The Democratic county committee
must demand of Messrs. Sanborn and
Dean their withdrawal from the DEM
ocratic ticket.
ms is practically the unanimous de-
sire of the Democratic voters of Ramsey
county, who decline longer to be made
the victims of Republican trickery and
dishonesty. The Endorsement of these
two Republicans was never desired by
the rank and file of the party, and was
only submitted to in the first place
for the sake of harmony and the
thought that perhaps through it a
stronger senatorial delegation could be
chosen. When. however, the Republi-
can politicians, by the nomination
OF Washburn's lieutenant, Hon.
ID. +. Stevens, gave notice that
they proposed to take advantage of the
non-partisan feeling among the Demo-
Gratis and thereby steal a senatorship,
this latent feeling of dissatisfaction
was aroused. which was last week
famed into a fame by the nomination
OF that worst representative of the skid''
element in Republican politics, Henry
johns. for the state senate against Hon.
G. H. Lienau.
The "kids" nominated Johns and
drove ST veral long nails into the DO
litlcal collins of Gen. John B. Sanborn
and w. B. Dean.
The law partners of Senator C. r.
Davis, as we'll as the friends of both
Dean and SanbOrn, are making an effort
to pull Johns off the track, and it is
even limited that the fair-haired leader
of the kids" has been offered pecuni-
airy consideration to accede to their de-
slres. Be this as it may. the fighting De-
mocracy of the city will refuse to be sat
isfed with anything less than half
Of the senatorial delegation from this
county, and, as Ill. f. Stevens declines
to withdraw, even if Johns consents,
the Democrats will insist upon nomi-
mating candidates against both Sanborn
and Dean.
But will these gentlemen, Gen. San
born and Mr.. Dean, pull off the Demo-
cratic ticket il requested by the Demo-
cratic committee?
They cannot do otherwise. Both of
them know that their Endorsements in
the Democratic convention were OBJ
tanned with the distinct understanding
that the Republican convention would
extend the same courtesy toward MeSSrs.
Lienau and Benedict, the Democratic
nominees on the Citizens ticket. This
ton failed to carry out, and to honora-
BILE men like Gen. Sanborn and w. B.
Dean there is but one course open
for them to pursue, and that is to with
draw from the Democratic ticket upon
the request of the representatives OF
that party. Any other action OH their
part will place them in the same cate
CORY with the disreputable gang IN con-
troll of the Republican party of this
county. And more than this, decin-
alton to withdraw from them under
these circumstances will anger every
Democrat and many independent and
fair-minded citizens of other parties
and insure the defeat of both of these
gentlemen at the polls. A prominent
Democrat remarked yesterday:
''All the Democrats want is fair play
in this contest. We do not
propose to be bamboozed out of
anything. [ was a member of that
citizens committee, and agreed to the
Endorsement of the senatorial ticket
with the distinct understanding that the
Republican members of that committee
would see to it that the same action
would be taken by the Republican
county convention. This they failed to
do. the desire for partisan advantage
or theft being too strong for them to
put aside. Now the Democratic voters
insist on making a fight all along the
line, and want to assure the leaders
that their requests and demands must
not be disregarded by the powers that
be- in the party in this county,"
The Democratic. county committee
will be called together very shortly to
o0Ocidar thic upacfinn 1nd fboro 4,
little dodbt that it will be decided to
make demand for the withdrawal of
Messrs. Dean and Sanborn. A promi-
nent member of the committee, in
speaking of the situation to GLOBE
representative yesterday, said:
''The committee has got to take action
in this matter at once. Democratic can
didates must be placed in the field
against both Gen. Sanborn and MFR.
Dean. The interests of the party
demand it, and it is the
desire of all Democratic and
Independent voters. | believe we can
elect every one of the four senators if
the proper nominations are made in
these districts, besides adding consid-
cradle strength to the county and COLI
gressional tickets
The subject of candidates has, of
course, been canvassed, and it is safe to
say that two of the most popular men
in the city can be induced TO enter the
field against the Republican nominees.
In Gen. Sanborn's district Hon. Albert
Scheffer is the favorite, and, it is said,
will accept the nomination. In this
event it is not at all difficult
to predict the outcome of the contest
at the polls in next November. In the
district composed Of the Seventh and
Eighth wards, Henry Michel may be
asked to accept the nomination. in
which case his election would follow by
a handsome majority. Hon. A. p. Hem
erickson and Mayor Smith are also dis
cussed by the people. Any one of the
three can be elected over the present
candidate.
Gen. Sanborn and W. B. Dean must
be pulled off the Democratic ticket and
popular Democrats named in their
places.
A rousing meeting was held in the
First ward last evening at $40 Decatur
