Further than that, men who can influ-

for Potter.
'"The syndicate has been treated all
right by this administration, and would
like to see things continue as they are"
| remarked one earnest and thoughtful
Republican yesterday, and the love of
true reform and municipal purity
seemed to fairly beam in his eyes.
"We'll have $4,000 to put into the
city campaign for Potter alone," con-
tinued the apostle of retrenchment and
reform, land we're going to make
things hum when we get TO going"
Potter seems to have begun his "busi-
ness administration" already, in antici-

amount of misrepresentation he man.
aged to work into a short speech before

| He had the nerve TO say that the reason
| the Democrats objected to the judges
of election appointed by the council
| Friday night was because some of them
were old soldiers, and the Democrats
| are always opposed to the old soldiers.
| This is bright remark surely, about as
| brilliant as might be expected to ema-
| nate from Potter. The law concerning
the selection of judges says:
On the day preceding any election, the
| judges OF election [shall] procure the regis
| tiers from the office of the city clerk or
recorder, one being procured by judge
| representing one of the two leadingl polit-
| ical parties and the other by judge rep
resenting the other of the two leading polit-
| lcal parties; the ballot boxes shall be deliv-
| cred to the clerk of election, with the KEY
| thereof, and with the poll books and all
blanks and stationery necessary to such cleo
| ton.
One of 1.-THE two leading political
| parties" is the Democratic party. The
| Republican city council, instead of al
| lowing the Democrats to choose their
| representatives, cOolly selected certain
| Republican ward heelers and men who
| are working in the interest of Republi-
| can candidates to act as Democratic
| judges. Because the Democrats object
to being represented. or rather misrep-
sented, by certain Republican "plug-
gers" Potter says they are fighting the
old soldiers. Potter knew he wasn't
telling the truth, but this was the best
defense he could think OF, and it is
| cOrker, isn't it? You should be ashamed
of yourself, Eddie.
| At the Democratic meeting in the
Ninth ward w. H. Donohue handled E.
| M. johnson and j. III. Bradish without
| gloves, and denounced them as the tools
of monOpolies and corporations and re-
| viewed at length their record as repre-
sentatives in the council.
(Which hundreds of people in the city
| were suffering for want of something to
eat" he said. these sharks voted to do
nate franchise to Thomas Lowry for
which the city might have received
S5,000,000, which amount would have
kept the poorer classes in comfortable
| circumstances for decade"
He thought it was the most infamous
| piece of business that had ever been
| perpetrated upon an Intelligent COM
munity, and continued:
| ''These hypOcrites, not satisfied with
what they have already done, now ask
| you to elect them on the legislative
| ticket in order that they may secure
| legislation to protect their dictatOrs."
| justice to the Ninth ward he certainly
could not to the state, and at the same
time draw salary from the city. Con-
tinuing his remarks, he said: "HOw
can E. M. johnson own third
interest in several enterprises and
construct beautiful dwellings on
salary of $500 a year?" The
answer he did not give, though he made
insinuatiOns from which an intelligent
person could draw differences. John
son, he said, had had hand in every
Cnhn hot t,afr f1a
Gil during his terms as an official, and
had also managed to secure contracts
for firms in which he was financially in
tereSted for the construction and fur
nishings of public buildings. Mr.. Dona-
hue also touched upon the judicial
ticket, asserting that it was of
the greatest interest to the citizens
to secure honorable men to
sit upon the bench. He did not
think it consistent with just principle
to elect men for such offices that would
accept pass for transportation while
travelling to sit upon cases in which the
railroad was directly interested. Such
instances, he asserted, have happened,
as he had seen judge give conductor
pass while sitting beside him. A,

Thirteenth ward, made a rafting ad.

tons of the "retrenchment and
REFORM administration. He also made q
number of logical points on the notOri-
Gus Mckinley bill. A. D. Smith
ridiculed Congressman Snider. Snider,
he said, reminded him of all old story
that he had once heard about a man
who inquired if a certain parrot could
talk, and received an answer: "1f he
could not talk better than you I would
| cut his head off," j. r. Corrigan re
lated several very amusing anecdotes
of considerable political significance
BE also touched upon the aldermanit
situation of the Ninth ward. By re
electing Rhode, he declared 1t would
vindicate Bradish. to a certain extent
of all his notorious deeds in the council
as the former, to large degree, is only
tool of the latter. p. P. Swenson wal
the last speaker. He made an appea
to the people to take the nationality
question out of politics. He had hear(
many say they would never vote for {
Swede, but he thought he was just al
loyal an American as any citizen il
Minneapolis, having served faithful,
in the army. and always had abided b!
the oath of allegiance which he mad,

thirty-eight years ago.
