in its praise. 1t was largely composed
of home talent, and here it may be
remarked mot boastingly) that but few,

enough of this kind of talent unem-

night for another excellent concert.
Wherey er musical taste abOunds there

The defenders of Cleveland say they
have detected his aceusers in a false

fair with Maria Halpin took place
seven years ago. Cleveland's friends
declare it was twelve years ago. That

fence. Cleveland was then only
about thirty-six years old, therefore

Opinions may differ as to the most
successful methods of conducting
political canvass. fl is we'll for our
Republican friends to consider the
question, and Judge of it in the light of
past experience. One method has been
to advertise and hold frequent public
meetings in different parts OF the dis
tlct or county, thus to arouse public
sentiment and create an enthusiasm.
Another method is 70 rely more on
systematic organization and thorough
canvass of voters. AS between the
two plans for achieving the greatest
success, it is believed experience has
proven the latter decidedly the best
Enthusiasm, such as is begOtten by
good public speaking, is very desirable.

than patriotic addresses to bring voters
out to poll other agencies are required.
There needs to be an enrolment of ev-
cry voter, and his assignment to divi-
sion with a reliable man at its head,
who will see that every voter attends
the polls of election when the proper
time comes. Men of observation in
these matters express the opinion that
a campaign fund of five dollars ex-
pended in this way will accomplish
more in procuring the attendance of
voters at an election than twenty dol.

are to be funds raised for Republican
campaign purposes this year, it should
not be expended so much for show as
for methods in achieving the greatest
practical results.

The following from the New York
Tribune is clear and logical state
ment of the evils to result from the
.ill-advised action of the convention
which nominated Prohibition candi-
date for President:
"The prohibitionists have had ma
tional convention and nominated a ma
tional ticket. If they could poll half
as many votes in the doubtful states
as they think they can, they would
make Gov. Cleveland president, and
give unspeakable satisfaction to the
liquor interest and the cerrupti0nists.
Ii they knew anything of Governor
Cleveland, they know that his election
would neither help them nor honor the
country. IT they knew anything Of the
two parties, they know that the Demo-
cratic party has gained all its success
for several years by open alliance with
liquor sellers and corrupt use OF their
money. Hence it was that the Demo
cratic managers contrived by secret in
flueDce to bring about the nomination
OF prohibition ticket, for they hope
in that way to draw off enough votes
to make their success possible in few
doubtful states. 70 that end we'll
meaning but unwise men are persuad-
ed that the defeat of the Republican
party would bring the temperance
question to the front.
On the contrary, republicad defeat
would expose all industry to such peril,
and all workingmen to such suffering,
that it would be impossible for eight
years at least to get any hearing for
any other question than the tariff.
No other event conceivable could do
so much harm to the cause of temper
ance as the triumph of Democratic
free-traders and corruptionists at the
coming election.

Blaine, an alledged wrong which it is
pretended took place in Kentucky
between thirty and forty years ago
The story of the Times has fallen still

deeming it unworthy of attention.
The Times declared it had in its pos
session affidavits proving its state
ment, which any one could see, but
when called upon for these documents
they were not to be had. We should
not have alluded to this silly false
hood, except there are some gullible
people in this neighborhood ready to
credit such nonsense.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail

Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities OF extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RTLLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

men are presented. There can be no
occasion for heated discussion, since
all the candidates mentioned are gentle
men of good standing. We have here
tofore expressed preference for Hon.
L. B. Caswell, of Jefferson county. We
notice in one of our exchanges that
Mr.. Caswell is objected to because he
comes from strong Democratic coun-
ty. 1t was for this reason Mr.. Casweli
was preferred. This first district can
not safely calculate upon the old-time
Republican majorities; the vote may be
close, for reasons which have hereto
fore been given in this paper. Al
though Mr.. Caswell resides in strong
Democratic county. he has generally re.
ceived largely more than party vote.
1t is not probable Republican candi-
date outside of Jefferson would carry
more than his party strength in thai
lcounty.

