II is claimed that there was no school in
spector nominated in the third district of the
Fourth ward, the low-license ticket being the
only one that had a candidate for that Office
on il. In the convention yesterday Frank
BaItiy of that district nominated Fred s.
Schrader for that Office. The nomination was
approved.
The defeat of Aid. Van Slyke in the pri-
maries has displeased n large number of his
friends, and there is some talk of pitting him
against Kenny ON an Independent ticket. 1t
Is also hinted that the Republicans Will nom

too muc h public spirit to be thrown over.

themselves the candidates of the Democratic
party in that district.

When the clock in the market house
tower tolled the hour of 10 yesterday morn
ing, Pfeifers hall held about 200 represent
atives of the city Democracy and the heavy
fall of feet on the stairs without indicated
that they were not all in yet. The hall
wore the garnitures with which it was dec
Grated several weeks ago and the sunlight
streamed into the windows gave the room
a light and pleasant appearance. Every
body was talking politics and the different
delegations could be found in little knots
around the hall conversing in subdued
voices, while an occasional Republican was
noticeable with a look on his face that i'll
dcated a restless spirit and mind i'll at ease.
NJ. j. Bell of the Sixth ward was there and
kept track of the proceedings, presumably
that he might place a correct record
of them before the Republican city COM
mittee in the evening. By the door was
stationed Chief Clark, whose new uniform
set off his Stalwart figure to a great advant-
age. The work of the convention was
short, but two candidates were to be named
and there was no inclination on the part OF
any one to make long speeches. The settle
ment of questions arising before the COM
mittee on credentials occupied more time
than the work of making nominations.
There was almost a unanimity on all issues
of the convention proper that made il inn
possible for anything but harmony. George
Refs was nominated for treasurer by accla-
nation unanimously, and Frank Ford for
associate municipal Judge lacked but three
votes Of the same compliment. The reSo-
lutiOnS were brief-only one, and that was
not debated Altogether the convention
was quiet and harmonious one.

Statements as to the Stonecutters
aud the Court III ouse Work.

The following, relative to the recent
troubles between stonecutterS and Mr..
Breen, will explain itself:
To the Editor of the Globe.
Last fall Thomas Ward of Minneapolis came
to st. Paul with the avowed intention of run-
nlng my business. According to the program
several Minneapolis cutters followed him and
succeeded in making Mr.. Ward president of
the St. Paul Stonecutters' union within q
very short time. This spring, in March, the
union broke an agreement with me, and
went on a strike. Since then Mr.. Ward has
had printed several columns of falsehcods.
iDuendoes and inSInuations regarding myself
and the court house job. He boosted in
March. II will have old Breen on his knees
before me within q week." and that he would
run me out of the business this season; that
the brakemen and conductors would not take
stone out of my quarry as soon as he issued
his boycott, and dozens of other braggadocio
assertions. In yesterdays papers he informs
the public how much behind 1 am in
my contract. / will wager any amount
can raise that he is further behind in the
contracts above mentioned than / on the
court house. The public should understand
that Mr.. Ward is in the employ of the union
and has to throw them crumbs once in a
while, to make them think he is earning his
money. As to his epthets of scabs, etc,
wish to say that 1 consider it more honorable
for workingman TO have n scab on his hand
than on the seat of his pants. Mr.. Wards
actions show that he does not. / have here
at work thirty-two cutters, majority of
whom are better cutters than Mr.. Ward or
his gang. The following letter from my fore
man at Kasota explains itself. NJ. BREEN.
Kasota, Mimi. April 22.-Mr. Breen. Dear
Sir: We have sixteen cutters working to-day
Have several more hired for next week. As
soon as we get things arranged here wiz put
them on. All the strikers in town have re-
turned to work. Yours, o. NJ ROBBINS

CONTEsTING DELEGATIONS.
The Gies Delegates From the Sixth
Ward Given Their Seats,

The Gies Delegates From the Sixth
Ward Given Their Seats.
When the committee on credentials sub
mitted its report TO the convention, a pro-
test was at once made against the seating
of the delegates from the First district of
the Sixth ward. A minority report was
submitted in which the names of the Gies'
delegates were returned. The report also
claimed that Frank GieS received the nomi-
nation for alderman in the Sixth ward.
Judge Barrett suggested that one from each
of the contesting delegations be given a
hearing on the floor of the house. on the
questions at issue, and this proved to be
the general sentiment of the convention. A
debate followed in which there were
charges of fraud in the primaries on the one
side and of claims of square dealing on the
other. William Erdman spoke for the del
egaJions regularly returned. He said IL
any wrong had been done at the
caucus he did not know II.
If votes had been rejected. as was
claimed, he thought, it was because the
| persons that offered them were not legal
voters. He said that voters from Kittson
| street. Yoerg's brewery and other places
outside of the district had been offered at
the ballot box and the judges had refused
| W lCCSlNC tuclu ne also Salu tlat reDeat-
ers had been detected and their votes re-
jected, but as he was one of the Judges he
knew that the vote had been Conducted
squarely. Each of the opposing factions
had been allowed man to watch the boxes
and he believed there was no good ground
for charges of illegality in the proceedings.
B. ii. Moriarty spoke in behalf of the
conteSting delegates, saying that he made
the contest on the ground of illegality in
the proceedings of the caucus. he
claimed that small tissue ballots had been
used for the regular delegates, and that too
many Of them had been cast. He alleged
that good many Republicans had been at
the caucus and had voted, although obiec-
tion was made at the time. He
further said that the difference
between the tickets could be noticed by the
judges, and the men challenged were those
holding Gies tickets. He cited an instance
or two in support of his statement.
These were all the statements that were
made by the contesting parties. j. J. Nc
Cafferty moved the adoption of the min
ority report, seating the Gies delegates
saying that to his mind it looked as if there
were good grounds for the kick. On the
face of it, at any rate. he said, it looked as

