orelsewhere where their votes are not
needed for the Republican party. 1t
does not necessarily follow that Mr..
Copeland has anything to do with the
matter; and from the high standing OF
the gentleman people are 10th to believe
such thing. But certain it is that
good many people are seen in that ward
who have no permanent residence there
and have been there only short time.
In the Tenth ward is similar case.
d. M. Sullivan, the Republican candi-
date for the legislature in that district,
is the superintendent of the transfer
company. The increase of registration
in that ward over the spring is about
fifty. The story comes from very
reliable parties that about sixty laborers
who live in parts of Minneapolis where
Republican votes are not needed have
been eelonized there and are registered.
Mr.. Sullivan is a gentlemen OF high
standing, and it is hard to believe that
he has had anything to do with it; but
certain it is that the people are there on
the registration sheets.
These are some of the local methods.
But much more serious method is re
ported to be on foot i'll the state commit
tee. 1t is nothing more nor less than a
roorback, which is to be sent out at the
last moment. The roorback is said to
be prepared, and ready to go out; being
guarded with the utmost vigilance to
prevent copy falling into the hands of
any outsider. This may be false
alarm; but, judging from the expert
enee OF two years ago, it is we'll for the
people of the state to be on their guard,
and take no stock in any Republican
story which reaches them at the last
moment
w. w. Erwin is reported to have as
serted that Donnelly will not receive
$4,000 votes in the state, and that Nelson
will win by $4,000 plurality. But it
must not be forgotten that Mr.. Erwin
is very sore at Donnelly, and the wish
is the father Of the thought.
Donne1Iys Vote.
There is no reason to believe that
Mr.. Donnelly's vote will fall short of
Owens, aud there are many reasons
for believing that it will be much larg-
er. His meetings have been attended
by very large and enthusiastic audiences
in many places, and he must have made
some converts among Republicans. tits
true that good many people go to hear
DoDnelly only to be amused. and go away
with no intention to vote for him. But
in the country districts, there are always
some people who are carried away with
good. plausible speech; and it IS much
more than likely that he has increased
his following very materially in such
places. at Duluth Friday evening he
spoke i'll large opera house, and it was
filled so full that many people were
turned away.
With Gov. Lawler the case is different
from Donnelly's in one respect. He is
man who carries conviction. His
meetings everywhere in the state have
been attended by throngs; his trip
through the state has been one grand
ovation from start to finish. The people
have not been content with mere eX-
pressions of enthusiasm; they have
come out, thousands from Republican
ranks, and stated boldly that they were
weary of Republican rule, and ready to
vote for the party that will give them
the tariff reform the Republican party
has been promising for years and no4
