Bine hep. The Lieutenant Governor Pulls Out of the Third District Fight, Leaving Capt. Reed and Maj. Strait in Possession of the Field, Though Joel Heatwole and Others May Bob Up Later On. Latest Figures Indicate That Strait Will Be the Nominee.

A Pretty General Belief That Capt. Reed Couldn't Be Elected. Goodhue County Making- Careful Preparations to Knife Gov. McGill. Special to the Globe.

Red Wing, June The Goodhue county delegation to to-morrow's convention from the start has been rather unfavorable to Reed. One part of the delegation has done all that it could to boom Strait, and another, headed by Frank Wilson, started a song for A. E. Rice. The Rice tune would have captured everybody but for one con- sent to the use of his name had not been secured.

Still it was hoped that he would see the point and accept. But yesterday afternoon a letter was received from Willm a r. 1 1 a from Mr. Rice, written by his wife. He is sick, and declines to be a congress i on a 1 candidate under any circumstances.

This at once removed him from the contest and narrowed it down to Reed and Strait. Why Rice declined is not all a matter of conjecture. His railroad record has been under close investigation of late, and facts discovered that placed the lieutenant governor in an unpleasant light. Indeed, those that I learned of here were so startling that I think if he had accepted he could have been beaten. I have in the past given him the credit of being stronger than Strait, but my mind is decidedly changed.

It would be a very unhealthy year for Mr. Rice to run for congress in this district. MAJOR STRAIT, The Ex-Congressman Who Once Ruled the Third. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, June Six hours' residence in Red Wing convinces me the Machiavelli of the Third congressional district is Horace B.

Strait while those who have opposed or bin' dered his way are placed in the tion of the dyspeptic hero of Locksley Hall, ever crying: "Oh, my cousin, shallow-hearted Oh, my Amy, mine no more." lie has made and unmade the Republican party of the Third district, coddled and destroyed ambitions, kissed and betrayed. This is not on my own say-so. I am only quoting the innermost thoughts of Cant. Reed, perhaps, or B.B. Herbert.

met Herbert morning as 1 came up from the train. lie has given up his Minneseta political ambitions, and thinks of settling in Indianapolis. For a man who was nominated for congress, only with the intention of defeating him, he looks happy, talks so, and is apparently just contented as though he were making history for congressional record. While there was never a show at any time for Herbert's election, it has become a settled opinion in the minds of many that treachery helped to swell the majority against him. And the Herburt men do not hesitate to say so.

They look with askant eye on Reed and Strait and their charges against these two are of the broadest nature. But to return to MAJ. STRAIT. Goodhue county once in the long ago had a political machine. It was a great big machine, with innumerable wheels within wheels, that in their circumferance included the surveyor general and other federal officers, and for spokes had local postmasters, and other parasitic attachments.

The hub of the wheels in wheels was in Scott county, very close to the neighborhood of Maj. Strait's residence. Whatever circle it described, round went the spokes and tires and all the other wheels after it. It wag a seemingly invincible combination. In the congressional reapportionment of the state, the Third district had been kindly looked after by Strait.

It was arranged to suit his convenience. Look on the maps and you will see at a glance what an awkwardly arranged district it is. Good Democrats down here who have suffered from its arrangement call it a "SADDLE-RAG." It stretches across the state. On the east are heavy Republican counties. In the west strong Republican counties.

In the center the two or three solid Democratic counties, in the heart of which Strait resided. Thus fixed, he could cry 'The world is mine!" He did so for some twelve years. The east and the west bowed to him, and so did the Democratic center except that one time when llenry Pochler swept the field and went to Washington as a Democrat. Strait was very careful to attend to the wants of the district. Personal friends went into the postoffices.

and some got federal position s.They had only one duty to perform elect Strait." Campaign assessments were regular and fixed. Said an old land officer to me: "Five hundred dollars was what 1 had to contribute. One year 1 refused to. In three months I was removed from my office." The postal clerks were tenderly cared for. The railroad interests of the district arc importsnt.

The river division of the Milwaukee cuts down the eastern side. The Iowa Minnesota goes through the center or near it. The Hastings Dakota divides it north and south. The Manitoba is in west. Tiie Minneapolis St.

