VOTING FOR POSTMASTER.
Fitzgerald Still Leads-New Rich
mondS in the Field.

monds iii the Field.
Senator c. K. Davis, with little as
sistance from President Harrison, will
in all probability soon name the man
who will succeed Postmaster Lee. This
man will, of course, be a Republican,
and he ought also to be a man well
qualified for the place, in harmony with
his party, and capable of giving salts
faction to all the patrons of the office.
Senator Davis may have man picked
out for the place, but as he is reckoned
careful man and good Judge of men
he will probably be only too glad to
know whom the people of st. Paul want
to succeed Mr.. Lee.
For the purpose Of securing this in
formation for st. Paul's United States
senior, the GLOBE popular contest was
inaugurated.
And it is succeeding remarkably we'll:
the ballots are coming in thick and fast
for various well known Republicans.
Fitzgerald, MabOn, KIefer and Castle are
somewhat in the lead at present, but
several new men have been entered, and
are forging to the front. One of these
is Conrad W. Miller, the late Republi-
can candidate for city treasurer. A
Il.
Miller, upon one of which was the fol-
lowing:
HE would make good postmaster"
Last week an admirer of Col. A. r.
Kiefer in voting for him did so for the
reason that the gallant colonel had lead
forlorn hope at the last city election.
This Renaissance evidently started an
other good brother to thinking about
forlorn hopes, and he sent in vote for
w. j. Freaney, together with the follow
ing letter:
To the Editor Of the Globe.
see by the paper from which the en-
closed blank was taken some one has voted
for Col. Kiefer because he led a forlorn hope
in the spring election. W. j. Freaney also
LED forlorn hope and had much harder
fight on his hands than did Col Kiefer and
think he is just as deserving as any Re-
publican in Ramsey county.

st. Paul, Sept 20, 1891.
Il vote for the most popular Reprbli-
can leader in st. Paul M. W. FitZger-
aid, was the way an admirer of the
present chairman of the county COM
mttee put it in sending in a batch of
ballots. Mr.. Fitzgerald still leads in the
contest, although lie is closely pursued
by &. l.. Mabon, who seems to have
plenty of friends. One of these penned
the following complimentary remark on
ballot and sent it in:
"E. l.. Mabon. the best man in more
ways than one"
"A. X. kiefer-A Always Republican;
no turneoat like Ii. A. Castle" appeared
on ballot of one of the coloners adj
mirers.
J. w. b.. civil service reformer
labeled his ballot-"WilliGsn Lee should
be included in civil service list, like
carriers"
A multitude of Freaney votes yester-
day was followed by the entry of another
candidate tor the place, Gen. j. R.King.
After voting for Gen. King several times
his friend penned a letter filled from
Top to bottom with eulogles upon the
general. The letter follows:
