little credence is placed In this report
by the supporters of Fred w. Bolts
candidacy, and their best efforts will be
expended in voting their full available
strength this evening.
There is decid ed feeling among the
young Democrats in the ward favOra-
BILE to Bolts candidacy. He is an able
man, full of energy, and in the prime
of manhood. There is not the least
doubt but that he would make a fitting
alderman for the ward. Mr.. Reed has
arrived at that stage of life when men
usually retire from political life. rather
than attempt to enter it. WHAT the
ward demands in the council is man
who can hustle in its interests. In the
past Dayton'S bluff has been sadly neg
iected by the authorities; other districts
have received many more general i'm
provements than has the East end. Ii
the second ward is to get to the front it
can only be done by having repre-
sentative who can make himself felt in
the council.
p. r. Scannell yesterday announced
his intention to give up his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination in the
Second ward. Scannell is a prominent
young Irishman. of the ward, and there
is no doubt would have made credita-
BILE fight He is certain to be heard
from at future elections, but at this
time, in the interests of harmony, he
has unselishly retired in favor of Fred
w. Bott. II would like all my support
ers," he remarked, ito turn out to-mor-
row (Monday) night and work for Mr..
Bott at the primaries"
The retirement of Mr.. Scannell yes
terday, and that of Mr.. Robb Saturday
evening, leaves the fight for the Demo-
cratic nomination to Fred w. Bot and
l.. E. Reed. The latter gentleman, how
ever, says he does not want to go to the
council; he has simply come out be-
cause his friends say me has to.
Fred W. Bett is seeking the Demo-
cratic nomination Oh his own merits
He is not the nominee of self-conSti-
tuted clique, DESTROYS of running the
ward. If elected he would make ca
pabie representative; he would repre-
sent the ward, and not clique.
The meeting on Saturday evening in
Miller'S hall was rot in any sense a
representative one. In the first place
the hall can only accommodate about
200 people, and in the second place,
many of those present reside i'll others
than the Second ward. 1t was there
fore manifeStly unfair to claim the YER
diet of the meeting as a final indOrSe-
ment of Mr.. Reeds candidature-at
least. so far as the Democratic party is
concerned. There are over 1900 Demo
Gratis in the Second ward. The last
presidential vote was as follows:
Cleveland :. 80. -. .. .......1 235
harrison NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ....I, 10
With over 1900 Democrats in the
ward, how can one consistently claim
Mr.. Reed the nominee of that party be-
cause he has been Endorsed, at the out
side, by $50 Democrats?
The Prohibitionists of st. Paul pro-
pose to take hand in the coming city
election. and John w. Rhines, chair
man of the city committee of that party,
has issued call for convention to be
held at Relief hall. al East Ninth
street, April 5, at 1880 p. M, for the pur-
pose of placing in nomination full city
ticket. No party lines are laid down
and there will be no previous scramble
at the primaries.
DR.. Sandberg, who has been Endorsed
for the Republican nomination for al
derman in the Third ward by the Scan
dinavian Independent CLUB, seems to
have walkover, as G. A. Johnson has
decided not to be candidate, and is
for Dr.. Sandberg.
