SAINT PAUL.
DAUNTED. BY NOTHING.
The PrOhibitionists Put a City
Ticket in the Field.


The Prohibition convention to nomi-
nate candidates for city offices was held
last night at 141 East Ninth street.
There were abouto one hundred delegates
and spectators present. Evert p.
Maule was elected chairman, Charles
n. Woodward secretary, and f.
Il. McManigal and John W.
RhineS as inspectors OF election.
1t had been previously determined to
administer an obligation to the officers
to faithfully discharge their duties.
The chairman, when he came for ward,
announced that he did not swear, but
would affirm the requisite obligation
which was done, and he subscribed to
the obligation. All the other officers
were sworn and subscribed the
form Of oath before ID. w. Doty.
The chairman, in accepting the office,
made speech in which he expressed
his pride at the honor of being chair
man. He would rather have that posi-
ton than like one over the last Chi
cag0 convention. He had never voted
for either of the old parties, and felt
that by voting the third party ticket he
was voting for God and his country.
Those entitled to participate in the con-
ventiOn were declared to be legal
electors at the city election, and
Ill addition to pledge themselves
to support the nominees of the cOnven-
ton. This regulation brought Rev.
Freeman to the floor to explain that
member of his church had been in
dOrsed for alderman, and he intimated
that he felt like he ought to support
him, although he did not say so. He
clearly indicated by his manner that he
was on the fence. Chairman Maule
made another speech in which he
quoted approvingly newspaper state
ment that the Democratic ticket was
favOrably of Van Slyke. Charles
w. Woodward in his speech said that
while something had been said of Mayor
Smiths connection with the distillery,
it must not be forgotten that Col. Kiefer
made his money In wholesale liquor
store. Several others made speeches, in
which various opinions were expressed.
David Morgan, of the committee OIL plat
form, reported the platform. EXcep-
tiOns to the reference to the Republican
party as being dominated by the rabDle
were taken By Rev. Freeman. and
the platform was referred back. 1t was
again presented in the following form:
The enforcement OF the law is essential to
the life of the republic.
The Democratic party has chosen its can
didate for mayor chiefly because of his fail
ure and explicit refusal to enforce the laws,
especially those relating to the saloon, the
brothel and the Dissertation of the American
Sabbath. The Republican party will doubt
less select its candidate chiefly because, il
elected, he may be safely expected to con.
tinue the same unlawful, un-American and
shameful license. to evil under which we
now live.
We demand the enforcement of the laws
and we appeal for support to all who love
home more than the saloon, and who place
patriotism above the spOils of Office.
After some discussion the platform was
apopted. n. Il. Frost had been spoken
of for mayor, and asked that his name
should not be considered. He was NOM
mated by acclamation, but again de-
clined, as he had told his wife that he
would not be candidate. Subsequently
he accepted the nomination. The COM
plete ticket is as follows:
Mayor--N. r. Frost.
omptroller-EvertP Maule.
Treasurer &C. w. GriggS.
Municipal Judges-Daniel W. Doty and c.
n. Ackers.
Aldermen at Iarge-Dr. Francis Mcclure,
j. w. Rhines, W. B. McManigal, Oscar Wolf,
George Drew and John NJ. Dolby.
A committee was appointed to select
the names of the candidates other than
that of mayor, the members of which
were: Auken. Westfall, Hatch, Win
ken, Book. Frost, Webster, Odell, and
DR.. Mcclure. Somewhat over 5000 was
raised !, for campaign purposes. 1t
was stated that it was the inten-
tion of making out the certificates
of nomination Immediately, so that
the candidates might be placed as sec
ond on the tickets prepared by the city
clerk, and thus the Prohibition party
would be known as the second party
and not the third party. No n0mina-
tionsi were made for ward aldermen, but
the following names were prominently
mentioned: Edward e. Miller, of the
Second ward; M. p. Hatch, of the Third
ward; Stillman Meeker, OF the Fourth
ward; q. S. Spicer, of the Fifth ward,
and Charles F. Howard. of the Seventh
ward.
