WHAT REPUBLICAN PAPERS SAY
The Course of the Pioneer Press
Condemned by Its Own Party
Papers.
CAMPAIGN SANDER.


st. Paul Dispatch.
The Dispatch has received no positive
and secret information upon which to found
any startling revelations" If it had it
would refuse to precipitate such informa-
ton upon the public upon the eve of an
election without the strongest and fullest
proof of its accuracy. The Dispatch de-
clines to engage in campaign of SANDER
and personal detractiOn by attacking the
character of men who have long borne rep
utatiOns as honorable citizens upon the eve
of an election. x x The Pioneer Press
has, we think, very injudiciously,
even from partisan standpoint, launched
an avalanche of charges so late in the day
that, in the absence of positive proof, the
average reader will be almost certain to set
down as campaign lies. There is
point beyond which political and partisan
warfare ought not to go without the most
positive and irrefragible proof, and that
point is the impeachment of the personal
honor and integrity of men who have here
tofore borne upright characters in the COM
munity.
AN UNFORTUNATE BLUNDER.
Minneapolis Tribune.
On Saturday the Republicans were feel
ing very confident of an election of Merriam
for mayor, but owing to an untimely attack
upon the city council, and Comptroller
Roche in particular, made yesterday morn
ing by the local organ of the Republican
committee, opinions now differ more than
heretofore as to the probable result. If the
charges are true they ought to have been
seasonably published in order to give the
people an opportunity to investigate for
themselves. There is prevailing notion
that charges Of so serious nature coming
on the eve of an election, with no one to
vouch for them, have too much the appear
ance of a campaign SANDER to be of value
to the party responsible for their publica-
tion and hence a reaction is feared by the
friends of the Republican candidates. y
The unfortunate blunder is the more to
be regretted because presumably made in
the interests of the Republican ticket by

SAMPLE ACT.
illustrating the Hypocrisy of the
Reform Cry--Street' Car
Legislation.

To the Editor of the Globe:
I am glad you have arraigned the action
of Mr.. Merriam as member of the legisla-
ture of 1888, by which perpetual fran
chise, with powers unprecedented in any
other municipality on this continent, were
confirmed in the st. Paul Street Railway
corporation.
Permit me to recapitulate briefly some Of
the facts, ''all of which [ saw" The cor
poration, against the almost unanimous pro-
test of property owners abutting West Sew
enth street, had established nuisance by
laying down double track. 1t was threat
ening to repeat similar offense upon Wa
basha street and to destroy Pleas
ant avenue and other streets by
the imposition of its tracks. 1t
was refusing to do its share of the cost of
paving and other important expenditures
needed to habilitate our thoroughfares, and
I, as one of the aggrieved parties, at the
instance of many others, who had seen that
the Merriam bill was passed under suspen-
sion of the rules, endeavored to arrest its
progress.
1t was too late, although the bill had only
gone to its second reading in the senate.
It was too late, and why? | was informed
that Mr. Merriam had SO manipulated it
that its passage was pledged, having
been dovetailed with other important meas
ures in so ingenious manner that the
''engine could not be reversed"

TO the Irish Electors of St. Paul.

Fellow Countrymen: A great crisis in the
municipal affairs of our adopted city is at
hand. Tomorrow you are called upon to
exercise your rights as voters. The issues
before you are plain. The Pioneer Press
recommends the Republican ticket. Beware
of what it recommends, Remember, fell
low countrymen, the exultation with which
it hailed the attempted assassination of
O'DOnOvan Rosa on the streets of New
York in the early part of this year; the
sneers and SCOTS with which it sought to
ridicule the cause of liberty which he rep
resented-a cause represented by Tone,
Fitzgerald and Emmett, by Tell, Kosciusko
and Washington. Consult its columns at
that period and you will find it was mimi
cal to our race and aspirations after liberty.
You will find that its scraps were cooked
to suit the special palates of its Republican
patrons. Its commentator should be our
condemnation of that party.
Remember these facts and let your blows
at the polls be heavy, hot and decisive.
Vote solid for Democracy and crush for
two years the pretensions of the Pioneers
patrons in ST. Paul. GARRYowEN.

