EXTRA COMES OF THE ROOSTER
GLOBE.
The jubilation issue of the Sunday Globe at
tracted great attention and the demand was im
mense. To accommodate those who may wish
to tend them to their Rcpublicau as well as
Democratic friends, an extra edition has been
printed and copies can be obtained by application
at ihi- counting room. As it is a twelve pace
italic the postage It two cents per copy.

With a Democratic legislature "Oar Car
ter" has a chance for the Senate, to fill Lo
gan'6 shoes.
Mr. Leitek, who pays Blame $13,000 a
year for the rent of the thrifty politician's
Washington house, was one of the earliest to
send congratulations to Cleveland.
The tax valuation of Atlanta, Georgia, has
been increased over $2,000,000 in the last
year, the grand total being: very nearly $29,
--000,000. The south is showing a ratio of
prosperity not equaled by any other section .
Does George William Curtis claim to be a
Republican, spitefully asks a sore-beaded
Blaineite journal. He was a Republican till
that party expired, its death being super-
Induced by foulest, rankest corruption.
Dt'KiNO the long and tedious suspense,
caused by the slow counting of the votes in
New York, the Republican journals, gener
ally were so untrue and mystifying, that the
people had to purchase Democratic papers,
to get the true and reliable account of the
canvass. ,
The New York Evening Post advises the In
dependent Republicans not to 6eek to be re
presented In President Cleveland's cabinet.
What can be the objection to having the al
lies, without whose cooperation a Democratic
administration could not have been secured,
represented in that administration t
It is reported that the Mormons arc acquir
ing large blocks of land in the most fertile
portions of Idaho, and the charge is made
that the methods adopted in this direction
are fraudulent, a system of township entries
having been devised for the purpose. If the
•Mormon gobbling scheme is successful all
the desirable lands will be withdrawn from
settlement.
David Davis eot off the fence and dumped
himself into the Republican camp at an in
opportune time. He thought he was doing
some fine scheming by means of which he
might return to the Senate. By joining Issue
with Logan, the ex-Senator might have won,
and at the least would have given the retir
ing Senator some trouble, but now it is of no
consequence, unless it is to Davis to reflect
what a blunder he made in cominc out for
Blame. ' ~
A few days ago the Globe spoke of the
indifference and contempt with which the
Chinese government was attempting to wage
war upon the Empire, and predicted the ig
nominious failure of the French. The verifi
cation of the prediction has come. The
French have withdrawn from . China in dis
grace, defeated by the contemptuous "mas
terly inactivity" of the Chinese, and made
the world's laughing stock by its aborotive
and really bombastic bomardments.
Conklixo is Blames nemesis. His "Tur
key gobbler" speech, grandiloquent as it was
In flapdoodle rhetoric, cooked the ex-
Plumed Knight's Presidential goose. At
Cincinnati iv 1876, in spite of a helpful sun
stroke, Conkling defeated Blame's nomina
tion, and again in 1880 at Chicago, and this
year his unobtrusive but felt influence, the
mute eloquence of silent contempt took from
him the state of New York, and closed forev
er bis presidential hopes. Now none so poor
as to do him reverence. '
George Bliss has got down from bis high j
horse. He was to take the election count I
into the courts,and put Bluine judicially (not I
judicously) Into office anyhow. But bis nerve i
was not equal to bis corrupt desires. He
quailed before the brave and defiant declara- '
! tion of the Democratic committee, that they
I would demand only what was right, and op
pose what was wrong, at all hazards and to
every extremity. At this he slunk away, 1
like the coward that he is, into shadowy ob
scurity. This is not the first time that a high
sounding manifesto, has shriveled into an
ignominious fizzle.
A number of Democratic successes this
year are achieved by small majorities. The
Democrats have the Illinois legislature by the
preponderance of one vote on joint ballot;
in the first California congressional district,
Uanley, the Democratic candidate has 59
majority, and in the first lowa district Hall.
Democratic candidate, was successful by 70
majority. Politics become interesting when
close times like these arise..
Ax enthusiastic New Yorker has evolved a
plan for a subscription fuu'd to procure a
i present for the President-elect. It is a pro
ceeding that ought to be nipped, in the bud.
The country has had all the present-taking
Presidents it wants, and all asked to make, a
donation as indicated should say no with
a big N. • Probably Gov. Cleveland would
not accept any pre.-e.nt, but none should be
offered to him. Let all tlte people begin,
with the new administration, with clean
hands.
Mb. Blaise serenaded himself at Augusta
last night and made a speech. He pretends
t > l><- in (Mat distress regarding the 6outb,
and plays the part of an alarmist. But all
that rubbish goes for nothing, everybody
knows why it is said. As Ion.; as the Repub
lican party controls the United States senate,
a man who It not vicious would not preach
such nonsense. What Mr. B.aine thinks or
cays is of little cons, nee, ai.d what be
had to offer last night simply shows bow
u n philosophic and unpatriotic he is.
Gen. Logan suffers a double defeat
Bl.iine carried him down as a candidate for
Vice President, and on top of that the Illi
nois legislature turns out to be Democratic
by one majority, and all chance of the
Senate is gone, and Logan's successor will
be a Democrat. Logan has had twenty j
yean of public life and honors enough to
qui-nch his ambition, though very likely be
will not retire without some feeling of disap
pointment, but he is young enough and poor
enough to go out into ttie world and earn an
hou'-st iiviii. As the world goes be has
been an exceptionally honest man, and has !
not acquired wealth by any of the "avenues"
many statesmen of his party have worked
successfully. Had the Illinois legislature
been Republican a sharp tight would have
been made for Logan's 6cat, and it is doubt
ful if he could have held the fort. So in bis
•aura defeat he has the consolation of going
down with bis party, and not being put down
by It. •;.

