THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.


Be Elected.
The Democratic party in Hennepin coun-
ty in selecting candidates for the various
Offices to be filled this fall, did not fail in a
single instance of bringing its best men to
the front. At this election, if never before
there is no reason why the party should not
present an unbroken front-a solid phalanx
against the Republicans; and neither
is there any good reason why
the entire ticket should not be elected-that
is, with proper effort, and reasonable
amount Of Cancellation toward the National
Greenback ticket, which is partner in the
main issues which are presented to the pub
| lie for their endorsement.
| The Office of sheriff is one of the most i'm
portant and lucrative in the gift of the peo-
pie of the county. For this position s'old
settler" Mace Eustis was nominated, after
one of the most stubborn contests ever
waged in the political arena in Hennepin
[ county. Mr.. Eustis has resided in Minneap-
oils for more than twenty years, and during
| that time has managed to SO endear himself
to all who have formed his acquaintance that
he probably stands without a peer for per-
sonal popularity in the city. While emf
nently capable of discharging the duties of
| much more exalted position, it is the only
public Office to which Mr.. Eustis has ever
| aspired, and the unanimity with which the
nomination was conferred upon him proves
how gladly the party which has always re-
ceived his support now comes to his aid
when he asks them to. His opponent on toe
Republican ticket is kind hearted and
pleasant gentleman, and has made good Of
fcer, but will consider it no disgrace to
clay down his bundle' before a gentleman
of the acknowledged popularity of honest
old Mace Eustis. Mr.. Cramsie, of the Ma
tionals, is equally honest and capable, and it
yet seems to the GLOBE that there should be
the name of but one of these gentlemen be-
matters, and not play the part of the boy in
this important canvass.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
A. T. Ankeny has lived in Minneapolis
about eight years, but that has been abund-
antly long enough for him to gain the re-
cognition of all classes as heightened,
honorable and capable gentleman.
y
has been mentioned for almost
every position of trust and emolument in
the gift of the people, but never until this
fall could his consent be gained to become a
candidate. This time he would have de-
clined, had not the nomination been pressed
so strenuously and with such positive unani-
nifty that it was placed out of his power to
refuse. He was cordially endorsed by the
Nationals, which places his election almost
beyond a peradventure. The Republican
nominee Charley Robinson) is negatively
good fellow enough, but with anything like
a full vote his defeat is assured.
COUNTY AUDITOR.
During four years past the in
cumbent of this Office has been
Democrat, Captain Black, present
Democratic candidate for State auditory and
as the Office has been we'll managed the
public will hesitate sometime before making
change of parties. Scion Armstrong is
the Democratic nominee, and after more
than quarter of century's residence at
the Falls of st. Anthony it would be queer
if he had not made sufficient number of
friends to elect him. Mr.. Armstrong was
member of the old city council of st. An
thony before the union, was for years the eff
fcient city clerk of that city; and after the
union was twice chosen to represent the old
Third ward in the council, serving
three years as president of
that body. Honest, capable and popular, it
will be queer state of affairs if he should
fail to take the political scalp of Frank Nc
Donald.
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
James w. Lawrence has been county at
torney for four years past, and has discharged
every duty imposed upon him with ability,
fidelity, and promptness. He is one of the
rising young lawyers of the State, and the
people like his style so we'll that they have
determined he shall not yet be placed upon
the retired list. Mr.. Lawrence was elected
for his first term over Hon. j. B. Gilfillan,
and two years ago triumphantly scooped''
D. w. Albaugh. This year W. E. Hale will
hear something drop while James will walk
quietly by and continue to discharge the
duties of county attorney. He will probably
be endorsed by the Nationals.
COUNTY SURVEYOR.
Mr.. Gardner Stevens is a son of our old
friend, and everybody's friend, Col. John
d. Stevens. He is a young gentleman, "a
years OF age, ana has received a most excel
lent education in public schools and at
Bishop Whipple's academy at Faribault. 1t
is no discredit to him that he happened to
be born in this city, and when the day of
election comes it will be found that Gardner
will give the lie to the Scripture text, "a
prophet is not without honor save
in his own country tsrhe boys''
especially, will rally under the standard of
the young men, and insist that one of their
number shall have chance At present
Mr.. Stevens is an efficient assistant in the
city engineers Office in this city.
DR.. Damn was again nominated for this
responsible position, and deserves to be
elected. In point of ability he is infinitely
superior to his Republican opponent, being
physician of good practice and the finest
practical chemist in the State. Beside that,
the doctor is modest, unassuming, honest
and upright gentleman, and deserves to be
elected because Ct these qualities. He is
Swede by birth, and our Scandinavian citi-
zens should rally about him with one accord
and honor him by electing him to the po-
sition. t
In q day or two the GLOBE will give rea-
sons why the National and Democratic lepis-
