Here's amess OF mixed pickles. Here's
the ticket nominated yesterday by the
divorce party - that small, but emf
nently respectable body Of holier-than-
thous VINO would raise st. Paul 10 a
Utopian plane Of politics 10y dIYOrcing
it from partisanism. This otherwise
estimable body of gentlemen got to-
gether yesterday and promulgated the
ticket. There was no convention, with
its wild CHEERS ana general enthusiasm.
From out the quiet retreat on the fourth
floor OF the Grand block came not one
single shout as the nominations were
made. I'VE have got the pledge of
every man We nominated that he will
make the campaign" said Secretary j.
w. Mcllo5e last night.
Nv hat is your programme nOW?' was
asked. "Will You 20 TO the other con
yentiOns and ask an Endorsements"
mo, sir" was the emphatic response
eve will stand on our merits. rhe
ticket is in the hands OF our attorney,
who Will make the necessary arrange
ments to have it placed on the Austria
han ballot. IL will be our own ticket
Don't you think it a good one?"
The ticket was evidently nominated
on its shape, and it is gratifying TO
learn that every man on it not only
consented to run, but gave a pledge.
One can readily imagine Col. Wright.
Peter Joe Dreis and Mike J. DAILY stand
ing nD in line, pledging their hand and .
glove 10 stand by the grand new party.
1t Is understood that Col. Wright was
not the maiden choice Of the d-
yorce crowd, and that Senator
Mcmillan, Gen. Johnson and Col.
Kiefer all respectfully declined
TO lead the innovation party to its first
Waterloo. Col. Wright was then chosen
for his fine military bearing and his
eagle eye, and the hope that the Repub-
leans might indOrse bin. Not that
that would add much TO his strength"
remarked divOrcer. last night. but
every little counts, you know" The
colonel is at the head OF the Third regi-
ment, but as he belongs to the CONNER |
cial club. the dlyOrcerS had better be- |
ware, as that organization must not be |
drawn into politics. The directory is |
necessary to know something of most |
of the others on the ticket, though they |
rank high in the councils of the Repub-
lican party. Peter Joseph Dreis is
about the only Democrat in the outfit, |
as Mike DAILY renowned the party OF |
purity two years ago. +. A. Pike |
is a sop to the Prohibitionists, |
and the nomination of w. II. |
Lightner is evidently made with de-
signs on the support Of the Nushka |
club. Timothy Reardon belongs to the |
Republican party and the chamber of |
commerce, and Fred q. lngersoll is |
down on the slate for congress or some |
other lofty place. John Copeland, the !
Republican alderman, gets rafting in
dorsement, and Hans Jensen gets his
ambition satisfied with an aldermanic |
nomination. Matt Czech is the Bohemian |
leader of the Fifth, and Frank Doran is |
wood and coal dealer, with plenty of |
time to work for the ticket now that the |
season is over.
Take it "by and large" as sailors say.
1t is a grand ticket-grand, gloomy and !
peculiar. Reform sticks out of every i
corner of it. Ideal government is sug |
gested by every name. Such ticket as |
that ought to poll 100 votes at least, or |
say $50, If the weather is fair.
