SIMON j. AHERN-Although [ sup
ported BLAINE in the last election and
have always been consistent Repub-
Ican, must confess that do not see
how we can beat GROVER CLEVELAND
in the next campaign and with the
stand he has taken in regard to the
tariff. For that is to be the main ques-
ton, and the people demand that some
acton shall be taken to relieve them of
the burden imposed by the necessities
OF war. Take a case of cigarmaker
that know in this city. He turns out
probably hundred or two hundred
cigars day, and must pay a tax upon
these products which the government
does not need, and is merely going into
the treasury TO help make the poor man
poorer Any relief that the Democrats
can afford from this evil will be gladly
hailed by the people, and they will sup
port their deliverers at the polls unless
am very much mistaken. The recent
congressional election in Michigan is
straw Indicative of public sentiment in
this direction, and it can not be ignored
by the Republicans that they will not
have walkoverin the election to be held
In Minnesota this year. [ do not take any
Gen. t. ii. SHERIDAN by the Repub-
licans, nor would | vote for him under
any circumstances. 1t is time that we
ceased hero worship and elected men
to the offices who will represent and
faithfully protect the interests of the
people. Hence [ repeat it, | do not
Know OF man in the Republican party
who can defeat GROVER CLEVELAND.

there may not be many new lines con-
strncted, many of those already in Oper-

syndicate, with Banker RIfAWN at its

HIIL, of the Manitoba road, also has
plans under consideration that will give
his line increased facilities for trans
portation, and his latest enterprise will
be continuation of the line from

Mayor Smith.
Hon. ROBERT A. SMITH-The move
ment looking to the establishment of an
athletic park in st. Paul has my I'M
qualified approval aud Endorsement,
and | shall further the enterprise by
every means possible. Already [ have
been approached on the subject by some
OF the best men in the city. who see in
the new park an opportunity for the en-
cOuragement of outdoor sports, such as
base ball, cricket, lacrosse, bicycling
and kindred amusements, all having a

young men. 1t is the intention of those
having the matter in charge to make
arrangements second to no other city in
the United States for the accommodate
ton OF large crowds, and if we can Sc
cure the site that we are after, it will
not be ten minutes walk from the bust
ness center of the city. Extra facilities
will be offered by the motor line and
street car companies for the tranSporta-
ton OF passengers. and the grand stand
to be erected will be modelled after the
one at the state fair grounds, only it
will be an Improvement upon that
structure. Besides the creation of
new park the property will be a good
investment for. the stockholders, and
the price at which it has been offered is
very reasonable. Inside of five years
it will be worth double what we will
have to pay for it now, and it could be
held for that period without any i'm
provement whatever and benefit all in
tereSted.
