Democratic ratification meeting to-mor-
row night at 1900 Lake street.
g. E. McAllister, of the Tenth ward,
is the Democratic nominee for the
Thirty-first legislative district instead
of j. Z. McAllister, as stated.
If the worst comes ard the Repub-
llcans of Minneapolis fail to find a man
who is willing to run for the office of
mayor without hope of success, E. E.
Blinn, of the Third ward, will make of
himself sacrifice. Blinn was nomi-
mated for the house of representatives
from the Twenty-ninth district, but has
Withdrawn from the race and announces
himself candidate for mayor thus:
II have lived in Minneapolis ever
since it was city: have voted with
the Republican party all that time to
perpetuate the principles of the ''grand
lead the ''forlorn hope" l believe at
this time have greater duty to per-
form for the party and that is to allow
political aspirations to be slaughtered
and exposed in the ''mayoral-
ty morgue." Fools rush in
where angels dare not tread"
In looking over the list of legislative
candidates l find the names of nearly
all OF the powerful and prominent men
who have been mentioned as candidates
for mayor of our city going to the legis-
lature next winter, sure. | don't want
to go; had rather be mayor of the city
or hold no Office. Take my name from
the legislative ticket and nominate me
for mayor;I will surely be elected; will
give the city such an administration
that 1t will be proud of. 1t shall be lib
eral, progressive and pure-equal rights,
equal privileges, AMI equal burdens to

cept real estate, to bolster up with the

1t is most modest announcement
and will doubtless be carefully con-
sidered.
Boardman was not at the conclave.
Indeed, 1t is not certain that he was
even invited. Should he take it into
his head he may yet make considerable
trouble for the party on top of what it
now enjoys, and SO this meeting,
which was expected to do so much.

should receive the preference. Should
Fletcher consent to run, Potter would
be made president of the council, so
that he could act as mayor In Fletcher's
abSence-all this. however, being con-
tingent upon Flletcher's election, an eX-
IRENE improbability.
The last Of the startling exhibition of
grand and lofty tumDling in the Thirty
first senatorial district seems TO be not
yet over. A. j. Boardman declares
'boldly and without fear of cOntradic-
ton" that he was side-tracked off the
line to the mayoralty nomination and
named for senator against his will.
Yesterday A. j. wiped his brow and let
out this:
"There was one feature at the district
convention which nominated me for the
senate from the Thirty-first district
which, in justice to those attending the
causus at the Tenth precinct of the
Fourth ward, my own precinct, l wish
brought out. When my name was put
in nomination, and before the vote was
taken, | made the statement that my
name was not to be presented. nor were
tickets which we're there to
to be voted for me procured at
my solicitation; and that l had
always stated that l believed Mr.. Lang
don was the proper man to nominate
for the senate in that district. The
morning following the caucuses Mr..
Cole and went to Mr.. Langdon and
volunteered our support. detailing the
eral conferences with Mr.. langdon.
After hearing this statement, which
was not controverted by any of Mr..
Langdon's friends present at the conven-
ton, desired all of my friends to vote
for Mr.. Langdon, if even by implica-
ton there should seem to be any ques-
ton as to my good faith in the support
of Mr.. LangdOn. / expected to be
candidate, before the Republican city
convention, for mayor, and had no ex-
pectation of this nomination: nor did
ask any man of the fifty-eight in the
convention to vote for me-"
Has the firm of Boardman, Lane &
Cole, dealers in political futures and OPP
tions On nominations, been dissolved?
1t looks as if it might, because of differ
profits.
The Ninth warders are warm in the
region just below the hair line. because
of the nomination of j. ii. Bradish for
the legislature. A. d. Moe, who was a
delegate to the county convention, says
that Bradish was nominated by the
johnson and JamiSOn men from the
Second ward, when twelve out of the
eighteen delegates from the Ninth
ward asked for the nomination of l..
Lundequist. The Ninth warders don't
like to have Bradish rammed down
their Threats. Bradish's party say of
the eighteen delegates from the Ninth
ward, Bradish had eleven, divided as
follows: Three in the First precinct,
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, and two in the
Seventh.
NJ. B. Rollins has been nominated by
the Democrats of the Seventh ward for
a seat in the council. The name of W.
II. johnson, eX-alderman and eX-super-
intendent of water works, is being
urged as Republican candidate for
alderman from the Eleventh ward. r.
Mcdonald is also a candidate from the
same ward.