JAMES O,RRIES

The only gentleman who is a candidate
for auditor in Ramsey county is James
O'Brien. Mr.. O'Brien will be thrty-nine
years old ten days after he is elected county
auditor. He came to st. Paul with his wild
owed mother in 1852, being but seven years
of age, and at the age of thirteen obtained
employment in the law Office of H. j. Horn,
Esq. He remained with him until 1862
-four years. and then entered the law Office
of the late Morris Lampry. On the 14th
eff August, 1862, he enlisted
in the Tenth Minnesota and served in the
army until the close of the war. In the sec
ond days charge at Nashville on the 18th
day OF December, 1864, he was shot while
inside the rebel breast works, receiving a
serious and painful wound which prevented
his further active service in the field. As
soon as his wound permitted he entered the
provost marshaPs office in Mis-
souri,, which was in charge OF
Gen. James II. Baker, now railroad
Commissioner of this State, and remained
In service until the close of the war in 1865.
Shortly after returning home he was ap-
pointed by Albert Armstrong deputy clerk OF
the District court, which position he held,
with an intermission of two years, until Mr..
Bell, the present clerk of the court, was
elected. He is at present Secretary of the
Board of Control, in addition to which he
conducts general collection business.
He Is not only thorough gentleman, but
especially competent to discharge the duties
of the Office for which he is now a candidate.
Having grown up from boyhood in the CON-
munity, he is too well known for his honesty,
industriousness, sobriety and com potency to
need any certificates, and the ballots which
will be cast for him in November
will be his best encOmiums. 1t is
DO crime that he is poor man, with a
large family to support, and the contrast
between Mr. O'Brien and the purse proud,
arrogant, insolent and disgustingly disagree
able official who seeks a third term is so great
that the voters of Ramsey county will have
no difficulty in selecting their favorite.

Mr.. Blaine's positive denials during the
campaign have been proven by unimpeach-
able testimony, over and over again to in
volve absolute, fragrant, and deliberate false
hoods. He most emphatically denies that he
ever had any connection with the Know
Nothing party, and yet file of the Know
Nothing papers which ne edited during the
organized political action Of that party is still
in existence to confront him, and to prove
him a man of shabby and unreliable veraci-
ty.
Here is another evidence of his mendacity'
The GLOBE has already furnished the letter
written to the New York World by w. A. II.
Silloway a reputable citizen of that city, which
is circumstantia statement OF Blaine's con-
nection with the Know Nothing party and his
advocacy in Know Nothing lodge of a resi-
dence of twenty-one years, as a condition of
naturalization.
Mr. Blaine had the poor judgment 20 write
under date of October t, 1884, sit is utter
ly untrue that l ever advocated a residence
Of twenty-oue years as a requirement of ma
turalization." Rejoining TO this, Mr.. Sillo-
way says ''Mr. Blaine must have avery poor
memory of the past" and proceeds to testify
that on two occasions, when the Know Moth
ing party was in full operation in Massachu-
sets, and was so strong that it elected Hen
~ Gardner Governor or the state, he saw
Blaine on two occasions in Bigelow council,
where none but members of the order could
be admitted, and on both occasions Blaine
spoke. advocating the principles Of the party,
Que of the strongest and most imperative OF
which was that mo foreigner should be al
lowed to vote until he had resided in the
United States twenty one years the same as
those born in the country.
Mr.. Silloway further says that Blaine wrote
articles which we're printed in the american
KRoi0 Nothing, a newspaper at Boston, with
which Slloway was at the time connected.
These facts cannot be disproved, but in
what attitude do they place Blainel Certain
" in that of deliberate fslsifer, denier o
absolute facts. Take this, and all his other
deuials, proved explicitly to be false, and
was there ever before candidate that under

Wisconsin Independents.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 14.-Returns at indie
pendent headquarters indicate y growing dispo-
sitiOn on the part of the members of the Repub-
lcan party to bolt Blaine for Cleveland. The
net results of the movement thus far are much
beyond the most sanguine anticipations of the
leaders. The letters received are in
every instance from persons who
have formerly been Republicans
and acted with that party. All are more or less
boilers against Blaine. The letter given below
and written by gentleman of this city may be
fair sample of those received:
''While know that members of the Republi-
can party take great pleasure in calling all
Democrats disloyal and all Independents mug

not worthy the support of any honest man. In

terprise during the campaign. shall at least
