since the days Of Vallandigham! Vest,
Villas and Voorhees, have each been ac-

dangerous rival for the same position, in
consequence of his recent tariff article

all wear the same political vestment

There is another respect in which Mr.
Eye declines to allow his candidacy to
90 before the public upon its merits
he bases his claims largely upon the
ground that he is an old soldier. His
election as the state commander OF the
q. A. r. was insisted upon with view
of bringing to his support the old soldier
element, and it was i'll his interest that
his workers were largely instrumental
in the organization of the Harrison and
Morton Old Soldier club. 1t would
hardly be imagined from the hullabaloo
that has been raised that Capt-SWenSOn
has a similar and a better claim for
consideration upon this score. Although
the captain has not heralded it from the
house tops, his record as soldier Is not
only one to be proud of, but it is a re-
markable one. Few, very few, sur
vived the war who saw the actual ser
vice and hard fighting that he went
through. In 1861 he enlisted in the
Sixteenth United States infantry and
served three years, being actually en-
gagged in no less than thirty-three bat
ties, some Of them the most terrible or
the war, including Shiloh, Corinth,
Stone River, Chaplain Hills, Chicka-
manga. Missionary Ridge and the selge
of Atlanta. At Stone River he was
wounded three times, but refused to
take a furlOugh, or to accept promotion
for his galantry.
Il would seem that Mr.. Eye might as
we'll content himself with legislative
canvass and not appeal to eXtraneOus
influences to gain votes.

MEN IN POLITICS.

G. M. Foote, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic city committee, is q great hustler
and has quite head for organization.
Unlike many chairmen, he will listen
to advice, and, this faculty brings all
sorts of characters to the committee
rooms to tell how campaign ought to
lie run. But FOote is certainly making a
success of this one, and has the DemOc-
racy in blaze. Unless the Republic
ans spring another riot, or something of
that character, the city campaign will
be wound up with rafting majority
for the ticket. There are from three to
five Dem ocratic meetings every night,
and they are all rOuSers, too.
~
Will E. Haskell, editor of the Trib-
une,i very keen-witted politician and
is generally very ready to back his be-
lief with his money. 1t is sufficient
therefore that Haskell has made a
wager that Winston will be elected.
though he has also bet that his major
ity will not run into the thousands.
Dozens of Republicans are betting on
Winston's election, but they are all
compelled to give odds.
Aid. Paris, the nominee for alderman
in the Eighth ward, is the most popular
candidate Oh the ticket. He is thor
ough business man, and has brought
| friends to his support that seem to in
sure his election. If this end can be Sc
cured, it will return an alderman that
will be a credit to the ward. His Re-
publican friends are doing their utmost
for him.
The word has gone out from Snider
Headquarters to trade anything and
everything on the ticket for Snider, and
to make Babb special mark. This is
strenuOuSly denied, but on that theory
men are at work in every precinct.
~
Candidate Babb thinks his own ward
Will give him rOuSing majority. There
is where he is mistaken, aid badly, too.
The rock-ribbed Eighth might give him
a majority, but it will be far below the
usual majority. The Eighth ward, it
must be remembered, IS great sucker
for honesty in office. 1t believes public
office is public truSt-not an ice trust.
AS to Robert l.. Penney, candidate
for county attorney, those who have
been associated with him in business,
who have met and been opposed by him
at the bar, who have been associated
with him in private life and who have
known him in politics, alike unite in
prOnouncing him genial, warm-heart-
ed, able and true man. Born in
Connecticut thirty-eight years ago,
after graduating at the Yale
law school. he came to this city some
eight years ago and engaged in the
practice of his profession. Coming
here without money, friends or ac-
quaintances, he has by sheer ability, in
dustry and application to his work.
built up an extensive and successful
business, and attained an enviable
reputation and position at the bar of
this county. The estimation in which he
is held by his party was evidenced
by the unanimity with which the nomi-
nation for the office which he seeks was
bestowed upon him by the recent
county convention. While a Democrat:
Mr.. Penney has never allied himself
with any of the contending factions
which have from time to time arisen
within the party, and should receive
the full vote of his party within the
county.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Will E. Steele-The Republican leg
islative tickets for both the Twenty
ninth and Thirtieth districts are dis
grace to the party. l think any good,
representative Republican who will run
independent will be elected without
any trouble.
The Prohibitionists have come to the
conclusion that it would be decidedly
improper for any of them to vote for
Jim Eye for sheriff. 1t is reported that
Jim has been known to go into saloon
to buy a cigar, but then this only a
rumOr.
Loren Fletcher is reported as trading
off Gen. Underwood i'll the Twenty
ninth legislative district in order to Sc
cure the election of Eugene Hay.
Ace P. Abell's modus operandi OF
running a campaign is to bet on the
candidates which he wishes to have
elected,
Bets are being made that Babb will
receive less votes than any other nom
inee on the city ticket, and that ChOwen
will receive less than any other nominee
on the county ticket.
Col. Ed Davenport is not bowling
success as a campaign orator.
The county ticket of the American
party, or anti-CathOlic party, as it is gen
orally called, has been printed. 1t is
made up from the Democratic, Repub-
llcan and Prohibition tickets, and con-
tains only the names of persons born in
the United States. The names taken
from the Democratic ticket are: j. M.
Eustis, William E. Hewitt, Frank Hay
cock and c. NJ. Pond, and from the
Republican ticket, James II. Eye. l.. A.
Condit, W. A. James, G. 3. Iirrell,
Robe rt Jamison and II. 6. Hicks. The
balan ce of the names are taken from
the Pr ohibition ticket.
Harry &. O'Morrison-We made a
great mistake in nominating Capt. Babb
for mayor. Blethen is the man who
should have been nominated, and then
we would have swept the city.
A Prominent Republican, am Re-
publican, and shall vote most of the Re-
publican ticket; but must confess that
am disg listed with the HOosier crowd
who are now running Republican poll
tics in this city.
Eugene G. Hay, the Hoosier carpet
bagger who succeeded in getting the
nomination on the Republican ticket in
the Twenty-ninth district for member
of the legislature, figures that he may
DOssibly be elected, as the district has
always given a large Republican ma
jority.
Several prominent Republicans are
advocating the Withdrawal of Capt. Babb
and the substitution of John A. Schlener
in his place.
The Journal is Capt. Babb's Jonah.
Five of the seven aldermanic candi-
dates In the Seventh ward are sick In
bed.
An excellent Autograph portrait of
P. Is. Winston is being distributed.

