POLITICAL PICK UPS.
Register.

The Republicans had a meeting last night
at the Adams School rink on South Franklin
avenue. The attendance was very good for
such a meeting, and the crowd listened with
interest to the fairy tales poured into its
ears by Freeman p. Lane. the great schemer,
Col. II. G.. Hicks, the chief of the Cutter can
vasS. and W. W. Sly, recently prominent
candidate for mayor. The speeches were all
OF one tenor. and told how good the city was
under Mayor Pillsburv, and how there was
no gambling, no drug store blind pigs, no
houses of bad repute and no liquor viola
tons, all Of which was received with bland
smiles OF incredulity.
n. w. King, member OF the Democratic
executive committee from the Seventh ward,
yesterday appointed Joseph Battles chairman
of the Second precinct committee. vice Peter
King. who has resigned, having moved out Of
the ward. G. E. DALEY, well-known Scan
dinavian. has been appointed to fill the va
caucy on the committee. Mr.. Baltes will also
act as member of the executive committee in
place of n. w. King, who has been unex.
pectedly called out of the city.
Among the staunchest supporters that Or.
Ames has in the campaign are the leading
Republican merchants and business men.
They are thoroughly Disguised with the de-
ceipt and hypocrisy of the present admin
istration, and in DIR. Ames they recognize an
honest man and a man who has been tried
and found square-toed and frank in every
act.
DrAmes has often been charged with ''slop-
ping over" and there is no gainsaying the
truth of the charge but, in his entire career. ne
never committed such an egregrious slop-
over as that of Charles A. Pillsbury in his
communication to the Journal last night. 1t
was a cOFker as a political misstep.
A week ago the Republican organs rained
abuse on DIR. Ames' head on the score that he
would reduce the license and abroyate the
patrol limits. The position being too absurd
to maintain, these snariing sh eets have now
resorted TO other tactics.

do? He bought some $40 pounds to set I'D q
little engine in the city hall.
Democrats are meeting with undue annoy
ance, owing to the insolence of the Republi-
can judges OF election In some of the pre-
cincts. Such things only strengthen the
Democratic forces for the fight OF next Tues
day.
Mayor Pill sbury's administration has given
Minneapolis hundreds of blind pigs. They
are not only outside the patrol limits, b ut
may be found in about half the drug stores
and restaurants inside the patrol limits.
The Journals appeal to the Democracy to
renounce DIR. Ames is truly pitiful, indeed.
What amazing solicitude the little Journal
has for the Democracy! But will the De-
mocracy reciprocate? Probably not.
Tonight Mayor Pillsbury is advertised to
make the only speech of the campaign at
Petersons hall He has already made one
speech, viz: ut would not be honorable
and manly for me TO accept the nomination"
A Democratic mass meeting will be held in
Hunts hall. on Plymouth avenue, this even
ing. Speeches will be made by DIR. Ames,
Col. Glenn and others.
How is IL that proposals for doing city work
ere so frequently lost By council committees?
All on account of jobbery and council pecu-
latiOns.
