SAMPLES OF SENTIMENT.
What Men of Both Parties Think
of the Scheme.

A. n. Jordan, Oem.) "A citizens
ticket would be a big fraud, and would
result, as it always does, in the Repub-
licanS catching number of Democratic
votes under false pretenSes. 1t would
be no more citizens ticket than the
Democratic ticket would be.
Gilman, Dem.)- citizens ticket
here in Minneapolis, would be nothing
more or less than a Republican ticket.
Ed. A. Stevens, Dem.l-Our Republi-
they would not want a citizens ticket.
M. w. Glenn, Oem.)-We don't want
any citizens ticket. There are too
many tricks about such thing.
Ben Davenport, Dem.)-A citizens
ticket? Well, hardly.
Aid. Dwyer, Oem.)-I object to citi-
Zens' ticket, because no responsibility is
attached to it. If a party fails to give
satisfaction, it can be held responsible
at the polls, but not SO with a
nondescript citizens ticket.
Aid. Stoft Oem.)-I see no issue
upon which to start citizens move
If either the Democrats or Republicans
nominate good, clean men, there is no
necessity for third ticket.
Judge Won Schlegel Rep.)-Upon
the Democratic and Republican parties
should rest the responsibility of select
ing their OVID candidates. If the two
parties are put On their good behavior
their will be no difficulty about pure
men for Office.
James Worrell Rep. 1T would be
shame to place such ticket in the
field and the scheme will not carry,
not in eleven years.
George Robinson Rep.)-Unless we
can get a better council than we have
now, a citizens ticket would be our
only salvation.
Ace P. Abel Rep.)-1t would be a
good thing. All Republicans want to
see one placed in the field.
Henry Baldry (Rep.)-As a rule
citizens tickes is good thing. but in
Minneapolis it will depend this time on
who the nominees OF the two parties
are.
A. H. Hal, Rep.) IA citizens ticket is
practically Republican ticket. indie
pendent movements to nominate pure
men to office have almost invariably re-
suited in the nomination of Repub-
licans.
Hon. Seaglave Smith, Dem.)-It will
be impossible to do it. l believe in do
ing city business ON business principles.
| believe the present city council has
conducted affairs with more economy
than for some time past. When this
council came into power there was not
ward i'll the city which was not in debt
for public improvements made to benefit
SPECTATORS. Those debts have been
paid to large extent, which has left
some of the wards short of funds to pay
for the necessary improvements re-
quired for the present year. When this
administration came in, the general
fund of the city was overdrawn or i'll
debted to other funds to the amount of
about S12S,000. All this howl about high
taxation and squandering the peoples
investigated the matter, and who do
not know where to place the blame.

FOR A BOYS LIFE
Five Thousand Dollars Demanded
Varied Court Notes.

Joseph Gallagher, as administrator of
Nicholas Gallagher, deceased, has begun
an action against Bant Arntson for
$4,000 damages for the killing of Nicholas
Gallagher. The plaintiff states in his
complaint that Arntson has been en-
gagged for some time in quarrying and
removing rock from a stone quarry at
the corner of Second street and Second
avenue northeast, and for lifting the
rock from the quarry to the street he
used a derrick connected by rope and
pulley with windlass. On the 9th of
last May Arntson, after lifting large
rock from the quarry to the street, care
lessly left the rope still attached to the
rock. and went away from the
quarry without locking the wind
lass. Soon after, several small
children who were playing near
the quarry, commenced running
around Oh the large pieces OF rock
which were lying in the street and
caused the rock which was attached to
the derrick rope to slip from the bank
into the quarry. The weight of the
rock caused the windlass to revolve
with great speed aud the sweep at
tached to the windlass struck Nicholas
Gallagher, aged seven years, who was
standing near by and instantly killed
him.

ALL SORTS.

From that matter of fact and terse
sheet, the Tribune, it is learned that a
german at Minnetonka twas led with
charming abandon by Messrs. Burwell
and Handy" But for this explicit state
ment one might have imagined the ger
man was led with hitching strap.
If a non-partisan citizens ticket is
placed in the field, how many straight
Democrats will it have on it?
1t is very nearly time for Col. Orville
Rinehart to get move on him and cali
the Democratic committee together. If
the usual amount of mathematics is to
be INDUCED in, that committee has no
more time than it requires.
Ed A. Stevens has prepared his COM
plant in his suit to recover $1,000 for
services in compiling, preparing and
revising the city charter and ordinances.
1t is expected that as City Attorney
Smith authorized the work, he
will advise a settlement, or ask
that another attorney defend the case.
IT this is not done he will be placed in
the highly paradoxical position of de-
Tending case in which he will appear
rs chief witness for the plaintiff.

