A. E. RICE GONE OVER.

There is now no longer any doubt
but what A. E. Rice, of Willmar, has
rolled himself over into the Democrat
ic party. Mr.. Rice has for years been
trying to form third party, himself
at the head, with the democratic and
republican Scandinavians, then to go
republican or democratic, just as inter-
est and the offer of office to him and
Others might dictate, Whenever he
has been refused anything he has
wanted, he has sulked, and threatened
to take his friends and go where he
could have what he wanted, and he is
now there in the lap of the democracy
but it remains to be seen if he gets
anything more than he received when
Il republican. He had rounded up his
corporosity for the, nomination of
Lieut.. Governor on the republican
ticket, but Gilman came in too far
ahead, and he lost it; and hence his
degree of madness and his support Of
the democratic ticket through the
campaign. Mr.. Rice had counted
quite heavily upon the company of his
former friend, J. w. Arctander, but
Arctander could not see it in that light.
These two in fact fell out at the last
state convention; Rice wanted the
nomination for Lieut.. Governor, and
4 70 fnr
nomination of Attorney General two
years from now, and Arctander did
not think two state officers would be
tolerated from the same town, and it
is said he did all he could to prevent
the nomination of Mr.. Rice, to keep
his own track clear of serious Ohjec-
ton at the next turn of the wheel.
Here, upon this rock, these two men
broke asunder, and Rice through spite
went over to the democracy, and Are
tander through love of party and the
future prospects of being Attorney
General, remained where lie was. Mr..
Rice entered into politics about in 1876,
in kandiyohi county, was elected to
the state senate in tile fall of that year,
his term commencing in January, 1877,
and has held the office for seven years
and some three years yet to serve; and
was not, at the commencement of his
political career in that county, worth
more than about two thousand dollars,
and he has so managed things for him.
self since that time that he is worth
over thirty thousand dollars. From
this it can be seen that he has not
worked himself poor for the benefit OF
| his party, which could not make him
Lieut.. Governor. The trouble with
this man, who is sharp and shrewed
is, that he has had his own way toe
much, he has been petted and spoilt
He has always worked for Rice, and
those who would remember Rice the
longest and best, and here his work
began and ended.

The contest last Tuesday, for state
officers, was a peculiar one. Bier
mann, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, was nominated on account
of his nationality, the Democratic
leaders taking it for granted that they
could hold all the Democratic support
for him, and that he would gain a
great many Republican votes. Then,
too, the Prohibitionists had ticket in
the field, which would naturally cause
diminution of Republican strength.
Taking these things into consideration
it was impossible to foretell the result
with any degree of certainty. Many
men of considerable political foresight
confidently expected Bierman to be
elected. But these causes figured less
extensively than was anticipated.
The great body of Scandinavians have
proven true to their party and thus to
a great extent have indicated them
selves from the often repeated charge
of clanishness. The vote of the Pro-
hibitionists was so small as to be hard
ly worthy of consideration; while the
great majority of Republicans, with
many Democrats, recognizing Gov.
Hubbard!s eminent fitness for the po-
sltion he now holds, have given him
their votes, knowing that he is worthy
of them, and have elected him for
three years Of additional service. Con-
sidering the many and varied efforts
made to defeat him, his majority is
quite remarkable. No determined
fight was made against others upon
the ticket with him, 50 that Gilman,
Won Baumbach, Kittelson, Hahn and
Baker are all elected by rousing ma
jority.

The st. Paul Globe reads Christ
O'Brien, Mayor of st. Paul, cut of the
democratic party as follows:
Mayor O'Brien having deserted his
former party and gone over to the Re-
publicans, appears to have run mad
in endeavoring to regulate or defeat
the party he has abandoned.
Mayor O'Brien's departure from the
Democratic party was not much of a
sh0wer--saVe in his own estimation.

The Minneapolis Tribune thus hits
the st. Paul Globe rather hard blow,
and says:
"Mayor O'Brien is charged by the
St. Paul Globe with having deserted
the Democratic party. The determin-
alton with which he enforces the or
dinances prohibiting gambling and
prostitution in st. Paul is strong
evidences in support of the charge''
