WAR AMONG THE RAIDS.
Ramsey County Republicans All Torn Up
With Fractional Fights and Per-
sonal Quarrels.
NJ. J. Bells Claim That He Carries the
Irish Vote in His Pocket Strongly
Resented.
Evidence That Sheriff Richter Has
Cruelty starved and Ill Treated
His Prisoners.
The Nichols Family Promises Dick
Bell Deputyshfp--W orktngmen
Opposed to Sandstrom.
All Torn Un.

The Republican party of Ramsey county
has discovered that its worst Ell envy is it
self. Not a nomination on the county
ticket has given the satisfaction that insures
harmony in the party. Every workingman
and every Scandinavian in the city has been
insulted. The candidates who were placed
on the ticket as the outcome of this de-
termined snubbing of two of the strongest
elements in the party now find themselves
in position where they have to resort to the
most dishonorable method of securing politi-
cal support. Each ones scheme is to have
flood of tickets at the polls next Tuesday
which will cut all the other candidates
from their ticket, hoping to secure crooked
vote to the disadvantage of the other nomi-
nees. They have secured the services OF
willing tools to undertake the printing OF
thousands of such tickets, and then to
stand at the polls with slips of the names
of the other candidates of the party, intend
ing to induce a certain element to
vote for the mOngrel ticket, with the COM
promise that any particular voters prefer
ence among the other candidates can be
placed upon the ticket by the use OF these
Slips This particular method is generally
regarded as traitorous. The gentlemen
who are engaged in this thing to-day are
William A. Nichols. c. A. Sandstrom,
Frederick Richter and M. j. Bell.
Frederick Richter hopes to catch
the vote of the Germans, who
are as rule Democrats. by this scheme.
c. A. Sandstrom is after the Norwegian
vote. NJ. j. Bell wants to pocket the Irish
vote. and Will Nichols, being deputy clerk
of the supreme court, is after all those he
and his friends can make out naturalization
papers for free of charge.

A MEXICAN CRISIS.
Comment on the rropOsiuien to
Establish n Dictatorship.

NOGALEs, Ari., Oct. 27.-The proposal OF
prominent Mexicans to establish dictator
ship to replace the presidency of Mexico il
attracting great deal of comment The
Mexican papers with few exceptions have
lately espoused the scheme and urge its
adoption. Ell Monitor Fronterisco. says:
seen. Diaz prepares the road 10 the dicta
torship, the Voz de Mexico has entered tho
arena and procaims it. Congress is called OF
to sanction the will Of the Caesar of the con
tinent. Senior Romero Rubio works silently
to realize this new plan. Not being able t.
bring to success his project to prolong the
presidential term, he took up the dictator
ship, and so it happens that the project il
fathered by a pillar of the Conservative
party and the people seem to be indifferent
to these attempts. Meanwhile the guberna-
torial press clamors for dictatorship of Diaz
for twenty years. Why not hereditary.
When nations do no not possess the necessary
manhood to be free, nothing is more evident
than that despots will take advantage of theiI
Incidence and erect thrones and assume the
scepter. 1t is nine years now since the men
of Guertcher (Diaz parity climbed step by
step the ladder which leads to despotism and
once there had defed public ire. Already
they ignore the fundamental laws and all that
is wanted is the reign of sole will. The life
of a slave is sorrowful and we need to redeem
it as men of action, men whose hearts belong
to the country, not to the horde OF specula-
tors. Ii such men have disappeared we bow
respectfully to the ruins OF the Republic, and
eXcaim. Long live Porhrio'
La Voz De Mexico strongly urges in its
latest edition that Gen. Diaz be made die
tator, and the organ of Monte Allegro de-
mands that the generals term be made
twenty wears and that the Office be made
hereditary.

DOODLE CAM PAIGN.
Large Republican Corruption Fund
Ready to BE Tapped.


The Republican candidates met yesterday
afternoon with the Republican county COM
mittee. Assessments were made and
promptly paid. Sam Nichols has secured
So, 900 from Gilfllan, which Sam will use
for the benefit of his son Will, so Repub-
lican candidate says. Fred Richter puts
down $500, with promise of more If it is
needed. M. j. Bell is ready with $3.50,
Sandstrom with $780, all the other candi-
dates with whatever amount they can
give or borrow. Another candidate
coolIy places SO. 900 at the disposal
of the committee. This money
is to be used for medicine. A basis for the
estimate of the amount of money needed is
found in the poll lists, upon which the
county committee has had score OF en-
ployeS engaged for the past two weeks.
The Pillsbury estimate is set upon each un-
certain voters head. IL seems to be a
money campaign which the Repub-
licans of Ramsey are to carry on.
Poll workers, notaries and teamSterS are
to be employed at SO much apiece. The
entire policy of the party seems to be
mercenary, with mercenary motives and to
mercenary ends. Where promises OF en-
ployment in sub-official capacities will
answer they were made; where ward poll
ticians demand money for their dirty work
the greenbacks are yielded with comforting
alacrity.
One of the strangest things in the pres
emit campaign is Jimmy OBrien running
the independent movement in company
with Dick Bell. When Mr.. Bell was
elected delegation of citizens of good
business standing waited upon him and re-
quested him to make Mr.. O'Brien deputy
in the clerks Office. NO" was Mr.. Bells
polite answer, this Office can get along

