Field Marshal Won Moltke is a sol

DEMOCRATS,

Be careful how you prepare your bal
lots tomorrow.
There will be three official ballots,
which will be furnished you by the
election judges.
The ballot printed on white paper
will contain the state ticket.
The blue paper ballot will have the
names of the county candidates.
And the red paper ballot will have
the legislative candidates. including
senators, representatives and county
commissioners.
A cross mark (X) placed opposite the
name of the first Democrat on each bal
lot will count as Il vote for the whole
Democratic ticket.
On the white ballot you will put your
\ mark opposite the name of THOMAS
WILSON.
On the blue ballot you will want to
put the Y mark opposite the name of
RICHARD Z. O'CoNNoR.
On the red ballot you will put the x
mark opposite the name of the Demo
cratic candidate for state senator in
your district. In two of the districts
the same persons are running for sena-
tor on both tickets, and their names
will be printed OH the ballot both as
Democrats and Republicans. You will
want to be careful to put the Y mark
opposite the candidates name where it
appears with the word Democrat"
after it.

To-MoRRow,s OUTLOOK.

The man who says that he knows to
an absolute certainty how the election
is going in this state Tomorrow simply
demonstrates that he doesn't know any
thing about it, The oldest men and the
most astute politicians frankly confess
that there has never been a time in the
history of Minnesota when everything
was So much at sea in the political sit
Uation as 1t is to-day. That untried
quantity, the Alliance movement, has
created an uncertainty in the politics of
the state which cannot he reduced
t0 even an approximate certainty until
the ballots have been cast and the votes
have been counted.
We publish elsewhere tabulated
statement of what the vote will be by
counties according to the Information
the GLOBE has in hand. Or course this
statement, like all other ante-electinn
statements. is largely guesswork. 1t is
not our guesSwork, but it is a tai u'a-
ton of the predictions that have come
in from all parts Of the state, and from
what We regarded as the most available
and the most reliable sources. 1t is
merely consensus of public opinion as
we have gathered it from Republicans
and Democrats throughout the state.
THIS aggregation of public opinion is
prophetic of the election of the Demo
cratic state ticket and the election of
four Democratic congressman.
We hope the prophecy may be real
lied, and we will go further and say
that we have confident expectation it
will be. 1t is our individual opinion
that the vote for the Alliance candidate
will be larger than that given in our
table; and, as matter of course, any
increase in OWENS vote will be cor
responding decrease in WILSON'S and
MERRlAM's vote, with the advantage of
the decrease in Wilson's favor. If the
Alliance vote should fall under the esti,
mate given i'll our table MERRIAM would
be cOrrespondingly the gamer. SO that
10y any figuring we may do the fact re-
mains that the election is going TO be
exceedingly close. one of the closest we
have ever known in Minnesota; and it
beho0ves every Democrat to be at the
polls tomorrow and give his vote
straight for the Democratic ticket.
1t is known that tabuIated state
ment, made at Republican headquarters
few days ago from the reports of the
various Republican county committees,
fixed MERRIAM's plurality at less than
1910. This was done purely on Re-
publican estimate furnished by men
whose duty it was to give the most
roseate partisan cOlOring to their re-
ports that it was possible to give, and
yet they could only pullthe state ticket
up 10 within 1000 OF plu rality. Our
statement, which is gathered from both
Republican and Democratic sources.
aud from persons who have no special
interest in the result. gives WILSON a
plurality of 600. Here is only differ
ehce of 10000 in the two statements,
which proves that the election is going

Mrs. Anderson has also three children,

ATTACKING STANLEY.

the charges made by the frie nds of
Maj Barttelot to indicate thatlhe is fully
prepared to meet them. In fact, it
LOOKS as if he carried guns i'm the shape
of facts altogether too heavy for his

In following the controversy, there is
one consideration to be horne in mind:
Stanley is alive and Barttelot is dead.
The former has made certain statements
which the Journals of the latter contra
dict. Stanley has an opportunity to
answer these contradictions without
fear OF rejoinder from his murdered
suooriinate.-A lbany journal.
On the eve of his departure from En-

those who envy him his well-won fame,
or it may be who think him unworthy
the homage which the humblest and

WON'T HELP THE WEST.