4 WEAK SCHENlE.

The GLOBE has it OH undOubted au-
thOrity that the Republicans, despairing
of the election of Capt. Babb. are hatch
ing out 4 scheme whereby they hope to
defeat the Democratic nominee, Phil b.
Winston. There is Doodle behind il. and
the public may know when the scheme
Is sprung that it is Il mere artitice. The
plan is TO spring a new candidate for
mayor, in the hope of dividing the DEM
Ocratic vote. As much OF the Demo
cratic strength lies with the laboring
classes, it has been thought advisable
10 have the labor people spring the
new candidate, and steps to that end
have already been taken. 4 certain al
legged labor public alton, already under
pay from the Republicans, has been
subsidized, and will probably come out
for the new man. The name Of John
A. Schlener has been mentioned. If
Mr.. Schlener accepts such nOmina-
ton the GLOBE believes he personally
will do it in good faith, but such a
candidacy would cut no figure. 1t is
only necessary TO put voters on their
guard, and the public Will therefore
bear in mind that if from a so-called
labor meeting, held in the office of a So
called labor paper, a new candidate is
evolved. it IS but an evidence Of Repub-
lican weakness. The Democrats will
be inspired by still nobler efforts. Win
stOn, H0lbrook and Buxton are an in
Yincible trio.

MINNEAPOLIS.
A RENEWED OFFER.

