the municipal judgeship, for did not the
"Scandinavians insist on it?
J. F. Curtis, the well.known colored man,
said last night: Eyes, / heard the speeches
at the city convention. saying that the col
ored people were Republican and would vote
solidly for kIefer. but that is nothing but
fill-in. words, the argument OF young law
yer. The colored voters have formed the
greatest organization known and have
cleaned wisdom enough to support their
friends. The Republicans have taken from
them what was given by their opponents; we
are making no fuss but are simply playing
clam till the time comes to act"
Delegate Shepherd knows Sam Nichols
When the state oil inspector declared that
he did not want the nomination for CITY
comptroller, Mr.. Shepherd plumply replied
that he did not believe Mr.. Nichols. Subse-
auent events proved that Mr.. Shepherd was
correct. Sans declination was bit of
bluff. He wanted the nomination sorely,
but did not want the convention to think So
When he was accorded the unanimous nomi-
nation there was no scruple on the part Of
MIR. Nichols accepting it.
Here is a quotation from a speech of ''that
silver-tOngued orator, Darius f. Reese wide
Daily News: "A week ago day on All
Fools. day, remnant of the Democratic
party of this city, backed by gang or po-
litical parasites that for quarter of a century
has been feeding on the public treasury OF
st. Paul, met in this hall and went through
the miserable FOOLS joke of putting ticket
in the field.''
Herman Stockenstrom made a bad break
in supporting the nomination of u. j.
Lumen for municipal Judge. He said the
Scandinavians insisted on this nomination.
and warned the delegates of the consequence
if Lomen was sheIved Think of that! Ac
cept my candidate or get out. Is that Scan
dinavian Republicanism? Mr.. Stockenstrom
surely libels his nationality.
E. p. Wade, the colored messenger at the
qtQ 70 nYpantiVa do rtmQnt tho Rpnnb-
licans offered him the nomination of alder
man for the Third ward. When asked why
he did not accept it, he declared that he was
not going to run merely to let Aid. Conley
this is that Wade could not rely upon the
support of the rauk and file of his oWn-the
great Republican-party.
Nels J. Ness was sadly cut up when his
name did not appear i'll the list recon-
mended for aldermen at large. He even got
up in the convention and protested. When
his request to have his own pane substituted
for that of E. Il. Bryant was disregarded
Mr.. Ness made tracks for the door, wildly
waving his hat as the most forcible way OF
expressing his disgust.
The emphasis which Sam Nichols placed
on his financial inability to make the cam
paign for comptroller might lead to the in
ference that Samuel only knew one way of
c0nducunga political campaign. Why doesn't
Mr.. Nichols make bis fight on the same
honesty and ability-and let the DOODLE go
for once?
In heavens name what has shat arch
traitor. the president of the Confederacy,"
got to do with the selection of men capable
and qualified to govern growing municipal
ity? Aid. Sanborn trotted out the usual Re-
publican hobby-horse, but. beyond rouslng
the passions of his auditors, it cannot be
said to have served any good purpose.
Louis Memo will not miss Republican
convention if he can help ii. He landed into
the Newmarket yesterday, having shaken the
day, and soon had secured proxy as
delegate. Louis has political aspirations.
and invariably gets to the front at all con
yentions of his party.
uHenry Johns blushed, The reddish tinge
of head covering was thrown into shade:
aud it occurred when Charles j. Berryhill de-
nounced the attempt of the leaders of the
convention TO thrust y particular set of men
down the Threats of the delegates. After
all, Henry Johns is only young man. He
will grow out of that blushing in time.
The qualifications needed TO be a Repub-
lican candidate are: First bled for your
country; second, of Scandinavian or German
parentage third, live next door to Repub-
lican boss. The possession of one of these
qualifications is sure to land you at the de-
sired goal.
John A. Swenson could have secured the
nomination for city treasurer. He would
have made much stronger candidate than
Conrad w. Miller. who is he?' was the
question put privately to many delegates.
The question the 9th OF May will be: Where
is he!'
Aid. Sanborn's thrust at W. Pitt Murray
was somewhat out of place. The excity at
torney is not the only man who has fed
many years at the pap of the public treasury.
There is Sam Nichols. who is still bleeding,
and is DESTROYS of bleeding, the public purse.
I'll Radiator c,naraSf mobilization
among the delegates There was none of
that noisy bravado about him, but he got
there just the same. The colonel is Ger
man by birth, but q true American at heart.
He believes in electing men for their worth.
Capt. Burger was as irrepressible as ever.
He dubbed over at the outset of the conven-
tiou, when Col. Bobleter got hold of him and
made him promise to let somebody else get a
few words in edgeways. The captain is in
his element when running convention.
The committee on credentials. was absent
nearly an hour. During the interval the
candidates for nomination put in some tall
hustling. 1t was toss-np then who would
be selected for comptroller. treasurer. alder
men at large and municipal judges.
c. s. BruRson, of union depot fame. was
the only delegate glorying in the distinction
of a bald head. The bald patch glistened in
the sunlight when Charlie rose to address:
''Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven-
ton"
The leaders of Yesterdays convention
Walter II. Sanborn. Capt. Burger, Henry
Johns, Moritz Deinstag. Samuel LOwenstein
and Darius F. Reese. If you have not brains
or money-well, "cheek" is good substi-
tute.
HE is an old soldier; he defended your
country; you are in honor bound to provide
for him position''-that is the kind of stuff
that went best in the convention. The nomi-
nation went through with whoop.
Charles j. Berryhill-We came here as
delegates to nominate q city Republican
ticket, and we are not going to allow Il set of
men to thrust down Our Threats any partlcu-
lar candidates for nomination.
Il was close fight between Joseph A. San
some and C. E. Keller for alderman at large.
The committee appointed to make selections
was almost evenly divided. Keller got the
nomination by single vote.
According to Sam Lowenstein, every man
nominated on the Republican ticket is an
honest true and upright gentlemen. They
claim monopoly of that kind of thing in
the Republican party.
There was whoop and yell when that
''arch conspirator, the president OF the Con-
You viii always find him at Republican
convention.
What connection has the ''bloody Shirt
with the good government Of city? Boil
down the speeches of the Republican orators
and you have nothing left but appeals to

Matt Jansen's candidacy for city treasurer
did not materialize, At the eleventh hour
Matt declined the use of his name. 1t is
said he could have got the nomination ali
right.
Demagogism is all right in its place, but
certainly "a Republican city convention i'll
the year Of our Lord 800 in the city of St.
Paul. is not the place for it.
Aid. Sanborn-I consider it no light call
to be called upon to preside over Repub-
lican city convention in the year of our Lord
1890 in the city of ST. Paul.
What would the convention have done
without Sam Lowenstein and the worthy
true, honest and upright" gentlemen he NOM
mated for office?
Moritz DeniStag ran Capt. Joe Burger a
good race. He addressed the chair eleven
times. When Moritz was down Joe was up,
and vice versa.
Darius F. Reese would do we'll for the
Methodist pulpit. but on the political rostrum
well. there is too much of the demagogue
about him.
George Leisander, deputy register of deeds,
was delegate from the First ward by proxy.
Leisander is not talker. He votes and
smokes.
City Attorney Holman. who, according to
Aid. Sanborn, NOW sits in the seat of King
Bee of the Democracy" was spectator.
