candidates against w. B. Dean and Gen.
John b. Sanborn. They have all along
been counting on the Democracy SUBJ
uniting calmly, and making no fight
against these two men. Now. however,
all is changed, and, headed by Senator
Davis law partners, Messrs. Kellogg
and Severance, a number of Republic
cans are demanding that both Fl. F.
Stevens and Henry Johns be pulled
down. and fair division of the sena-
'torshipS made as was planned by the
citizens committee in the beginning.
These demands are not at all likely to
be needed. Mr.. Stevens is anxious to
get into the legislature again, as he
knows that two years hence he will in
that event have another opportunity to
vote for United States senator. The
fact that he was an ardent supporter of
Gen. w. d. Washburn two years ago is
not being used as q campaign argu-
ment by Mr.. Stevens supporters vet,
but there is no doubt that it will be
brought out later. I he fact that neither
of Senator Davis partners are at all
enthusiastic over Mr.. Stevens can
dIdacy need not necessarily be taken as
an indication that the genial Il. F. would,
i'll 1898, be in favor of giving Minneapolis
another seat in the senate. Mr.. Stevens
will not withdraw, and will be beaten
at the polls by Hon. G. FL. Benedict,
man who may not be able to employ
every ward heller in the district to
work for him, but is yet head and
shoulders above his opponent as far as
fitness for the Office is concerned.
Another fact in regard to Mr. Stevens
he went before the citizens commit
tee and asked tor that nomination for
senator. He was then sin" with the
Zens' nomination, and straightway
came out for the Republican nomina-
ton. Under the circumstances, it is
not safe to say that Mr. Stevens will not
be pulled Off by the frightened leaders
of the party.
But how about Johns? He vas NOM
mated by the "kid' element of the
party just for the purpose of demon
strating that the present county COM
mittee does not run the party exactly as
it pleaseS. MIR. Johns declined to pull
out of the race at the request of "Cor-
die" Severance and F. B. Kellogg, al
though they spent several hours in try
ing, to induce him to do this Friday
evening. Henry Johns will certainly
decline to pull out of the senatorial
race in the Twenty-sixth district to
please either his enemies on the Re-
publican county committee OF the man
ayers of Senator Davis.
The action of the Republicans in
nominating partisan senatorial ticket
has cost the party great many votes"
remarked a Seventh ward Republican
yesterday. THE Notwithstanding ele-
meht of the Republican party in this
county was DESTROYS of seeing a strong
delegation III the legislature next win
ter, and. as the senatorial nominees of
the citizens committee filled this bill,
were equally divided between the two
parties and were all Endorsed by the
Democratic party,they could see no rea-
son for the Republicans taking the ac-
ton they did. The average Republican
voter knows that this is Democratic
county, and that fair div ision of the
senatorial seats was made by the citi-
ZenS' committee. l am free to confess
that if the Democrats make good NOM
ination against Mr.. Dean l shall both
work and vote Tor him."
The nominees On the Republican
county ticket, too, are alarmed and are
quite anxious for the withdrawal of
Stevens and Johns. They realize that
tight all along the line by the DemOc-
racy can but end diSastrOuslv for them.
They can do nothing, however, and be-
fore this week is past there will be four
Democratic senatorial candidates in the
field in this county.
l.. A. Normandin, the veteran and
eccentric Democrat of the Eighth ward,
sets the bali rolling In that reliable
Democratic bailiwick in a call for
rally on Wednesday evening. The call,

a The laboring men of Minnesota can
no longer be hoodwinked by the cry of
protection. The following commune
cation. written by we'll known and
talented mechanic of the city, is as clear
and comprehensive arraignment of the
iniquities of the Mckinley bill as can
be derived from labor standpoint:
To the Editor of the Globe: The
passage OF the Mckinley bill has caused
an increase of % per cent On general
dry goods. At least, merchants say
that by Oct. there will be that differ
enee in prices, brought about by the
manufacturers. Now, here is an ex-
cellent chance, and one which it is
hoped will not be lost. for the profess
sional politician and fool wage-earner,
who believe that the tariff helps and
regulates wages to prove their conten-
tion. The increase in the prices of