It is cow only ten days until the cleo
ton, and yet Candidate Babb has not
ayaiIed himself of the GLOBES proffer
of its columns TO endeavor TO explain
away or answer the charges preferred
against him. Candidate Babb may think
the people will ignore these charges as
he has done, but lie viii find the voters
of Minneapolis, without regard to party,
will repudiate at the polls any man who
cannot fully and fearlessly answer
charges which affect his honor as man.,
and his integrity as an official of the
city. His continued silence and his in
timation that this is campaign slush, F."
are insulting TO the intelligence of his
party, prominent members Of which are
even now discussing the ACCESSIBILITY OF
pulling him Off the ticket.
But inasmuck as Candidate Babb is
afraid to accept the GLOBES fair offer,
the same offer is cordially extended to
his business partners, +. II. Board
man, recently a candidate for mayor,
and d. NJ. Chute. The GLOBE offers
these gentlemen the use Of its columns
to answer the questions prOpounded to
Candidate Babb, and will treat them
with candor ana courtesy. 1t is TO be
supposed that they. as his partners,
Would eXonerate Candidate Babb if in
their power. Come, gentlemen, what
do Won saw

his candidacy against Capt. P. p. Sven
sen, the Democratic nominee, it should
be looked into by any who may feel
like voting for him for this reason. The
GLOBE does not care to attack the char
acter of Mr.. Eye. but it does not propose
to see that of the Democratic candidate
suffer from unfair comparison, if only
implied, and the Endorsement certainly
does an injustice to Capt. Swensen.
Capt. SwenSen is not temperance
man, as the expression goes. but he is not
a bondsman of a SalOOnkeeper, and he
has not frequented saloon on Sixth
street to au extent TO create the impress
sion that he is proprietor OF the place.
He is man of liberal views, but his
record as temperance man will GER
tainly compare very fayorably with
that of Mr.. Eye.

HOW ARE YOU BETTING?
People Who Are Backing Their
Opinions With Cash.

This is The first election when Repub-
licans cannot be found in Minneapolis
who are anxious to back their opinions
with good round amounts. This year
they do not seem to even be over
anxious to take odds on the presidential
ticket. Some few are found who think
Wilson cannot overcome the Republican
majority in the state. Occasionally
a Snider man turns up, but no one
wants to bet against Winston carrying
the city. The nearest approach to bet
of any proportion was the iDglorlOus
backdown of c. II. Benton yesterday.
Friday night he said he would bet $500
on Harrison's election, Pat Sullivan
briskly took him up. He said
he did not have the money,
but would meet Sullivan at the First
National bank in the morning, and made
a $40 bet that he would be there. Yes
terday Col. Sullivan lowered in the
vicinity of the bank corner for several
hours, but Benton did not show up.
Later, it is said, he took up three 500
bets.
Lac Stafford says if anyone will give
him odds of ten to one he will bet 500
that Winston will get 5000 plurality.
Ed A. Stevens yesterday made the
= DeI llldG Oldpp, CtuuluolO AOl oleOlHS9
general, will get 1,50O more votes in
Hennepin county than W. r. Merriam.
n. II. GjertSen took the bet after re-
fusing to bet that Wilson will run 5000
ahead of his ticket in Hennepin county.
The Republicans generally have the
call On the council, but numerous bets
have been made OH bare majority.
Two prominent Eighth ward poll
| ticians yesterday made bet that Babb
will run behind his own ticket in the
Eighth ward.
1t is ascertained that Michael Kava-
naugh, employed in the PiliSbury A
mill, who made such an uproar about
wanting to bet $4,000 on Harrison, has
not got the money. He was given the
chance to bet $500 by an employe of
Washburn, Crosby q Co., and refused it.
Five hundred dollars that Cleveland
carries New York; $500 that he carries
Indiana; $500 that he Is elected, is a bet
that is chalked upon the blackboard at
| the Columbia pool rooms.
Ed Lawler will bet two to one on
Winston carrying the city, in amounts
from 500 to $1,000.

OF the cases tried 33 were acquitted, IL
were dismissed by the court on the trial, and
AZ were found guilty by the jury; total ~.
Two hundred and thirty-riine, cases were

AZ were convicted and punished: total III.
These III persons are the class whom
the Journal credits with opposing the
election of Mr.. Jamison, as having
tasted the penalties OF the law at his
hands. What are the S94 persons who
did not feel those penalties doing?

When the case against DR.. E. E. Bar
mum, charged with stealing a chest of
tools from Mrs. Mary Paine, was called

for Now. s.
