Large Vote.

Tenth Ward Republicans Meet
at st. Anthony Papk--Po-
litical Briefs.

The voters of st. Paul are evidently
determined that they will not allow
either the granger legislatures that
meet in this city every two years for the
sole purpose of making laws that apply
to one or two cities, or the kangaroo"
election law to eucher them out of their
votes, judging from the lively manner
in which the voters registered yester-
day. In the inside wards over halt of
the legal voters were placed Oh the lists
yesterday, while in several of the more
scattered wards the proportion is even
greater. In the First, the Ninth and
the Eighth wards the voters turned
out as they never did before,
and made sure of their votes by seeing
their names properly registered. This
large registration on the first day shows
conclusively that the people are taking
great interest in this campaign, and
propose to take hand in deciding the
battle on Mayo. The registration will
be the largest in the history of the city,
unless the next two registration days
show most remarkable falling off in
the number who register, which is not
at all likely.
Every voter who did not register yes
terdaY should remember that he will
have another opportunity next Tues
day, April %, and the ''last call'' will
be on two weeks from yesterday, Tues
day, April 80. Every voter should not
only see to it that he is registered, but
he should also make sure that all his
friends and acquaintance are placed on
the lists. If you don't register you
can't vote. Register!
j. j. McCafferty remarked in speech
before the Eighth Ward Independent
club last night: This is an independ-
ent club. Sure, you are the most indie
pendent gathering of men have seen
for long time, and | am proud of you."
Such was the verdict of all disnter-
ested spectators-if such there were
in the hall at the corner of Virginia
avenue and Blair street. The hall was
packed to the utmost limit of standing
room, and hundred speeches, all in
good humor, were made in a fourth
as many minutes. The tenor of all was
that the members of the club were
workingmen and they wanted the most
favorable man to their interests in
dorSed for alderman. 1t seems that be-
fore the city conventions met a reSOlu-
ton had been offered to indorse A. F.
Gauger for alderman of the ward.
That resolution was laid on the table
until last night, when it was taken up
for consideration. 1t also seems that
committee OF five had been appointed
to make inquiry as to whom the club
ought to support for the Office. The
committee reported in favor of Herman
Bielenberg'S Endorsement. MesSrS.
Sullivan and Mcdonald and sew
eral others made speeches to the effect
that the Democratic party is the most
favorable to the working men. William
Carroll made minority report favor
able to the support of A. f. Gauger.
After an animated discussion the club,
without negative vote, decided to sup
port Bielenberg. Judge j. j. McCaf-
ferty was introduced and delivered an
enthusiastic address, commenting on
the character of the meeting and the
comparative merits of the two political
parties. He spoke in criticism of the
methods of the Republican party. In
his exposition of the Australian law he
referred to the uniform success of
the Democratic party where the sys-
TEN. is in vogue. He compli-
mented the Democratic ticket and paid
high tribute to the honor, integrity
and capacity of John Twohy, candidate
for municipal judge. The judge was
frequently interrupted with applause.
Mr.. Twohy was called for and re-
sponded with clear, logical speech in
which he asked the voters to give an in
telligent expression of their sentiments
at the polls and to act as becomes Amer
lean electors. Frank Battley was called
for and responded with brief speech.
Mr. Hanley, one of the six Democrats
out of seven aldermen elected at Helena,
Mont, made short speech. Thomas
Casey said: IL move that we indorse
the whole Democratic ticket" Mr..
Normandin said: 81 have the honor
and pleasure to second that notion"
The vote was taken, resulting in a storm
of ayes and three nays. The meeting
adjourned until next Tuesday night.
Meetings were announced fer BrandPs
hall for Thursday evening; for Jeran's
hall, corner of Thomas and Gaultier
streets, for Saturday evening, and for
MarQuett'S hall, on Carroll street, on
The Republicans of the Tenth ward
held meeting at st. Anthony Park last
evening. Hon. A. r. McGill presided
over the meeting, and in neat speech
Endorsed w. M. Todd, the Republican
nominee for ward alderman. Other
speakers were g. J. Lomen, candidate
for municipal judge on the Re-
publican ticket; Hon. f. G. Stevens,
chairman of the Republican city COM
mittee, w. M. Todd, Capt. G. l.. Sum-
bardo, of Hamline, and S. E. Dana. Of

a leaning towards r. V. Pratt, an
nounced themselves as supporters of
Mr.. Todd. Before adjournment the
meeting unanimously Endorsed Mr..
Todd.
The Eighth ward Prohibitionssts will
caucus at A. G. Lackey's. 473 Fuller
street, Thursday evening next.
The aldermanic fight is opening up
very brskly IN the First ward, with the
chances largely in favor of the election
of Andrew Olson. "Olson is man of
good, sound horse sense" said City
Committeeman Dan Aberle yesterday.
"He is contractor and knows all about
the ward and just what Arlington Hills
needs. He is man able to make a
stand for the interests of the First ward
at any time. He is the best man in the
field for the place and l feel confident
of his election"
Chris Gaefke, the anarchist, yesterday
filed nomination papers with the city
clerk, and is now in the field as an
independent and socialistic candidate
for alderman in the Sixth ward.
A meeting of the First ward Demo
Gratis will be held at the Payne avenue
hall Saturday evening.
The Scandinavian Independent club
met at Vega hall. on Seventh street,
last evening. The meeting was not
nearly as largely attended as the one at
which the constitution was adopted,
when the club refused by an almost
unanimous vote to incorporate pro-
vision that the club might, by two
thirds vote, recommend the election of
candidates of Scandinavian birth. By
counting noses it was found that there
were twenty-nine Republicans present,
and only sixteen Democrats. 1t was
far from being representative meeting
of the Scandinavians. The Republi-
cans determined to use the opportunity
to capture the meeting and to railroad q
