THE RING OF GOLD. Merriam's Record as a Politi cal Financier Darkens His Candidacy. Even Republicans Confess lhat Popularity Does Not, Follow His Money. His Campaign Expenses Re ported to Have Ben Enor mous in Amount. He Is a Low License Candi date Standing on a High License Plank. Now that the first excitement over l>lr. MerrianTs nomination has passed, the wisest and best leaders of the Re publican party begin to realize that it was not so creditable a thing after all to do, and that the manner in which it was brought about lias placed a stain upon the state. It is singular that the newspaper records of 18S_ show that with the commencement of Mr. Mer riam 's canvass in that year (for the legislature) the talk of "boodle" and of a direct corruption of the voters of the state began, and have gained in volume every year. The fact that Mr. Merriam was amort; than millionaire may not have had anything to do with tills; the fact that in his canvasses enormous sums of money were supposed to be spent by somebody to aid him aid cause it.* The claim of the Republican party, | persistently made, has been that it nor- j mated only its vote-getters. This argu- i ment applies with capital force to Mer riam, who possesses a secret power of getting votes that worked with wonder ful success. lie came to the convention . with admirable recommendations as to his vote-getting qualities, for in US** he . was charged by his political opponent with corruption; a charge that has j never been refuted. Be was defeated in the canvass for the mayoralty by an overwhelming majority of 3,600. And j when lie asked his own party friends to elect a delegation to the stale conven- j tion in his interest, they responded by j snowing him under and clear out of J night. Had it not been for the secret ballot Merriam's success in the convention might have been rendered very doubt ful. The people who had chosen these delegates to perform a certain duty honestly had the right to know how they voted. Hut to reveal how they voted would have convicted a large por tion of the delegates present of the dis honor of breaking their expressed pledges. For delegation after delega tion that had been sent to this conven tion to support Scheffer or MeGill, broke that pledge under the cover of the secret ballot and voted for Merriam. Merriam had the convention hall flooded with his representatives— men who were not delegates and had no business among the delegates. Why they were there and what right they had to be there is a question that re mains to he answered. Perhaps the 1,000 gentlemen (sic) who climbed the stairs leading to a prominent horseman's office three days before the Bamsey caucuses could tell? Mr. Gilman is responsible largely for the Merriam victory, and it is to his dis credit that ii Is so. The votes that ho received on the first ballot came from the Merriam strength, and were given with a purpose. Gilman'S name was there to divide the strength of MeGill and Scheffer. and all that the Glome has charged as to the combination be tween them was doubly proven true. When the vote came as to whether bal loting should be secret or open, the Gil man men voted solidly with Merriam for the secrecy. The roll call of the coun ties shows that every Oilman county, from Aitkin down' voted solidly for the secret ballot. Those defeated are not slow in cursing Gilman for this, nor in hinting that his betrayal of the people's rinhts at this juncture was not wholly disinterested. It would be amusing If it were not shameful to hear the politicians still lingering at the Merchants telling of the stuns of money expended to secure Merrlam's nomination. The latest statement la that, including his canvass iii Ramsey county, the total cost was $210,000. One politician, a littie better posted than the rest, made up an item ized list of these expenses, which read as follows: __- P«ul during the session of the legis lature of l* - -(' $10,000 Cam ass to Ramsey county -. . 50,000 To canvass in the heelers and stri-ers, newspapers bought, etc 125,000 To expenses of slate convention.... 25,000 1210,000 These politicians make no mincing of Words in discussing this shameless business of barter and sale. A great many can be found who laugh at it and regard it as only an evidence of -"Billy's cuteness." A St. Paul evening paper yesterday printed the affidavits of J. V. Johnson, •f the Otter Tail delegation, in which he states that he was offered $230 by George Dab I, of Fergus Falls, to vote for Merriam. Mr. Johnson came to the convention as a Schetl'er delegate, and it was to change his vote to Merriam that he says the money was offered him. The Republican platform and Mer riam do not pull well together. The platform is for high license and Merriam is a low|license man of the worst type. He voted for low license, and in 1886 re fused to vote for high license, leaving the house so that his name should not be called. The temperance people realize this, as the following letter to the Globe shows: To the Editor of the Globe. An evening paper quotes a preacher from an obscure village as saying that Merriam is very popular with and ac ceptable to the temperance people of the party. Now, I am a Republican and a prohibitionist and. with hundreds of others, will oppose Merriam. The aforesaid preacher, of course, having had all his expenses paid while in the City by Merriam, will talk that way. but what has Merriam done to merit the .support of temperance people? He left the capitol, and (in 1886) had business down town when temperance legislation was about to be voted on. lie took the ■members of the legislature to his home and gave them all the liquors they could drink. He is a club house aristo crat, and gives more willingly to a Sunday oase ball match than to a church, lie has no honorable sympathy with the laboring man, and acts towards the struggling masses as it he despised them. Now. the people of Minnesota do not want that kind of man to be governor. No, sir. (Jive us Wilson every time. It won't hurt the state in stitutions to have a party house clean in-, any how. There will be a regular stampede from the Bepublican party of the temperance people. Many will vote for Hugh Harrison and many will vote for Wilson, all of which will beat Mer riam for the good of the state. A Ki'ri'BLiCAX. • • ■. * Gov. MeGill takes his defeat with sor row, and his friends feel inclined to put on the war paint. They allege that it was money that beat them, and they be gin to feel disposed to show how it was done. MeGill had only the offices to promise delegates, and against cold cash they were worth nothing. During the convention Loren Fletcher rushed up to a delegate from the Fifth district and offered him a railroad commission ership if he would change the four votes of his county from Merriam to MeGIH. But the county wouldn't change. What was an office to gold? To the Editor of the Globe. I saw in your paper nnblished Sept. 5 an article which 1 had written to our worthy governor, A. I!. MeGill. 1 never wrote any such article or heard of paid article, until 1 saw it in your paper, and whoever nave you that article simply lied. i was East at the time our county convention was held, and I expect you to correct said false statement. Yours truly, J. 1). Good. Morris, Minn.. Sept. 7. IsSS. Canning for C-ujrress. special to tb* Globe. St. Cloud. Sept. S.— The St. Cloud Times came out tills afternoon with the following editorial article strongly ad vocating tlie nomination of Hon. Charles Canning for congress. It is believed here that his nomination would be a tower of strength in the district to the state and national tickets, and that he would be supported by t**e Farmers' alliance. The Times says: . '•- . The Times is emphatically of the opinion that the Democrat* of the Fifth district si ould nominate Hon. L'h-rte* Canning, of Norman county, for congress. He is a lead in:; fanner of his rcirion. lie __• served to the Mature, and is known to be heart ana i soul iv sympathy with the farmer* of the state. Leading members of the alliance, as as well as farmers of the district geneially, ask ins nomination and pledge their support. If ihe Democrats would win they must nom inate ■ man who will get the farmers' votes. Charles Canning is that man. His nomina tion will add great strength to tbe slate and national tickets The Democrats of this dis trict cannot afford to follow the course of the Republicans and ipnor; the farmers.