The very vii in rife with speculations, theo
ries and suggestions as to what Mr. Clew
land may be expected to do, and what be
will do, when he goal into his great office.
Of course, the foes of the Democracy pre
dict terrible things, and the wildest vagaries
are Bet afloat. By partisan spite the Ignorant
colored people are warned that their day of
freedom It over, and that the mannack-s of
slavery are a Ire ady being forged for their
limbs, and with the incoming of a Democrat
ic ad ministration all their rights will be
wrenched from them. Of course dishonest
and depraved men are exciting these alarms
for mischevious purposes But when the
truth comes to view in the near future, these
false predictions will react upon their origin
ators, and the colored pspulation will come
to confldc in an administration whose acts
are measure! by, and arc in accordance with
the constitution; an administration conser
vative of the rights of all men, without re
gard to race or previous condition of servi
tude.
The future action of the new President Is
outlined with great particularity — be Is re- :
lieved from the perplexity of forming his I
own Cabinet, or of shaping the character of
his own administration. These absurd spec
ulations, and ahsurd'-r charges preferred
against Mr. Cleveland are worthy only of
contempt. He is freely charged with having
made "bargains" during the campaign, and
with having promised and parceled out all
the prominent offices within his gift— and
mostof the small ones. ~
Grover Cleveland Is not that sort of a man.
Probably no man ever went into the Presi
dency weighted with fewer pledges than he.
His hands are free. He is absolutely un
trammeled. That be will wifely and fairly
and conscientiously coneiuder every appoint
ment, beginning with his cabinet, may be
set down as absolutely true. There
were various elements which entered
into the campaign, resulting in bis election.
The representatives of these element* will be
rightly and justly considered in the forma
tion of his cabinet, and in bis after appoint
ments. The President-elect Is not the man
to shrik any responsibilities or duties in
volved in just executive action. The
"schreikcrs" are making the welkin ring
with charges of the utter violation of every
requlrment and obligation of civil service
reform, and are charging that there will be a
general change of official incumbents, a uni
versal upheaval among the officcholding fra
ternity. There will be work enough to do in
"turning ra*caU out," to produce a great
commotion no doubt, but many a worthy and
honest official will be spared to the public
service, without regard to previous condition
of party fealty.
Grover Cleveland has the nerve and fear
lessncsß to do the right thing without regard
to unjust clamor come from what quarter it
may. From the elements of character al
ready developed by Mr. Cleveland in the
discharge of official, executive duties, there
is reason to look for an eminent'y win c,
conservative, discriminating and able ad
ministrator of the government. He regards
public office as a public trust, to be adminis
tered for the good of the people and not for
private, personal benefit. Cleveland is not i
the bound serf of a rty, pledged to narrow \
bigoted, partisan work, but with a wise and !
comprehensive view of the public needs, he '
will endeavor to so shape administrative ac- :
tion as to serve the greatest general good of ;
all. To denounce him in advance of his of
ficial action is unjust, but his calumniators,
during the campaign have shown themselves
capable of any act of meanness and base
ness.
HOY I. Mi CAXMItATES.
The history of politics in this country re
cords no instance where a perambulating,
speech- making, letter-writing Presidential j
candidate has been successful. The earlier
Presidents thought It beneath them to advo- i
cate their own claims before the people but I
during the canvass held themselves aloof j
from active participation in the campaign,
and kept themselves apart from election
crowds in dignified, 6llent retirement. How
would George Washington have appcired in
a swallow-tailed coat parading himself be
fore the people, asking for their support! He, '
would no more have thought of engaging In '
end) a proceedlng^than would a crowned
head of Europe, where royalty is held too sa
cred to come into contact with the common
people.
Henry Clay was the first Presidential candi- j
date to deviate from this line of dignified
silence. He had mouth and magnetism,
and there times, like his magnetic successor, I
the Plumed Knight. he tried to vote and mag
natise his way into the Presidency, but signal
ly failed. He wrote letters too. but in the cam
paigu of 1544 he wrote one letter too many, j
and that cooked bis goose, and placed the
Presidency forever beyond bis reach. ' Clay
wrote that letter to an editor in Alabama.and
had reference to the annexation of Texas,
which was then a ticklish question. Be at- j
tempted to carry water on both shoulders.

