ObiectIons RaIsed.

under which we act and by the report of the
committee of ten heretofore presented.
Objections Raised.
Mr.. Dixon moved the adoption of the
resolutions, and the proposition raised
a difference of opinion right away.
LeedOm Sharp was the first to object,
He thought it folly for them to nomi-
nate full ticket. They had great OPP
portnnity to elect mayor, but they
would throw that opportunity away il
they decided to nominate full list OF
officers. He wanted them to nominate
a mayor only, and then await the action
of the Democratic and Republican par
ties. This proposition was evidently
dlstasteful to a large number present,
being received with cries of "Oh! Ohw
Nonsense" and "Sit down." But Mr..
Sharp refused to sit down. He pro-
ceeded:
How many present who vote 10 put in full
ticket will eventually vote flor it, | venture
come TO vote will ignore the independent
candidates.
Renewed cries were made for Mr..
Sharp to sit down, and gentleman rose
to point of order. Judge Mcmillan
ruled the speaker in order, and Mr.DOty
took the floor and appealed for fair
hearing for MIR. Sharp. The gentleman
had right to express his sentiments.
whatever they might me. Mr.. Sharp
was allowed to proceed without inter
ruption, reiterating the folly Of nOm-
mating full ticket. There might be
men OH the Republican and Democratic
tickets worthy of Endorsement.
The audience having decided to limit
speakers to five minutes, as long, desul-
tory speeches were undesirable, b. III.
Schneider volunteered his testimony.
He heartily favored the resolutions.
The only way to obtain control of the
government Of the city was by independ-
ent action. There were many Demo
Gratis opposed to the present municipal
government. He was one of that num-

lie was requested to take the platform,
and, upon doing so, was greeted with
laughter and applause. He understood
the proposition was that they wanted n
change. But, In his opinion, the time
for them to act was when the Democrats
and Republicans had nominated their
candidates. If the men were not of the
proper caliber to administer the affairs
OF the municipal government then was
the time 10 kick and call a halt. Mr..
Butcher considered that this was not
merely municipal question; il was
also q state and national question. He
added:
Butchers Break.

NJ. Schneider, with all due respect and kind
feeling, he came from protective state
Republican, and he was converted TO Dem
ocrat in the city OF ST. Paul, and why should
he change to an independent? | was one OF
the No. = Democracy who brought about an
excellent change in the city government,
BY the aid Of such men as Mr.. Flandrau and
Mr.. Lawler we got pure and good Democ-
raey, and God Almighty is with ms.
Mr.. Butcher resumed his seat mid
uproarous laughter. l.. A. Anderson
followed lie cautioned them 10 pro-
ceed slowly. He said:
We are here TO defeat Bob Smith. That Is
what we want. II is next TO impossible to
defeat Democratic ticket In ST. Paul. Tho
Republicans cannot do it unless they have
the Endorsement and support Of gil the indie
pendent factions. You know that know
that Can we as independent factions or
citizens put ticket in the field and elect
(cries OF .'Yes and No'D-unless that ticket is
Endorsed by all who are opposed 10 Bob
Smith? You know that we can't.
Mr.. Anderson said he had nothing
personally against Mayor Smith. but
opposed him because he would not i'm
pose some of the best laws on the stat
ute books"
Daniel w. Doty decidedly favored tine
resolutions. There were 70 per cent or
the people so bitterly partisan that il
their respective parties put up the
devil they would vote for him. He
said:
If the Republican party will only join this
movement by the help of God we will mop
the Garth with the Democratic government OF
this city and clean them out. IL the Repub-
licans had only the political sagacity they
would help on this movement.
