Messrs. Bell, Pottgieser and Lienau, Sue.
cessful Candidates at Tuesdays Election
serenaded and Congratulated.
1t is well to celebrate battle fought and
won. At least so seemed to think the young
Tuesdays election in the city was not all that
was desired or expected, the younger wing Of
the party felt that in the election of R. W
Bell to the Office of clerk of the court, they
had gained victory of which they had reason
to be proud. By their efforts he
had secured the nomination over strong op-
position, and by their efforts he had been
elected by one of the most complimentary
votes ever givena candidate for Office IN the
city.
To testify their appreciation of this victory,
some one hundred of Mr.. Bells most enthusi-
astic workers met at Mr.. Leyh's place, Wa
bashaw street, little after o'clock last
evening, and with band, proceeded to the resi-
dence of Mr.. John Bell, $50, Minnesota street,
tie proudest fathers in st. Paul at this time.
Arriving in front of the residence the band
gave patriotic air, at the conclusion of which
three cheers with a tiger were given, in re-
Spouse to which Mr.. Bell made his
appearance, when Capt. Wood in few
words, rendered him the congratulations of
himself and companions, then swelled to a
hundred or more, to " hich Mr.. Bell responded
most happily, concluding with pledge that
he would earnestly ard faithfully discharge
the duties of the office to which he had been
then invited inside the house, where a
bountiful collation. had been spread,
over which the happy father pre-
pvesided with a royal hospitality. Then fol-
lowed a general love feast, in which hands
were shaken, congratulations extended, and
short speeches made by Mr.. Bell, senior, J. g.
Donnelly, D. O'Connor and others.
The line of march was then reformed, and
a visit made to the residence of Nichlas Pott-
resentative of the young Democracy, and
elected county commissioner, where there
were more congratulations, speech
making, etc. From here the party
marched to the residence of Mr.. G. Fl. Lenau,
in the Sixth ward, elected to the Office of reg
lister of deeds. Music and cheers brought
this gentleman to the front, when he was in
troduced by John Ahern, who said that the
young Democrats of st. Paul came to tender
him their congratulations upon his splendid
victory, and to assure him that
in their part iE the achievement of that result.
Mr.. Lienau responded by thanking them for the
courtesy and good feeling manifested in their
coming two miles in the mud TO see him, and
regretting that the utter surprise it was to
him prevented his inviting them in or suitably
RECALLING them. He assured them that to the
young men must the labor of the party be del
egated, and that if they always stood as firm
together as they had done on this last election,
victory was always certain. The minors oil
the past few days to the effect that he and Bell
were cutting each others throats was refuted
by the result in their wards and was proved a
SANDER. After shaking hands and wishing
him a pleasant goodnight the party withdrew,
which ended the EVENINGS glorification.
