ana lnuOrSed by the opposite party. 1t
is scarcely true to the principles of the
Democratic party to stand or fall by one
man when the Endorsement of another
man would never include even the DOS
sibility of fall. OF course, the Re-
publlcans are censurable because Of
their refusal to accept the Democratic
nominees, when the Democrats agreed
to support theirs. On the other hand,
the Democratic committee exhibited
no spirit of compromise. The failure
to reach dn agreement is to be deplored.
and the question may well be asked,
Ibid the Democratic committee act for
the pest?"
AS for the part which Thomas Canty
has borne i'm this fight, There are any
number of consistent Democrats who
will not indorse his course and who will
censure the stand taken by the commit
tee which refused to withdraw his
name. To great many it is an
unrayeled enigma why the Demo
cratic party should insist upon
his nomination. In the first place CAVITY
is not a Democrat. He has never pre-
tended to be Democrat. He has never
done anything for the Democratic party.
He has no claim upon the party, and has
| (nor did he ever have) no right to insist
being.the party's representative upon the
bench. The least that can be said of
his course is that it has been supremacy
selfish. Against Thomas Canty's ability
as lawyer, against his honor and
| his Integrity, no man can say
aught. He has both said and done GER
| tain things which render him unac-
ceptable to the Republicans. He has
| title him to the power to dictate nomi-
| nations to the Democratic party. Yet
that is just what certain self-styled
leaders of Democracy desire to confer
upon him. A thorough Democrat would
| never have acted as he has acted. An
| instance OF his presumption. he being
not representative of the party which
| he preSumeS to ride:
He rushed into DIR. Ames' Office yes
| terday afternoon, after the conference
| was over, thinking that possibly the
four candidates. Meeting a member of
that committee at the door, he painted:
'Have they chosen Frank Brooks?
Ii they have, quit right here. He'll
kill the ticket"
Pray, what right has Mr.. Thomas
CAVITY. whG has done his share toward
the probable sacrificing of Smith, OIL e of
| the best judges ever on the bench and
| thorough Democrat, to decide who shall
| ticket? Let him answer the question.
Certain it is that, should Canty still in
| Slst upon heading the straight Demo
| cratic ticket, search with a 1O,O00-candle
| power electric light will have to be made
| TO find three good men to pull the ticket
| through.
Those famous affidavits from the Still
man crowd, alleging crooked work on
Of Tlr fnsc
| have been published and they are not
SO nightly sensational after all. They
! do illustrate one fact, however, and
that is that the grand. old, conservative,
pure and holy@ Republican patty is
| never working just right until its path
way has been paved with gold and car
.peted with greenbacks. Money may
have been used, but if 1t
was the presumption is that it was
handled by both parties. The side with
the biggest roll won. In fact the BraZie
adherents claim that if it comes to a
show down, they can prove, and by good
reputable men who saw the transaction
at that, that the Stillmanites had money
to pay for proxies and for votes. Any
how, the kick dOen't carry much weight,
coming as it does from the defeated
partIes-men who wanted to sit in the
council and men who had de-
| signs upon the health department.
This man Almquist, who signed one
the Ninth ward ''antis," at the head of
whom is Aid. Erik Rhode, and of
course the Ninth warders would help
! out their brothers in the Fifth ward. By
the way. it is whispered that A. j.
Blethen was induced to publish the
affidavits in his paper by the threat that
should he refuse he would be carved
from the legislative ticket. How is that,
Bleth?
Aid. E. G. Potter will not resign his
| seat in the city council. That was
! given out yesterday by very close per-
sOnal and political friend Of the Repub-
lican candidate for mayor. Hold fast
| what give you" is the butterman's
motto. He is not so greedy as the dog
who lost his bone while trying to cap
ture its reflection in the water. He
wants to be sure of something better
before dropping certainty. Mayor
Babb gives this reason for Potter's
holding on. IF Winston is elected
mayor, all the signs indicate that Potter
council. Now in the next adminiStra-
ton the mayor, if a Democrat, will have
comparatively no influence or power
except such as he may have through his
| personality. On the contrary, the pres
| ldent OF the city council will be the
most powerful man in the city govern
| ment."
Roger @. Mills, the father of the ia
nous Mills bill and tariff reformer, will
speak in Minneapolis next Monday
night. He spoke IN La Crosse last night
to large audience, taking for his text
the force bill and the little school
house. He was heard by Dr.. A. A.
Ames. Col. nj. W. Glenn and
Davy johnson. who went to La
Crosse especially to hear him.
He will speak in Milwaukee Saturday
night, and a delegation of Minneapolis
Democrats will bring him from Mil
waukee to Minneapolis.
The jefferson club will hold special
meeting Friday night to arrange for the
mass meeting to be addressed by Con-
gresham Mills.
The pla ce of meeting for next Mon
day nights Democratic mass meeting
has again been changed. Instead of
Harmonic hall. which is rather small
and the acoustic properties of which
might be better, the committee in charge
have decided to hold the meeting in the
Lyceum, formerly the Harris theater,
which has been engaged. Roger @.
Mills will thus be heard under favor
able circumstances.
A Democratic mass meeting was held
in FTOleffson's hall last night. The
room was crowded to the doors. SEN
ator j. n. Castle, A. ID. Smith and
Judge Nethaway, of Saltwater, spoke,
the latter making the speech of the
evening.
The Republican county committee
met last night, and its deliberations
were presided over by the new chair
