lively repeated his statement that he was
not candidate for denomination. and
remarked that it was strange that men
could and would take his word for any
thing in business matters but not in politics.
The contest he thought, between Herbert
and Reed would be about even, with eX-
Marshal Denny a close third. Il Judge, -

was satisfied with the outcome of the Re-
publican state convention, but he comedies
that MiloWhite was fairly nominated when
out of the II votes, Mr.. White received 80,

Judge Mcdonald was in the rotunda also,

unwilling to fight against Mr.. Herbert, who

The Young Mems republican Club
will Take a Hand in the Game
This Season.
The organization christened the Young
Mems Republican club met in its rooms on
East Third street last night. The mem
bers turned out pretty strong,
and INDUCED in babel of oratory
until bad blood was stirred up and the
hands of the clock pointed TO a few min
utes after II p. m. After six new mem
bers were permitted to join the society,
Messrs. L. 7. Fauntleroy and S.
A. Phillips. of the committee to
arrange for ratification meeting
submitted a report, to the effect that d
meeting would be held in Market hall on
Saturday night, at which eX-Gov. G. K.
Davis. Gov. l.. f. Hubbard. Gov. Alex
ander Ramsey, Hon. Albert Scheffer, Col.
S. Ham Davidson, Hon. Moses E. Clapp,
of Fergus Falls, DR.. j. Ii. Murphy and
Major T. w. NewsOn were to take the plat
form, to be followed by ten-minute speeches
from James SchOonmaker. G. A. Sand
strom, Henry Johns, G. Ill. Fauntleroy, III.
l.. Williams, G.. A. Severance and Capt
Joseph Burger, of the club. The report also
makes S. A. Phillips chairman of the meeting.
For the reason that Booth was to play
here Saturday night, the date was changed
to Tuesday evening, and for the reason
that Market hall would be too large for the
audience. Pfeifer's hall was substituted for
Market hall. An attempt to get some one
else than Mr.. Phillips to preside
over the meeting failed. A resolu
ton by c. A. Sandstrom ''re-
questing that the Young Mems Republican
club be given representation on the county
ticket" and asking that it be ALLOWED
twenty delegates in the coming cOnven-
tion." threw the club into executive session
on motion by Mr.. Phillips. When the re-
porters were excluded the club soon devel-
oped into mob. over which Mr.. SandstrOm
endeavored good naturally to preside. Out
of the ENHANCEMENT these resolutions are
brought to light;
RESOLUTIONS.
By Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING all the can
didates so far nominated. and plelging the
club to do everything to secure the nomina-
ton and election of Ramsey county repre-
sentatives favorable to Q. K. Davis for United
States senator.
By Henry Johns-A resolution for repre-
sentation in the convention, the number Of
delegates being lessened by Judge Schoon-
maker to ten and the whole matter being laid
upon the table by motion OF Fred u. 1ngef-
soil.
By Mr.. Sandstrom-A resolution recon-
mending the candidacy of H. L. Williams,
secretary of the club for judge of probate,
which was afterward tabled.
Several unimpOrtant matters were at
tended to, and eventually committee, COLI
sisting of w. J. Freaney, Henry Johns and
G. A. Severance, was appointed
to confer with subcommittee
of the county committee, as to the mat
ter of representation. This committee will
report to the club Thursday evening, Sept
3d. A brass band and the Republican
glee club" is to accompany the ratification
meeting.

