which its organ speaks of some OF our most
respected citizens. 1t will be recalled tii''I
early in the campaign, before the nominal
lions were made, DR.. Iurphy was men
toned as person who was likely to be a
candidate for MAYOR. The Pioneer Press
denounced the idea in its usual savage,
dOmineering terms and declared that the
nomination of DR.. Murphy would be an alb
surdity that the Republican party
would not be guilty OF. NOW
what was the consequence? DR.. Murphy
is a well-knOwn and respectable cltlzell, anu
/ doubt if in the whole state there can De
found gentleman more widely known IMAM
he. OF course, such an expression In tnat
paper was not calculated to cause either the
doctor or any of his friends to take an act
i've part to elect the Republican ticket.
Now. | do not know that the doctor TOOK
any active part in the election either way
but | do know that some OF his 1rlehus
were so outraged that they would not sup

Among the hundreds of Democrats that
swarmed around the office OF the MeI-
chants hotel yesterday, congratulatlng each
other about the result of the election was Mi.
William Lee ''Well." he said, Its the
same old story. Whatever that paper
touches dies. Mr.. Merriam is nice man,
and will probably grow to be good otsl-
ness man. He was undoubtedly deceived
and made to believe that he could be elected
by opening out on John Roche, Murray and
ex-Mayor Rice, and he was unwise enough
10 believe this | suppose he must have eN-
pended quite large sum Of money. 1t
will be a lesson to him providing he heeds
it. But how we did wipe them, though!
1t was a grand triumph and swept every
thing clean except one man. Aid. DOwlan
was defeated by two votes. 1t is pity he
could not have gone through with the rest.
~
Prominent Politlcian-That article in
the Pioneer Press of Sunday swelled Rices
majority fully 1000.

''The idea said a resident of Aid. Dow
lans district. ''of Dowlan getting left by
only two votes. tell you it is absurd and
there should be a recount. There were
lots of votes bought up in this district and
/ saw well-knOwn Irishman, who was
working against Dowlan, give party OF
five Young men twenty-dOllar gold piece
to vote against him. The bottom facts of
this thing are liable to come to the front
vet. and you will see music by the full
band.''

1.-THE Pioneer Press beat one of its
men in great shape" remarked a prominent
politician yesterday, land that was Burr.
That article the other day irritated the
Democrats, and hundreds who would have
scratched Cory a couple of days before the
article, rose up on their ears and voted the
straight ticket. This is what defeated
Burr"
81 understand" said prominent Demo
crat of the Third ward yesterday, ''that
Mackay will insist on new count. Kerr
had only fourteen majority, and there is
talk of good deal of funny business"
*x*
Ex-Sheriff James knight was like a
cyclone; If beat anything | have ever seen.
-
City Treasurer Reis-The result was
splendid. I am well satisfied.
~
1t is understood that recount will be
had of the votes i'll the two precincts in
which Aid. Dowlan ran as alderman.
There are many who feel confident that he
was elected. He is an experienced and
very capable alderman and would be vastly
more. useful to the ward in the council than
would any new man that could be named.
The vote is so close that it renders a re-
count very desirable.

A crowd of about $50 gathered at Post
Siding last evening and fired the anvil about
SeVenty-iye times in honor of the election
of Edmund Rice as mayor of st. Paul.
After this the North Star band headed a
procession to Aid. Starkey's residence,
where lunch was served and several
speeches made. From there they went to
School Inspector James NJ. Curtis home,
where they had some more lunch and adj
dresses The celebrators would have been
more numerous only for the stormy
weather.

A mistake in the makeup yesterday
made it appear that A. l.. Robinson, the
Republican candidate, was elected as one of
the constableS. He was beaten by Thomas
Gallagher by 297 votes. 1t should also
have been stated that E. c. Long. instead
of w. r. Bartlett was elected alderman in
the Seventh ward. The name of c. II.
Haas, one of the successful candidates for
school inspector i'll the Sixth ward, was
omitted from the list of the elect

Secretary Hare:s Quarterly Report.
Secretary H. H. Hart submitted quar-
terry report of forty-one legal cap pages to
the board of corrections and charities on
Tuesday which is considered one of the
most able yet made by him, which was
unanimously adopted and ordered printed
in the society's pamphlets.
The secretary, after stating that the board
had been organized two years and had been
placed upon a permanent basis by the egis-
lature, announced that the latter body had
adopted its recommendations Oh six points.
viz:
A distinct and separate department for
girls III the reform school: that children
committed to the reform school for incor-
rigfbility be state charge; that commits
sion locate a third hospital for the insane:
that an appropriation be made to enlarge
the school for idiots and imbeciIes that
state institutions be required to take an all
nnal inventory of state property; with
reference to compensation of the secretary.
The Two recommendations of the board
not acted upon by the legislature in re-
Spouse to distinct appropriations for the in
stitutiOns at FaribauIt and the establish
ment Of school and other ref0rnatory
agencies at the state prison, have been
measurably fulfilled by the management of
these institutions, the trustees of Faribault
having decided to keep separate accounts of
the institutions there, and Warden Reed
having opened a school in the state prison
under the charge of one of its officers.
THE WORK OF THE BOARD
for the past quarter has been confined to
several points, viz: TO secure the building
of model jail at Fergus Falls: the building
OF model almshouse in Ramsey county; to
free the same as far as possible from the
worst vices to be found i'll such buildings;
the improvement of the systems of accounts