there was something that the convention
should investigate. This was carried, and
Mr.. Gies submitted as the conteSting dele
gates MesSrs. b. III. MOriarty. j. Z. Brady,
Adam Helm and V. a. Geisen. After some
debate these were given seats, by vote of
the convention
A TREASURER NOMINATED.
Judge Barrett then rose and placed in
nomination Mr.. George Refs for city treas
urer. In doing so he paid Mr.. Refs most
hattering tribute, saying that he was a man
who has for years filled the position with
honor and credit. He had risen from the ranks
of the laboring classes, and was honored
and respected in his Office, and above re-
proach. Mr.. Refs was nominated by ac-
clamatiOn, unanimously. Mr.. McCafferty
then nominated as candidate for municipal
Judge, Frank Ford. He paid him a high
compliment as an attorney and a gentle
man. Judge Nelson nominated Judge
Schoonmaker, the present incumbent, but
he was defeated by vote of 60 to 3.
A RESOLUTION.
Mr.. II. II. Fuller offered the following
resolution. which was adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That the Democracy OF the city
of St Paul are in accord and sympathy with
the workingmen and labor interests of the
cOunlIys UndC IL IaNOrS the repeal or the
present law requiring all city work to be done
by contract, and is in favor of eight hours as
constituting days labor for all men en-
ployed as day laborers; and that ii faYors all
other measures which will tend to promote
the welfare and happiness of the working
men, who are the bone and sinew of the great
Democratic party.
On motion of Mr.. Charles Ringwald the
chairman of the convention was authorized
to appoint city committee at some future
day. Mr.. Ford, the nominee for judge. was
present and he was called for, and was in
trOduced by Chairman O'Brien in flatter-
ing speech. Mr.. Ford replied briefly, say
ing that he should, in the limited capacity
which the Office would afford him, try to
mete out justice with mercy.
From the Third precinct of the Fourth
ward Mr.. Fred Schrowder was nominated
for school director, as it was stated no NOM
ination had been made. A committee was
named to escort Treasurer Refs to the hall,
but the gentleman was detained at home,
whereupon the convention adjourned.

maker in nomination. as he had
filled but part of q term and
was a gentleman and good
judge. j. j. McCafferty said that he had
nothing against Mr. SchOonmaker. but on
principle he believed that a Democrat
should be nominated. 1t was the business
of Democratic convention TO nominate
Democratic candidates. John Williams
spoke I'm the same strain. lie said he had
seen these ''cOurtesies," and had got enough
of them. He believed in making a straight
party nomination, whatever merits the Re
publican incumbent might have. The con-
vention thought so. too, and Mr.. Ford was
nominated by vote of 60 to 8, and was
declared the candidate.

duties he spoke briefly, thanking the con-
ventiOn for the honor.
He said that it was an 10 Tor that any man
might be proud of, TO occupy the chair before
Democratic convention even for a moment.
Routine work, he said, was not large, but
there were other matters of more Importance
than the nominations that might be consd-
erred by the convention. He referred to the
great questions involved in regulating the
conditions OF capital and labor, in providing
for the working clasSeS-the men who were
born into the world to earn their living, who
had little sympathy in their struggles, who had
upon them the responsibility of preserving
the solidity of the home and the public. The
men who upheld the fabric of government;
TO whom the rich should take off their hats,
were the men who took their dinner pals at
in the morning and went TO their work to
remain until 6 at nj ght The rights of this
class require attention. 1t is so recognized in
the National halls of legislation. This is as
sure as that the sun rose over st. Paul this
morning. The time has come when q fit of
dyspepsia on the plrt of Jay Gould should
not throw thousands of workingmen out of
employment while their families are in pow
erty and extremity. To remedy this, it is
necessary to elect hoLest men to places of
public trust, and in placing men at the head
of the government who are faithful and hon
est. He believed that the convention would
express itself on this point. The speaker pro-
ttSbcu iudJ nS WIS III SslTutcI III JutSt WO1Qs.
"Whatever weakness or crankineSs l may
have,' said he, II have never upon the side
walk or upon the platform lied TO my fellow
men," and again thanking the convention for
the honor it had conferred on him, he sat
down amid applause.
Mr.. Charles B. Manship was nominated
for temporary secretary and elected by ac-
clamatiOn. On motion of Charles Ring
wald committee of one from each ward
was appointed on credentials, the chairman
naming the following:
First ward, George H. Allen; Second ward,
John Doyle; Third ward r. L.Gorman; Fourth
ward, Patrick Egan; Fifth ward, Lawrence
Fahey; Sixth ward, John Norman; Seventh
ward George Harris.
1t was voted that the chair appoint a
committee of five to report permanent
officers and the convention took recess of
fifteen minutes while the committee on
credentials went out. The committee on
credentials were out fully half an hour,
during which time there was some canvass
ing and general discussion going on all
over the house. This committee was in

They Want TO Close sunday.

The BARRIERS held meeting last night al
the corner of Seventh and Sibley streets. A
committee was appointed to see that the
state law in reference to Sunday work is
inf0rced in case the mayor refuses to sign
the recently-rassed ordinance. Messrs.
Christ Miller, George S. Phillips, j. d.
Underwood, j. p. Hand and J. sligo COM
pose the committee. Yesterday a delega-
tion of BARRIERS called on Mayor Rice and
urged him to place his signature to the
ordinance. Several hotel men also called
and used their influence to prevent the
ordinance from becoming law. The bar
bers will hold another meeting on Monday.
They are greatly interested in the move
ment to close on Sunday, and many prom
inent citizens are using their influence in
their behalf.
