The wOrkingmen of st. Paul were
coolly sat upon by the Republican city
committee yesterday. AS result of
several meetings of unions during the
latter part of last week, delegations
which claimed to represent sixty-three
labor organizations of st. Paul labOred
with Z. w. Hornick, Sunday, to induce
him to represent the workingmen at the
head of the ticket-tO be q candidate
for mayor at the approaching city cleo
ton. As result of this work an an.
nOuncement was made in large type in
the Pioneer Press yesterday morning, in
which the following language was used:
The labor unions are making arrange.
ments to place in the field MS n candidate
for mayor u prominent business man OF
exceptional qualifications, against whom
nothing unfavorable rs to his political. social
or business record can be said. This nom.
ination will be submitted to the Republican
city committee to-day for Endorsement In
case the Republican city committee accepts
the nominee, the name of the candidate will
be made public tomorrow morning.
The Republican city committee was
in session yesterday afternoon, but it
failed to indorse the nominee. A com.
mittee representing the wOrkingmen's
organizations was there to look after
Mr.. H0rnick's chances. Among the
members of the committee were J. Il.
CrOnin, L. III. McKone, president of the
Trades and Labor assembly, and Frank
Hoskins, who has been taking an active
part in the campaign in behalf of the
candidates of the lab0ring men. This
committee was given a hearing at a
secret session. The workingmen told
the committee that they represented
$500 votes, and that they had come to
secure the Endorsement of Charles W.
HOrnick as candidate for mayor. The
city committee questioned them at some
length and asked to be allowed to
CONSIDER THEIR REQUESTS
by themselves, and the workingmen
came from the presence of the grand old
party'S representatives. Then the com.
mitteemen held up all their hands and
said, 1--WE will not consider this mat
ter" and they did not. After time
the wOrkingmen's representatives were
sent for to come to the secret meeting
1t was while they were there that Chair
man Freaney came out and told the re-
porters that the committee would moi
entertain any such idea. They looked
upon the request as foolish one. Ina
short time portion of the workingmer
came out. They were not looking
pleased at the results OF the meeting
and at first they refused to talk too
GLOBE reporter. They further said
that they did not know what action the
city committee would take on their re
quest.
"If they do not accept Mr.. HOrnick
what will the workingmen doY' asked 1
GLOBE reporter.
1--WE will vote for the prohibition
candidates." said one of the men.
During the talk between the city com
mittee and the labOring men it deveI
Oped that they were warm in their sup
port of NJ. j. DAILY for comptroller and
Bernard Ryan for alderman at large.
One of them said they would also sup.
port Mr.. Fischer for alderman. 1t was
also given out that Mr.. Hornick would
consent to be candidate only on con.
dition that he received the Endorsement
of the Republicans. But this was re.
fused. The wOrkingmen who were in
sympathy with the movement were hot
at the treatment they were given by the
committee and did not hesitate to say
so plainly.
