REPUBLICANS ARE UNEASY
Still Cropping in Search of an Eaves-
dr0pper.
AN OLD-TIME DEMOCRAT.
A Personal Canvass from House to
House by an Ambitious Office
Seeker.

Like the letter that never came; like
Tascott, the supposed murderer of the
Chicago millionaire; or like the gentle
man who. in the prehistoric ages,
struck Billy Patterson, the dlStin-
guished unknown who overheard the
convers ltion between MeSsrS. Libby
and NorriSh failed to materialize yes
terday, and it is doubtful if he be in
deco a creature of flesh and blood. 1t
is certain that his identity was
not revealed. The affidavit which was
to have been brought forward as guar
antee of good faith was not produced.
a morn ng paper of yesterday affected
an air of indifference, and took about
three-quarters of column to prove that
the bolt was too insignificant to be
worthy of more than passing notice. 1t
is but Just to assume that the relative
weight of the action of Dakota county
Republicans was commensurate win
the length and heavinesS of the article
in question. and lnferentlally, that IL
was 50 regarded in the Republican
camp.
Those interested seem disposed to be-
little the importance of producing the
man who had such an important secret
locked within the corporate limits of his
vitals, and for the nOnce confined them
selves to vague generalitieS and state
ments to the effect that they could and,
under certain favorable conditions,
would produce both man and affidavit.
But, meanwhile, the bolt still StareS
the Republican state central committee
in the face. and is a constant menace to
both Donnelly and Merriam as far as
Dakota county is concerned.

Defeated But HannY.

Gen. G. L. Becker. of the state rail
road commission, was in reminiscent
mood yesterday. Thirty years ago"
he said, "as the Democratic nominee l
ran for governor of this state, but was
beaten by Gov. Ramsey. He secured a
majority of about 200. | was twenty
eight years of age at the time, and
heartily enjoyed the campaign. There
were no railroads in those days, and all
my travelling was done IN buggy. By
that means took in all the Southern
portion of the state, addressed the peo-
pie at every available point, and hus-
tied around generally. 1t suited me,
and, though defeated, look back to
that time with some degree of pleasure.
l have occupied many of the smaller
offices in the gift of the people, and
have been elected to congress, though
did not serve"

Election Districts and Polling
Places Changed by the Council.
By request Of the Democratic and Re
publican county central committees, a
special meeting of the board of alder
men was held yesterday afternoon to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of rearranging
several polling places in the Ninth and
First wards. The Seventh district of
the Ninth ward is in the district in
which F. c. Stevens is candidate for
the legislature, and the Sixth district OF
the same ward is in John s. GrOte's dis
trict. Under the original division Of
the ward voters of the Seventh district
would be compelled to go into the Sixth
district to vote, and as these districts
are in different legislative districts. two
ballot boxes would be required, which
might result in much confusion:
Changes of a like nature were also found
necessary in the First ward. The alder
men present were MeSsrs. BlOm, Book,
Cullen, Fischer, Gehan, Hamm. Lett
hauser. Melady, Pratt, Weber, YOerg,
and President Bickel. There were also
present as representatives of the cOun-
" committees c. T. I-ienau, Z. E. Nc
Donald and Stanford Newell.
On motion of Aid. Gehan the vote
was recOnsidered by which the Ordin-
ance was passed creating the Fifth and
Sixth districts in the Ninth ward and
the First and Second districts of the
First ward.
Following the repeal of this ordinance,
a resolution, which was subsequently
adopted, was introduced by Aid. Gehan
providing that the Judges of election
named to serve in the Fifth district of
the Niuth ward he the judges of cleo
ton in the Sixth district of said ward;
and that the Judges for the Sixth dis
trict of the said ward be the judges for
the Fifth district. Voting places in the
Ninth ward were changed as follows:
Seventh district, to 1347 Rice street,
near the Northern Pacific tracks; Fifth
district, to SO Rice street, and the
Sixth district, to the northeastern corner
of Gunther and Cortland streets. The
judges of the Eighth district of the
Eighth ward were authorized to act as
judges of the Seventh precinct of the
Ninth ward.
On motion of Aid. Blom it was de-
cided that the judges of the First dis
trict of the First ward should be the
judges of the Second district OF said ward,
and that the Judges of the Second dis
trict act as judges of the First district.
Also that the voting place of the First
district be established at 621 Lafayette
avenue, and that the Second district OF
the First ward should be changed to the
northeast corner of Mississippi and
Thirteenth streets.
A resolution was passed authorizing
an order to be drawn on the city
treasurer in favor of l.. w. Rundlett,
city engineer. for $1,000 to cover the
expense of completing the unfinished
portion of the Maryland street grading

to the Hioneer Press for publication. his

leading papers of our great city, for the
growth and development of which they have
ever so earnestly labored and the untarnlshed
name Of which is TO them 1 source OF greatest

so unfair and so utterly ipdefensible.

cry to overflOwing. Edward Ryan, his
client. who was sentenced to three
years Imprisonment in the penitentiary,

An Active canvass

target for the ill-natured abuse of
morning paper, is making an active
personal canvass throughout the entire

ward. and, casting aside conventional
ties, made himself known to each indi-

house and became personally known to
each taxpayer. He has paid his assess

bitterly reSents the efforts which are
made to club him OFF the. county ticket.

tor at Ada and Warren.

Supt. Kiehle, of the state department
of public instruction, returned yester-
day from a visit to Ada and Warren,
where teachers institutes are being
held. Mr.. Kiehle delivered addresses
on educational topics at each place,
though under circumstances of some
what novel character. He visited Ada
Wednesday and found the Prohibition
lists had taken the town by force, Hugh
Harrison. the cold water candidate for
governor, being announced to address
a meeting of electors in the evening.
Prof. Kiehle therefore spoke IN the
afternoon. but at Warren his address
was delivered under still more singular
auspices. Hon. Ignatius DOnnelly and
Hon. Herman Stockenstrom had been
announced to speak there Thursday
night, so they consented to give Supt.
Kiehle half an hour in which to interest
the people on matters pertaining to
education.

Warm for the Milwaukee Road.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The omens por-
tend that in the case of very few days
there will be a big litigation set afoot
between the United States Express
company and the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway company. Some
time ago the road declared its intention
of transferring the business OF its en-
tire system from the United States Elk
press company to the Adams Express
company. This has now been done and
the Adams Exgress company will pro-
coed to handle its newly acquired terri
tory on the 18th of the coming month.
But it appears that there is, or will be,
one year of the contract possessed by the
United States Express unexpired when
the new incumbent begin their duties.
and the fact that the railway company
ignores this unexpired term is the base
of the action at Law that now threatens.
