Them.

in the local Republican camp, and al
though they have not big majority to
them they sometimes get their work in
where it is least expected. And these
workers are mostly young men OF good
education, and are recognized lights OF
their professions. The bar has greater
representation among them than any
other profession. A few dabble IN real
estate, and one or two find their efforts
in life required in other departments of
money getting.
Darius F. Reese is a lawyer, genius
and an orator. He is a native OF ILL
nois, proud of both his native state and
his adopted one. He is a young. man
although well matured in experience,
and his features and complexion are
distinctly American, Mr.. Reese was
very active in the Blaine campaign OF
1854, and this year he will probably go
upon the state stump in the interests OF
his party. AS a speaker he is enthusl-
astic, vigorous and polished, capable OF
figures and metaphors pleasant to the
ear, and with dramatic bearing about
him which is quite natural.
Henry Johns is only twenty-nine
years old this presidential year, but he
is power in the party. he also adorns
the bar-the legal bar. He is New
Yorker, we'll educated, bright, witty,
but not too demonstrative in manner,
and trifle prosy on the platform. lie
came up to St. Paul from Red wing
only a few years ago. =,
Fred j. Ingersoll is nice young fel-
low and he may very properly be called
a .'silk stocking" An apt young law
yer and son of one of the wealthiest and
oldest settlers of st. Paul, he finds life,
if not politics, a pathway streWn with
roses
WITHOUT THE THORNS.
He is a st. Paul boy by birth. MIR. In
gersoll's talents are mostly directed TO
committee work.
James Schoonmaker, the president OF
the Young Mems Republican club, and
the candidate of the Democratic party
for associate Justice of the municipal
court, is highly polished, well-learned
young gentleman of the modern type
of lawyer and judge. He is very unob-
trusive in manner. He has alreaay
served upon the municipal bench. Mi.
Shoemaker is bright-eyed brunette.
w. j. Freaney is Hoosler. he Is
also a plumber, and one OF the pest OF
them. Mr.. Freaney is identified as
master plumber with the Contractors
and Builders association. He is stout
little man, with pleasant face and adj
dress. Like Henry Johns he is inclined
to the blonde type of beauty.
Stanford Newell everybody knows:
He is one of those wealthy members OF
the bar who do not have to seek bust
ness. for it comes to him, still he is in
variably out of his Office and upon the
door is always pinned scrap OF paper
announcing that Mr.. Newell will be back
at such a time and on such a day.
Stanford Newell is the
REPUBLICAN BOSS OF RAMSEY COUNTY.
He was born in Rhode Island. is
graduate of Yale, and is now luxurlatlng
in the prime of his life, wealth., the
Minnesota club and state politics.
George G.. Squires is little worker
from way back, and is associated with
Judge G. E. Flandrau in the legal pro-
fession. He is the very opposite In per-
sonal appearance to Fred IngersOll, for
Fred is bleached blonde, tall and
stately. George is energetic in every
thing, whether it be business or politics.
Will Nichols knows more men IN
Ramsey county than any other politician
in the city in the Republican ranks.
He and his father, Samuel II. Nichols,
are two of the best political wire-pullers
in the county. They came to St. Paul
from Fergus Falls and they held down
the supreme court clerks Office for
years. They were knocked out by the
McGill men in 1886, but they still have
lots of friends.
Cordenia A. Severance, the dark
haired young partner OF Senator Davis
and Frank Kellogg, was born in this
state in Mantorville. He probably, on
account OF his active canvass for CuSh
Davis in the last campaign, knows more
Mr.. Severance is rising young man.
H. L. Williams is j0lly-lOOking
young lawyer who seems to have a nice
time OF it. He does great deal OF nice,
quiet legal work when nobody is look
ing on.
Sam Gilbert is vigorous and under
rated young man, who is just serving
out period of apprenticeship to poll
tics, but he is learning fast.
Richard Lehman must not be over
looked, although he is a deScendent of
some noble Teutonic family of the
Rhine. He dabbles in real estate, and
can count up snug little fortune.
ii. B. Willis is, like the Nicholses, a
born politician. In fact, he is probably
the sharpest wire-puller the Republi-
cans can boast CT. He was sharp enough
to get the fat snap of state oil inspector:
but he probably deserved it, for he sac
rifced all his business interests for pol
itics.
Capt. Ed S. Bean is the little ener-
getic, popular young commander of the
famous Company d. He does not do
very much in politics now, although he
will probably get his hand in before the
campaign is over.
