the entire state. The statement of

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 q 2.0n0
in the county. In the state self;..o Mr..
Meighen's 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 a reputation among the people
of this state for integrity and
sterling qualities of head and
heart. He was first elected secre-
tary of the Alliance to succeed
the late John Lathrop, whose friend he
was. Mr.. Stromberg is man who
never mixes in factional quarrels. but
when he takes a position cannot he
moved until he is convinced that he is
wrong. Like Mr.. Meighen, MI. Strom-
berg is right on the tariff, and was for
merly a Democrat.
James Dillon, of st. Paul. is better
known to the people of this city than he
is in the state at large. Those Demo-
Gratis in the state who feel any qualms
about Mr.. Dillon need only to drop
line to any of their brethren in this city
who have known him for thirty years.
He has been a lifelong Democrat.

This is the balderdash that Aaker,
Mcclure, Converse 81 Co. wanted Hunt
to print as editorial matter! But Hunt
put it in his inside pocket and said notn-
ing. The deal was drawing toward the
close. But there was one more act to
be played out. Hunt wrote sharp let
ter to Mcclure reminding him that,
though Sept. 80 had passed, he had not
received the remaining 500 due him.
AS expected, this made Mcclure mad,
and he wrote Hunt the letter neceS-
sary to complete the chain of evidence.
This time he forgot himself and signed
his full name. Hunt said nothing. but
filed away all of the discriminating docu-

the 500 balance, but he holds the first
800 subject to the order of l.. *. Aaker,

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

The Democratic state central COM
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
of
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 i'll
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 al
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.

''The City Directory" makes no pre-

continuity aimed at; it is almost over
crowded with novel and intensely
amusing business, with uproarous fun
and exceedingly bright and witty lines,
while there is a commendable absence
of horse play or vulgarity, and the
whole is mellowed and knitted together
with delightful and catchy music. At

CARDINAL MANNING DEAD.

The Venerable Prelate Passes Quietly
AWAY This Morning.
LONDON, Jan 14.-Cardinal Manning
died at $3.50 this morning. The end was
peaceful and apparently painless. For
many hours previous to his death he
knew that the case was hopeless, but
bore up with great fortitude, and was
able to join in prayer shortly before his
death. The end came while he was ap-
parently sleeping.
Cardinal Manning's malady was bron-
chitis complicated with congestion of
the lungs. The cardinal was able, yes
terday afternoon, to make formal pro-
fession of his faith, the impressive and
touching ceremony being observed in
the presence of the full robed canons of
the diocese, who were ranged around
the bed. Afterwards the venerable
prelate feebly uttered his blessing:upon
the canons. The cardinal died in a
small bedroom at the top of the arch
bishops house, Westminster, which he
had occupied as his sleeping apartments,
since 1865.
