The Dance Is On.

The Telegram of Tuesday comes out
for Mr.. Scott with a vim that counts.
1t talks right ont in meeting after this
fashion:
The kilograms position yesterday
upon the question of third candidate
for mayorality honors expressed some
doubt as to the move. but decided dep
recation of such tactics on the part of
Republican.
The face of affairs this morning
wears "A different aspect. Rumor be-
comes fact, the papers of MIR. f. J.
Matchette are filed with the city clerk,
is on. The disaffected leader and his
followers assume the character Of Sc
cessionists and boilers and must abide
the consequences.
For this service the thanks of the
opposition and the personal gratitude
of Mr.. Noonan are eninently in order,
and Will probably be transmitted to
Mr.. Matchette embossed on sheep
skin. In the meantime, the Evening
Telegram cnjoins Oh all Republicans
gallant ana answering support Of the
regular nominations.
Thus can the eXigencies forced upon
us by this triangular duel be worthily
responded to. Fair weather never
made good sailors, Now clear the
decks for action ana prepare to punish
treason in its chosen home. And vote
for Scott.

Last Saturday David Dobie declined
the Democpatic nomination for mayor.
In doing SO he said TO the convention
which had thus honored him:
IF those wretches will buy my del
egates after they are squarely elected,
they Will knife me in the election as
they did before. | have been urged to
stand by my friends any my party and
ii has cost me many thousand dollars
to do so before My friends are loyal
and in the majority throughout the
city, but the gang will sell me out,
knife me and trade me of for anybody
They viii even put candidate up
against me again. They are not Dem
ocTats-thev are seoundrels. / will not
allow myself to be made mark again
If they can nominate and elect their
man and the people Will allow them to
10 so, we'll and good | am done with
politics in SUPERIOR
David Dobie knew whereof he spoke
1t is the very men whom he designated
as 'wretches, 1.-The gang" "scound-
rels,' who nominated and are now try
ing to elect Mr.. Noonan. How do you

Prank J. Watchette.

Frank J. Matchette, landlord OF the
Hotel Tower, is just now posing as 4
hungry ward politician, and trying to
hide his real animus under the mere
assumption that he was unjustly dealt
with in the city convention. He has
said that ne has been Informed and be
lieves that two delegates who were ell
ected to vote for him We're bought up
for Mr. Scott. Now to be plain about
it, Mr. Matchette does not believe any
such thing, simply because he knows 1t
is not true There was but one dele
gate who did not vote just as he was
elected TO vote, and that was Mr.. Stow
who left Mr.. Scott and Welt over TO
Mr. Matchette. There was no crooked
or star chamber work about the con-
vention, all Of which was frankly and
freely acknowledged by Mr. Matchette
when, after the nomination was made
accepted Mr.. Scott's hospitality and
rendered his hearty congratulations
and earnest support.
But an hour or two later We find Mr..
Matchette in a private room of his no
tel listening to and eagerly drinking
in with his schooner Of beer, this cock
and bull story of bribery, got up by d
few disappointed ward heelers, who
had first failed to nominate Mr.. Law
renee, and as last resort, Ir. Match
cite himself, ana on this tl.mSy pre-
text Of corruption, he consents to stul-
tlfy himself and become an indepen-
dent candidate for mayor
Mr.. Matchette has no legitimate rea
son for taking such course lie is now
Republican Alderman from his ward
and he should respect the party which
has 50 honored him. Then again his
own ward was equally divided between
himself and Mr.. Scott for mayor
Then again he did not go into the con.
vention very strong. On the morning
eff convention day the delegates stood
thus: Is for Scott. 9 for Matchette, !
for Lawrence. When Lawrence with.
drew and the ballot was called for the
three LawFsnce men and one Scott
man went to NJ Aatchatte. giving
him very nice vote and four more
than he had any right to expect.
Now there is but one conclusion tC
come TO in this matter, and that is that
Mr.. Matchette has deliberately decid-
ed to wreck the party he could not
control last Saturday. even though il
had honored him on other occasions
\ man with only nine delegates in d
convention of thirty. can not hope tC
he elected as an independent cand.
date, but he may hope to defeat his
party and elect the opposition. Re
pubHcans of Superior, how do you like

and make his administration worthy
of the commentator OF all parties.