Special to the Gio_e. Pipestoxe, Minn.. Sept. B.— From present appearances the Republican representative convention, which is to be held in this city Oct. 10, will be a one-sided affair. The district is com posed of Bock and Pipestone counties, the former having seven delegates and the latter six. The Rock delegates are all for the nomination of Harrison White, of Heaver Creek, while the Pipe stoneites are for Hon. J. F. Shoemaker, the present incumbent, also a Bock county man. li Mr. White gets the seven votes his nomination is assured, but should Mr. Shoemaker be indorsed by the Democrats, he will undoubtedly be elected. With Over Fifty Members. Special to the Globe. Pink City, Sept. B.— There was a Democratic club organization here on Friday evening, Sept. 7, consisting of over fifty members. There was an enthusiastic meeting in Hurley's new hall of the Pine City Democracy, and the fall campaign was formally opened with stirring vigorous speeches by local orators. The officers of the club are John F.Stone, president; James Hur ley and William F. Glason, vice presi dents; John D. Vauhn, treasurer, ahd Oliver Wilcox, Esq., secretary. For Ramsey's Sheriff. The latest candidate for sheriff on the Democratic ticket is '-Hub" Schurmeier, who announced his intention yesterday of making a race for the nomination. He said yesterday: "I was born here and raised here, weigh l "2 pounds and am six feet tall and don't see why 1 would not make a good sheriff if I can get the nomination. I'm alter it any way, and while a little late starting in, think 1 stand a fair show to succeed." For Cleveland and Wilson. Special to the Globe. Fouxtaix, Sept. B.— A Cleveland and Wilson club has been formed here. Its president is James A. Newman. HE BEAUDEITrHE LIONS. Remarkable Nerve Exhibited by a Welsh Professional Boxer. South Wales Daily News. An announcement made by the crier on Wednesday evening that a man mcd Williams Samuels, a local inn keeper and the champion boxer of Wales, would enter alone a den of lions at Messrs. Wombwell's menagerie, now located at Swansea, caused con siderable excitement in the town, and drew a great crowd to the show. At 9 o'clock the band played "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." and then Samuels, accompanied by Mr. Bost ock, manager of the show, walked up to a den containing a lion and about a dozen lionesses. A great crowd at once assembled round the cage. Mr. Bostock mounted a plat form and informed the public that his old friend Samuels had volunteered to perform a deed of daring such as had never been done in the menagerie since its establishment in ISO, - ". Mr. Wilt shire had, he said, recently at Cardiff entered the cage in company with Mme. Salva. the lion tamer, and had by his action caused a great sensation in South Wales. But Samuels was going to sur pass this feat, for. though urged to let Mme. Salva accompany him, he de clined to enter the den at all unless allowed to do so alone. This He was now about to do. The announcement was received with great cheering, though it was evident that, on the part of many present, there was a feeling of considerable anxiety and alarm. Samuels, however, seemed to share none of these feelings of un easiness. • Attired as a prize fighter and with a blue rosette on his breast, he ap pears at the entrance to the cage, and, cudgel in hand, boldly entered it. The lions appeared in no way to relish this intrusion, and it looked as though Sam uels would have had a warmer welcome than he bargained for. Possessed ap parently with nerves of steel, the man walked undaunted up to the end of the cage where the animals were huddled together awaiting only the slightest en couragement to spring on the intruder, and held his cudgel threateningly be fore the nose of the fiercest. Growls of rage greeted this act; but Samuels, in no wav discomposed, walked among the animals, and made them fly right and left before him. This he did several times, and on one occasion acted so rashly that grave fears were entertained for his safety by those in charge of the exhibition. * These— who, as a pre caution, were armed with red hot irons— were ■ ready to act promptly, when Samuels again ob tained the mastery over his savage com panions, and showed his fearlessness of them by firing a loaded pistol at their faces. Then, his courage maintained to the last, he went to the gate of the den and waited in a dangerous position while Mr. Bostock presented him, amid the cheers of those present, with a unique chain composed of spade and crown, and with a certificate recording the fact that he had accomplished his purpose. Immediately afterwards the and played "See, the Conquering Hero Comes,"* and Samuels was borne in triumph out of the menagerie and through the streets._ -.;':■ ■; -•- Jack-pots afford many an "opening" for young men.— Pittsburg Chronicle- Telegraph.

