not help our markets for what we pro-
duce, but, on the contrary, raises the
price of all cotton, linen and wollen
goods to those who have to buy them,
do you think the Mckinley bill is any
help to our people?" Won't Capt
Snider lay down his musket long
enough to answer this plain
question? 1t was stated that the goods
in transit to this country on the ocean
when the new tariff duties went into
effect would require additional pay
ments for duties amounting to s750,000.
Yet every dollar of this goes into the
national treasury to be added to the
price of the goods and repaid by the
consumer. 'How much of this will be
your share?" would be an interesting
conuDdrum to the taxpayer.
SO
Potter's "Keynote'' says the taxes in
Minneapolis have been reduced below
those of last year. This is not true.
The rate of taxation is lower, but the
valuation is higher. The last assess
ment added more than ten millions of
dollars to the city valuation. Go and
look Up your taxes and see if this isn't
true.
One of the unique things of this cam
| paign is the series of forum" debates
that have been held at Harmonic hall.
Last evening the topic was 1.-The Atti-
ward Labor" 9. j. Buell., with his
name brushed back from his expansive
brow, did battle for the Democrats, and
charged the Republicans with bring
| ing about the present condition
| of affairs in this laud of plenty which
| tends to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer. Next Messrs. Edwards
and Upper, ProhIbitionists, sailed in
| and tried to convince their hearers that
| the millennium will arrive when total alb
| Stinence is enforced by law. F. b.
| Hart, the Republican champion, nearly
raised the roof with his clarion voice,
and proclaimed that the Republican
| party is the party of progress.
| He instanced Jay Gould as one
example Of what a frugal man of
| financial turn of mind can do in this
| country, and said the same opportunity
| is open to any industrious man. He was
| laughed at and Kissed for this by the
| 800 people or SO in the hall, wnereupon
| you geese" He closed abruptly, and
| left the hall as soon as he coutd get on
| his hat and coat.
e. M. johnson has been divorced from
| the city council, and no one will mourn
the decision of the 'court'' in accepting
| the evidence in his case as prima facie.
| The people of Minneapolis have for
| long time been trying to relegate him
into obscurity, and now that he has de-
| scended from the aldermanic throne it
is safe to bank that he will never be
called upon again to act in any public
official capacity. The residents of the
| Second and Ninth wards well know
that he has played strong Lowry hand
in the council, and they do not propose
to sanction his acti on by electing HIM to
the senate so that ratification Of that
| $4,000. 600 exclusive franchise can be Sc
cured. Hereafter E. NJ. johnson can be
| considered as a back number.
| Robert Jameson, j. 81. Bradish and
| Dave Clough had little conference in
one of the council committee rooms last
! evening that had considerable political
significance. 1t is a well-knOwn fact
that Clough is in the van of the Lowry
Thirtieth legislative fight. but Dave
ought to realize by this time that the
East side citizens are little weary over
anything that he is connected with.
| His record for the past year in ''affairs"
| surpasSeS any ever made in Minneap-
| oils.
Aid. Adams exhibited his customary
| generosity to his constituents at last
| nights council meeting by declining to
| vote on a proposition whereby the resi-
| dents of the Twelfth ward would have
been given a satisfactory water supply.
| The fact that Adams defeated the $1,000
| appropriation from the permanent fund
to make improvements in his ward is
| still fresh in the minds of his cOnstit-
uents, and that, together with his action
| at last nights meeting, will undoubtedly
cause his defeat for reelection. Adams
| intimates that he has cinch oil the old
| soldier vote by keeping them sober
| and at the falls,'' but undoubtedly the
taxpayers of the ward will have some
| thing to say this time about who shall
represent them in the council.
~
The Democrats of the Ninth ward
will hold grand rally at New Boston
next Thursday evening. A long list of
| well-known speakers has been secured,
and Aid. j. II. BradiSh and E. NJ john
son can prepare to be dissected. The
| Democrats of the lower end of the ward
will march up in body, headed by a
brass band.
Oh, no Aid. Brueshaber is not a
bolter; az leastsso he would try to make
some people believe. He attempted to
1 CdlIE IilIOuSn JltllO SCu6uiS dt ldSG
| nights council meeting, whereby he
would have secured at least fifty votes
against his colleague, Aid. Ingenhutt.
When the granting of license to
Frank Hortenbach for running
saloon in the First ward
came up Brueshaber recorded
the only vote against the granting of it.
Hortenbrch is not a resident of the First
ward, and it is claimed that the saloon
keepers pledged themselves to support
ChattertOn for alderman in case the dis
gruntled alderman could defeat the
measure. INow that the saloon men have
found out that Brueshaber only controls
his own vote they will take but little
stock in him.
Jay Phillips intimates, on the gu let.
that his reelection is not yet assured,
though he has strong hopes tina lie will
come out winner as usual. There is
no doubt In the mind of any of Jays
constituents, but what he is "winner"
as far as his connection with the cOun-
Gil is concerned, and that is just why
they intend to knife him up the back
bone Oh the 4th day of November. The
laboring people of the Eleventh ward,
and in fact, q ii over town, have 10 time
for Jay. He was SympathiZer with
the street car strikers two years ago,
and few months later he announced
his allegiance to the street car company.

Robb, John H. Long and others.

will be h ED Monday evening, at the
corner of Twenty-si xth avenue and
Eighth street north. to be addressed by
p. p. Swensen. Orville Rhinehardt and
others.
Said by DR.. Storrs.
Last night the Swedish tabernacle at
Seventh street and Eighth avenue
south was crowded to the doors by peo-
pie anxious to hear Rev. DIR. r. S.
Storrs, the eminent pulpit orator from
Brooklyn. DR.. Storrs took up
the question of every man hav-
