n Next Tuesday is election day in St.
Paul; it promises to be interesting but
will in no manner effect material
change IN the names of the present Of
ficers of the city administration. r ebert
A. Smith, the present mayor, is too we'll
and favorably known to need any intro
duction. His friends promise to carry him
to victory next Tuesday with handsome
majority.
The case of Mcclellan VS. DR.. Hoyt, for
alternating the affections Of tbs formers
wife, is attracting considerable interest,
though all news pertaining to the same
is furnished by the press as the case is
being tried behind closed doors. Dr.
Hoyt is prominent physician and Mr.
Mcclellan, as the injured husband, is
seeking consolation in the shape of 3d.
900 damages. Mrs. McClellan's chief at
tribute seems to be her good looks and
is given credit for being very handsome.
Cy Wellington represents the plaintiff
and the outcome OF the case is watched
with considerable interest.
Billy Banho]zer, always courteous, at
fable and liberal, is trimming his sails
for the office OF city treasurer. Mr..
Banholzer is one of the masaes-born
and raised in st. Paul, by his own in
dosnitable pluck he has risen to that
point of popularity where he can consci-
entiousiy ask the suffrages of all honest
and Intelligent voters on election day
1t ie safe TO say that Billy Banholzer is
without On enemy-it is also safe to at
firm that 10 person ever appealed to
Billy Banho]zer for any charitable object
and was refused. A practicable business
man and q successful one as his own
large business interests will testify, he is
sminently qualified to I'LL the position Of
city treasurer.
Mr.. Barnes, Of New York, will be pro-
duced at the Grand next week. Among
the many writer's of books aud plays who
have added SC proh6cally to the literature
of the present day, Mr.. Archibald Claver-
INK G,,nter stands anaong the leaders.
"Mr. Barnes Of New York" quickly out
stripped all competitors for public ap-
proyal, and few novels with al American
imprint have been published which COD
taioed tho dramatic qualities of Mr..
Gunter's first novel. Its stage reproduc-
ton was readily aurmlsed and Mr.. Gam
tor in his adaptation Of the story has
given 10 tha theatre goers a comedy quite
as pleasing rs was its prototype to the
readers uf current literature.
The Immense furniture house of Smith,
Farwel S, Go, was visited by fire last
Monday evening. The f|ce started on che
third floor and in spite of the determined
efforts of the tiremen, soon reached the
roof. Il second alarm was then sent IN
anl1 the battle Of the clements was con-
tinuai. Persons wis, are ]aborlng under
tae impression that the St. Paul fire de-
partanent is in any manner deficient
should dispsl that idea. Smith, Farwell
& Co.'S business house is a six story
building in the center Of a business block
and while the building. and stock were
damaged to the tune of sG5 ,0C0, the work
of the department in confning the fire
in the space they did is deserving of the
highest commentator.
The question of gang rule has got to
be a sort Of night mare vito many dis
zruutled Republican or dissatisfied poll
ticians who make their roar without any
specific reasons for so doing. They
charge tho gang with corruption, ETC.,
but tail to qualify the statements except
on Il NEUROLOGICAL standpoint. Their
standard bearer, Col. Fred P. Wright, is
held up to the citizens Of st, Paul as lone
OF the bstter class Of society" and dis
t;nct representative of the aristocracy.
1t is giqen out cold that he is distinct
representative of the Jeyke and Hyde
order as his own actions prove, prating
morality, purity and temperance to the
clergy to secure their votes and influence
and then tackling thu brewers aud set
ting them ~" for the boys, to secnra
their interpretation on election day. This
is particularly true in the instance of last
Saturday evening at the Q s. P. s. hall
and his recent trip with Anthony Yoerg
in the Sikh ward district. Consistency
thou art jewel.
