POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

Al last the Republican papers OF M1nneap-
oils have acknowledged that there is har-
mony in the ranks Of Hennepin Democracy.
Yesterday evening both evening papers de-
voted a good deal of their space to telling OF
conference between several well-known
Democrats which was said to have been in
the nature of bridging of the gulf by the
Winston and Foote FACTIONS" In one paper
over column, and in the other nearly as much
was devoted TO telling about this confer
ence" The men VINO wrote the stuff scrlb-
bled over page after page OF clean white
paper i'll telling about how the ubiquitous
reporter trailed the scheming leaders of
Democracy and guarded the doors of the
secret conclaVe chamber lest any one escape.
They saw these Democratic leaders go down
to the city hail and they saw them walk up
Nicollet avenue 10 Fourth street and Nlcollet.
Then they saw them separate ana some OF
them walk down Hennepin avenue. All OF
which is important if true. Prominent Dem
OcTats should be more wary about walking
abroad in the daytime unless they carry with
them a piece of paper certifying that they
have the permission o5 the reporters OF even
ing papers to SO walk on Nicollet and Henne-
pin avenues Well,all this space was wasted, as
indicated. Then followed little matter.
some of it quoted, all of it showing that there
never had been a fight in the ranks OF the
local Democracy But the Republican papers
themselves down easy while acknowledging
that there was no fight.
Those persons who have Democratic lean
ings, but who are closely connected with the
churches and who place great store by the
expressions of opinion on the part OF The
ministers of the city should carefully watch
that they be not misled by politicians on
little matter that came up at the meet
ing of the ministerial union last Monday
morning. The ministers committee report
ed how the council committee on ordinances
had treated the proposed ordinance for clos
Ing thealers on Sunday. The committee
went further and commented upon that
action of the council committee, saying that
nothing else could have been expected from
a body that would adopt such measure as
the amendment to the liquor ordinance. Let
fl be borne in mind that the ridicule heaped
upon that proposed theater ordinance came
from the Republicans. The report
and a clever piece of ridicule it was-wa
written by Aid. Bradish, one of the men who
so stoutly defended the home and hreslde
when the other wicked aldermen proposed
to amend the liquor ordinance. Aid. Barrows
another opponent of the liquor ordinance
amendment, is a member of the committee
on ordinances, which has but one Demo
ridicule was adopted by Republican major
ity The ministers want to remember that
not all of the iniquitv originating i'll the
council chamber is traceable to the presence
of Democratic minority III that body.
The Fourth ward Republicans woke up
long enough last night to organize ward
club Aid. Lloyd was prominent figure at
the meeting. and had as much TO say as any
one. The meeting was held in the rooms OF
the Union league. Devotion to the principles
of the party was shown by the election of
q federal officeholder to the presi:
dency. S. L. Trussell, collector of
internal revenue, was the lucky man.
W. A. Kerr was made secretary, and A. FL
Num- and c. S. Cairns, of law enforcement
league fame, vice presidents. The presi-
dent will call another meeting of the club
next Tuesday night. when an attempt will
be made to map out plan OF campaign.
The Cleveland club will meet again to-
night Purely business matters connected
than probable that some one of the prom
inent local Democrats will be pre- sent and
address the club.