Good Performance by a Good Com
pany al the Grand Last Night.
"Mixed Pickles. deserves all the good words
that have been said and written about it. 1t
is good, honest comedy of the cleanest sort,
full of humor, satire, wit and fun, yet en-
tirely devoid of the coarseness and absurd
knock-about style now in vogue and denOm1-
mated farcia comedy 1t is three-act farce
in which the interest is made to depend upon
cleverly arranged incidents rather than
upon any well defined plot. But
the incidents are genuinely funny and follow
each other in such quick succession and with
such brisk action that it may be called
comedy in one continuous laugh And the
company is just as clever as the play, not a
member of it but is thoroughly adapted to his
or her part. j. B. Polk takes the leading
part as Joseph Pickles, man of the period
who delights in the frOlics Of bachelorhood
and in endless practical jokes. Mr.. Polk is
d streak of voluble mischief and keeps the
fun going. He does a piece of fine artistic
work where he changes from the
harum-scarum Joseph TO the Sc
date Arthur, his facial expression being
such as only well trained actor and one of
ability could accomplish. Alexander Vim
cent shares the hOnorS with Mr.. Polk. He
takes the part of Hiram Brown, the honored
head of family, who is inclined to be fast
and naughty, just as naturally as if he had
grown into 1t. 1t is splendid part ana ME-.
Vincent fits it like custom made boot. In
every movement, speech and play of feature
he is perfect. Miss Julia Polk, who is very
pretty woman as well as an excellent vocalist.
takes the part of Cherry Brown. When COM
pared with the other parts which
develop so much uprOarous fun, it
seems that she plays it rather too
conventionally, although she displays the
qualities of good actress. Her waltz song
in the second act is a success. Mr.. Milton
Rainford had splendid makeup, as Deacon
Jordan, and Mr.. J. w. Parker, the sedate
movements of the sure-enough parson. Miss
Rouse as Mrs. Hiram helped the fun along
capitally. Miss Fanny Burt, in the character
of Lucinda Sniggins, the old maid and village
gossip, created plenty Of merriment, while
Miss Mamie COtter was pert, saucy and
pretty in the part of Susie, the maid of all
work. A very good-sized audience witnessed
the play and laughed and applauded inces-
sanity throughout the performance. The
play will be repeated tonight and tomorrow
night. The sale of reserved seats for the
Edwin Booth engagement commences this
morning. with q prospect for big rush. The
Booth repertoire is: Thursday, "Richelieu;"
Friday, ''Fools REVENGE matinee, Ham

With Due FOrnnalities the Hen.

First Time.
The new school house, which is one OF

formally dedicated yesterday afternoon
with speeches, music and crowd OF West
side citizens The programme was opened
by welcoming speech to those in attend
ance by Mr.. Berlandi. vice president OF the

orchestra, Contractor Fletcher formally
presented the KEYS of the building to Arch
itect CANCER with appropriate remarks,
who was directed by Inspector POStleth-
waite. chairman of the building committee,
to examine the building and ascertain If
completed according 10 specifications. The
architect reported Immediately and, OF
course, favOrably, and presented the keys to
Nh. POStlethwaite. who in turn transferred
them to Mr.. Berlandi as the representative
OF the school board. The members OF the
school board and all present then marched
over the building and inspected it for them
selves while the band played. Returning,
Mr.. BeTandi formally placed the building In
charge of the committee on schools, to which
Chairman Gilbert responded, accepting the
trust only long enough to pass it over to

few remarks to the children. and was fol-
lowed by Supt Taylor who addressed the

LECTURED BY MIR. PRINCE.

The Ex-7EayOr Says the Board OF
Public works Does Too Much
work.
The routine work of the board of public
works was enlivened yesterday by Hon.
John S. Prince, who read the board lee
ture on its duties He had come there to be
heard in the matter of changing the grade
of Robert street, approaching the new
bridge. and when asked if he could come
Wednesday evening, replied that he pre-
ferred day work; that he could stand 1t to
work ten hours a day, but at night he
liked to rest. President Barrett remarked,
in humorous tone: Then you wouldn't
do for a member of this board" MI. Prince
retOrted: s'Ive been a member of this board
and the work was in better condition
then than it is now" This started the
ball rolling, and when Mr.. Barrett suggested
that there was more work now than then,
Mr.. Prince replied that the board did more
than it ought to. Mr.. Barrett seemed to
think this reflection on the board and re-
piled that the work was all necessary, but
Mr.. Prince thought otherwise. and said:
When you order wooden sidewalk down
in October. 1885, and in May, 1886, order it
up and that a stone sidewalk be laid, it makes
work.
Both Mr.. Barrett and Gen. Becker en-
pbaUically denied that the board ever did
this, and laid the blame on the council. Mr..
Prince said-Mhen he was member of the
board it was accustomed to report matters
back to the council occasionally. and he
had himself stopped nine sidewalk orders
in one day, having discovered that mem
Der of the board was trying to get himself
elected to the legislature by means OF them.
He claimed that it was the boards duty, if
the council made a mistake in these mat
tiers to call attention TO it, and not let it go
right through unnoticed. Members Of the
board said the law had been changed and
they had no jurisdiction on sidewalk orders.
and Mr. Barrett took the opportunity to
reply to MI. Prince on behalf of the board.
Mr.. Prince was good natured about it, but
when he said: You drew me into this; l
came here for something else," Mr.. Barrett
denied having drawn him into it.
