Western appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1885-18??, 1888-09-22

The congressional convention of the
Fourth MINES ota district which met
at Anoka Tuesday to nominate a re-
publican candidate for congress did it's
work we'll. The result was as we'll
known before as after the convention
and Capt. Samuel P. Snider of Henne-
pin county was chosen. But for the
fact that Ramsey county had deter
mined to compliment Judge Rea the
nomination would have been made
unanimously by reclamation. However
after the first ballot which stood 76 for
Snider and 90 for Rea, Hon. Albert
Schefter, of the Ramsey delegation,
moved that the nomination be made
unanimous, which was done with a
hearty good will. The canvass of Capt.
Snider has been manly, dignifed one
and the convention which nominated
him was the most harmonious one
which was ever held in the district.
The honor Capt. Snider covets is no Or
binary one, as this district is the largest
and richest in the United States and
therefore must be especially important
from a partisan standpoint. In the
natural order of things the district
ought to be represented by republic
can and not as it is now by democrat,
although that democrat be the embodi-
ment of all the good qualities possible
for democrat to possess. Two yesrs ago
the republican candidate for the posi-
ton was not the unanimous choice of
the voters of the party, and lie did not
possess the attractive qualities that are
a necessity for success. In the present
nominee the objectional attributes of
the last republican candidate are re-
placed by all those that attract men
and make the success of their possessor
doubly certain. The present incum-
bent while making very acceptable
officer in most respects, always voted
with his party upon party measures and
measures affecting the nations interests
and therefore he did not fairly repre-
sent the wishes of majority of his
constituents respecting these measures.
AS the WESTERN APPEAL is the only
organ Of the Colored people in the
great Northwest it becomes it's duty to
try to point out the way for the people
to go, in this particular Hon. Edmund
Rice is again the democratic candidate
for congress in opposition to Capt. Sni-
der. We know that the Colored peo-
pie of this district feel kindly toward
him for the recognition he gave them
while he was mayor of st. Paul and we
KNOW tnaC numDer or them showed
their gratitude by working and voting
for him two years ago. To this showing
of gratitude We offer 10 objection, for a
lack Of gratitude in mankind is one of
the things that we most abhor, but
debt of gratitude like any other obi
cation, can be paid, and does not run on
and on ad in finitum. During the past
four years since the country has been
under democratic control the condition
of our brothers and sisters in the South
. has not been bettered but has steadily
grown worse, and no heed has been
taken to their cries by the democrats in
congress. We should therefore use
or utmost endeavors to send men to
congress from whom we may at least
hope to secure some relief for our OPP

Street Car KickerS.

CHICAGO, October 3.-The north
side street car conductors and drivers
decided at o'clock this morning to
90 out on a strike next Saturday
morning. The vote by which the
strike was decided upon, was 400 to
20. The grievances of the men are
two-fold; they oppose the set car
system, and demand an increase of
wages. BY the set car system is
meant the schedule or time
table, of which the men claim
to be actually on duty for
thirteen hours, while they are
paid for Is hours work. These hours
work are changed until day, so
that they have no regular time for
sleeping or eating and their health is
consequently impaired. They de-
manp p cents an hour and an agree
ment that they shall not be compelled
to work more than 10 hours nor less
than hours. The day conductors,
drivers and gripmen employed on the
north side lines number about 700,
nearly 100 are employed on the west
side lines. Over two-thirds of the
city's population is dependent upon
these two systems for transportation
from their homes.

Found by a Diver.

San FRANCISCO, October 3.-Re-
Gently the Pacific Coast Steamship
company employed Victor Hinston, a
professional diver, at $50 per day, to
90 down and examine the Machinery
of the steamer City of Chester, which
was sunk in the waters of the Golden
Gate last August, by collision with
the Oceanic. The diver located the
vessel in fifty fathoms of water, cut in
two, as if by an immense saw.
While looking into the Storage,
the first thing that met his eyes was
the form of a man standing with dis
torted face and tongue hanging from
his mouth. The body was swollen to
twice its natural size. Going little
farther off, he saw another victim of
that wreck Oh his knees grasping the
third man around the waist. The
diver returned to the surface and re-
ported his discovery to the officers
but nothing could induce him to re-
turn to the wreck.

Minnie Maddern.

New York Daily News.
The Bijou opera house was packed
to the doors last evening, the occasion
being the return of Miss Madden
from her successful California tour,
and temperance in Mr.. Howard p.
Taylor's beautiful comedy-drama,
Caprice" The play is probably the
best of its kind produced in years-a
dramatic gem. Miss Maddern made a
big hit in the role of Mercy Baxter
when Caprice" was first produced in
this city, and last evening she revived
all the interest and delight which CEN
tered in her first performances. AS
the country romp she nestled in the
affections of her audience just as soon
as her bright, sunshiny face was
seen on the stage, and as she
shook her wealth of beautiful auburn
hair in the faces of her auditors, and
looked with her great expressive eyes,
there were many lost hearts among
the men and acclamatiOns Of pleasure
from her own sex at her pretty face,
sweet voice and winsOme manner.
She played tine part with even more
than her former naivete, innocence,
humor and pathOs, and created an en-
thuSiasm which vented itself in re-
peated recalls ana raising of the cur
tain at the end of the acts. The
scene at the commencement of the
third act when she is discovered
asleep on the lounge and r)uses her
self to practice upon the piano, caused
such furore of laughter that the
business OF the play was interfered
with. A marvelOusly touching effect
was produced when she sat upon the
floor looking into the fire and low and
sweetly sang, I'm the Cleaning" A
more delightful dramatic entertain
ment than "Caprice," with Miss Mad
dern as Mercy Baxter, has not been
seen in this city in years. At the
Grand Opera House, Friday, October
