The Kind of EeDsOcrat L0chren Is.
MINNEAPOLIS Mirror,

The GLOBE thinks that people who live in
glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and
gives its readers an insight into the charac-
teristics of one of the "prominent Demo-
crats'' Of Minneapolis.
Here follows an extract from the GLOBE.
The Mirror supplements the above with
the statement that were it not for Bill Loeb
rem and few others of the same stripe,
Minneapolis would to-day be Democratic
city-as reliably so as st. Paul. Three
years ago he went out of a Democratic con-
vention into Republican ratification meet
ing, where he made speech; the
Republicans won and MIR. Lochren
was rewarded for his treachsry by
being elected city attorney, defeating E. NJ.
Wilson, who is Democrat every day i'll the
year. The next year he tried the same tao
tics and again wen. In the fall ne managed
to become the chairman of the county COM
mittee, and bolted Donnelly, whereupon it
became evident to the candidates on
the county ticket that they would
be buried if he remained
there. 1.-THE workingmen calling the ticket
Bill Lochren's ticket and candidates sac
cordingly asked him to retire, but he begged
to be allowed to Stick in fact he declared
he would not retire." 1T was in vain that
the interests of the party we're
urged; he was insxorable." The re-
suit was that the best Democratic
ticket ever placed in the feld-the success
of many of the candidates being conceded
by the Republicans when the nominations
was made-were defeated by unprecedented
majorities. LAST spring he again applied
for his reward i'll the shape of re-elec-
ton by Republican votes as city
attorney. The Democratic aldermen,
however, were equal to the emergency, and
finding that they could not elect square
toed Democrat, defeated the renegade by
centering upon Col. Benton, consistent
Republican. And this Bill Lochren is the
'.loyal Democrat" who is now at Washing
ton, endeavor1ng to fix things for Washburn.
Donnelly may have trimmed ship too
often, but is political saint when compared
to Washburn.

RAMPANT RUFFIANISM.

DastardIy Attempt of Kearney to Incite
Riot and Bloodshed In San Francisco -
Firing the workingmen's Hearts With
Cunning,y Devised Appe.'s to Passion.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 25.-The board of
supervisors, last evening, passed an ordi-
nance to increase the police force to 400
men. The ostensible reason was for the pur-
pose of giving employment to needy men.
At a meeting of the Eleventh ward club of
workingmen, resolutions were adopted
promising that there was an attempt to be
made to prevent the condemnation of China
town, and that being law abiding citizens
they would defend with their lives the en-
forcement of the law, and offer thousand
armed men to aid the government in carry
ing out its provisions.
Speaking to this resolution, Kearney
said he had been informed from reliable
sources that a secret movement is on foot to
crush the anti Chinese crusade, the Chinese
six companies and some of the merchants
being the agitators, and the police depart
ment and national guards the
tools. That the enemies of
the workingmen were to inaugurate
trouble by starting fire or row, then Kesr
ney and the mayor were TO be assassinated
by policemen in disguise of Chinese high
landers, and Chinese armed to the teeth
were to bs let loose TO massacre men, women
and children, selecting the laboring popula-
ton only as their victims. Regarding the
case now before the United States circuit
court involving the constitutionalty of the
law forbidding corporations to employ
Chinese he would accept no decision but
that Of the people, and they say 'the Chi
nese must co." He would leave list of
names of persons who must be guilotined IN
case he was assassinated, as his assassina-
ton would be blow at every working man
and woman in the civilized world.
He announced that tomorrow the mayor
and workingmen city officials would meet at
the headquarters of the party. Purpose not
stated.
Unemployed workingmen yesterday wait
ed upon Alex. Sharon, of the Palace hotel,
who declined to allow their interference
with his business. The leaders of the move
ment informed thu crowd of the result and
added that in their opinion it was no harm
to kill such a man. Mrs Smith, who has
been prominent in the movement, lately sug-
gested dynamite as means of removing the
Chinatown nuisance. Parades will be con-
tinued during the day, unemployed women
going in the ranks.

METROPOLITAN THEATFR.

Augustine Days grand drama of "Grif-
fifth Gaunt" was repeated at the metropolitan
last evening" with even greater success than
on the opening night. The audience was
enthusiastic, and well they might be, for the
play is one of the finest of that class yet
produced here. The cast is an unusually
large one, yet that DOES not, as in many
cases, detract from tie effect of the leading
parts. His play abounds in strong dramatic
situations, and splendid opportunity is at
forded for scenic effects, that Manager Muir
rag does not neglect. The play is announced
for q third performance this evening, and all
lovers of really good dramatic entertain
ments should rally at the Metropolitan this
evening.
