Never before have the Democrats of
Minneapolis been united under so uniform
ly excellent ticket as the above.
The candidacy of A. I. Ankeny as
against the young man T. B. Bailey, the
Republican nominee, cannot fail to i'm
press every voter who has any knowledge
of the legal ability and peculiar fitness of
the gentleman for the position, with the
duty of casting his vote for Mr.. Ankeny
for judge of the municipal court. This
court now has, as is shown by the monthly
reports of the clerk of the court, a vast
| amount of both criminal and civil bust
ness brought before it each week, and the
city of Minneapolis can i'll afford to place
the judicial power in incompetent hands.
The second place upon the Democratic
! ticket, for special Judge, is occupied by the
name of Stephen Mahoney, an attorney
who has practically grown up with the city.
| He graduated at our state university at the
| head of his class with the highest hOnors,
! and enjoys the unlimited confidence and
respect of all the members of the Hennepin
| county bar, and will receive
many of the Republican votes of that as
ISOLATION, because of his being 100 per
cent more capable and deserving than
either of the other two candidates for the
same position. There seems little doubt
of his election tomorrow.
For city treasurer the Democrats have
renomiRated 7. J. Buxton, "tried and true"
who has filled the Office for three consecu-
tive terms. He is gentleman Of wealth,
and of more than usual responsibility, and
Will continue to take care of the city's
funds, with the reliability and accuracy of
accounts, as in the past. No one wishes to
see the money Of the city pass into the
hands of q novice, as is Mr.. Slosson, the
Republican candidate.
For members of the board of education
the Democrats have simply renominated
the members whose terms expire this
spring, Prof. Oftedal and ]. W. Johnson,
neither of whom are Democrats, but may
safely be called noa-partisan.
John T. Lee, for alderman of the First,
has an easy walkeway. He is popular and
capable, having had considerable and val
liable legislative experience in tbs East.
He is blacksmith, and consequently Ia
boring man, and q man who has the I'M
qualified sympathy, respect and confidence
of the laboring men of his ward.
In the Second ward the democrats have
no nomination. The two candidates are
Alderman NJ. w. Barrows, the peoples
candidate, and e. M. johnson, the third
party candidate. Mr.. Barrows is the de
serving man and will doubtless receive a
majority of the votes of the ward. He has
! for some time represented the ward IN the
city council, and not ono Of his censtitu-
ents can say he has bsen unfaithful to
| his trust.
In the Third ward we have n triangular
| fight on the aldermanic ticket. Tho Pro-
hibitionists nominated H. n. Leighton
and then captured the Republican pri-
maries to the extent that leighton was
endorsed.
Then came Mr.. JillysoH in a card an
nouncing himself rs an independent car
didate. The Democrats exercised unusual
good sense and discretion III placing in
nomination practical man Of the people,
Chas. G. Hashow, who has lived In the ward
for a long term OF years and who Is ex-
ceptionally well qualified 10 represent tine
interests of the masses in our city council.
This is a Democratic ward and NO Demo
crat can afford to lose the opportunity of
| aiding in Mr.. Hashow's election.
In the Fourth ward we have a particU
| larry bright and intelligent gentleman as
a candidate, in the person OF Edward b.
Clement, the only son Of tbs late respected
citizen and pioneer Demccrat-a Demo
crat of Jacksonian stripe-Capt. A. A.
Clement, and Ed. is a ''chip of the old
| block" The political phase of the ward
! is decidedly complicated. Jake Barge, as
IS we'll known, was candidate tor Repub-
lican nomination. The csucuses were
packed and Jake WAS ''downed' and
Greenleaf nominated. Jake came out in
card announcing himself an independent
candidate. Afterwards he concluded to
wait until next spring to make his
little fight and consequently withdrew.
The very men who put up the job on him
and defeated him in the primaries then
| cheekily announced him as the true sup
porter of the aesthetic Greenleaf, but Jake
says MS SLOH1dcn Is IOO WSah W SLctAO SuSu
nauseating dose, and consequently Is do
| ing his level best against the wicked CON-
bination. The Prohibition standard bear
er is Mr.. Williams, good man.
| The Fifth ward situation is sort of cut
and dried affair. Geo. A. Pillsbury, the
present incumbent, was nominated by the
Prohibitionists after having secured his
pledge to work for an exceedingly high Ii
| censs in event of his election. Then the
Republicans endorsed aim upon practi
calIy the same platform. The Democrats
| in caucus nominated Edward McDermott
as representative of the Democracy and
the laboring men of the ward, and his old
friends who elected him TO the state legis-
lature few years ago are again snthusi-
astically rallying around him. and have
great hope of victory.
Now we come 20 the "bloody Sixth"
ward. Our standard bearer is the staunch
| veteran, Hon. Matthew Walsh, the present
president of the city council, and better
man for the position never filled an alder
mans chair in our council. The opposi
| ton cry, "Givs as representative in the
lower part of the ward,' is the only argu
msnt against Mr.. Walshs candidacy.
! There never was more nonsensicsl issue
raised in a ward campaign. Not one citizen