i While be failed to effectually conciliate the
south, be offended northern sentiment. The
letter lost him New York, «nd with ft the
Presidency. New York wu then, a* this year j
a pivotal state, and decided the election then
at now. But Mr. Cla> did not ask to have
that fatal letter burned either.' Henry Clay,
whatever may have, been hi? fault-, was no j
dodger, and be never closed a communica- !
tion by writing, "Barn this letter." He was
too bieb-mlnded for that.

In 1860, Stephen A. Douglas, the Pr-«i
dential cadidate of a divided Democracy
in Tain brought Into the (it-Id bis great pow
ers of oratory and measureless magnetism.

stump was less obnoxious Had Douzlas

he would have gone triumphantly in to the ;
Presidency and civil war would Lave bad no ■

In 18H Horatio Seymour, tne Pr •■>! 1 -ntitl
candidate of the Democracy, made a com par
itivvly quiet, mitt political tour < tbrirazb a
portion of the country, but, notvriUiKUnriinz
his high character and great ability he was i
defeated. ,
But worst of all. In 1572, poor Horace j
Greelev made the great mistake of his life by I
exchanging the pmud p »siti«in of editor of ,
; the Tribune, tht-n the most powerful and in

fever.
But it was left for 1854 to present the most :
fantastic .ml discreditable exhibition of a :
perambulating Presidential candidate, known
to political history. Mr. QBlaine rant d
and raved for six or eight weeks
through many of the states, to be confronted
with '•Hunt Ibis letter," ami numerous evi
dences of his corrupt political carte-, and to |
earn that manufactured, artificial enthusi
— and the ravine of cxci U«l, tumultuous i
crowds do not make vou-s or secure the
pathway to tin Vn -Mdent-y. He closed Mi
stumping tour at the end ol the eltt-lion, to
go home to AU'.'Uala to close his Ignominious
political career by Ignominious feat. '
"Weighed In the balance and found want
ing," is the requiem that signalizes the final ;
overthrow and. utter political eclipse of one
of the moftt dangerous party a.hvu- ;

national politics.

paign shall henceforth serve to close the
door to political poltroons, posing tarn . the