Louis passes through the Cannon valley. Their land grants were valuable. Unfavorable legislation was to be checked; congressmen friendly to their interests could count upon their support. Strait appreciated the situation. He became the strongest congressman in the state.

His power was absolute. I can remember when the Democrats held their district convention, in 1884, that in going out we passed a carload of beer. Some one asked who that was for. Inquiry revealed that it came to the section hands of the Hastings Dakota from the Republican candidate for congress. In the history of the state there never was a congressional district so thoroughly boss-ridden as the Third.

In 1882 and 18S4 signs of a revolt became apparent. Strait offended some Republicans and a good many began to think that he had been there long enough. In the last named year Albert Tmax, of Hastings, sought the Republican nomination as against Strait, but was defeated. In 1886 Strait quietly informed his friends that he would not be a candidate for renoniination, and in an indirect way hinted that Democratic success was to be expected. He stepped down and out.

The rest of the history you know how Herbert was nominated and then knifed and beaten, and now the last movement, an attempt by Gen. M. S. Chandler and other old friends of Strait to have him nominated in to-morrow's convention. STRAIT'S, IF HE WANTS IT.

Xht Man Once Repudiated to Be Given the Nomination. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, June Time works wondrous changes; none more strange, though, than when a great congressional district once repudiates a candidate for re-election to congress, after he has served an interminable length of time, deliberately turns tail two years later and gives him the honor so lately denied. This, unless I am sadly mistaken, will be the outcome of the Republican Third district congressional convention to-morrow. If none of his well-laid plans and cunning subterfuges miscarry Mai.

Horace Strait will, Thursday night, be a candidate for congress, made so by a convention cleverly filled with men who for years have been his obedient 'servants. Capt. Reed on his own claim will go into the convention with twenty-one, and possibly twenty-two votes. These, his friends assert, will come to him from these localities: Chpipewa, Dakota, (5; McLeod, Renville, Kandiyohi, 2. Reed is as positive as a man can be that he will be.

nominated, and he has accepted in good faith all of the statements of Maj. Strait that be is not a candidate. But it was Charley Espenscheid, of Hastings, who said a day or two ago that Dakota county was NOT SOLID FOR REED, and was liable to go to Strait. This statement is already partially confirmed, for two of the Dakota delegates have indicated their preference for Strait. This, then, gives to Strait, with what is already here and known to be for him: Dakota, Goodhue, Kandiyohi, Rice, Scott, 2.

Meeker county's six votes will be for C. II. Strobeck, if he remains a candidate, and Swift is pledged to D. S. Hall, who is a close personal friend of Strait's.

Deducting, then, the two votes of Dakota from Reed's claim the delegates stand to-night as follows: Reed 19, Strait 27. Hall 4, Strobeck 6. In this table seven votes of Goodhue county are omitted. The delegation is divided. Seven of its votes are reasonably sure for Strait.

The other seven will fall in line for him as soon as it is determined that the convention will nominate him, or he can without them by getting the ton votes of Hall and Strobeck, which are his the moment he asks for them, and be nominated. What could better indicate the drift of sentiment than the fact that B. B. Herbert, who owes nothing to Strait, says to-night that ho is the most available and strongest candidate the party can name. Maj.

Strait is here HE BLUSHES LIKE A PEONY every time his candidacy is mentioned and denies in toto all office-seeking ambitious. But there is a lurking laugh in his voice whenever he speaks of Capt. Reed as the only candidate before the convention, and he suspiciously buttonholes every delegate or friend from abroad whom it might be to his interest to see. It is in the air that Strait is to be nominated to-morrow. His organization is on the ground.

His plan arranged, he has a majority of the votes, and it will be his own fault if he does not get there. 1 asked the major what he was doing in his own interests, at which he shook his head and appealed to Wilson, of Shakopee, for confirmation of his statement that he had not gone to a delegation for support. Then he called on Frank Wilson, of Goodhue, who has been represented as anti-Strait. All the satisfaction I got out of him was a small grumble atrainst Strait and an eulogy of Simmons, of Appleton, as a Scandinavian who could make a magnificent canvass. The only possible show for Reed's nomination lies in the anti-Strait delegates going over to him in a body.

