, the doctor's horse, last year. But whoever the owner, he is a great horse this season, having already won a half-dozen good races, most of them with commanding ease. On Thursday last Mr. S. C. Phillips, owner of Sleepy Tom, the famous pacer, left Xenia, Ohio, where the horse had been wintered, for Dayton, where the horse will be put in train for the coming races. Mr. Phillips says that Tom is a better horse to-day than last season, and claims to feel confident that he will beat his record before the season closes. Mr. E. W. Grosvenor, of Hastings, the breed er and importer, announces through the Globe that he has two Percheron Norman stallion? , recently selected and imported from France by Mr. E. A. Buck, publisher of the Spirit of the Times, which he will sell an interest in or let out on shares. Mr. Grosvenor's offer should receive prompt attention. The Chicago Jockey and Trotting club is considering, if it has not already definitely de cided the matter, to offer betore January 1 a stake for trotting foals of ISSO, to be trotted by three-year olds. The conditions will be miic heats, best 3in 6, £50 entrance, h. f., $1,000 added, to be called the American Trotting Der by. This is a move in the right direction, and it is to be hoped the idea will be carried. Min nesota would be represented among the nomin ations for such an event. Capt. Bart. Atkins says, and in a way that shows be means it, that the slickest piece of horseflesh in the State was sired by Andrew Burnham. Mr. M. Meeker, of Castle Rock, Dakota county, has lately received a fine lot of blooded stock from E. 0. Newton and Dr. Burrows, of Batavia, 111., consisting of Jerseys, Essex and Poland China hogs. That live, newsy and reliable stock paper, the Kentucky Live Stock Eecord, of last week, gave upon its first page a very spirited cut of the wonderful trotting stallion, Gov. Sprague, in motion. Gov. Sprague is now at Walnut Hill farm, near Lexington, Ky., where he has been sent by Gov. Sprague in the expectation of getting a better class of mares than he was getting in Wisconsin. James Gordon Beanet"'a horse, Muscadin, won the Park hurdle handicap plate at Kemp ton park, London, Tuesday, and was second in a race at the same place Thursday. Dan Mace will have Judge Fullerton in his j string of trotters this season. Gen. Abe Buford think* be has the winner I of the Kentuoky Derby in his brown three year-old llainbow, by Enquirer, out of Nin ette. Mr. L. Hart, of New Orleans, has instituted suit against the Pennsylvania railroad oompa ny for $25,000 for the (killing of Bonnie Carrie last October near Columbus, Ohio, and injur ing Charley Howard, Olemmie G., Buckeye, and Redding. The fine string of trotters belonging to Mr. Thomas Wallace of New York city, consisting of Darby, 2:16^; Harvey, 2:203^; White Stockings, 2:21; Dan. Bryant,. 3:24, and Joe, 2:25, are to be handled this season by by James A. Dustin. With Darby in Dustin's hands and Hopeful in Dan Muce's associations can confidently look forward to hot contests in the free for all, and if St. Julian should join them, as is repor ted, some of the most interesting struggles ever witnessed} in that class, may be expected. With Hopeful and Darby in condition the California wonder would have all he could at ted to to retain his laurels. Mr. Harvey Demurs. To the Editor of the Globe. The following item appears in your issue of the 3d inst., and would be passed in silence but for the injustice it does to the young man who wears the distinguished (?) honors unwill ingly attributed to me: Mr. E. W. B. Harvey, not Hawley, as the other pa pers had it, is the principal of the Elk River schools. He was formerly principal of the High Bchool on the East side. Now, Mr. "Editor, this is too much, too much by half— the first half, if you please; for the transcendant honor of being principal of the Elk River school has been won by other dis tinguished educators, and never by me. The last half is not frr from" the trnth, and, how ever much I may regret that the honors of eight or nine years in connection with the Min neapolis schools, could not be followed by the crowning glory of being principal here, I de rives swe-et consolation from the reflection that other great men have fallen far short of reach ing the topmost round in the ladder of fame. Being a very modest little man, Mr. Editor, and desirous of doing exuet justice to all, I most respectfully request yon to publish this squib. I feel assured you will grant my re quest as you would do no man a wrong. E. W. B. Habvey. P. S. — A friend has suggested that, in view of the approaching tair to be held in Minneap olis Elk River has already built a mile and a half of sheds for the accommodation of stock, a sort of suburban appendage, you understand. If you think that more will be needed, just say so, and we will extend it indefinitely. SATURDAY'S COURT RECORD. District Court. SPECIAL TEEM C4LENDAB.

