THE ALDERM4NIC TICKETS.
Six aldermen are to be elected next Tues
day, to fill vacancies which occur in the
second precincts of the several wards. The
Democrats have made an excellent selection
of candidates for these places, and the public
interests will be cared for by the election Of
the entire ticket.
In the second precinct of the Third Ward
John Dowlan is the nominee. He is a mem
Der of the present council, and faithful and
Jealous in protecting public interests If he
commits any error it is in being too ex-
acting on behalf of the public. This, how
ever, is a very safe error. He is a
large taxpayer, familiar with the city's
interests, and should be returned. His op-
ponent is man who is comparative
stranger in the city, with no interests to iden-
tify himself with St. Paul.
In the second precinct of the Second ward
the Democratic nominee is Norman w. Kit
son. Mr.. Kittson is one of the pioneers of
this country. He came here when st. Paul
was only an Indian trading post, and has
actually seen every building erected which
now stands in st. Paul. 1t is forty seven years
almost half a century since Mr.. Kittson
came to Minnesota, and twentyone years
ago he served as Mayor of St..
Paul. During all this time no touch of cal
umny has reached him, and he ranks as a
man of the strictest integrity. It is COM
pllment to the city that he will consent to
serve in the council. His opponent is a
young man who is employed as engineer at
the capital. He is clever young gentleman
who was not born until quarter of centu-
ry after Mr.. Kittson came here. He has no
property interests in st. Paul, no experience
in our affairs, and is in every way disquali-
ed for tie position. We are surprised that
he has not resigned in Mr.. Kittson's favor.
The voters of the second precinct of the
Second ward should pass him by and make
the vote for Kittson unanimous.
In the second precinct of the Third ward
Mat Breen is the Democratic nominee. He
is an old resident of the city and ward, a
large taxpayer and an exceedingly competent
gentleman. Though he has not been in
public life, he has always taken an active
and lively interest in our local affairs. His
character for integrity is above suspicion
and he will make vigilant guardian of the
public interests in the council. His oppo-
nent has been resident of St. Paul but a
few years. and has never been known to take
the slightest interest in the city or our local
affairs He was nominated simply to fill
out the ticket and with no expectation of
an election.
In the Fourth Ward, Pascal Smith, the
present incumbent, is on both tickets.
In the second precinct of the Fifth Ward
Thomas Brennan is the Democratic nomi-
nee. He is one of the best men in the CITY,
and as an alderman, will prove faithful and
reliable, The Duluth road, CT which he is
now assistant superintendent, was built un-
der his supervision. He is most thoroughly
interested in St. Paul, and as he previously
served for three years in the council will not
enter upon new field. The Fifth Ward
should give Tom Brennan bumper.
In the Sixth ward Aid. J. G. MCCARTHY is
candidate for reelection. No man in the
Sixth Ward has done so much to build ur
that locality as Mr.. Mccarthy. In season
and out of season he has labored for his
ward, and the greater the obstacle the more
vigorously he pursued his aim. Both in the
council and the legislature he has proven eff.
fcient and faithful, and in the last legisla
ture, though not member, he secured legis
lation for the ward which no other mar
could have obtained. He was enabled to de-
this because he stood in the council as the
representative of that ward. Every propert,
owner in the Sixth ward is interested in re
tanning Aid. Mccarthy. The only troubl.
he has with his brother aldermen is that b.
secures so much for his ward that it is bette
cared for than any other portion of the city
when the number of the population is con
sidered. A vote against him is vot
against the interests of the ward.
The whole ticket is worthy O
cordial support, and we expect to see tn
entire Democratic Aldermanic ticket tri
umphantly elected.