MINNEAPOLIS.
POLITICAL sPLINTERs.

The venerable Senator Morton S. Will
kinson, the sage eff the second district.
was in the city yesterday. Tt is the
current belief that the senator will be
the Democratic candidate for congress,
to teach John Lind a few tariff object
lessons. He said;
1.-The fight in the cities with Mr..
Doran has not generally reached the
country districts and they don't take
any part in it. think the party is large
enough to contain DOran and all his
enemies, but as to his running it or
saying this or that man shall not be
nominee, that is another matter. No
man should use the machinery of the

State Senator Lars Swenson, of Min
heapolis, has some queer ideas of his
duty as public officer. He was excited
the other day in a political discussion

o. A. Hallin, clerk of courts of Isanti
county, and George W. Nesbitt, county
attorney, were in Minneapolis yester-
day. Both are Shrewd political manip-
nlators at home, but they were too
Bhrewd to disclose the object of their
visit to Minneapolis. During the day
they were closeted with Judge Rea, but
no word escaped through closed doors.
So far as known they did not pay a
sentimental visit to either Loren Fetch
er or Capt. Snider.

An evening paper has unearthed
huge political sensation. 1t has discov-
cred scheme on foot among the inno-
cent farmers of the interior to nominate
Frank Davis for governor. 1t is throw
ing shade of doubt over the story to
locate the headquarters of the scheme
In LIE Sueur county, where Republicans
are scarcer than alligators; but still the
story goes. Frank has now been NOM
mated for everything but senator, but
he is young yet, and all things come to
him who waits.
DR.. D. F. Collins said yesterday, in
speaking of J. M. Underwood, president
of the Harrison, Morton and Eye g. A.
r. club: Underwood has sought Office
from every political party that has ever
taken part in a political campaign in
Minneapolis, and now he is trying to
ride into office on the shoulders of the old
soldiers"

Chicago IL Eastern Illinois engine %
ran into Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy freight train. Four cars of the
Burlington train were derailed. and the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois engine was
canted on its side, breaking it badly.
The right of way belonged to the Chi
cago Il Eastern Illinois engine. the 30"
train being blocked by gate. Specta-
tors say that no Burlington train men
were on the rear of the train, and that
the accident was due entirely to care

Trunk passenger train on a parallel
track to the Chicagh d Eastern Illinois
came within hairs breadth of being
wrecked by the overturning engine.
The total damage is estimated at $4,000.

While workmen on the new court
house and city hall grounds were en-
gagged in telling big tree yesterday
afternoon, another workman drove
team of horses under it just as it com
menced to fall. The man whipped up
his horses, and succeeded in escaping.
AS it was, he and the horses had mar

just missed them in falling. Work is
progressing rapidly there, and unless
there is some unforeseen delay the
ground will be clear inside of a week.
A large number of the trees which
graced the old school house grounds
have already been removed, and the
rest will soon follow. The school house
itself stood in the center of the block,
high above the street. All that is left
of it now is few walls, and these are
being rapidly removed. The elevated

The Committee Not Willing to
Nominate Other Tickets.


Nominate Other Tickets.
Yesterday afternoon Col. W. S. King,
who has been identified recently with
the new movement, came to the GLOBE
office, accompanied by Capt. o. G. Mer-
riman. Col. King has always been a
thick-and-thin Republican, and presided
over the recent Republican meeting at
Harmonic hall. Capt. Merriman has
been Democrat. except locally, having
been identified with national Demo-
cratic affairs, but mugwump in local
affairs.
1--WE come" said Col. King, 'to an
nounce that meeting has been held
and a movement started to put citi-
zens' ticket into the field for the city Of
ficerS. We expect the aid of the GLOBE
and OF all the papers,"
Where was the meeting held?'
ASK Col. King" said Capt. Merri-
man, "he's the spokesman here.'
"Oh, the meeting" said Col. King,
twas held in a large room. large
enough to hold thirty or forty persons
and-well, all we want to say is that
Mr.. Morrison, Capt. Merriman and my
self were appointed committee to no
tify the press that the meeting had
taken hold. That's all.''
1--WE only proposed to put in ticket
for city officers" said Capt. Merriman.
eff citizens ticket is good thing
for the city, why would it not be equally
good for the legislative ticket?'' was
asked Col. King.
swell, that would be going into poll
tics, you see, and we want to avoid that.
If we put up legislative ticket, the
Democrats would want to vote for the
Democrats and the Republicans for the
Republicans. There's the tariff, you
see, and United States senator to
elect"
Eyes, but you say you want to see the
city government in safe hands, and that
is the object of the citizens ticket"
Eyes"
''Of course you know the vast inter-
ests Minneapolis has at stake in the
legislature?"
Eyes. 1 know that" admitted Col.
King.
''Well. then, isn't it of more import
ance to Minneapolis to see that her in
terestS in the legislature are well taken
care of than it is to set men up for SEN
ator?''
Well, yes, it was, he admitted, but
they were not here to discuss that,
merely to make this announcement.
And the committee retired.

