MR.. JANNEY INDORSED. Il
r. B. Janney, the retiring police COM
missioner, has received an Endorsement.
1t comes from his business associates
and personal friends through the
jobbers' association, whose lndlgna-
ton, it would appear, has been
award by the rough manner in which
his name has been jostled around by
the newspapers and the friends Of as
piring candidates for the vacancy which
his retirement creates. Last evening he
was summoned to the meeting OF the
jObberS' association, and two large
Undiscovered boxes containing elegant
sets of table ware in solid silver were
placed on President Clerihew's desk.
Maj. W. NJ. Kegan then stepped for
ward and fired the following volley,
point blank:
Mr.. President, with your permission,
before you proceed to the regular busl-
ness of this meeting, will endeavor to
discharge the duties OF a task that is
both pleasant and in manner an I'M
pleasant one, that has been assigned TO
me by number OF gentlemen, some OF
whom are unayOidably absent ana
whom / must represent to the best OF
my poor ability. This task is pleasant
one because it is one into which can
enter with all my heart; pleasant, be-
cause it enables me to TESTIFY
in a public manner the high
esteem in which / hold a gentleman
whom we are all happy to call our
friend. 1t is unpleasant only because
feel and realize how incapable l am TO
fully and properly express and convey
the sentiments of high regard and good
will of the large number OF gentlemen,
whose spokesman l am, to MIR. I. d.
Janney. l wish it were possible to
repeat here the many emphatic ex-
pressiOns of approval of Mr.. Janney's
course as public official; the many eX-
pressions of good will and earnest
thanks to him for the fight he has made
for law and order and a clean ad-
government in this city. 1t was con-
slant source of qualification to be met SO
cordially in the matter by all whom we
approached and to be hidden God
speed you so frequently in the short
time we were out. The words OF one
gentleman must suffice to show the feel
ing of all. He said: 81 never SUB
scribed to any public document before
with half the the pleasure with which L
put my name here" This is neither
the time nor place to ''cuss" Ser
discuss partisan politics for this testl-
monial comes from Democrats and Ne
publicans, from ProhibitiOnists and
from high license people. from Blame
ties and anti-Blaineites. and II the
animal grew in the glorious North
west L am sure we would nave
a Mugwump to add his quota OF respect
for Mr.. yanney. Circumstances over over
which we have no present control have
placed number of men in control OF the
city council of this city who seem
to have use for different kind OF a
man than Mr.. Janney. 1t is possible
that his days in the thankless office OF
police commissioner are numbered, put
he can retire with the conscious
ness of duty well done and
with the very best wishes of vast ma
jority of the people of this city whose
hands and hearts and p0cketb0okS
have never been found wanting
when Minneapolis called for help.
am confident he accepted the position
only at the urgent solicitation OF many
men whose interests depend on the wei
fare of this city, and if he desires TO
retire, he will take with him the thanks
of all good citizens whose interests he
guarded and maintained.
Mr.. Janney, the intrinsic value OF
these articles is trif1ing. but the
respect and friendship witch they bring
with them are bOundless. We trust you
will accept them for the sentiments
they convey, and that in them and in
the memories that may surround them,
you will find voices that speak louder
than the filings of partisan press OF the
disappOinted barkings of lot OF very
light draught politicians.
Mr., Janney responded very briefly
and mOdestly, simply saying that he
was more than pleased to receive such
beautiful gift from his friends, but fur
Their than expressing his appreciation OF
the honor done he had nothing to say.
Capt. j. n. Cross, who was present by
invitation, paid a tribute to MIR. jan
ney's high character, and expressed re-
greet at his retirement. Capt. Gilmore
said he was Democratic mug,
wump. Mr.. Janney had valued
principle above partisanship and
in his course had broug mt upon himself
the enmitv of some, but had earned the
appreciation of the better classes OF peo-
pie. President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Byron also added few
pleasant words of compliment to
Mr.. Janney, who received the cOmpli-
ments showered upon him with no little
embarrassment, seemed to dislike any
thing in the way of fulsOme praise, and
the association took up its course of
natural business.
A REPUBLICAN VOUCHES FOR HIM.
The friends of q. w. Morey seem de-
termined to make out certificate of
good character for him as Democrat,
and the following communication has
been handed in:
EDITOR GLOBE: 1t has been brought
to nv notice that some were questioning
the fact of George M. Morey's being
Democrat from the fact that he served
as Republican Judge OF election in
November 1856. This is an injustice to
Mr.. Morey, and as he is a candidate for
police commissioner | will state the
facts and thus remove the preju-
working under double role.
was appointed judge of election and
served one day in registering, when, on
notice of only two hours, l was called
away from the city on business requir-
ing my immediate attention. During
this time saw Mr.. MOrey. and, know
ing him to be a competent man,as per-
sonal favor to me, got him to take my
place and act as judge. knew he was
Democrat at the time, but also knew
he would not be biased in Judgment
in any manner. So if his doing per-
! sonal' favor to me has placed him
in position to cause him any trouble
in securing position that he now de-
Sires, deem it my duty to offer this ex-
PLANTATION.
He has ALWAYS been known and recog-
