no cessation of hOStilitieS. There must
be no Sinking, either. Two men can
do more than can one man; just the
same, multitude of men can do more
than handful. The Democrats realize
this and are proceeding accord
ingly. The past week has seen
the ward organizations perfected.
precinct committees have been APP
pointed in dearly all of the election dis
tricts and the work is moving along
smoothly. The Democratic canvass
will be made as carefully as was the
census recount. No man will be left
INDICATED. More than that, the COM
mittee will see that every man gets out
on election day and votes for the man
who should be elected. P. B. Winston
is in the city now until the war is over
and he is doing famous work for the
city ticket in conjunction with Bernard
Cioutier, chairman of the city commit
tee. c. Nj. Foote has manipulated
tee so successfully that ALL of
the business of that body is
transacted with the precision and &C
curacy of clockwork. Foote is an ideal
chairman. He keeps every detail of
campaign work firmly in hand, forgets
nothing. and always "hustles." The
same state of affairs which is charac-
teriStic of the city and county tickets is
true of the judicial ticket. Before the
votes are counted, the Republicans will
be sorry that they broke faith, and went
back upon all their promises and pro-
testations. The Democrats have put
as ever went before the people of
the Fourth district. There isn't
weak spot in it. On the
score off legal ability, force,
and acumen, better ticket could not
have been found. All of the men on 1t
are popular with the people. More
over, they possess. without exception,
the one thing which should never be
lacking to men who are to occupy posi-
tons on the bench as conservatOrS of
public morals and opponents of justice
clean public records, spotless reputa-
tons. In the congressional field the
elections, while little doubtful con-
corning the state, county and city
tickets, have been telling all their
friends to "play Snider for a cinch."
Sam P.-not Hon. Samuel since the
campaign began-would willingly
part with several large unfeeliBg
dollars if he could feel like
playing himself for a "cinch." He
knows that he stands on thin ice. Sni-
der's connection with the Mckinley bill
does not suit those of his constituents
who live in Minneapolis. and his per-
sonal magnetism is not sufficient to
counteract the effect of his unpopular
actions in congress. The feeling to-
ward Snider was well illustrated at the
Republican meeting at 253 Second ave-
nue. south, which he addressed Thurs
day evening. Other speakers were
applauded when they took and left the
rostrum. Snider met with chilling re-
ception unless the spasmodic attempts
at applause made by two or three per-
sonal friends might be called enthus-
iasm. That is the way the land lies in
Minneapolis just now. Both city and
county headquarters are crowded every
day with enthusiastic Democrats who
bear evidence to the progress of Demo
cratic principles.
W. NJ. Sepple, of Minneapolis, gen.
tIeman engaged in the farm implement
business, has just returned from an
extended tour of the state. He offers
some interesting testimony relative to
the extent of the Alliance movement,
and which party it will be most likely
to affect.
"Oown in the southern part of the
state" said Mr.. Sepple, 81 found that
most of the Alliance men used to be
Republicans. travelled through nearly
every town in the southern part of
the state, and found but lit
tie detection among Democrats.
But In almost every town / found from
three to dozen strong Alliance men
who were formerly not merely Republi-
cans, but active leaders among the Re-
publicanS. OF course, these were not
the only Alliance men in their respect
i've towns; they merely represented the
feeling among the farmers, which seemed
to show that the Republican farmers
are going to vote for Owen. There was
little detection among Democrats.
| Farther west. down in the southwest
| ern corner of the state, the Republicans
| are still in the ascendant. The Alliance
has but small following down there.
! Going north from there again the AL
lance sympathizers increase. Here
again, the movement seems to pull
| strongest from the Republicans. From
what saw in the country, would say
| that the Alliance vote will be large, and
| will come from the Republicans almost
entirely"
That powerful Scandinavian daily,
| the Svenska Folkets Tidning, continues
| to advance cOgent reasons why p. B.
| Winston should be elected mayor. Last
Wednesday it said:
ssWhy Should We Vote for NH.
| Winston?
This question has been put to US re-
| peatedlY during the past week, espec-
| tally by indignant Yankee Republicans
| who will not admit that Republican
| paper has any moral right whatever to
support a Democratic candidate for
mayor. We have on every occa-
sion given them a satisfactory and
| adequate reply, and our reasons are of
such a nature as to be frankly and
fearlessly indicated and diffused
through print. Our primary and most
commanding reason is that the strife
now going on between the two parties
in regard to the mayorship is in no re-
spect whatever strife between the
Republican and Democratic parties.
"What have the great political Ques-
parties, to do with our local and, there
fore, secondary questions? The issue
in this local strife is whether Mime
| apolis. for the coming two years, is go
ing to have liberal, honest, doughty
and competent city administration OF
whether this city is again going to have al
| administra ton whose principal traits
are those of reactonary, hypocritical,
weak and utterly incapable character
We all know what miserable state oil
affairs the present incumbency has ere
ated in our city for the last two years
and we are also aware Of the fact thai
we can expect no change for the better
from the clique which now holds
the power. If the Republican
candidate should be elected this very
