tlOnal institutions. lie pdSSeu through
the graded school and the high school,
and then he completed classical course
In Manchester college. Shortly after he
completed his education IN an Eastern
college. Returning to his home he took
up the study OF law, and his successful
practice here has stamped him an advo-
cate of pre-eminent abilities. There
are few capable of Judging who will not
accord that he has judicial mind, and
no man will question his loyalty to the
city of his birth.
Charley Haas is one of the.moSt pop
ular officials that ever was given pollt-
zeal preferment by the electors of Ram
Sey:Gounty. AS register OF deeds he has
proven his fitness for the duties OF the
position, and he has made host of per-
sonal friends through his innate cour-
tesy and even temperament. lie is
conducting a gentlemanly canvass,
despite the diSgraceful attitude OF the
opposition. Even the Republican organ
renounceS his opponent, Bell, the man
with multiplied nominations and mis-
cellaneOuS Endorsements. The history
of the manner in which Bell was placed
on the Republican ticket and Howard
taken off is we'll known to the voters OF
emphatically known on Tuesday.
Pierce Butler, the Democratic candl-
date for prosecuting attorney for this
county, is a familiar figure in legal
circles, and the contrast between
his attachments and those Of his
opponent are so conspicuous that
it is only necessary to say that
comparisons are actually odious as well
as unnecessary sometimes. MI Butler
is one of the rising young attorneys OF
the Northwest. He has made an elti-
cient assistant county attorney. and the
present incumbent, recognizing his
abilities, retired from The canvass TO
give way to the young mans opportunl-
ties. He is the choice of the people very
naturally.
James H. Burns did not secure his
nominations without successfully meet
ing all sorts of obstacles. He made
telling fight and Squarely met his enc
mics, and they pretty generally the en-
ployerS of the city. lie secured ma
jority of the county convention and the
nomination for auditor by honorable
means, for he is a poor man, and no
one would make himself so ridiculous
as to charge him with buying votes.
Eben G. Ives is especially the labor
ing mans friend. For many years he
has devoted his time to the advance
ment of the condition of his fellow
laborers. He is young man OF marked
abilities, and the mere mention of his
name in st. Paul public meeting is
sufficient to raise whirlwind of enthuS-
iaSm. lie will be elected abstract clerk.
Andrew N. Nelson is Que of the sturdy
sons Of the land of the midnight sun.
He early recognized the integrity of the
Democratic party in this country, and
the Democratic party in turn recognized
in him citizen of sterling worth. He
has been tried and found faithful to his
trnst and is once more the regular can
dIdate for the county treaSurerShip.
One of the important county positions
is that of cor oner. 1t is often remarked
that the average coroner, the country
over, pays too little attention to the
sudden death Of the poor man. The
press has commented on this tendency
of coroners everywhere. But in Dr.. E.
H.Whitcomb the people of Ramsey have
man who would never neglect his
duty. He would make just as
the death of beggar as he
would into the death of a millionaire.
That is a recommendation that should
have peculiar weight with the laboring
man. He is, moreover. practicing
physician of recognized standing among
the NEEDLES of the state and Northwest,
and as thoroughly good fellow as one
would care to meet
Judge John B. Olivier is really too
we'll known to require word OH the
part OF his advocates to further his can
vaSS for reelection to the position of
Judge of probate. During his occupancy
of the Office the past two years there
has been no complaint that he has not
conserved the best interests OF the
widow and the orphan that have come to
the court to have their inheritanceS
probated. Mr.. Olivier is pioneer
settler of St. Paul and Jealous patriot
of the city.
There is no one on the entire Demo-
cratic ticket who has been more unjust
~ assaiIed by the opposition than Anton
Mesen, the regular candidate for
sheriff. The Republicans, in their
frantic endeavor to retain the fat Office
in that party, have seen fit to further the
candidacy of any alleged Democrat who
had sufficiently little esteem and re-
Spect for party principles to run indie
pendent. Look at the list of names on
the certificates that have been deposited
in the Office of the county auditor. They
are public property, and everybody has
a perfect right to inspect them at his
pleasure. There will be seen
the names of the people who are
opposed to the success of the party,
and number who have: been in
duce to sign the papers under mis-
apprehension. AS rule they are signed
by old-time Republicans who will not
vote for the independent candidate but
who will vote the straight Republican
ticket. Anton Miesen.s be elected
by a rousing majority, as there is 70
chance for a doubt that he will make
model sheriff.
David L. Curtice has made all the
important surveys in this county, land is,
therefore, the best posted man in the
county upon survey and me ander lines.
His testimony is almost always accepted
as proof positive in court at law. IN
cases of litigation where lines are In
dispute, for it is an accepted proverb
that Mr. Curtice is the best posted man
every man that pays taxes to re-elect
him county surveyor.
The Democratic convention made
wise selection of candidates for county
commissioners this time. 1t is neces-
sary to call the attention of the voters
of the county who are any wise familiar
with the gentlemen to the personnel.
There are Paul A. Lavallee, who has
already made his mark in the office;
Charles Lauer, Nicholas Ponthan, both
prominent property holders who have
the interests of the county at heart, and
Peter DAILY, sound thinking and con-
sentative farmer. Who can give ten
able reason why these should not be
elected county commissioners?
Benn Davis is the Democratic candi-
date for court commissioner, and he is
perhaps better fitted for the peculiar
duties of this position than almost any
