The Republican papers are still howl
Ing about the employment OF an I'M
limited number of men on the street
force. The Dispatch yesterday pub
lished a series of cuts of men engaged
on the treets. These cuts show three
gangs made up of from five to six men.
Not the slightest title of evidence is
furnished TO show that the employment
OF the men is at all necessary. If
the streets are left unattended
there Is at once n howl from citizens.
and when the authorities attempt to
keep the thorOughfares in good cOndi-
ton. because it happens to be during an
election campain. there is Immediately
a cry raised against them by the Re
publican papers, who claim that these
men are being %cOlOniZed. The cry is as
0Olish as it is false. 1t IS only made by
these papers to divert the electors from
the real issues of the campaign.
There are about 200 churches in this
city, and OH q Sunday not One-third of
them can be said to be filled to their
capacity. Need there be any wonder
about this when we find ministers pros
tituting their high calling as servants of
the Master TO become the puppets of
scheming political cOmpaign managers?

The Republicans have a great deal to
say about the police force. The heads
of this department of the city govern
ment are charged with being the friends
of criminals and the SharerS of their i'll
gotten gains. If this be so. how is it that
st. Paul has such an enviable name
throughout the country for the excel
lence of its police department? How
is it that rarely a criminal is allowed to
escape. and that crimes of violence are
of so rare occurrence? If the st. Paul
police were so Dad as they are painted.
is it likely-nay, is it reaSonable-that
they would so thoroughly free the city
from its criminal element?
i
The Citizens committee and the Re-
publican committee are pursuing the
policy of literally covering the Demo-
cratic nominees with mud in the vain
hope that some of it will stick. If APP
peals to prejudice and passion will win
the election the Republlcan-CitiZen-
Prohibition combination propose 10 get

solely of vituperatiOn and abuse. Whole
sale charges have been made against
the Democrats. and, although specific
statements have been called for, up to
the present they have not been fur
niShed.
M.J.Grath is authority for a highly in
tereSting story respecting K. o.. ZiIn-
norman, the syndicate candidate in the
Second ward, and his immediate sup
| pOrters. The Second ward. if anything.
is a wOrkingman's ward. 1t is only by
the votes of w%orkingmen that any can
didate can be elected. The silk stock
ing element is away in the minority. 1t
will, therefore. be interesting for the
working people of this ward to KIN ow
how the syndicate candidate stands in
regard to them. Mr.. Grath furnish ed
this information, and is willing
to make an affidavit that he heard Mr..
Zimmerman make use of the following
language: No man who is not a tax
payer nor a property holder should have
the privilege to vote at municipal cleo
tiOnS.' This sentiment was Immediately
Endorsed by MFR. Van DYne, a Republi-
can-PrOhibitiOnist and chief henchman
for Mr.. Zimmerman. Mr.. Van Dyne
| also said that the city was robbed by the
wOrkingmen. They decided who should
manage municipal affairs, and yet had
/ no interest whatsoever therein. MIR.
I Van Dyne was asked at the time, in case
| of wal with a foreign country, if the
property and taxpayers would
turn out and defend the country? MIR.
Van Dyne replied in his usual emphatic
style: No, 10y - we could buy sub
| stitutes for $25, like we did Defore.' To
to this, Mr.. Zimmerman ~aSSented, and
added that this was q fact which he
could prove. Mr.. Zimmerman is said
to be In complete harmony with the
statement made by James Middleton, OF
bthe Twilight Twitter, two years ago. He
then distinguished himself with the fol-
lowing: Don't send a poor man to the
council. If you do you will make him
dishonest MI. Zimmerman and Mr..
Middleton should not forget that they
were poor men themselves at one time.
and they should recognize the fact that
poor men of the Second ward are quick
to resent these SlurS at the polls. They
did it in no unmistakeable manner two
years ago; they will be traitors to them
selves and families if they fail to 10 so
OH Tuesday.

One of the most absurd efforts of the
campaign is the statement of an even
ing paper that John Sandell. the Repub-
lican candidate for assemblyman,
is a friend of organized labor.
A member of the tailors' union
said last night that Sandell had
given them more trouble than
had spent over 81, 900 trying to get union
labor and union prices in his shop. That
shop is o run by 'scabs," though he
is trying to make up with the union
only because he is a candidate and be-
lieveS it will be III advantage to him.
The union will consider his case tOmOr-
row night.
l.. j. Dobner is making a gallant fight
in the Tenth ward. The ward is natnr-
ally Republican, but ne carried it hand
sOlnely last time, and has done such
good service in the council since, til at
will undoubtedly increase his majority.
He should certainly he elected over a
man who has only been a citizen OF the
city for a few months.
i
Organized labor OF st. Paul spells
wrong with a W, but not right. They
will give an eloquent eXempliticatiOn or
this fact next Tuesday.

AID. Conley is going to have a walk
away in the Third. He has proven him
self an able representative, and is a
man of excellent business capacity.
This is more than can be said of his Op-
ponent, aud the citizens are not going
to throw him over for an untried lndi-
vidual. The only question is as to the
number of votes he will bury his OPP
pOnent under.
