of the Pioneer Press. Mr.. Williams
was the choice Of DR.. Sandberg, the Re
publican candidate for alderman in the
Third. and was generally supposed to
be fixture Oh the Republican city COM
mittee from the fact that he was a
very useful member. He it was who
prepared the lists of polling places. ap-
portlonment, and almost everything
else that required ability and work uur-
ing the prellminaries that led up to the
late Republican city convention. and,
as prominent member of the Republi-
can party remarked yesterday, Ibis
failure to secure reappointnent is due
to just three causes. Iney are:
''First-Williams was friend Of AL.
bert Scheffer in the campaign of 1883. s.
"Second-The complete Subserviency
of Aid. SanbOrn TO Governor Merriam.
''Third-The jealousy of a number of
the young Republicans in the eastern
end of the city, who are afraid of Will
Jams and want to down him."
1.-The enemies of Mr.. Williams made
use of the baseSt methods to secure the
appointment of another: man in his
place." said a gentleman quite promi-
nent in city politics yesterday after
noon. ''He was charged with being
favorable to certain of the Democratic
| nominees, particularly Aid. Coniey-
even il true the latter ought not to be
very much against him, for most of the
prominent Republicans in the Third
ward favor Mr.. Conley'S reelection
but the fact that DIR. Sandberg indorsed
Mr. Williams and asked for his reap
pontment at the hands Of. Ale, Sanborn
ought to he a sufficient REPUTATION of
| this charge. Depend upon it, this slight
will not DO the Republican city ticket
any good. Milhan is a good enough
| fellow, but he doesn't understand the
political situation in the Third ward"
A GLOBE reporter saw one of the
prominent anti Williams men yesterday
! afternoon, who. by the way, holds down
| a good position in the state capitol, and
asked him why Mr.. Williams was
| dropped from the city committee.
'WilliamS was not reappointed be-
cause he was too familiar with certain
Democrats" was the answer. and a
faint attempt alta smile crept over the
youthful Republican patriots counte-
nance.
The new Republican city committee
may not be such ''corker" after all.
The voters of the Sixth ward are rail-
| lying in great shape Tor Ali. Melady.
| MIR. Melady. during the years he has
represented the West side IN the city
! council, has done great deal for that
| section of the city. Ouly month or so
| ago he secured an appropriation for the
construction of the West side levee,
! and has invariably by hard and untiring
! labor secured whatever improvements
were needed by the ward. He is not a
new conner to the city, as is his oppo-
npnt, but has resided in st. Paul ever
since 1865. He is acquainted with
| the needs of the ward he rep
resentS, and can do more for
the West side than any other
man who could be elected. If faithful
and honest work in the past is to count
for anything in this canvass Aid. Me-
lady will be reelected by handsome
! majority.
The Eighth Ward Democratic club
! will meet at SAL Rice street tomorrow
| evening. A number of good speak, rs
will be present, who will address the
voters upon the issues involved In the
present campaign.
Every Democrat should see to it that
he is registered in his proper ward on
| one OF the three regular registration
days before May 6. On next Tuesday,
April Is, the first opportunity to regis
| ter, the booths will be open from 9
O'Clock in the morning until z O'Clock in
the evening. Two more opportunities
will be given, on April % and 20, one
| and two weeks respectively from next
! Tuesday. Register Tuesday aud see
| that your friends are also registered.
Don't put it off until the last day and
| run the risk of forgetting it altogether,
and thus losing your vote.
Col. Kiefer will talk to the members
of the Independent political club of the
Eighth ward on Monday evening.
| Nels j. Ness, the rustIing West Side
contractor has it in for E. X. Bryant
and is doing some lively Skirmishing
against him. OF course Nels wanted
the Office himself, but he has host oil
friends who will follow his lead and
| help to slaughter several obnoxious
candidates at the polls. -:
"The nomination of Sam Nichols fol
comptroller made me sick" remarked a
st. Paul Republican who returned to
the city yesterday after an absence of
several months. THAT nomination
alone would swamp good ticket, and ]
predict that it will bury Col. Kiefer and
the entire ticket. AS far ash eau see
the Democrats are more united than
they have been for number of years,
and l fancy the kids will learn a thing
OF two about politics before they get
through with this campaign"
The GLOBES likeness of Samuel
Lowenstein was pronounced excellent
by Mr.. Loweustein's friends. 1t was
made with special reference to ay0iTdu
pois, and showed up Samuel's weight as
no other newspaper picture ever did.
However, Mr.. Lowenstein'S exit was
not forced; he was not candidate for
reappointment on the city committee.