Buying COlored Votes.

incidentally with this comes up the ques-
ton of who owns the colored men of st.
Paul. The tools of Sam and Will Nichols
are E. P. Wade and Isaac w. Evans.
These latter gentlemen are ward politicians.
Wade and Evans" so says derisively
Thomas Jefferson, wellknown cOlOred
citizen. elbow around town that they can
make the colored men do as they please,
and can buy them for anybody for so much
per head" Mr.. Jefferson says it is time
the colored men of the city asserted their
independence over these precinct politicians
and let them know that every ''darkey," as
Wade calls his own people when offering to
sell them to the Republican managers, is a
free and enlightened citizen, able to decide
for himself which way he should cast a
ballot. There are men among the cOlored
men like John Burgett. George G. Allen,
and several hundred more who are getting
really tired of hearing two men claim they
can do as they please with all the colOred
citizens of St Paul. These men have
formed an Ames and Rice club openly and
above board, declaring their right OF self
choice.

The Democrats, however. should not allow
their inexperience 10 stand in the way OF
keeping a strict watch upon the Republican
managers in their several counties and pre-
cincts. They should have representatives
at the polls and among the election judges.
They should be vigilantly on their guard to
prevent the registration and voting of UNI
authorized persons, and should be pre-
pared to meet and check unlawful
methods wherever they may appear. The
present election means much to the Repub-
lcans and a certain class will not allow it
to go against them if any possible effort of
theirs, lawful or unlawful, will prevent it.
To the Democrats it means the one grand
opportunity ever gwen them of restoring
honest government to the state, and there
fore it should be seen to that proper meas
ures are taken on election day to prevent
the slightest possibility of mistakes" on
the part of the Republicans, which would
rebound to the disadvantage of the Demo-
cratic ticket. To every Democrat through
out the state the GLOBE says: Vote early
and be vigilant on Nov. 2.

AN ARGUMENT FOR M'GILL.


The Republican ringsterS are right. There
is one reason which gives some shadow OF
excuse to MCGIIL's candidacy for the high
est Office within the gift of the people OF
the state For sixteen years he has fed at
the public crib; for sixteen years he has de-
voted his time to the routine clerical work
of a bureau position: for sixteen years he
has been in receipt of handsome salary
from the state treasury and has returned
therefor the minimum of Woodwork OF
character that high-school boy could as In
telligently perform after a months expert
ence. In all that time he has had no
thought of earning his living other
wise than by continuing IN an
DfficiaI position. He has allowed the best
wears of his life to pass in the occupa ncy
nf a sinecure without turning his hand to
ANYTHING of practical nature. The result
is he is totally united for taking his station
in the ranks of bread-winnerS IN civil lie.
He only knows the routine of official life
and it is therefore of vital necessity to him
that he be not thrown upon the tender
mercies of a cold world where he would
have to srustle" He can only live in the
state house atmosphere. because without it
he would suffer financial asphyXiation. And
that. forsooth. is the most logical and forcl-
bic argument the ring managers can
offer for the election eff their plant tool.
But the people of Minnesota have possibly
a higher idea regarding the governorshlp OF
the state than that it is a position which
NAV serve as a means of pensioning a pro-
fessionaI politician so that he may be most
serviceable to a certain shrewd and I'M
scrupulous clique. They will indicate their
hearty condemnation of such supposition
next Tuesday by the triumphant election OF
Dr.. AMEs and the entire Democratic ticket.

