1T is SIGNIFICANT.
The Chances Are Bright for a Con-
tinuance Of the Party in Power.


The day is significant. The fate of
good city government depends upon the
issue.
Every Democratic voter should make
1t his first business of the day to put
ballot in the bOX-the one printed at the
head of this column.
Don't allow business to enter YOUR
head until you have voted the straight
Democratic ticket.
Vote the straight Democratic ticket!
The candidates are we'll known to a
man. They are men of well established
character, unaSSailable honesty and un-
questioned ability, to whom the affairs
OF government may safely be entrusted.
They belong to the party that has been
in power in st. Paul during all the re-
cent years of its phenomenal growth.
The administration has been wise, and
paid strict attention to the needs and
interests of the city, Prominent Re
publicans say that st. Paul is en- owing
the best city government it has ever
known. and as good as that of the best
governed cities in the Union.
If every Democrat attends to his duty
and votes the chances are bright this
morning that the Democratic party will
becontinued in power, as it should be.
Vote The straight Democratic ticket.
The administration can in no way be
assailed, nor can the candidates for this
election. Not a single charge or speci-
tication has been laid at their door.
Every attempt has been made to find
something to charge them with only to
reSultin complete, lgnOminous failure,
and the
ASSAULTS OF THE HIRELINGS
of the Republican party have resolved
themselves into the old cry of fraud"
1t is the moSs-grown Republican chest
nut and counts for nothing. Even those
misguided ones who raised the cry of
fraud quietly sneaked into their holes
after the first outbreak, and remained
concealed for fear the reaction might
result disaStrously to them. A ticket
like the one at the head of this column
is seldom seen i'll any city.
Vote the straight Democratic ticket!
Every good citizen, unless he be
rank, 'unyielding partisan, has nothing
but praise for the administration and
the candidates on the Democratic ticket.
Ne good Democrat, or conservative Re
publican for that matter, will allow a
gang of men to step in power about
whom he knows absolutely nothing and
with whose methods he is entirely un-
acquainted.
The campaign is over. The candi-
dates have labored hard and faithfully
and are deserving of the success in
dicated at this hour. They will get it if
every Democrat takes prompt advantage
of his right to vote and votes the
straight Democratic ticket!
Many spurious tickets have been
scattered amongst the voters.
Democrats, examine your tickets
carefully before you
PUT THEM IN THE BOX
and do not allow the minions of the Re-
publican party to IN any way influence
your right OF suffrage. Study the ticket
at the head of this column. 1t would be
credit to any city in America.
Don't scratch your ticket! Vote it
straight! If you vote for this ticket you
vote for men you know. You know how
efficient the Democratic administration
has been heretofore, and you cannot
afford to take any chances 10y voting for

ABOUT DISCOURAGED.
The Republican City Committee
Yves DemOraliZed Yesterday,

YVES DemOral1Zed eSterday.
The Republican city committee, after
carefully looking over the ground, prac-
tically gave up the fight yester-
day. To a GLOBE reporter they
gave it out that they expected
nine out of the seventeen aldermen.
In discussing the situation amongst
themselves. they said they would con-
some even drew the figure down to
four. The secret of the matter is that
they lacked solid organization, and the
big guns they fired Off early in the day
failed to reach the mark.
they had hoped to elect John Roche,
put felt rather weary when they found
the wOrkingmen solidly against him and
in favor of Daily.
So far as Mr.. Thauwald was con-
cerned, they recognized the fact that
George Reis' record, personal popularity
and strong German support would carry
him through easily.
Coleman FlahertY, in the Second, ,hav-
ing the united support of the working
men, was recognized as solid.
Pat COnley was conceded as solid in
the Third, likewise Pat Kavanagh in
the Fourth, Some conceded that Will
lam BanholZer was winner in the
Fifth, and some had hopes for Mr.. Book.
Recognizing the fight that Bryant and
Berlandi were making against each
other in the Sixth, they conceded plain
sailing for Melady.
The Seventh having no Democratic
candidates., of course, sure to elect Aid.
Sanborn. They figured that Henry
Weber would come through in the
Eighth, though they recognized
that Joseph Matz was making
big fight, and would poll
a heavy vote. Some were rash
enough to claim that Schneider
would defeat John Gehan in the
Ninth, but those who had looked the
ground over recognized the kick
amongst the Scandlnavians there and
conceded Gehan's election. In the
Tenth. Republican ward, they
had hopes of electing Pratt,
though knowing that there were
SO many independent candidates in
the field, conceded that Adams had a
good fighting chance.
In the Eleventh they said they were
sure to elect ID. w. Sullivan.
Their forces were demoralized, and
the most they could do was to hire a few
carriages and cry fraud.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS.
They Will Capture the Wisconsin
State Convention.

