ST. PAUL, Nov. 1, 1ss4.-On Tuesday
will be decided the great contest, and
we shall probably know Wednesday whether
the American people desire TO continue the g.
p IN power or shave turned the rascals out"
1t has been fierce and bitter campaign, and the
g. O. p. with one hundred thousand OF an army
Of Office holders, the support of the present adj
ministration, and the services of the United
States marshals at the polls TO intimidate voters
with unlimited funds furnished by railroad and
other monoposts TO bride and corrupt the voter,
are very confident of victory. But, Mr.. Editor, it
is fact well known that the same tactics
of the present campaign are but a repetition OF
'76 and 80, with the addition that they have
with brazen efrontery taken mp az their candi.
date the most corrupt man probably in all their
party, and are leaving no stone unturned TO COM
pass his election and defeat again the viii of the
majority OF the citizens Of the nation.
The records of all the national candidates have
been thoroughly discussed in the press and from
the stump and think too little attention has
been paid to our local candidates.
The gentlemen who have been nominated for
the county offices in this county and whose abili-
ties viii affect directly the people OF the county
have been lost sight of in the greater struggle
for the national ticket.
The county Democracy have placed before the
people ticket which should command the votes
Of the entire party and Of the independent voters
and will do so.
The two candidates for sheriff; how will they
bear comparisons Mr.. Richter was sheuf Of
! this county and what was his recordg Corrup-
ton, and defiance OF law and order 10 such an
extent that IN some cases the judgments of the
| courts were made null and void by his official
| action The men appointed by him as his depu-
los afra gfn uglV nnff for hafr
in short the record OF the gentleman was such as
10 cause his own party TO cry out in no uncertain
voice against his administration. Yet after be-
ing legally defeated the second time for the
Office, he now appears again, and has by a skilfu
! manipulation of his party caucuses. which he
| and his henchmen well understand, secured
the nomination. Will the voters Of this county
on Tuesday elect a ticket with such man at It's
headg The political hicks of which Mr.. Richter
is so great d master, will ro5 avail, and the
rebuke which will he administered 10 them
Tuesday at the pools win teach them that we
must have purity in Office, and political as well
az private life.
The Democratic county ticket is headed by
George j. Mitsch, young man who received the
unanimous nomination OF his party in a county
convention which for ability, harmony and
unanimity has never been equaed in the state.
Nhys Because the people determined 10
unite, and will not be bribed or deceived this
time. 1t Is an insult to the common sense Of the
voters TO ask them to vote for such a ticket as
the Republican party has placed in nomination.
What has been said of the head of the Democratic
ticket applies 10 all candidates placed thereon,
particularly Mr.James o Brien, the candidate for
county auditor. Who, ask, could refuse 10
vote for Jimmy o'Brien-able. honest. head
and shoulders above his opponent in
! all sthat pertains 10 the discharge of the duties
of the Office for which they are nominated. The
same applies TO all the Democratic candidates OF
this late convention. Good men, all standing
high in this county for their mental and moral
qualities, and who win give us such an admins
tration in Ramsey county will reflect credit
upon it over the whole northwest. Jingoism
corruption and fraud must fall TO the rear, for
Tuesday next, in the language of the playwright
the voters viii ''up guards and at them" anC
when the smoke OF battle has cleared away and
they see how much in earnest the people are il
this political year they will retire to that Oblivion
they have so well merited for the past hfteel
wears EX-REPUBLICAN.