THREE NONENTITIES.
4 Nice Trio TO Send to the Legisla-
fllre,

Not only is the Republican party ripped
up with dissension. but it's ticket is made
up of nonentities. Look at the legislative
ticket: John Norman, j. j. ElmquiSt,
William l.. Ames nobody ever knew they
were in the party until the day the conven-
ton brought them out of obscurty. Yet
these men are selected as fair specimens of
the people of st. Paul to represent rich
wards with many interests in the halls of
the state legislature. Neither DR.. j. II.
Murphy nor Conrad GotZian could be in
duced to run this year, although the Re-
publican managers called upon them re-
peatedly begging them to do so. There
was not Republican in the First ward of
any prominence that wanted to risk his
time and money i'll contest against AmeS.
Rice and the Workingmen. The Republi-
cans disdained to
NOTICE A WORKINGMAN,
whose name had been suggested in a
caucus before the convention as an available
candidate, They thought to capture a
lower town element by selecting from their
midst a man the least able to represent it.
Now this man is thrown upon his own
resources to fight his way through. He
has recourse to an attack upon the personal
competency of Robert Newell his Demo-
cratic and labor opponent. Slurringly he
says Newell Is incompetent to fill the Office
for the ward, and that he is 'Only work
ingman, and workingmen can be bought
for dollar or two apiece" 1t is slur upon
the character of workingmen which has the
Pillsbury-Republican stamp. Mr.. Newell
has the voluntary laffidavits in his posses
sion of outraged wOrkingmen who heard
Mr. Norman tell his frieidS ''workingmen
could be bought for dollar or two apiece.
and he had been keeping alive several who
owed him bills and never would pay him."
Mr. Norman never soiled his hands with
honest toll, and his idea of workingmen is
that they are bargainable, cheap John
ware.
The record of William Ames in the coun-
try is that he has been county commits
sioner, and during his term he has never
done anything except to shield County
Auditor O'Brien in the tax-title record
against those who pursued relentless in
vestgatiOn of the workings of Mr.. O'Brien's
department. This man Ames made state
ment yesterday to the other candidates
while they were in secret session in Repub
lican headquarters to the effect that he
needed money if he had to beat Hendrck-
son, and he wanted money to buy the
French vote of Little Canada" He openly
asserted this insult, claiming his ability to
''buy the French like so many cattle" 1t
is only another illustration of the claims of
the Republican party. that it owns or
controls some nationalities, and can buy
all the rest except the American. and the
Republican party discovers its need of the
American only after the possibility of pur-
chasing all foreign born citizens has been
satisfactorily discussed.

No PROTECTION.

There isn't any room for the tariff to cut
a figure in the New York mayoralty con-
test, as all three of the candidates, HEW-
TIT. GEORGE and ROOSEVELT, are free
traders. In view of the fact that the great
metropolis of this country doesn't even feel
enough interest in protection to furnish
protection candidate for the chief magis-
tracy of the Empire city, it does look little
ridiculous to see Mr.. BLAINE prancing
around in Pennsylvania declaring that the
salvation of the country depends upon the
success of protective policy. The trouble
with Mr.. BLAINE is, he imagines he is
bigger than the nation.

to the Democratic federation that no pro-

lowed to pass through any street of the city

replied that it desired to know by what au-
thOrity the commissioner could prohibit a
legal and constitutional demonstration OF
working men. They also point out that
they have as much right to parade as any
other body of citizens. They strongly pro-
test against what they are advised is an
illegal and arbitrary attempt to interfere
with their privileges as English citizens. 1t

X ELLIS BOAST
That He Carries the Irish Vote in
His Pocket.

IAat RAe carries the Ote In
His Pocket.
M. J. Bell of the Sixth ward, was nomi-
mated for register Of deeds by the Republi-
can county convention because he had made
representations to his friends that he was an
Irishman of true Hibernian stamp, was a
member of all the Irish societies in the city.
and carried the Irish vote around in his
pocket; in short, that he
WAS THE BOSS
and the owner of the Independent Irishmen
of ST. Paul The convention concluded to
sacrifice Capt. r. c. Wiley, the present eff
ficient registrar. with this under
standing. that M. J. Bell would bring
over the Irish vote to the Republican party,
as he claimed he could. Wiley was better
man, and truer lrishman, but as he had
made no such boast, knowing well that
the Irish vote Of any community
can neither be bought nor made subServient
to the interests of any one man, he
was snubbed, and his respect for the Irish
men of this city was ignored, and the hon.
est public sentiment of every Irishman in
suited by the nomination of man who
openly boosted that he owned them and
could do as he pleased with them. Capt.
Bell was born in New England, and has no
more Irish blood in his veins than thousands
of young Irish-AmericanS who are tOiling
in the shops and manufactures of the ma
ton, and who have been ridiculed and
despised by the Republican party. 1t is
true that in Bells nomination is apparent
dawning upon the Republican mind of the
fact that the Irish vote is now worthy of
respect.
c. A. SandstrOm was nominated by
snubbing the wOrkingmen of the party.
They had candidate who was nearly the
unanimous choice of Republican laborers
In the same breath the Republican conven-
ton gave him and his friends the cold
shoulders and insulted the Scandinavians
of this county by giving them representa-
ton in the person of an obscurity, Sand
strom, who is conceded by his friends
TO BE INCOMPETENT,
as well as a poor illustration of what the
intelligent Scandinavians of st. Paul are.
But the convention had to do something
to work the Scandinavians, so the crowded
in Sandstrom. There were A. n. Nelson.
A. P. Croonquist, Joseph E. Osborn,
Herman Stockenstrom. A. w. Petren and
host of other capable Scandinavians,
whose friends are preparing to bury Mr..
Sandstrom during the early part of next
week. Previous to SandstrOms nominal
ton he had been harping upon the fact that
the Norwegians were all Democrats. and
he considered them as unworthy of repre-
sentation upon the county ticket: now he
was thrust forward as the candidate of the
Ramsey county NorwegianS. He had
maintained that the Swedish element was
jealous of the Norwegians, and he boosted
that he could show more intellect among the
fhor mi fri he
gians. The consequence of all this is that
both Soandina Wan alampnts feel Outra red