B.— This morning at 5 o'clock Henry Gotziin's granery, containing 400 bushels of oats together with eight horses, were burned at his farm near Emerado. Ed Hansen, superintendent of the farm, made an effort to get the horses out. He got them as far as the door, but the animals would go no further. Hansen was se verely burned about the face and hands. He saved his eyes by throwing a cloth over them. Three large stacks of hay also burned. Th fire was probably oc casioned by sparks from a pipe of one of the threshers who had gone in the field to work. * COLLISION* oh the Q. A Misplaced Switch Kestilts in a Smash-Up. Special to the Globe. La Crosse^ Wis., Sept. 10.— A serious accident occurred on the Burlington at East Winona yesterday afternoon. A freight train from the North, due here about 0 o'clock, went on the Yto allow a wild freight, north-bound, to pass. The switch .was misplaced, and the wild train lushed in upon the same track on which the freight was standing. All the trainmen, except one brakeman, were up ahead, and he saw the danger in time to warn the passengers, of whom there were a number, to "hold hard all." The trains pounded together with tre mendous force, damaging a number of car- in both trains so that a wrecking train had to be sent from here to clear tlie debris away. The track was blocked ten hours. Passengers got quite a lively shaking up in spite of their prep aration for the shock. FROM THE NEW SOUTH. A Party of Alabamans En Route to the Twin Cities.

They Are Taken In by the Minne sota Editorial Association. Special to the Globe. Saii.t Bra Marie, Mich., Sept. B.— The Minnesota Editorial association arrived here to-day in six sleepers, with dining and baggage cars. The editors speak highly of the trip and* the courtesy shown them by the Soo line.

They were given a reception by citizens, at which Messrs. Heatwole, Newson, Hall, Hoard, Senator Sabin and G. T. Byron spoke briefly but eloquently of the Soo and its people.

That Is the Opinion at Bismarc of J. W. Harden. Special to the 6 lobe. BisMAitcK, Dak., Sept. 8— W. Har den, the Democratic candidate for con gress, spoke here to-night, and was given a royal reception by . the people of Bismarck. His speech is pronounced by all to be the best political argument heard here for years, and he Is looked upon by those who heard him as the winning candidate. He devoted himself chiefly to the tariff question, and his arguments in favor of tariff re form are unanswerable. Many Repub licans in the audience are quick to ex press their admiration for the manner in which Mr. Harden handles the sub ject. He shows beyond the possibility of reputation that the position of the Democratic party on the tariff question is in the interest of the great agricultur al territory of Dakota, and those who think that he will not receive a heavy vote in all section of the territory are deceived. • .-.= ~.