SCaCc convention.
Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, April 30.-The Demo
cratic state convention to elect dele
gates to the national convention at St.
Louis meets here at noon tomorrow.
about one-third of the delegates are in
the city tonight, and considerable RI
valry between candidates for the St.
Louis convention is being carried on in
the hotel rOtundaS. Among the dele
gates who have as yet arrived in the
city the predominance of young
men is decidedly noticeable. The
old Stand-bys, who always attend
the state conventions are here as a
matter of course, but the great bulk is
made of men who never attended con-
ventiOn before, or at least few compared
to the convention of young Repub-
licans," the really young men of that
concern are Outnumbered ten to one, a
fact which the Republican managers
will undoubtedly relist. The state CEN
tral committee held a meeting at the
Park hotel tonight. The committee
decided upon II. B. Dodge, of Racine,
for temporary chairman, and j. Il.
Kingston, Jr., of Ashland, for tempo
rary secretary of the convention.
brief set of resolutions in
dorsing Cleveland and his attitude ON
the tariff were adopted and will be sub
mltted to the convention. John l..
Mitchell, of Milwaukee, was elected a
member of the national committee, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Secretary Villas. A resolution
was adopted to be submitted to the con-
vention, by which the present state
committee virtually resigns and asks
the convention to elect new commit
tee to serve until January, 1891. The
most prominent candidates for delegates
at large mentioned tonight are James
G. Jenkins, of Milwaukee; George w.
Bird, of Madison; S. III. Seaman, of She
boygan; Il. w. Pratt. of Oshkosh. Gill
bert M. Woodward, of La Crosse, was
considered to be sure of going as one of
the delegates until tonight, when
he telegraphed Chairman Usher
his withdrawal in favor of Sena-
tor D. A. Macdonald. There is
a strong sentiment still existing, how
ever, for Woodward, and he may be
elected in spite of his withdrawal
With regard to district delegates mat
ters are very much mixed. About
every district has five or six candidates
waiting to have to-mOrrow's May
baskets hung on their doors, and it is
impossible to predict OH whom the on
ors will fall until the rest of the dele
gates get in. The convention will be
enthusiastic for Cleveland, and will
probably be the largest-attended Demo-
cratic convention ever held in WIscon-
sin. The large number of young men
present is significant in the face of the
desperate efforts of the Wisconsin Re-
publcanS to corral the ''kids" and their
fold.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, April S0.-The
| Chippewa river here is almost at a
standstill tonight, near the eighteen
foot mark, with signs of subsiding grad
ually. Well-posted lumbermen believe
there will be no higher water, though
the river will be too high for safety for
several days. The damage is small in
the destruction of property compared
with the stoppage of business. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Valley
division below Eau Claire suffers two or
three weeks additional loss of business.
A train is cut off at Careyville by a
washOut in front and rear. The saw
mills and iron works cannot start for
some time. A few inches more would
shut down the city water works. About
200 dwellings and business houses are
flooded here. The hundred or more
families who have been driven from
their houses are still afraid to move
back. About $1,000 worth of lumber in
RATS has been carried away, but some
of it will probably be recovered. The
Empire Lumber company lost guam
tity of lumber last night. The gas
works are surrounded by water. The
streets on each side of the Chippewa
and the approaches of three bridges are
flooded and impossible. At Porter
vile, the little village below this city,
seventy-five families were driven out by
the food, and are quartered in the school
houses, the farm houses and in the city.
