RAMSEY ALL RIGHT.

The Troubled OiiticRI Seas are
SmoOthed in Time for Plain SAIL
ing TO Victory.
The political waters that, days ago, had
in the minds of some troubled aspect In
Ramsey county. have rapidly smoothed
themselves. and the straight Democratic
ticket bids fair to have pretty even track
10 victory tomorrow. For those offices
over which the chief contest was pre-
dicted there has been something
of a change in the general lay of things
within two or three days. The election OF
Kahn to the authorship is conceded. A
large number of Republicans will support
him. If they are to vote for Democrat
they prefer Kahn to O'Brien. and they are
hardly willing to run the risk of placing
man of MIR. Sandstrom's ineXperence III
public life in so responsible position.
Added TO this Aid. Kahn will receive
the entire support of the labOringmen. In
the contest for the clerkship Mr.. Bell
seems to be cutting no particular figure. al
though he still persists that he is candi-
date, and will undoubtedly receive some
votes AID. O'COnnor and his friends.
however have made a red hot light and
claim TO be able to defeat Nichols, even
with what Bell can do TO elect him.
Aid. OC0nnOr is very popular, and
the fight that Bell has been making
being purely piece of spite work, seems
among some classes to have caused re-
action in favor of the man it was intended
to injure Friends of OConnor claim
sure thing for him. In the contest for
sheriff George Allen has been making it
very lively for Mr.. Richter. The hard
work will, however, be kept up until the
polls close. and in spite of Mr. Richter's
strength among the Germans, Mr.. Aliens
friends believe that he will be elected.
UNFAIR FIGHTING.
Stories have been industriOusly circulated
in certain parts of the city, and among those
voters VINO have come to ST. Paul within
the past few years, that the Democratic
candidate for Judge of probate is eX-Sherif
Henry O'Gorman. The idea seems to be
to bring up ali the weak points, whatever
they NAV have been. in the eX-SheritfS
record, and use them against the Demo
cratic candidate, who is not Henry OGor-
man. the ex-sheriff. but (. Stone German,
a gentleman with different name and who
never was sheriff in his life.
IT IS DEAD.
Those gentlemen who called themselves
the JetfersOnian Democracy have died by
their own hand. A few members have
made the whole organization suicide.
This organization was made up of certain
Democrats vino believed that the primaries
on Sept were not conducted squarely.
There were, during the palmy days OF the
organization, forty-three members. 1t was
proposed to put q ticket into the field, and
the make up was left to committee. This
committee acted not wisely, but too well,
and accepted and adopted, with few amend
ments, the Republican ticket. 1t was
eagerly published by a Republican organ
before it was adopted by the organization.
That settled it, for when the bulk Of
the members saw that the names of such
men as o. 0. Cullen, G. D. O'Brien. E. G.
Starke, e. A. HendrickSon and others,
against whom no Democrat or Republican
could raise finger, were deliberately left
off. supposng the ticket was adopted,
they remarked to themselves that such action
was too thin and presumptuous, and i'm
medateIy rendered their designations, and
by the overZealousnesS of committee of
three. and the publication OF what proved
boomerang by Republican organ, total of
thirty-siX pretty nearly straight Democratic
votes have been gained. The opinion is
expressed. however. by one ex-member at
least, that with but few exceptions the
straight Democratic ticket would have been
voted anyhow.