The reciprocity of the MCKINLEY bill
is essentially sectional. So FIR as it
promises advantage it is for section.
The country has suffered terribly In the
past from policies that have looked TO
the benefit of one portion to the detri-
ment of the others. Free trade with
the South American states, for that is
the proposition, promises nothing for
the farmer or manufacturer of the West
1t Will perhaps open up new markets
for the manufacturers of the East, but
will not make way for any more BUSH
els of wheat or barrels of pork. They
are agricultural countries, and their
products go, and will still more go, into
the markets of the world in competition
with the farm products of this country.
The West will have increased taxation
only as its share in the reciprocity pro-
posed, and still more restricted markets
for its agricultural products.

the Alliance party. In proportion as
OWENS vote goes above or below 10000
will the chances of WILSON or MER.
RAM be promoted.
The same is measurably true OF the
congressional candidates ia the several
districts. Except in this district, every
thing depends on the development OF
the Alliance movement. Here it is q
fair and square fight between SNYDER
and CASTLE, with the latter holding
the vantage ground. The people of
this district are in sympathy with the
cause that CASTLE represents, and
nothing but lavish use of Doodle can
defeat him. The Democrats are I'M
fortunately without candidate in the
Second district. In the First and Third
districts the success of the Democratic
candidates is practically assured. 1t
looks now to be walk-over for o. M.
HALL in the Third district. and fairly
easy sailing for Capt. HARRIEs in the
First. In the Fifth district the fiercest
battle Of the campaign has been waged.
Although he started into the fight with
tremendous odds against him. Mr..
w III IEMAN HAS uIduC uiOSJ DTlIlldilt
canvass. He has a superb organization
of his party in that district, and though
it may sound strange to say that DEM
ocrat can be elected in the ''BiOOdy
Fifth" it is known to an absolute GER
tainty that WHITMAN has splendid
showing for election. His vote to-mor-
row will be a surprise to the old ring
sters who have ruled that district with
rod of iron.
Altogether the outlook is most en-
couraging to the Democrats. 1t is suf-
ficiently so to stimulate them to stand
together and win splendid triumph in
the cause of the people.
For Ramsey county we speak advised
~. There has never been time when
there was as much harmony and enthu-
siasm among the Democrats OF this
county. There is no trace of faction or
division anywhere. They are IN line to
man, inspired by the great principles at
stake, and will roll up such Demo-
ocratic majority tomorrow as will
make the advocates of the MCKINLEY
tariff sick at heart. If Democrats
throughout the state will do as we'll as
we shall do here in Ramsey county, it
Will be great victory for US.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Nov. George
.Shinn. who, with Charley Dorsey. alias
Thorn, escaped from San Quentin
prison three years ago and was recently
captured in Chicago by Detective j. B.
Hume, has made a most startling con-
fession. Ever since they escaped De-
tective Hume has believed they were in
this state, and were perpetrators of
numerous stage rObberies which have
occurred since then, but he was not
able to obtain any positive evidence.
Friday night Shinn was transferred from
San Quentin to Folsom by special ar
rangement made by Warden Auli and
Detective Hume. Yesterday the war
den and detective interviewed Shinn
for over three hours. lie confessed
that he and Thorn returned to Califor-
MIA In 1883 and camped on the Am srican
river. about three miles from this city !.
This was their rendezvous, to which
they always returned after their
RAIDS. He admits that on the
3lst OF July, 18S3.tnty stopped the stage
from Milton to Sonora. aud robbed the
passengers Of $50 and blew open the
Wells-Fargo treasure box, but found it
empty. On the 10th of September of
the same year they stopped the stage
between Quincy and Orrville and took a
gold bar worth $500 from the Wells
Fargo box. In April of this year they
held up the Forest Hill stage in Placer
county and robbed the passengers. Be-
sides these rObberies. Shinu confess ed
to numerous burglarieS, garroting and
robberies committed by him and Thorn.
They returned to Chicago May 50, this
year, and he says between that time and
the date Of the capture they committed
sometning like twenty-five rooberies
AMI burglaries in the state of Illinois.
Their rendezvous ON the American
river has been found by Chief of Police
Drew, OF this city who hunted for it
foul weeks before he found it. He
says it is an ideal robbers roost, aud
robbers could never be dislodged
from 1t.
