to elect him? Well. the captain is
worker, and that $500 in his hands ought
to do something.
Nels j. Ness is dong some quiet but
effective work in the Sixth ward, and it
is safe to predict that Candidate Bryant
will not have much of vote to deliver
to Candidate Keller in return for the
vote Keller promised to deliver to Bry-
ant in the Second ward.
Chairman Stevens of the Republican
city committee has been bounded
nearly to death since the GLOBE pub
lished the official list of campaign as

from $4,000 to $4,000. and the ''boys''
ought to insist upon having slice OF it.
Col. Kiefer has been posing as a friend
of labor. There is nothing he would
not do for the labor people, if they will
only vote for him. OF course this new
affection for labor was horn when he
was nominated, as it never existed be-
fore. He has never done or said any
thing for labor until this campaign be-
gun, but now nothing is too good for
the workingman. A humorous Incl
dent occurred the other night when the
colonel was talking to meeting in the
Ninth ward, where the labor feeling
runs high. The colonel said, in sub
stance:
81 am for the workingman. ] believe
in him and his rights, Why, the other
night was noticing the street cleaning
going on. There was one wagon and
two men could have done the work."
II suppose you would have discharged
the other four men," said voice in the
hall. The colonel was nonplusSed, but
became utterly ratified when voice in
the rear added:
Bob Smith gives the six men work
and you would give four of them the
sack"
The colonel changed the subject, but
it was too late.
An amusing conversation occurred
yesterday afternoon. Two voters, a
Democrat and Republican. met on the
court house steps and fell to talking
politics.
Wen beat you easily" said the
Democrat.
mo you won't" said the Republican:
''YOur ticket is not made up of workers,
like ours. Just look how our candidates
are going about making votes, from
Kiefer down."
"Yes," retorted the Democrat. Il
should say they are. There is Kiefer
and Nichols and Miller going about
from ward to ward, begging, imploring
and beseechng every one they meet to
give them vote. Just think of it! A
candidate for mayor going about in
such a style, actually begging like aims.
for votes. Imagine Mayor Smith doing
such thing as that. You don't catch
such men as Mayor Smith, John Roche.
Judge FIandrau, Mr.. Van Slyke and
other Democratic candidates on the gen.
eral ticket, going about town begging
for votes. Why, if 1 were you I'd be
ashamed to vote for men vino had no
more dignity and sense OF decency
about them"
The Republican acknowledged the
corn.
A prominent laboring man, and mem
Der OF the Workingmen's Municipal Re-
form association, said yesterday:
The publication in yesterdays Pho
neer Press of a list of candidates who
signed the Workingmen'S Municipal
Reform associations platform created
some CONSERVATION among some of the
members of the central committee, as
we'll as some of the members of the as
ISOLATION. At a meeting of the commit
tee held Wednesday evening it was de-
cided not to give out for publica
ton the names of the candidates who
signed the platform until after the conf
mittee had made its report to the asso-
citation. which meets Monday evening
| next. But the Minneapolis delegate"
who has been trying to run the organi-
| cation according to it's way of thinking,
| went to the Pioneer Press Office and
dictated the publication of what aD-
| peared to have come from an authentic
source. Now let Inc tell you who signed
| the platform. Col. Andrew Il. Keller
| signed it and sent in very fiattering
| letter-a sort of vote catcher, as 1T
| were. Fred Bot, candidate for alder
man in the Second ward. signed it with
out comment. John Fisher ditto. Her
man Bilenberg, candidate for alderman
| in the Eighth ward. sent in letter ia
toring most of the platform and giving
| his reasons for not signing the rest.
Henry Hinkens did likewise. Lett
| hauSer also signed it. William A. Van
! Slyke sent in letter in explanation,
which contained heap of good sense.
Maj. NeWsOn signed the platform and
| everything connected with it, and asked
in his letter that the club reserve few
copies OF the platform for him for future
reference. Christ Gaefke swallowed it
| all. A. F. Gauger is in favor of most of
the platform, and says so in letter.

The above is all the answers that were
received thus far. The fact of the mat
ter is that the Minneapolis delegate"
| has been granted the courtesy of at

| for another paper, but it is doubtful
whether the delegate will be admitted
to the next meeting. for violating the
rules of the association. 1t will take