This would give him, with his 19 votes, 7 from Goodhue, and barely enough scattering to nominate. What is forcing Strait's nomination besides the careful organization made for him is the poorly disguised belief that under no circumstances could Reed be elected. His empty sleeve and sturdy bearing win him sympathy, but no votes. Then, too, justly or unjustly, the reputation of having knifed both Strait and Herbert clings to him. and the old enmities are cherished.

There is a felling that he cannot unite the party, and that his nomination would perpetuate party bickerings. This, in many senses, is true. SABLE STEEDS. Dark Horses May Loom Up After All. Special to the Globe.

Red Wing, June While Reed and Strait on the surface are apparently the only two who will combat to-morrow, other possible candidates are announced in the persons of C. II. Strobeck, of Litchfield; ex-Senator Greenleaf, of the same place, and Joel Heatwole, whose name bobs up serenely in connection with any and every state or national office. Gen. Chandler would hardly refuse the nomination, either, if it came to him on a silver platter.

The candidacy of none of them is taken seriously, every one thinking that the choice must now be either Reed or Strait. The Goodhue men who were for Rice say now they will support Reed. This makes his show for the nomination more favorable. Reed was in Goodhue county some time ago and did one of those indiscreet things for which he is notorious. It was in the county convention and he got the floor.

What he had to say was that he had never betrayed Herbert. He desired those who accused him of doing so to come forward and face him, or forever hold their peace. Goodhue county Republicans don't appreciate such bluff talk. There are more courtly iu their manners than the west-enders, and Reed's remarks created antagonism where he might at least have had quasi friends. Should he be nominated his canvass will be a funny one.

lie is a SAINT PAUL, MINN. THURSSDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1888. man always in dead earnest, and not gifted with tact. He never gets his fett out of the fire but that he 1 lys his hands on the coals. As to political integrity he is given a better character than Strait or Rice, but he was never cut out for a congressman.

Fate has made him a candidate for these many years, but she will not elect him, and, maybe, not nominate. STROBECK AND HALL. Prospects of the Candidates Who Each Hold a County. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, June delegates here to-night are not an enthusiastic set of men.

The names of Harrison and Morton fall from their lips like pellets of lead. The expressions on the national platform, with few exceptions, are those of dissatisfaction. There is also a growing fear that McGill will be renominated, a result evidently not desired. 1 took a poll of twenty-eight delegates this nearly one-naif the total of the convention. The result was: For Merriam 8, Scheffer 6, Oilman 6, McGill 4, Braden 2, E.Rice 2.

In case Maj. Strait should be seized with a sudden fit of remorse and decide not to offer himself as a victim on the altar of his party, speculation as to his legatee is divided between H. S. Hall, of Renville, and C. H.

Strobeck, of Meeker. If Hall would say that he was a candidate he would jump into favor at once, and get more votes than those of Swift, which are pledged to him. Strait said to-day that if Strobeck were in the field he would be glad to help him. For chairman of the convention Wilson, of Goodhue; Wilson, of Scoti; Greenleaf, of Meeker, and Rhodes, of Dakota, are mentioned. In all probability the work of the convention will be ended by supper time to-morrow night.

A LITTLE MIXED. Claims and Counter Claims at a Late Hour. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, June William Biekel arrived on the evening train and Strait stock took another upward tendency. Biekel and Strait are friends of the olden time, and the presence of the genial St.

Paul banker was looked upon as a card for the Shakopee man. At 9 o'clock this evening the Reed men counted noses to see what their strength would be on the first ballot. Much to their surprise and delight they found twenty-seven delegates who were ready to be with them. This brings Reed within six votes of the nomination and his friends claim that the second or third ballot will nominate him. "Not by a jugful," shouted a Strait man who had overheard this claim.

"Reed will never get over twenty-seven votes. He will lose some on the second ballot, more on the third and then the convention ends with the nomination of Strait or Hall." C. P. Carpenter, of Farmington, claims Reed's certain nomination, as does also Dr, Dodge, but cold calculators doubt it. "Strait first, and if he can't get it, then Hall," is the cry in the corridors of the St.