[St. Charles Times— Dem. | We know of no Democrat of any promi nenoe who would justify the unseating of a Kepnblican Congressman who had been fairly and honestly elected. Such an act was never committed by the Democratic party and there is no jnst reason for believ ing that such an unwarranted act ever will be committed by them. Donnelly, however, believing that he had been deprived of his election by bribery, corruption and intimida tion contrary to law, eonght to secure his alleged rights throaght the proper and lawful mode of procedure in such cases, as he had a right to do. He instituted a contest under the forms of law, and proceeded to take tes timony in the case at the proper time and in the proper manner. The testimony showed the charges of bribery, corruption, intimi dation and illegal voting in the interests of Washburn to be true, which in extent and effect was so damnable as to put to the blush the methods of Louisiana, and deterred his opponent from making a bad matter worse by any attempt at rebuttal, hoping, no doubt, to cheek it through by blowing the fog-horn of the party placed in the mouth of every little slalwart who had more wind to spare than he had trains to exercise. At least the method adopted proves this to have been the policy of Washburn. In Hot Water. FSwift County Courier.] Public Examiner Knox seems to have got into hot water in his report of the examina tion of the auditor and treasurer's offices of Bamsey county. He censure 3 Auditor Davis in the report to an extent that the auditor could not stand and so the latter arises to remark that the report of the examiner is unjust, and in as much as the Dispatch, a Republican newspaper — in fact the liepubli oan newspaper of St. Paul — takes sides with the auditor and against the examiner, it looks as though spite or partisanship had much to do with the getting up of Knox's report. At all events, both sides have been mffciDg it lively the past week or two in "going" for each other. American Colonization Society. New Yobk, \pril 3. — A Washington special says: The American Colonization Society undertakes to give free passage and support for six months to as many persons as pos sible within its means. A ship load of eighty or 100 negroes will soon sail for Li beria under its auspices. The society's funds are limited, and it is obliged to disregard most of the calls on it. The secretary says the negroes in many Southern districts have despaired of conquering raco prejudice, and are anxious to surrender everything and em igrate to the North or to Liberia, if facilities were furnished them for travel. Compara -1 rely the great cost cf transportation to Liberia worked to the advantage of those parts of our own country favored by the emigrants. <i wishes its Teeth. [Preston Republican. | The St. Paul Globe gnashes its teeth, which is good evidence that Donnelly is a gone gosling. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. Gathered by the Special Reporters of tho Daily Globe. STILLWATER City election to-morrow. See that your name in registered to-day. Hon. J. N. Castle has returned from his trip East. The sheet and pillow-case dance to be given for the benefit of Prof. Gooch will take place next Friday night. An employe in D. M. Swain's machine shop got some babbit metal in his eyes Saturday af ternoon, and serious consequences are appre hended. The Galley Slave company drew a pretty good house Saturday night, and the presenta tion of the play was fully up to the expecta tion of the audience. The examination of tho Noonan brothers for stealing wheat was finished Saturday after noon, and the b^fc were discharged, the evi dence being insufficient to convict. The office of city treasurer will be contested for hotly. The endorsement of D. W. Mc- Eusick, independent candidate, by the Demo cratic convention, insures his electio n. Miss Minna Wright will entertain an audi ence to-morrow night. She comes highly recommended, and as the proceeds oi the en tertainment are for the Y. M. C. A. there ought to be a Jarge attendance. At the meeting of the Building association Saturday night, nominations were made fur a board of directors for the coming year. The election of the board will take place the first Saturday in May. Borrowers were scarce, and Theo. Jassoy sucoeeded in borrowing $2,000 at the low bonus of 35 per cent. Posters were placarded Stturday announcing A. L. Gillespie as independent candidate for alderman in the First waid, and signed by five or six residents of said ward. The language used in the poster and the insinuation con veyed does not redound to the credit of the men who signed. It is about as small a piece of business as we know of, and if people are to be judged by their actions then the judgment in this case should be pretty severe. The convict population at the penitentiary received a rich and unexpected treat yesterday afternoon in the shape of an entertainment given them by the Harmonia quartette and Miss Aggie Green. To say that the entertain ment waa appreciated would not express the pleasure manifested by the prisoners, which was not the less sincere because undemonstra tive. The quartette, Miss Green and Warden Reed are deserving of much praise for the entertainment and thus let ting in a ray of sunshine on the lives of the convicts. It is to be hoped that there will be many mere such entertainments. MANKATO. Dr. Stauffer and family have removed to Pipestone, which place they intend making their future home. The sociable took place Friday night, at