BEFORE THE BATTLE.

The Lines Dratcp qtp in Martial A1rGu,
Ready for the strife To-n,orrotr.
Tomorrow the voters of Minneapolis will
determine the policy of the city administra-
ton, in measure, for the coming year at
least. In case Democratic aldermen are
elected the probability is that the existing
patrol limits ordinance will either be done
away with or materially modified, and in
case Republican aldermen are elected the
present policy in that respect will be con-
tinued. 1t has been claimed that every
ward in the city will send Republican alder
men to the council, but there is probably not
sane man in the city who believes in the
prediction. The complications in the several
wards would tend to compromise, on the
whole, the Republican party.
IN THE FIRST WARD
Titus Mareck, the present incumbent,
and H. E. Blaisdell are the
candidates of the two parties Both are good
and fit to run for the Office, but as Aid. Mar
eek has made a valuable member of the
council during his brief service, he has
gained multitude Of warm friends who will
support him with enthusiasm; and as the
First ward is usually Democratic, there is
little doubt of Mr.. Mareck's election.
THE SECOND WARD.
The complications in the Second ward
are only equaled by those of the
Seventh ward. Three separate evenings
have been devoted to holding primaries by
the Republicans. Mr.. Gillette carried the
various precincts twice and Mr.. Elwell car
ried them once. Mr.. Gillette announced
himself as candidate in any emergency I'M

ders of the ward foresaw the
result. Mr.. Nelson, the Democratic
nominee, would have carried the
opposing party. The Republicans got to-
gether and effected a compromise. David
Clough was placed in nomination, and the
other candidates were pulled out of the con-
test 1t is quite proper to state that Mr..
Nelson has occupied the office and that he
made an admirable alderman. The exper-
fence gained during his term o Office must be
of incalculable benefit to him, and it is in
the interests of the Second ward that he be
elected this time.
THE THIRD WARD.
There is little political strife in the Third
ward. The candidates are: Democratic,
Hon. Edmund Eichhorn, and Republican,
J. 0. Weld. The issue is the liquor
question. Mr.. Weld has been a rabid
prohbitionist, while Mr.. Eichhorn is an
interchangeable advocate of the broadest per-
sonal liberties. 1t is believed that as between
the two positions, large majority of the
voters of the Third ward will choose that oc-
cupied by Mr. Eichhorn.
N THE FOURTH WARD
the issue is plain as the MONDAY sun. Mr..
Morse favors liberal government, while Mr..
Woods is an advocate of narrow-gauge prin-
ciples. Mr.. Woods, the Republican can
didate for alderman, is an estimable
gentleman, devout Christian and
a leading member of Plymouth church.
Get, placed comparison with Hon. Henry
Morse, there is little, II anything to be said
in his favor.
THE OTHER WARDS.
The Fifth ward is the Republican strong
hold. DIR. Ames is almost the only Demo
crat who has ever carried the ward. Thomas
Downes has been placed in nomination by
the Republican party, much to the displeas-
ure of individual members of the party, and
James w. Tamm, miller, is the Democratic
candidate.
In the Seventh ward things are even more
mixed than they are in the Second ward.
The names of the Democratic candidates are
legion, and the same may be said of the Re-
publicans. Mr.. Stokes and Mr.. Devin are
the regular Democratic nominees, although
their rights have been disputed. The Demo-
Gratis will find that the party will have to ex-
ert every influence to succeed in electing
their candidates.
Since the declinatiou Of Charles NJ. Foote
Mr.. Z. Ii. Moulton is the only candidate for
the Office of city treasurer, and he conse-
quently has no opposition.
The central city committees of both parties
will meet this evening.