criminal lawyers in this city are ready at

upon Sheriff Richter. who now asks for the
votes of fair-minded Democratic Germans.
Other men are prepared to give testimony
to the effect that Sheriff Richter not long
ago locked man with delirium tremens in
cell, and left him locked up until he died,
and then Mr.. Richter kept the thing seci ct,
and very few knew there was corpse in
the county jail awaiting burial.

HOW THE BOSSES SEE 1T.

Senator SABIN is quoted by Republican
paper as predicting MCGILL's election and
saying that all this talk about rings and
monopolies amounts to nothing. That is
the way the ring bosses all talk. Senator
SABIN is VIGOROUSLY connected with ring
at Saltwater, and of course he is anxious
to have MCGILL elected. All this talk
about rings and monopolies amounts to
nothing in the estimation of Senator SABIN
and other ringsters, but it does amount to
something in the estimation of the voters
of this state. The result of next Tuesday,
election will show it.

HONORED PROPHETS.

Our Democratic prophets are not without
honor in their own country. The grand
reception given to Judge WILSON at his
first meeting in his own county and the
magnificent ovation to Mayor AMEs in his

McGuL's tame little affair down at ST.

neapolis. The Democratic leaders are
prophets whom the people delight to
honor.

BE ON GUARD.

In many counties of the state the Demo-
cratic organization is of comparatively re-
cent date. In some cases it has never yet
concerned itself with the management of
an election. The Republicans. on the other
hand, are old hands at election manipulate
ing; they know all the ropes, however de-
yious and twisted they may be. and in this
campaign especially will not hesitate to put
their knowledge to the utmost nnSsihle use.

THE NICHOLS FAMILY.
William A. Wants TO BE Clerk, wit
Dick Rall rs Deputy.

William A. Wants 10 Be Cherks with
Dick Beli as Deputy.
WA. Nichols is a candidate. Why?
Simply because he is the son OF his father.
Sam and Will had the thing fixed up be-
tween them. Father was to be clerk Of the
supreme court; Will to be clerk Of the Sec
ond Judicial district court. 1t was play
for more public fees-keeping the fee bust
ness in the family. Sam failed to get the
nomination for clerk of the supreme court.
1t made him hot. He swore he would cease
to work for the Republican party.
He had been a campaign organ
izer. The party could not do without
him. The only way to please him was to
give his son the nomination for clerk of
courts. The county Republicans had to do
it. They did it to keep the Nichols family
at work. They sighted George FL. Haz-
card, D. F. Reese. John W. Cathcart and
others. The disaffection that resulted from
this had been foreseen and, previous at
rangement bad been made with Dick Bell,
requiring him to do his utmost to secure
the Democratic nomination for register of
deeds, compact being made by which M.
j. Bell. the Republican candidate, was to
be his deputy, in case Dick was elected.
and vice versa. In the event of Dick Bell
failing to get that nomination he was to
run as an
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE

crusade against what the Republicans call
the 'city hall' gang, when they wish to
refer to Democratic officials who have
proved their capacity for Office by perform
ing their public duty to the fullest interest
of the public. This independent" bust
ness of Mr. Bell was really to be in the
interest of Mr.. Nichols who suggested
it. Mr.. Bells reward is to be a
deputyship under Mr.. Nichols if both of
them can defeat Mr.. O'Connor. The thing
is so openly known that Dick Bell, his
brother Joe. j. C.. Mccarthy and County
Auditor O'Brien constitute the entire indie
pendent movement Mr.. O'Brien, despite
his tax-title record, was inundated and
bulldozed into it. The whole matter of
the independent movement is the result of
the candidacy Of Mr.. Nichols and fulfill
ment of prearranged compact between
him and Mr.. Bell.