the Masonic hall. Although the weather waa ex ceedingly disagreeable, as it was very muddy and rained until a late hour, there was quite a good attendance. Ice cream and cake were served as refreshments. Dancing was kept up until a late hour, aud everyone thoroughly en joyed themselves. The following aldermen and members of the beard of edncation were nominated at the Democratic cavcuses last week: First ward — Alderman, John Mahowald; member school board, Wru. Bierbauer. Second ward — Aldermen, Stephen Lamm, H. Guth to fill vacanoy; school board, Daniel Buck. Third ward — Alderman, Ghas. Parsons; school board, Dr. 0. F. Warner. Fourth ward — Alderman, Jame3 Cannon; school board, J. G. Wise. DEMOCRATIC CITY CONVENTION. The Democratic city convention met on Fri day afternoon, at the city hall, for the purpose of nominating city officers. Stephen Lamm was elected chairman and Dr. 0. F. Warner, secretary.

The Secretary's Next Friend Declares it is All True About Joseph. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] The quarrel between Secretary Sherman Mid Mr. Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago Trib une, having reaohed the danger point, an En t/uirer reporter yesterday sought out Hon. War ner M. Bateman in hopes that he would be able to make peace by a word of explanation. What Mr. Bateman had to say rather widens the breach between two eminent gentlemen who should dwell together in unity. Mr. Bateman, in a speech delivered at Oummins ville recently, stated in effect that Mr. Media's hostility to Secretary Sherman was due to the fact that Medill had made a personal appeal to Sherman to change his policy of resumption, concluding with a threat that if he did not do so, he (Medill) would begin an attack on him (Sherman) that would ruin him. Mr. Medill denies that any such interview between him and Secretary Sherman ever took place. A Washington telegram to the Philadelphia Press setting forth these f aots was handed to Mr.Bate man, with the request that he would rive the Enquirer any further information regarding the controversy of which he might be possessed. Mr. Bateman replied to this effect: "When I learned that Mr. Medill waa carry ing on a bitter warfare against Secretary Sher man to gratify a personal spite, and out of a spirit of pure revenge, then I said the first op portunity that presented itself I would give the facts to the public. The facts are these: Mr. Medill called on Secretary Sherman at the treasury department in Washington, and en deavored to induce him to change or modify his policy of resumption., Mr. Medill stated that the passage of the resumption act would ruin business, increase bankruptcy and break up every national bank in the country. He stated further that he himself was involved, and he knew that resumption would bankrupt him. Mr, Sherman replied that he was there to per form his duty as he saw it. It was not in bis power to change the resumption act, if he de sired so to do, and if it wan passed into a law he could only see that its provisions were car ried out. Mr. Medill then changed his tactics, and threatened the secretary. He said if his demands were not com plied with in regard to the resumption act he would begin and attack upon him in his newspaper, that he would eventually ruin him. Mr. Sherman, in reply to these threats, repeated that he intended to do his duty. Mr. Medill then returned to Chicago, and since that time he has carried on a bitter and vindictive warfare against Sherman." •'When did this interview between Mr. Medill and Secretary Sherman take place?" "About one year before the passage of the resumption act. ' "When did the Tribune's attacks begin?" "Immediately after Mr. Medill' a return to Chicago, and they have been kept up in one way and another ever since." "But, Mr. Bateman," said the reporter, "Mr. Medill says this alleged interview never occur red, and that he never attempted to dissuade Secretary Sherman from carrying out the pro visions of the resumption act, on the other hand, Seoretary Sherman Bays the interview did ocour, and that Medill labored with him and threatened him. Do you know that Sher man's statement is correct?" "I know that it is absolutely correct. It is not a question of veracity between Mr. Sher man and Mr. Medill; the conversation was heard by others. This Mr. Medill did not know, and he is probably ignorant of it yet. It is a fact, however, that other gentlemen heard what was said on both Bides. Mr. Medill is hard of hearing, und, like most people af flicted in that way, he talks louder than is necessary; and in this case he had a larger au dience than he expected he had." "Who are the persons who overheard the conversation?" "I will not give their names at present. When it is important that the names should be given I will give them. Just now I will not." "Yon are certain that such an interview took place?" "I am positive of it, and I know that what Secretary Sherman's friends have said, about it is correct in every particular." In connection with the above Mr. Bateman wished to correct a statement attributed to him that Mr. Medill' s hostility grew out of the refusal of Mr. Sherman to make some ap pointment for him. "I stated to the reporter," said Mr. Bateman, "that Mr. Medill had made an application to Secretary Sherman, which was refused. I referred to the matter concern ing the resumption act, and the reporter under stood that it was an application for an appoint ment." WISCONSIN NEWS. Navigation has commenced at Green Ray.