James hotel, where the delegates are caucusing. Strait is reported as saying tonight: "I do not intend to force myself on the convention. If the nomination comes to me unanimously I will not refuse it, but I shall antagonize no candidate. Mr. Hall would be a very good selection and poll a good vote, as would also Mr.

Strobeck, but I am not here to precipitate any row or to mar the chances for Republican success." Hubbard Doesn't Want It. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, June The Goodhue delegation caucused to-night, but without agreeing on any one candidate. The report was started that the delegation would present the name of ex-Gov. Hubbard to the convention.

Of this Gen. Cross said: "Gov. Hubbard told me when he went East that under no circumstances could he accept the nomination if tendered him." ON GOVERNOR Goodhue County Has Her Usual Family Quarrel on Hand. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, June Internecine strife is a state of affairs under which Goodhue county Republicans flourish.

Their pet grievance now is Gov. McGill and the reform school. Red Wing will cherish forever the bitterest kind of resentment against him for the failure of the reform school to be located there. This one point alone would cause him to lose the delegation to the state convention. Gen.

Jennison has turned warrior and devotes his entire time to belaboring Mc- Gill through his paper. Jennison's hostility is so great that I would not be surprised to see him bolt the ticket if McGill conies out on top. Gen. Cross has made it appear at various times that the county was for Merriam, but this is untrue. They tell me here that the delegation will support Scheffer.

Albert has made a visit here and is quite popular among the Scandinavians. Among other curious political gossip 1 heard to-day was that Judge Ilea has said that he would like the Fourth district Republican nomination for congress, if he was not the commander of the G. A. R. Also, that Albert Scheffer said when here, that the Republican platform of Chicago was likely to cause Minnesota to go Democratic.

Furthermore, that Gen. Sanborn is a personal friend of Gen. Harrison's, and, that while he would support the nominees, he repudiated the platform. I struck some Democrats that want Knute Nelson nominated for governor by the Democrats, and then sent to the United States senate next winter. TO HANDICAP SPRECKLES.

The Trust Makes a Big Bluff at Brokers. Special to the Globe. New York, June Among sugar brokers along lower Wall street, the fact that the mammoth sugar trust has recently sent out a circular to the effect that after July 1, no commission will be paid to brokers who deal in any but trust sugar is not denied, but to a man they refuse to discuss the subject. The circular, it was learned, forbid any intercourse with out of town sugar people who handle the commodity manufactured in any but trust refineries. It is thought possible that the boycott was instituted in view of the approaching competition of Claus Spreckles' plan for an Eastern refinery.

TELEGRAPH IN PARAGRAPHS. The Prohibition state convention, in session at Syracuse, N. yesterday, adopted its platform aud decided upon an aggressive campaign. Fire at Fort Apache Monday destroyed the entire and commission supplies. The estimated loss to the government, including the buildings, is $100,000.

and James Law of Verndale, as candidates for the district judgeship. On an informal ballot, Holland received 18 and Law 5 votes. On a formal ballot, HOLLAND RECEIVED THE TOTAL twenty-three votes. A committee escorted him to the hall, and he was received with much applause, and responded in suitable terms accenting the nomination. The political complexion of the convention was, Republicans sixteen.

Duluth, June This city's excellent band was followed up and down the streets this evening by an immense placard announcing a grand Republican ratification meeting at the opera house, and finally, as the crowd became charmed by the music, it was led to the scene of the proposed festival. All the war horses were plnced on the stage to give the signal for applause, and Hon. J. D. Ensign was introduced as chairman.

He prefaced his remarks by allusion to "Old Tippecanoe," and when he mentioned the name of Gen. Chinese Harrison applause was given. Through some misunderstanding it failed to materialize, and the noise made by the half dozen hands that responded echoed drearily through the vast hall. Discouraged at this, the speaker introduced Col. W.

C. Plummer as orator of the evening. The doughty colonel, having seen all sides of every question, was competent to size up his audience, ami opened with one of the funny stories for which he is so noted. This pleased the audience, and there was an outburst of genuine enthusiasm. Following this vantage, the really gifted speaker wandered from one story to another and carried his audience with him.