Election of the resentment felt all through
the city Yesterday at the uncalled for attack
made by morning paper on the probity of
CITY officials. The comprehenSiYenesS Oh
the diatribe had much to do with the tumult
of disaffetion with which it was received.
Not satisfied with tradueing the motives
and the official careers of one or two OIL
Gals. hitherto praised by it as models, the
paper referred to endeavored to mpeach
the honesty of q large circle of men against
whom never a word OF cayil has hitherto
found lodgment. In doing this, 1t
of course antagonized much
larger clientage of friends OF the
persons attacked, who are all old and re-
spected citizens. and so made the unpopu-
laritv OF the attack the more widespread
and vehement There is little doubt that
the political effect OF the attack was exactly
the opposite to the one intended. The evil
dent malignity and wickedness of it turned
votes to Rice and Roche, which
had previously been WaVer-
inc. A member of the chamber
of commerce who is neither politician nor
an otlice-holder stated yesterday that a
score Of voters who were intending to
scratch the second name on the Democratic
ticket, were now determined to vote it
straight The bold and aggressive manner
in which the persons so wantonly
attacked made their stand in
the chamber of commerce yester
day morning was published in 25, 900 papers
before o'clock p. M, and had its effect of
more than counteracting any political effect
which Sundays publication might have had
upon the voters who had more recently come

previous political history. TO-day's votes

How sicilian Girls Get Husbands.

Leslie.
1t is said that in the Island of Sicily the
girls get husbands in the following manner
n the hosp ital at Palermo the long dormi-
tories were clean and orderly, but the curl
Gus and peculiar feature of this establish
ment was the pariatiOn or reception room
a large, long room, the greater portion
of which was divided Off from
the side and further end by an iron grating,
which forms cage, entered only by we'll
barred street door, through which visitors
are admitted from the outer world Here
they sit On the iron grating once week.
On Sunday morning from 10 to II o'clock
this place is the scene of the most novel and
judicial courtships ever described.
One Of the objects of this motherly
establishment is to find fit husbands
for the girls in charge. The one requisite of
suitors is much like that in Society-the
young man is bound to show himself in
possession OF sufficient means to maintain o
wife in comfort before he is allowed to
aspire to the hand of one of the precious
damsels. Having given in his credentials
of fitness to the guardian he receives card
which admits him the next Sunday
morning to an inspection of the candidates
for matrimony. There, sitting ON bench,
if his curiosity and ardor will allow him to
remain SlCtlng, ne awaits the arrival ON lne
other side of the grating of the lady
superior accompanied by a girl, who has
been selected by order of seniority
and fitness for household work
from a hundred or more between the
ages of seventeen and twenty-one, waiting
for youth to deliver them from their
prison. After the couple look at each other
the lady superior asks the maiden and the
young man if they are satisfied. When
the betrothal has taken place they
part till the Sunday following, when
the young lover again makes
his appearance before the tri-
bunal of guardians, and there the con-
tracts are signed, the day of the marriage
fixed and he is granted leave to bring the
ring, earrings and wedding7dress and pre-
sent them through the grid-iron to his be-
trothed. Everything has to pass the scru-
tiny of the sisters for fear of letter OF
some tender words being insinuated with
the gifts. During the few Sundays that in
tervene between the first scene and the
marriage an hours conversation within
hearing of the lady superior is allowed,
but not much is exchanged. Should the
young man refuse the first damsel pre-
scented to him he is favored with the sight
of two or three more, but should he still
feel diffident he is dismissed. The mar
rage over, the task of the sisters is done.

Said an old-line Republican last evening,
Il don't believe in misrepresenting man
even for political purposes. Now, the
Pioneer Press did Mr.. Rice great injustice
when it stated that he had secured at the
public expense when mayor, the building of
the Westminster street bridge for his own
personal benefit. The fact is that the
bridge was built as part OF the splen-
did system of public improvements
inaugurated during his administration. The
structure cost in round figures 100000 OF
this amount the Omaha railway paid $751;
600, Mr., Rice himself $4,000 and the tax
payers the other 50, 900. And the taxpay-
ers have realized fully on their investment
III the benefits. Their children can attend
school now without taking the desperate
chance of being run down by trains"

six were for Rice and one for Merriam.
~
The account related in Sundays GLOBE,
regarding bulldozing in the Harvester
works, so far from being a lie, was further
substantiated by an occurrence OF yester-
day. Some one entered the shops and be-
gan showing some papers illustrated with
cuts of Mr.. Rice. The fore
man of the shop bounced
upon him like wild beast, and instead of
requesting him in courteous way to leave,
called helper and rudely hustled him
about and finally out of the door. 1t is an
interesting fact. however, that before the
foreman entered the shop the w0rkmen had
given three cheers for Rice.
Yesterdays Pioneer Press mentions a con-
sultation held in City Attorney Murray's
Office by all the Democratic candidates ex-
cept Cory, for the purpose of counteracting
the astounding revelations" about Comp
troller Roche's statement. The Pioneer
Press pretends to know that 1t was agreed
in said meeting ''to trade Cory votes for
Roche" 1t is hardly necessary to state
that the source Of this communication
is the same as that of the
astounding revelations the fertile imagna-
ton of the Pioneer Press. Mr.. Cory has,
