| not satisfied with Mr.. Ankeny's entire fit

| at one time, went about the streets cordially
! commencing Mr.. Ankeny as lawyer of re-
markable ability and just the very man to
make good judge. 1t is enough to make
| horse laugh to be shy OF Mr.. Ankeny, and IN
| the same breath commend Judson n. Cross,
| Judge Fish, or, indeed, any of the Republi-
| can candidates named. The friends OF Mr..
| Ankeny confidently claim that he is the peer
| of any Republican lawyer at the bar, and
| they insist that the paper read by him last
| spring to the court on the death of Eugene
| Wilson could not have been surpassed by any
! attorney in the city either at the bar or on
| the bench. When these self-Tighteous Phari-
sees resort to such defamation of character
| to cover their own schemes for their political
| friends, they will find something drop about

A couple of hundred persons some of
| whom were Republicans, gathered al Repub-
| ican headquarters last night to hear what
| the speakers arranged for the mass meet
ing had to say. DR.. Baumann presided.
The first man introduced was E. G. Potter.
Potter has had poor success as a stump
speaker. Every time he has undertaken to
| speak, he has either put his foot it.. or
made statements which were proven false.
He escaped either contingency last night
disappearing. He was followed by Judge
John Z. Rea in such speech as only Rea can
make-one without positive quality. The
Judges remarks were general, very general.
There was much about patriotism, "our
| glorious country" the voice of freedom, -
1.-The land of the free and the home of the
brave, and about facts, necessities, possibil-
ltes, or notwithstanding. Congress-
man Snider then arose in a silence in which
chocolate drop would have made noise,
with placards appealing vote for Sam P.
Snider'' lit is plain Sam now, not Hon.
Samuel staring him in the face. He started
In to intone an apology for his career in
congress and made poor one. He men
toned the creating of Minneapolis as a SUBJ
| port of entry, whereby the metropolis of
the Northwest" is made to play second fiddle
TO her hated rival ST. Paul The glories of
making Meeker island the head of naviga-
ton were touched upon. The benefits to be
derived from the completion of the Hay lake
channel were enumerated but nothing was
SAID about the manner in which Speaker
Reed delayed the appropriation for the $500
canal. He started TO say that the Republicans
had carried out the pledges made in 1890,
but introduced the saving clause. "or at
tempted to carry ou.' Plain Sam then
mentioned the disability pension bill
as wise and benefcent legislation where
government for injuries never received, while
cripples from the war go to the poor houses.
He started to laud the noble work of the Re-
publicans against convict labor, but was
promptly tcaled down by laboring man
present and desiSted. Then he went into the
tariff matter, and got into it SO far that he
never got out again. He tried to elucidate
the silver bill, and failed. The applause
which plain Sam received wouldn't have
awakened a weasel. A. j. Blethen spoiled q
possible editorial by saying few words.

When Aid. Potter left the mass meeting
he went down to Normanna hall to address
another mass meeting cold, hard, IN
/ sympathetic, yellow chairs, which the jan.
itor had marshaled for his reception. Pot
ter's heart was glad, for he knew that there
was no danger of his again inserting his
pedal extremity in it, at least, if he should
90 IL. those chairs would say nothing.

The Ninth Ward Democratic club held an
| enthusiastic meeting last night. The pre-
cinct committees made final arrangements &c
J | make a canvass of the ward. Jacob Kort was
unanimously elected sergeant-at-arms of the
| club.
1t seems that the announcement that Rob
ert Il. Evans had withdrawn from the Eighth
ward contest was premature. Mr.. Evans was
out Of the city when the withdrawal was pub
lished, without his consent 1t was merely 6
| mistake. Mr.. Paris does not want to run il
L Evans will consent to make the canvass
This IS what Evans says of it:
Il desire TO say to the voters of the Eighth
ward that the statements recently published
in the newspapers of this city to the effec
that had resigned as candidate for alderman
OF the Eighth ward in favor of A ". Paris
were published without my knowledge.
}. l have but recently arrived IN the city, after
/ an absence of several months and take this
the earliest opportunity after consultation
with number of my friends. to state that
shall be in the race until the closing of the
polls on Nov. 4, 1890. and expect 10 remain
in the city of Minneapolis ell reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
There will be q political meeting of the
Q colored people of this city on Friday evening