POLICE TOPICS.

AS matter of course, the commission
will thoroughly investigate the case of
Capt. Harvey. 1t is entirely unneces-
sary to urge such an investigation as
public duty which should not be
omitted. The public has right to
KNOW the facts and to do justice.
whether for or against the accused.
1t may be the proper thing for Com
missioner Guile to stand out as the
defender of the force, but he is never
theless expected to do his duty as a
member of the hoard. He is but one of
FIVE and does not entirely run the force.
The public does not care to see repe-
tition of the last case in which police
officer was accused, and, by the way, it
was the same Capt. Harvey.
The arrangements for the annual po-
lice picnic are being talked over.
There We're number of sorrowful
faces when the funeral of G. III. Tru-
Worgy passed the city hall.
The experiment of a police matrOn
has not proven altogether satisfactory.
and it is understood that several of the
commission are in favor of discontinue
irg the Office.
t is stated that certain attorney has
made the offer to procure for the rea-
sonable sum of S75 the appointment of
patrOlman, first as a special during
the exposition and then as a member of
the regular force. The matter will be
brought up before the commission at
The next meeting, and will be looked
into if investigations are in order.
Capt. Harvey was not on duty yester-
day afternoon and the report was
straightway circulated that he had been
suspended, pending an investigation.
This was Il mistake, however, as the
captain was simply at home fixing up a
few things about his house.
The Principal Police Topic.
While the arrest of the four burglars
who have been doing such an amount
of might works. is still the subject of
conversation at police headquarters,
there were no new developments yes
tterday so far as geould be learned,
I ere have been no more
arrests. and it is not proba-
bic that any further disclosures
will be made concerning the case until
the examination Of the men arrested
Monday next. The talk concerning
Capt. Harvcy's completely has not as
sumed any definite shape, although 1t is
of course certain that an investigation
is to follow, although he has been pretty
successful in avoiding proceedings Of &
similar nature heretofore.
E.W .Aidrich. the auctiOncer, at whose
house much of the stolen property was
found. has photographed j. w. FielC
from Kingston, Ont, that he is en- route
to Minneapolis, and isiexpected to arrive
to-day.

STILL HAS A HOPE.
Mrs. Barrett Claims to Have
Found an Eye Witness. +,

Found an Eye Witness. +.
Tim and Pete Barrett. now at the
county Jail under sentence of death for
numbering in cold blood Street Car
Driver Tolefson, are still confident that
their necks will never be encircled by
the ropes, even if the supreme court
does not grant the request for new
trial. Both men have been confident all
along that something would turn up In
their favor, and it would seem now that
something has. A telegram to
an evening paper, from Omaha,
where Pete was captured, states
that in an interview Mrs. Barrett, the
mother of the boys, declared that the
principal witness against the condemned
does not attempt to conceal her abhor-
renee of him and openly avOws that he
testified against them for some Interior
purpose of getting the reward offered by
the state, and that he is bad man.
She states that since the stay of eXecu-
ton an eyewitness to the murder, VINO
fled the country just before the
trial. has been found at New Or
leans; that the Minneapolis authorities
are ignorant of this fact; that he will
be brought back if new trial is
granted, and that his testimony will ex-
culpate her boys. She declares her sons
are innocent. Their trial has cost her
$4,000. She still OWNS several houses
and lots here and says she will become
a beggar before she sees them punished
if money will save them. To this end
she lives in barn in filth and squalOr
and rents her houses that she may be
able to meet demands upon her from time
to time. eff the boys get new trial."
she said, Henry will either have to
leave the country or be shot, for there
are plenty of people in Minneapolis who
would as soon kill him as chicken"
Mrs. Barrett farther states that since
the trial Henry has admitted to the
prosecuting attorney that Pete had no
completely with the murder.