c. e IJoyt, the republican noElnee
for the comptrollersiip, is a man who
has had an experience most eventful.
lie was born among the granite hills
of New Hampshire, and when youth
enjoyed the advantages OF universe
ty education. While still student
he answered the first cali for yolun-
teers and was one of the 800, 0G0 who
enlisted in response to that call; sery
ing for the first eighteen months as a
non commissioned officer. at the end of
which time he was promoted to be
lieutenant and adjutant of the First
Regiment, Louisiana Engineers.
While serving in the latter capacity
he participated in the siege of Port
Hudson, the last stronghold of the
Confederacy on the Mississippi to sur
render For mcritoriouS service he
was given captaincy in the Goth L.
5. Infantry, which he held during
three years of active service After
quitting the army he was offered an
loSII ~ tii' SoNSiAiihtiit
involving the supervision OF large
amounts Of money. This position he
was compelled TO give up i'll 1859 on
account of i'll health. He came north
to Bridgeport, Conn, and for years
was chief bookkeeper and paymaster
for one of the largest manufacturing
concerns in the east For six years he
held similar position in Chicago,
which place he was finally obliged to
leave on recount of failing health. Fer
some years previous to his location in
this city, he was special accountant in
the United States Indian service lie
had charge of tie Office work Of the
ST. Paul Il Pacific Coal company dur
ing his first year here and left that
concern to enter the real estate bust
ness. The Captains experience as an
accountant and his reputation both
before and since his coming here com
bine to make of him an ideal man for
the position of comntroller.

VOTE 1T STRAIGHT.

Without in the least rejecting upon
any of the past officials of the city of
whatever party. We feel constrained to
say that there has never been a better
ticket presented TO the people of Su-
perior than the one now presented by
the Republican party as may be found
at the head of our columns to-day.
For the first time in our history as a
village or city, the ticket was put III
nomination without single charge of
packed caucus" ''hribed delegates,
or any crooked work of any kind being
done III any ward or in the convention
itself
1t is true that since the convention
SIR. Matchette has seen fit to make a
charge of corruption, but he never
dreamed Of doing such thing until
some hours after the convention had
adjourned, and only then at the bid
ding of few disappointed Republican
ward heelers, urged on by the Demo
@rats who saw in his independent can
didacy their only hope of electing their
own candidate.
Every man on the Republican city
ticket has a record for public and priv
ate integrity, honesty and upright liv-
ing, which is actually above rerroach.
Such men make good officials.
The three leaders of the ticket, the
great essential part of it, are all pub
lie men and their past lives is an open
book, yet their opponents can find
nothing therein to detract from their
high standing.
Mr.. Scott, who heads the ticket has
not been with us long, about two years,
but we have men IN the city who have
been acquainted with his public and
private life for the past nine years,
and others who have known him for
shorter time, and all with one accord
declare him to be an able and houora-
BILE gentleman. This testimony, in
the absence of proof to the contrary,
must be accepted as true, whether you
vote for him OF not.
Sdttdib Y. u my odi 1stiiuiudtt
for comptroller, was gallant soldier
and went to the front when his coun
try called for defenders, were by hard
fighting and daring deeds he won a
captain shoulder straps. Since then
he has held several important positions
Of trust and responsibility, and has left
no stain upon his record.
Mr.. II. O. Walseth, the nominee for
treasurer, has lived here the past FIVE
years, and is no doubt better known
10 the reader than most any man on
the ticket AS citizen and business
man no charges have been brought
against him, which is conclusive evi-
dence that there are none to bring
The candidates for constables, {. T..
Flannery and j. ID. Kennedy, are both
worthy and competent for the position
and we are told that both are cripples,
each having lost an arm. If there is
ANYTHING III the Office, surely such men
are entitled to it.
1t is good ticket clear through and
every Republican should vote it with
out scratch from party standpoint,
and men OF all parties who are in favor
of good government should vote it
from that public good" standpoint,
for it is safe TO say that it is the only
ticket in the field that VIII give Us
good government.
See to it then, friends of good gov
eminent, that this ticket is elected
next Tuesday.
