man who has
given much of his time to the public

compliment to him that ne ran well
everywhere, and his increase came as
well from the humble nome of toll as
from the lordly mansions of ariStocratic
st. Anthony hill.
Late Yesterday afternoon group of
five rather detected but somewhat
boisterous individuals turned the corner
at Wabasha and Fifth streets, and
passed down to the Clifton hotel. They
were the last remnants of the skid"
municipal campaign of 1890. and, in
spite of their well known NERVE" and
endurance, they showed the effects Of
the strain and excitement of the past
defeated candidate for city treasurer;
Darius f. Reese, Willie Nichols, 4. w.
Zollman, and esquire" W. IL. r. Nc
Martin made up the crowd. AS they
turned the corner at the Germania
bank ssome rude and unsympatnetic
Individual yelled:
''How's the kids?"
''Ihe kids are still on EARTH" said F.
w. Zollman in reply, as Willie Nichols
and Conrad Miller grasped the hands Of
friends who were expressing their re-
grets. Zoliman's expressive sentence
was heartily Endorsed by the entire
crowd. and in manner thai bodies Ill to
certain portion Of the Republican
party of st. Paul in the future.
At the Republican headquarters yes
terday all was silent aud desert ed
Frank Reed, who started out few
short weeks ago.aS the NJ. S.Quay of the
campaign, was like Henry johns, con-
spicuous by his absence A few weeks
ago MIR, Reed, it will be remembered,
stated that in 1883 he had estimated
Meiriam's majority at 5000. whereas
the governor received a. 900 on election
day. ION the same basis, aud after
careful Canvass" said Mr.. Reed, II
predict that Col. Kiefer will have a plu-
rality of 1900 votes in this contest" The
rather uneXpected-to MIR. Reed-ter-
mination OF the contest of Tuesday will.
perhaps. explain to his anxious friends
the cause of his seclusiOn.
SIN the way of workers and enthusi-
asm the Democrats had the best Of 1t all
the way through the contest" Said
leading Republican yesterday. "There
are few better. more popular and more
astute workers in local politics than
A IF ha nit
committee. When he becomes interested
in cause he is power and his earnest
ness wins votes for the ticket he favors.
| am satisfied that Kiefer's majority in
the First ward would have been at least
1,0U0 had it not been for the work of Mr..
Aberle, aided by the efforts of County
Treasurer A. N. Nelson, Chairman Billy
Hamm, Gilbert Olsen and other
staunch Democrats Of Arlington Hills"
Chairman T. G. Stevens. of the Re-
publican city committee, was run down
by GLOBE reporter on jackson street
yesterday and asked his view Of the
stunning defeat sustained by the Re-
puhlicans on Tuesday. WELL" said
Mr.. Stevens, there's no use in minclng
words. We, are defeated. Our estl-
mates were verified by results in all eX-
cept the Seventh, Tenth and Eleventh
wards, where we expected to receive
the usual Republican maiorities. which
we didn't get by a considerable. In
the Sixth ward we had con-
coded the Democrats 400. which
was something more than they turned
| up with last evening. Our estimates
for the Fourth ward we're too low also,
but this was evened up by the Sixth"
| MIR. Stevens looked as fresh and rosy as
though his candidate had won. and had
no objections to register against any
one on account of the result of Tues
days voting.
Does this campaign end the ''kid'
predomnance in local politics?
| 1t certainly looks that way now,
| Judging from the talk Of the older and
more conservative members of the
way, holds down position at the state
capitol, roasted the ''kidS" to a turn
yesterday, saying among other things
thats'a lot of fellows were i'll control
of the party who knew more than any
one else, and had disguised all decent
Republicans by their tactics. The re-
suit of this election may teach them
something, however" continued the
gentleman in question, s'and perhaps
there will be chance for older and
quite as good Republicans to do some
thing in, future campaigns"
Judge Burr spent Tuesday even
ing at Forest Lake and knew moth
ing OF the result of the cleo
ton until he got on the morning train
single glance at the papers showed him
of
him remarked. Ibis chin dropped clear
down on his breast" and there it hung
all of yesterday. Judge Burr was very
confident of his election. and was nat
urally surprised at his defeat.
There seems to be some differences in
the manner of figuring pluralities in
the recent election. For instance, to
obtain the plurality of an alderman at
large you should suOstraet from his vote
the vote of the highest candidate who
was defeated. Judge Flandrau's plu-
| ralIty or Aid. Mlnea's plurality is the
excess of his vote over Mr.. Keller'S, and
! not the excess over Mr.. Bryant's vote.
| The pluralities of Judges Cory and
rwohy are determined by the excess
of their vote over that for Judge Burr.
the highest defeated candidate. Follow
this rule in deciding bets.
An evening paper editorially asked:
ssIs it Democratic victory2" Well, to
tell the truth, it looks very much that
way. The result conciseiy summed up,
would read like this:
DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS
Mayor Three aldermen
Comptroller Que justice
Treasurer iOne constable.
Fourteen aldermen
Three justices
Two constables.
To this must be added the statement
that the Democrats made no contest for
three of the five little offices the Re-
publicans got. 1t does look like a
Democratic victory, now doesn't it?
