St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-10-11


mittee met at the headquarters in this
city yesterday and filled four vacancies
on the electoral ticket. The four gentle
men who resigned are: Major A. l..
Sackett, of st. Peter; D. R. P. Hibbs. of
Albert Lea; John G. Oswald. of Min
neapolis, and James t. Barron, of Still
water. The first three resigned ON ac-
count of the fact that under strict
construction of the law they would be
ineligible, being officers of national
banks. Mr.. Barron asked to be relieved
on account of pressing business matters.
These vacancies were taken up and
considered and filed by the selection of
the following gentlemen:
A. L. Stromberg, of Forest Lake.
James Dillon, of st. Paul.
William Meighen. of Preston.
Rev. A. ii. Holloway. of Sabin.
All of these gentlemen are upon the
electoral ticket of the Peoples party,
but their selection by the Democratic
state central committee was made with
out any conference whatever with the
state central committee of the Peoples
party. There was no bargain or ar
rangement with the Peoples party
by Which the latter were to indorse any
Democrat. These gentlemen are all
men of the highest character and integ-
rity, as are all the other candidates fer
electors on the Peoples party ticket, as
far as the GLOBE knows. 1t is we'll
known fact that neither of these four
gentlemen, nor any of the other candi-
dates OH the Peoples party ticket, will
in any event cast their votes for Harri-
son or Reid, and it is, therefore, per-
fectly safe to assume that Mr..
Harrison Has Lost Four Votes
IN Minnesota beyond all peradventure,
as there is no question whatever that
the combined vote OF the Democratic
and Peoples parties will exceed the
straight Republican vote by many
thousands. AS has been stated before,
all four of these gentlemen are men of
sterling integrity and honor, aud all
Democrats can afford to give them their
united support, the same support they
will give to the remaining five members
of the electoral ticket nominated in
Minneapolis.
There is no reason why the people of
this state who believe alike on the great
issues of this campaign should not vote
together upon these issues. Upon the
tariff question, the wheat question. and
all other questions that most nearly af-
feet the people of the state the people
should be able to join hands.
Such offices are those of president,
governor, members of congress and
members of the state legislature. Be-
lieving thoroughly in this, the Demo-
cratic state central committee, having
four vacancies to fill Oh the party cleo
tOral ticket. cordially nominated
Messrs. Meighen. Stromberg, Dillon
and Holloway. All are most excellent
men.
They Are Good Men.
Hon. William Meighen was formerly
a Democrat, and was once sent to the
state senate by the people of Fillmore
county, although the Republicans at
that time mad an :jority of a. o.OnO
in the county. In the state s9lfa.e Mr.. I
voice and vote were always
on the side of the people, and the record
he made was alike creditable and hon
orable. He is a strong advocate of
tariff reduction and opposed to the rule
of corporations and rings.
A. L. Stromberg is the present secre-
tary of the Farmers Alliance of this !
state. he resides at Forest Lake in |
Washington county. and Is man who |
has won reputation among the people |
IF this state for integrity and !
sterling qualities of head and !
leart. He was first elected secre- !
ary of the Alliance to succeed |
he late John Lathrop, whose friend he |
vas. Mr.. Stromberg is a man who |
7eVer mixes in factional quarrels. but
when he takes position cannot he !
moved until he is convinced that he is
wrong. Like Mr.. Meighen, Mr.. Strom-
,erg is right on the tariff, and was for
nerly Democrat.
James Dillon, of st. Paul. is bette
,nown to the people of this city than he
S in the state at large. Those Demo-
rats in the state who feel any qualms
bout Mr.. Dillon need only to drop a
inc to any of their brethren in this city
Who have known him for thirty years.
lie has been a a@life-long Democrat.
Rev. A. Ii. Holloway, of Clay county,
5 congregational minister as we'll as
farmer, owning and operating large
arm near Sabin. He has long been
pronounced tariff reformer. and, though
RepUblican.voted for Grover
cleveland in 1884 and again in 1888. He
S, like the others. man of high char