THE LATE <:.IMI' I TOY.
Now that the campaign It ended and polit
ical tmnquility restored a calm review can
be taken of the events of the past few months.
The Democrats have not won by such a de
cisive victory that they need to plume them
selves overmuch, and, except that it turns
them out of control, the Republicans li.iv.
not been defeated by so decisive a vote that
they MCd to feel very much disheartened. ;
The certain states on either side we do not >
take into consideration. It was no especial
endorsement for Blutne to carry Minnesota
by forty or fifty thousand, and it was no es
pecial endorsement for Texas to give Mr. '
Cleveland a hundred thousand majority.
The four pivotal states Ml New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, for,
though there was an October contest, OUio
has not been a pivotal state on the presi
dency fora quarter of a century. In those
pivotal states the margin was too narrow for
good health. In Indiana and New Jersey it
ranged from five to seven thousand, ami in
New York and Connecticut only a trifle over
one thousand. When the great population
of these states and the degree of intelligence
is considered, the margin becomes exceed
ingly in significant
The campaign was bard and well fought
on ooth sides. Though in the agonies of de
feat Republicans cry out against Mr. Maine
as a weak canculate. be was, nevertheless, ;
their strongest man in a campaign; Vulner
able in many respects, bis record did not
damage him with the masses of his party,
while bis bold and aggressive personal cam
paign won admiration and inspired bis fol
lowers to redoubled exertions. But for Mr.
Blame's personal campaign in Ohio, the
battle would have ended in October by the
loss of that state to the Republican party.
There were other agencies, such as the col
onization of voters, the use of money, the
machinery of the U. 8. marshals, etc.,
but it was the personal effort of
James G. Blalne, thrown -in the
scale, which carried Ohio In October
and cave the opportunity for a victory in
November, which was only lost by Mich a
trifle that six hundred votes would have
turned the scale the other way. Arthur
would have been handicapped in the doubt
ful states by the same element which, by re
fusing to vote, gave Cleveland his groat ma
jority over Folger, and Edmunds would have
fallen on his party like a Greeley expedition
to the North pole.
On the other hand the Democrats did not
nominate their strongest man In some re
spects he was their weakest, because bis nom
ination awakened antagonisms in New York
which others might have avoided,
and without New York Demo
cratic defeat was a certainty. It wa
the glamor of 192,000 majority over Folgcr
for governor, which gave Cleveland the nom
ination at Chicago. The Globe pointed out,
prior to the nomination, the fact that this
majority did not come from Republicans go
ing over to the Democratic party, but because
the Republicans absented themselves from
the polls in disgust. This was proven by
incontrovertible figures, which showed that
While Cleveland bad 1i>2,000 majority, he
only received some 800 votes more than Gen.
Hancock in 1880, when Gen. Garficld had
21.000 majority in the state. The Globe
pointed out that the Republicans would
not remain at home in the
Presidential year, and they did
not. They came to the polls In force, and if
twenty thousand of them bad not voted for
St. John. Blalne would have carried New
York by as decisive a majority as Gen. Gar
field did. Senator Tburman would have
been a far stronger man than Gov. Cleve
land. He would bare escaped the local an
tagonisms which any governor of New York
who does his duty is sure to arouse, and be
would have secured a Democratic victory in
Ohio in October.
As a consequence the success of the Dem.
ocratic party over the stronest man in the
Republican ranks, aided by the entire pat
ronage of . the government, and the lavish
contributions of millionaire monopolist?, be
comes a victory of immense proportions,
though secured by a margin alarmingly j
narrow.
The Republicans have no occasion for self
reproaches. They can feel that If they could
not have won unner the circumstances as
existed they could not have won under any i
other. They would have encountered still j
greater obstacles by any change of 'candidate
or policy, and they should accept the inevi- j
table with good grace and four years hence
pick their flint and try again.

