MAYOR OF MINNEAPOLIS.
A CARD TO THE PUBL,
Mayor Ames Announces Himself an Inde
pendent Candidate,
Minneapolis News Letter.l

Since nv return from Chicago / find that
several Jobs of considerable magnitude have
been put up to down me in the approaching
caueuses and convention. The boss Repub-
licans have been trying to make combina-
tions with ambitious and sore-head Demo-
Gratis upon false representations, and, appar-
entity, the time has arrived for movement
to the front. l therefore announce myself
as an independent candidate for reelection to
the office of mayor, and 1 pledge myself to
remain such until the polls close on election
day. Not being prepared by natural endow-
ment or education in the art of packing eau
cuses, sending out beer buyers, and employ
ing strikers to distribute lies, I prefer to
leave that field to others, and make my ap-
peal directly to the people. If the broad
guage policy which / have pursued for two
years, and under which the city has pros
pered, is what the voters want continued,
they can so express themselves at the polls;
if a narrow-guage plan is decided upon l am
not the person to fill the bill, and will gladly
retire. : My record as public
vite fair investigation and the
closest scrutiny and criticisms. If any one
can find dishonest act in my official record,
or any comDlnatlon Win cnques OF men 10
wrong the city, Il will resign at once. Other
wise shall ask for an endorsement OF re-
pudiation of my official stewardship at the
hands of the people of Minneapolis. dc
not claim to have policy that fits every
body's idea; butI have always tried, as an
executive, to give every sect and class Of
citizens all the personal liberties consistent
with their early education, habits and belief
and not inconsistent with good order and the
rights of others.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Banks were fairly called
on to-day for loanable funds, which the principle
institutions report iu sufficient supply for all
legitimate requirements. Call loans of a desr-
able character are made at 5h@6 per cent with
time favor going at 6h@7 per cent. Eastern
exchange is firmer than during the early part
of the week. and because of the scarcity of offer
ings sold at SOC premium per

with one holiday foot up total of $780,
675, 657.72, being about 81, 100, 900 less than
for the corresponding week last year.
Henry Clews g. Co., wired Schwartz g. Du-
pee as follows: ''Prices at the opening of
the exchange this morning were fractionally
lower than the closing ones of yesterday, but
soon Thereafter Reading was stimulated by a
vaccinating process for the purpose of in
occulating the general market, but it did not
take to that, so on Monday it will most
probably be tried over again on some other

day was excessively dull, and doubtless ma

new and firmer hold to be taken in order t.
sustain an additional upward movement
For the present prices should be regarded a
sufficiently high to justify realizing profit
whenever they crop out.

follows:
SECTION 4732. The trustees of any
township, when notified in writing That
any Canada thistles, teasles or wild car
rots are about to go to seed in any land
within their township, shall cause the
same to be destroyed in time to prevent
the seed from spreading, and make re-
turn in writing to the Board of County
Commissioners of the county, with
their bill of expenses and charges there
for, which bill shall be paid from the
county fund, the same having been adj
mitted and allowed by the Board, at
the rate of compensation allowed by
law to trustees for ordinary services,
and the amount so paid shall be en-
tered upon the duplicate against the
land upon which the thistles, teasles or
wild carrots were destroyed, and COL
lected the same as other taxes, and re-
turned to the county fund; but the
owner, lessee, or agent of any land upon
which Canada thistles, teasles or wild
carrots are about going to seed, shall
first be notified in writing by some per-
son interested, at least five days pre-
vious to the cutting by the trustees.