That the convention may name a candidate fully representing the decent principles which I feel sure it will put before the country is, my esteemed friend s, the earnest hope of April 2, 1880.

INSIDE HISTORY, Uow Evarts Took Mr, Hayes' Proclamation on the Inter-Oceanic Canal. | Washington Special, April I.] A bit of inside diplomatic history has leaked out, which sheds a deal of light upon the rela tions which exist between the President and his secretary of State, and the reasons which induced the latter to take the very unusual oourse ot-sending a special message of his own to Congress, aa a sort of addenda or attach ment to the President's message upon the in ter-oceanic canal question. It appears that when the question of the in ter-oceanic canal first began t« attract public attention, and as it became evident that the country was. pretty decidedly opposed to al lowing any foreign government to build a ship canal, and had a weakness for the time-hon ored policy known as the "Monroe doc trine," Sir Edward Thornton, the British min ister here, became a good deal agitated upon the subject, and wan exceeding anxious to head off any such official announcement of the posi tion of this country upon that question as was made by the President in his message, aud as embodied in the resolution now pending before the special House committee on the canal. Naturally ho went first to Secretary Evarts, who, as ho knew very well, held views antago nistic to the general sentiment of the country on this question, and asked him what proba bility there was that this government would take any official action in the matter. Secretary Evarts made light of the British minister's fears, and as sured him over and over again upon divers occasions that the whole thing was merely i. passing cloud, and that it would never arrive at the dignity of Congressional action, much less be made the subject of special attention in the message from the President. The secretary stuck to this text until he finally learned offi cially that a message was to be Bent in upon the subject. Thornton learned of it about the same time and again hied him to Evarta in a more perturbed state than before. The secre tary again sought to comfort him and assuming that the usual custom would be adhered to, and that the secretary of state would be al lowed to write this, as he does most messages of the President, assured Minister Thornton that he need have no fears about it ; that he (Evarts) would have the writing of the men sage, and he would see to it that there should be nothing in it at all obnoxious to the British minister and his government. It should be merely a mass of words and general platitudes, and should say nothing that amounted to any thing. This interesting out-giving of diplo matic seerots on the part of the secretary of state was made at a little private dinner party at the English minister's house. About ten days later the President treated his secretary of state to a little surprise party by reading him the mes sage which the President himself had prepared upon the inter-oceanic canal question. The amazement, mortification, chagrin and anger of Sesretary Evarts can be better imagined than described. He used his utmost efforts to persuade the President to change his mind and allow the secretary to send in a different mea sage, but the President was sbdnratc, and the secretary found himself badly left He wm obliged to inform Thornton of the situation of affairs and get out of his dilemma with that gen tleman as best he could. The only concession which the President would grant to hi* secre tary was permission for the latter to send in a message of his own with that which the Presi dent himself had written. It was a terrible come down for the secretary who has a feeling of supercilious contempt for the abilities of most of his official associates, including the President himself, but it was the best that could be done, and the secretary decided to take the course ho did in order to give a sort of flavor to the crow which he waß obliged to eat. It is unnecessary to add that the breach which hufl existed for somo time between the Presi dent and Secretary Evarts has not been narrow ed by the events above related.