EVENING 9ES.SIOX.
Dr. Bridcman of Hatnline university, pre
siding, opened the session by statiug that
this was the year of the centennial of the M.
E. church, and that in the cause of higher
education measures should be taken for the
betU-i endowmeut of its educational insti
tutions. The church now has 144 semina
ries, 1,300 teachers, 2C,300 students and its
property of this character is valued at $70,
--500,000 Edward Everett said that this
church bad done more for higher education
in this Republic than any other society in
it. The church of Christ must mould
the future of this land, and to do this culture,
scholarship, akiil and science must go hand
in hand with the gospel.
THE CRCKCH AND EDCCATIOS. '
Rev. F. 0- Ilolman in opening his remarks
cited the Budbist catechism, the HeUen
prophet and the worde of Jesus himself, to
show that the necessity of the human race
was knowledge and that the secret of human
mu<ry was ignorance. The relation of the
church to tbe schools was defined that
church was a school
and every school a church. The tir^t
Cbislian seminary ever established was that
of the twelve disciples witb tbe Lord for their
teacher and bis command to them was "go j
teach all nations.'* Tbe church was tbe
teacher of the world and It had been the invat
friend of education tl.n.uirh all apes It bad
tautiit God, duty and destiny — the develop
meut of the human soul and bow to live. It ■
b»d taught philosophy to find out the mind
arts and KiracM to try and un- :
dersUnd bis purposes and the form and pur
pose of the intiuite as it is about ua. Tbe
time would come when some men would
arise to reform the puhlic schools in wbicb
everything cisc is taught but righteousness.
Ttic subject of the relation of the church
to the college was Very ably handled. There
came a time in the liid of every young man
of intelligence in which his faith wavervd
1 and be was filled with doubt and distrust of '•
those truths which he bad been trained up to
believe in the ataospben of horne — a,
period of skepticism. This came upon him
about college time, when his ideas changed,
and new questions and thoughts su^r.
- :ves. It was tne period in which he
! cast off hid swadd tin z clothe*, burst bis shell,
and txtan to think lor bin:self. Kitrht here
j came in the importance of a religious school
lor college. At tins time he should be
; given for bis teacher* men who bad mastered
1 these doultts which surr-untted him, masters
! of science and men of God, who in tbe stutly
I of philosophy and srit-t.ee could point him
, to the underlyine footprints of the Creator
i and expain to him bow deeper than tbe mys
tery of life is that of tbe omnipotent, show
him God everywhere on the green earth and
in the vaulted" sky. and point him out tLe
stairway of faith which leads to tbe IhfOße.
It was tbe province of tde church to in
spire the school with a throhbius: piety and
of the school to teach the church a pious in
tellitence. TLe jiSMlilities for this new
century are vast for humanity
and for the I iugdom of Christ, and the
gxiden key of these possibilities is intelli
gence.
THE METHODIST RECORD IX EDUCATION.
Rev. F. M. Rale, of Northfield, remarked
on the hard job of crowding the mammoth !
record of the chun'j in tiiis particular for
100 years into twenty minutes of time, and
then proceeded to a masterly array of statis- |
lid! information classified into three periods
of time.
The first period was from tbe formation of
the church in 1754, where for thirty-five
years it had but one college which wm
burned, followed by one academy which
met the same fafe*, and for tweniy
tbree years after the last fire bad no college
or seminary of any kind, which were tbe
dark days of MetboQi«tism in this land.
The second period was from IS2O to 1866
in which n<w hope and life grew up in the
church and at the close of the latter year tbe
church bad seventy-three seminaries,twenty
tbree universities, two bible institutes, 714
teachers and 33.106 students. At the close
of tbts period $3,000,000 of money were con
secrated to the cauae of higher education by
tbe church.
The Uird j er.od waa i«mi.iar to all coming
up frora.lS66 to ISS4, and now the church
bad 144 colleges and seminaries with 1.319
teachers, 26,453 students and $7, 500, 000 of
property. These had traiurd 405,000 youths
and sent them oat into the world and in this j
great work the church »m oat of the wilder- '
ness and into the bright sunlight, and
its work would sweep through \
all coming time until the world as a spotless i
Jewel should be laid at the feet of the Lord '
Jesus Christ. '
HISTOUT Or HAM!. INK CSIVE2SITT.
Rev. Wm. McKtnley, of Red Wing, then
gave a very interesting earlier history of this
university, whose charter was altered on the j
application of Rev. David Brooks to Wra. P. !
Murray, Esq., who managed Us passage
through the territorial legislature of 1553—4.
To Mr. Murray also br longed the honor of
naming: the institution "Hamlinc," knowing
that the distinguished bishop of that name
cotitetnplatt-d leaving his fortune for the
founding of such institutions iv the north
west, which Bi.-oop afterwards gave it $35,
--000 in city property in N- » fork and Chi
cago. charter 'designated that it should
be located somewhere bt-twt-tn St. Anthony
Fulls and LaKe Pi pin. and the river being
the liveliest channel of travel in the state it
was located at R.d Wins tarough the influ- i
ence of William Freeborn. Its first board of I
trustee* were A. Ramsey, W. A. Gorman,
M. Sorrel, Parker Payne, J. Hewes, C Her
bert, J. Bidwell and B. F. Hurt. The school
was opened at Bed Wing November, 1554,
with Dr. Brooks as its first president, who
was succeeded by Rev. B. F. Crary In
1875, who tilled the office " to
1861. when h • went to the war
as. Chaplain in a Minnesota regiment. An
interesting history of tut- financial crash of
1557, and its ruin. rfiVctJ upon 'he insti
tutions and the final rh*e at Red Wing was ;
given, though aftrrwards the institution paid
all its debts, except '..> some of its teachers,
who disrouutt-d half their salarirs. To pay
its debts the New York property left the uni
versity was sold for $10,000, which property
is now worth 81.000.000, and the Chicago
property would have bees sold if the bishop
had not fixed it so ttiat it could not be. SaiJ
Mr. Kinley, "We were up to our ears in
means," and he gave an anecdote where
three of the teachers were so poor that they
divided * sack ot flour between them after
dark for board for in. ir families.
He closed with a noble tribute to those
who secured their education at Haaaiiaa and
Red Win::, whicn was the only school in
Miunesota where the classes weie taught in
the eleven years of the state's history, and
the work they bad made In the world. They
went there for an education under poverty
and privation and passed live examinations.
It was a- much of a delusion that great and
wealthy institutions make great men, us that
a great city makes big men of those who live
in it. The Methodist church of Minnesota
had always be.-n liberal toward BaasHa and
as th* institution originated with St. Paul
men, and three of its trustees were members
of the Jackson utreet M. E. church, It 6hould
be particularly upheld by its citizens.
Oils PRESENT ; tt.
The meeting came to a elm.- with some
earnest words by R v. Mr. Forbes, of the
Jackson street church, in regard to the- duty
of Methodists to contribute means of support :
and sena students to the lUtuliu uui
verslty. %

