St. raul QlStlIlery, and again Ramsey
county Republicans are made to feel
that virtue is its own reward. There is
sublime resignation to this among
Washburn men, who have faith in the
compenSatiOnS of the future; but Sabin
| men, who are still firm in the belief that
through the election of Washburn the
United States is to be given over to the
devil and Minneapolis, look upon
Hageman's appointment in the same
light as the promotion of Norman. w.
Perkins and the appointment to fat
offices of eapOlitanS-offensive evil
denceS of the scheme of injustice to be
practiced against the faithful ones of
st. Paul. Hageman is not Demo-
crat as stated, but worse-a renegade
Republican. While acting as deputy to
Register of Deeds M. j. Bell, he worked
for Van Slyke against Mr.. Bell in the
last election, thus earning for him
self the contempt of every Repub-
lican. ''His appointment is the price
OF treachery," says E. L. Mabon.
'He wasn't anything until Bell put
him on his feet two years ago. and he
and knitting him." The impression
among the Ienient Washburn faction is
that Hageman'S appointment papers.

had provided for it. Collector Bierman
stated yesterday that when he recon-
mended Hageman's appointment he
recommended Hageman the Democrat,
and that he has since learned that it
was received by Hageman the
Republican. The party he first de-
serted, however, is not to be
thus hoodwinked, and E. E. Mcdonald
stated positively last evening that
Hageman will be removed when the
Republican collector takes his office.

in particular, are more incensed against
the principle of injustice they see in it.
I'VE ARE SORE, ANYHOW sf!'
said Mr.. MabOn. minneapolis has
been getting all the plums, and st. Paul
none. The appointment of Hageman
is adding insult to injury. He worked
with all hJc roi0ht for Won SlyI-a ond
other Democrats last fall, and now
comes in for Republican favors.
There is no use for us to fight
Democrats at the polls, if the men we
so place in power are piOusly going to
love their enemies to the exclusion of
their friends" There was blood in
both of Sheriff Beams eyes when he
said with loud voice: Ppm not one
of your mealy-mouthed Republicans
who is trying to stay on both sides of
the fence. l don't like Hageman's
Perkins. We made good fight here,
and L say we're not getting our share of
the returns"
M. j. Bell stood like Patience on
monument smiling at Grief, and said he
had nothing to say about the intense
dissatisfaction which diSturbS the Re-
publican rank and file at the foot of his
pedestal. They wanted me to expose
Hageman, but / srefused. Humanity is
low enough without my making an
effort to set any human being lower. If
Hageman has got an Office,
am glad, and l hope ''there's
millions in it." Mr.. Bells saint
like attitude, his friends assert, is as
sumed to prevent the bitter personal
feeling he has toward Hageman from
breaking down all barriers and sweep
ing him heaven knows where on a
flood of malice. Mr.. Mcdonald last
evening received telegram from Sena-
tor Davis. saying that he will arrive
home Saturday. The troubled waters
will doubtless be speedily and properly
oiled.
Commissioners III car Complaints.
q The board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners held a session yesterday.
A petition has read from citizens of Luz
verne urging the commission to secure
transfer track at that point on the
Omaha and Burlington, Cedar Rapids 81
Northern railroads. The companies
were notified to attend a hearing in re-
gard to the request to be held the 18th
inst. A complaint from the Fond du Lac
Stone Quarry company was placed be-
fore the commission, having reference
to the rates on stone from st. Paul to
Duluth. A similar complaint came
from Elk River regarding rates to West
Superior on the Manitoba and Eastern
railways. The commission will take
time to consider these complaints before
any order is issued.
