IN CITY POLITICS.

Friday evenings meeting in Market hail. OF
course, furnished material for a great deal of
talk in Democratic as well as Republican
circles yesterday. The Democrats were feel
ing first-rate over the outcome of the meet
iug, as it pretty effectively demonstrated the
fact that all of the 30 called factions of the
party were ready-nay, willing ana anXions
to come together, and, by making united
and harmonious campaign, forever Gissipate
the hopes Of the gang of ringsters and barn
nacles, who, under the guise OF the Repub
lican party, are seeking to fasten themselves
upon the fair city Of St Paul. The at
tcmpts of the two ancient and back
number bosses, who were present, to create
81 division i'll the Democratic party signaliy
failed. The views of the Democratic Ia
boring men of the city over this matter were
well stated by an elevator man in the New
York Life Insurance building yesterday,
when he said: I'VE all see the object of
these men, and don't believe that they can
influence 300 Democratic votes. l. as well
as many other Democratic laboring men,
think that all good Democrats should turn in
and work for party success rather than seek
TO promote dissension in the party ranks"
There's no miStaking the fact that the Dem
Dcratic voters of St Paul are determined to
have harmony and united action even 'if
they have TO fight for it,, as a speaker said at
the Friday evening gathering, and The poll-
tician who seeks to disrupt and diSorganize
will find himself an unwelcome guest at
Democratic gatherings.
The aldermanc fight i'll the Tenth ward is
becoming very warm. Dr. Carothers and j.
b RosSman, of Hamline proper who for q
week or two past have been securing their
end OF the ward and urging their claims with
all the ardor and energy possible, have virtu-
ally crowded each other off the course. The
doctor has Withdrawn in favor of Mr.. Wal
lace. who has several times made the canvass
as the cold water candidate and who will
now seek to be both Republican and a
Prohiblionist. Mr. RoSSman made no will
and his supporters are in the position OF the
estate of u man who dies interstate. Midway
Heights however, has developed Il can

tier in his way. as Alderman
Pratt, Mr.. Partridge is his name, and he and
the Tenth ward alderman are now making

are all candidates for the Republican nomi.
nation and It's said they all have cold chill
whenever any one mentions the name of W.
M. Todd, of Midway Heights, for the G. o.
P.'s candidate Mr.. Todd is popular with
the Republicans of the ward, and if he de-

prize. On the Democratic side School In

Judge Frederick Nelson. who for the last
three years has so creditably conducted the
yorably recommended by three influential
Swedish Journals for the Democratic nomi
nation for one of the iudz eships of the munich
pal court and it goes without saying that the
Judge enjoys the friendship and respect of a
goodly nmuer of citizens regardless of
nationality, by reason of his personal and
Official conduct, and would certainly get
there on the home stretch, if nominated.
The spring election is developing one curl
Gus phase, from the fact that both the Re
publican and Democratic leaders are insist
ing upon party nominations for the offices Of
municipal judge, based upon directly opposite
reasons, The Democratic leaders desire that
Judge Cory should have a running mate in
order that he may be drawn into the fight
for the benefit of the general ticket. They
realize his strength with the bar and the
people, ana they argue that if he be forced
into the fight his efforts to elect himself will
greatly strengthen the balance of their ticket.
The Republican leaders, Oh the other hand,
assert that owing to Judge Cory's strength
among Republicans many of their followers
will go to the polls TO vote for him who other
wise would not vote nj all. They also count
upon the supposed hostility of portion
Of the police force to Judge Cory. They say
If the police should show any disposition to
tut Judge Cory. his friends would retallate
in such vigorous fashion that hundreds Of
voters would be gained for the head of their
ticket.