OUR CATTLE GROWERS.
The Committees Not Being Ready to
Report an Adjournment is Taken
Until This Morning.
St. Loui3, Mo., Nov. 18.— The second
day's session of the national convent of

citizens executive committee of St. Louis
had invite. the delegates to a grand prome
nade concert this evening at the Merchants
exchanca. Hon. John Finn was appointed
sergeant-at-arius.

of the members of the committees on cre
dentials, permanent organization, and reso
lutions, consisting of one delegate from

tion, and from each State and territory,
numbering in all over 100 to each com
mittee. The convention then took a recess
to 3 p. m. to give all committees time to do
their work.
The most fruitful cause of the discussion
thus far developed In the convention la the
basis of representation. It is thought now
by many the action was ill considered and
apt to result in much debate and bad feeling,
and Cary. of Wyoming, said this afternoon
he represented not only an association on
the or, but the largest in the world, the
Wyoming Cattle association, representing
20.000,000 head of cattle.
On reassembling the convention at 3 p. m.
Mr. Harris, of Montana, announced the com
mittee of credentials wat not ready to report.

chairman; Gen. Curtis, of New York, first
vice president, and one vice president from
each rtate and territory represented, and
Major A. F. Atwater, ot St. Paul, for secre
tary. The committees on credentials and
resolutions will be ready to report at the
opening of the morning session, and it is ex
pected no further delay will occur to the bus

Lynch, from a window, recognized Felix
Woods, aged eighteen, Anton Dickcnscn,
nineteen, and Michael Nash eighteen, all
three being known to her as desperate char
acters, and she refused to open the door. As
they persisted she called her husband. The
old man was speedily overpowered and bru
