There is possibility that the voters
of the Fourth judicial district may yet
cast their ballots for non-partisan tic
ket. Thomas CAVITY has withdrawn
from the judicial fight. 1t is under
stood his withdrawal is conditional, and
to certain extent still further compli-
Gates this vexatious question; but it is,
nevertheless, withdrawal, and offers a
change for compromise. Yesterday
Mr.. Canty announced to tile Democratic
judicial committee that he would with
draw his name from the consideration
of the committee as a judicial candidate
if he could be released from further obli-
cations to the party. He meant, in effect,
that he didn't want the Democratic COM
mittee to interfere with his lndepend-
ent candidacy. CAVITY is determined to
become candidate for district Judge;
if not OH the Democratic ticket. then ON
little ticket of his own. But candi-
date he will be, and he will go before
the people as the pronounced enemy of
the street railway company. Mr..
Canty, according to the publications of
his withdrawal in the evening pa
pers, which purport to give his
reasons for withdrawing, intimates
that he pulls out of the race because the
GLOBE has threatened to knife him, and
because he refuses to stand in the way
of Judge Seagrave Smith. If these rea-
sons emanated from Mr.. CAVITY. he is
certainly in error. at least regarding the
first one. The GLOBE has never threat
ened to knife MIR. CAVITY, nor any other
man. The GLOBE is a Democratic pa
per, and supports the Democratic ticket.
Said he yesterday:
stI 6n not knOxu nor dO / aarQ WhQthQr
l will be elected OF not, but L would
like to find out how the people feel in
this matter, and so, if all goes well, l
will run as an independent candidate
against the mOnopolieS. / can get the
necessary 200 signers to my petition for
an independent candidacy in twenty-five
minutes, so, in brief, L only wish to re-
lease my friends from all pledges made
in my behalf. and. at the same time,
free myself from all promises made to
them"
Now what will be the result of Can US
withdrawal? Frankly, nobody knows.
The withdrawal may have come too
late; the Democratic committee may re-
fuse to allow CAVITY to withdraw; the
Republicans may refuse to take cog
niZance of the withdrawal; both parties
may come together and put up nom
partisan ticket. Any one of these con-
tingencieS offers possibility. Take
your choice. Should the Democratic
committee consent to Canty'S con-
ditiOns, a man can be proposed
any one of the half dozen
men who have been mentioned before,
or one of fifty good lawyers-who will
be Endorsed by the Republicans. But
rumor has it that Dr.. Ames, chairman
Of I, .oI Y,,ft r-nf, IN
call that body together again. That
may be only rumor, but it comes from
one of the committee. DR.. Ames could
not be found yesterday. and verifcation
was impossible. The committee
will probably come together again,
though, for Louis r. Thion
has postponed the calling of the dis
trict judicial convention in order to
afford time for compromise, he having
been Informed that an agreement could
be reached. Meanwhile the Republi.
cans have grown weary of waiting, and
Judge j. o. Pierce has called their con
ventiOn for Oct. 8. 1t will be held in
the Union league rooms at Il
| jority of the Republicans or
the Hennepin committee favor
compromise; so. even if no agreement
| is effected before Oct. 8, or if none is
attempted, should the Democratic dis
| trict convention be called to meet in
| Minneapolis on the same day, non
partisan ticket could be made up. 1t is
| too early to prOgnOsticate ON what will
be done. Straight tickets may be nom.
mated by both parties. In that event
the Republicans may act in accordance
with the opinion of a prominent Repub
lican who is in position to know the
feeling of his party on the matter. Sale
he yesterday, with knowing look il
| his eye:
81 hope they don't compromise. I
think, too, that a good judicial ticket
| for us to nominate would be Judges
Hooker. Young and Smith, and Rober
| D. RUSSELL"

| The Farmers Alliance-althougl
| what farmers have to do with city tick
| cts Is not plain-is in peculiar predica
ment. 1t has plenty of orators but NJ
candidates to call out the OratOry. Nov
William Grimshaw, who was nominated
by the farmers for mayor of MinneapO
lis, refuses to run. He was not fount
by the committee sent to hunt him VI
Tuesday night, but yesterday he said t.
reporter:
81 appreciate the nomination as
very high compliment. l believe in tn,
platform of the party. am in favor O
the eighthour movement, and woult
vote that the city own and operate it
own street cars and other public con
veniences. l am outside of the oil
parties and am in sympathy with TIL
Alliance movement, but do not care t.
say to-day what | shall do. l will sa,
tomorrow, however, and | propose t,
give the reasons for my action"
The citizens of the Twelfth ward, ant
especially those that reside in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Minnehaha Falls
are trif1e indignant toward Aid
Adams for acquiesing when the stree
railway company desired to do ava,

wool over his eyes as usual, and Wood

Adams constituents either hav
to come to town on all earl

is quoted as saying with much satisfac

"The old soldiers don't like it. blu

me-" No doubt Adams thinks that h
can bulldoZe the old soldiers by keepin
them isolated from people who are az
quainted with his record. but he will b
greatly mistaken. Adams has been il

constituents say the only thing he eve
did was to defeat the resolution gram

Thomas Scott yesterday resigne
from the Democratic city committee
He found that he could not attend to S
much work. He was ON both the cit
and county committees, and, beside
that, was member of the subdivision

of them took UP so much of his tim
that he was forced to neglect his bus
ness at the Humboldt. Mr.. Scott is