At times he tried to start a little political enthusiasm, but the same two dozen hands alone awoke the echoes and he gave up in despair. His audience failed to enthuse at anything but his witticisms. If the first ratification of Duluth Republicans is to serve as an index of popular feeling, Harrison and Morton have none of the customary following in this vicinity. GENERAL DISGUST. Beloit's Anti Saloon Representatives Threaten to Bolt the Ticket.

Special to the Globe. Beloit, June Citizen, (independent), publishes to-night opinions of leading representatives in regard to the resolution adopted by the Chicago convention in regard to temperance. Almost all persons interviewed express disgust at the sop thrown to anti-saloon men, and there is a general tendency to bolt the ticket on account of the indecisive stand taken by the platform and resolutions. Boutelle's connection with them is considered of itself enough to throw much discredit on them. As there is a strong anti-saloon feeling in this region, the resolutions may cost the Republican party many votes.

ALL QUIET IN HOOSIERD03I. Rain Was the Most Potent Factor in Quelling Republican Exuberance. Special to the Globe. Indianapolis, June The: city has about resumed its normal condition after the great excitement arid demonstrations of the past two days. The rain, which has fallen steadily.

all; day aud until a late hour to-night, has; been the most potent factor in producing this result. Gen. Harrison spent" the day quietly at home, where he received calls from friends and neighbors. Many delegates from different parts of the country came in during the day and paid their respects. It had been arranged by war veterans of all parties to march to-night to the general's house, but on account of the weather it was decided to postpone the visit until next week.

FORAKER'S The Buckeye Governor Seems to Have Lost His Senses. Special to the Globe. Columbus, June The Republican clubs of Columbus had arranged to hold an immense meeting to-night to ratify the nomination of Harrison and Morton, but rain set in about the hour the parade was to be held and continuing in a steady pour almost completely interrupting the programme. Several clubs with reduced ranks paraded through the streets in defiance of the torrent that poured down and a large audience assembled in the rotunda Of the state house to listen to speeches of Gov. Foraker and State Attorney Watson.

The governor look occasion to again refer to his fidelityand that of the Ohio delegation to Senator Sherman at Chicago. He regarded the ticket selected as one of the strongest ever presented by the party, and predicted its election by an overwhelming majority. "We will sweep Grover Cleveland from the White house," he said, "and put a man of good moral character there." The remainder of his speech was devoted to the tariff question and a denunciation of the. bandana. THE APOLLINARIS It Puts a Full State Ticket in the Michigan Field.

Superior, June Another jail delivery, which nearly resulted in the destruction of the jail building by fire and the death of the nightwatchman, occurred last night about midnight. One of the three prisoners confined in the corridor cell asked the watchman to be allowed to step out for a minute, feigning to requite fresh air. The watchman consented, supposing the other prisoners in the cell to be asleep. The door was no sooner unlocked than the three men dashed out and overpowered the watchman, whom they beat into insensibility and gagged. They then attempted to set fire to the building by overturning an oil lamp, but the blaze was extinguished by a vag prisoner before much damage was done.

The men made their escape before the police could be alarmed, and as yet nothing has been heard of them. Their names are Spot, Murphy and White. The first named two are notorious criminals and were serving long terms for numerous crimes, and White had just been removed from Minnesota on a requisition and was serving out a term tor twice acting as accomplice in the delivery of prisoners from tha county jail. This is the third case of jail delivery within the. past month.

The nightwatchman did not receive serious injuries. HAS SHUT UP SHOP. A Coal Company the Latest Victim of Canada's Gigantic Monopoly. Special to the Globe. Winnipeg, June The fight between the Anthracite Coal company and the Canadian Pacific road continues.

The railway company refuses to give the coal company a guarantee of rates for five years as requested. It will only guarantee rates for one year. This the coal company claims prevents it making contracts with large firms for a period of years, as it is at the caprice of the railway company, and might be ruined by the raising of rates. The sult of the fight is that the coal company has ceased operations for the present, and will not turn out coal until some satisfactory arrangement is made. A.

Pogh, of St. Paul, is manager of the company and is here at present. SENT UP FOR LIFE. Murderer Thill's Permanent Address Is Stillwater Peniteutiary. Special to the Globe.
