only had tie effect to arouse more per-
slstent action, and the Alliance will be
| power for the first time in municipal
campaign. Hitherto this party has con-
! tented itself with participating in state
! and national politics, but since they
have been derided and fragrant
! insulted because Of the prestige
that was rightfulIy theirs, OF eleetng
| the third judge In every election dis
! trict, under the provisions OF the Aus
| tralian law, and because they aYailed
| themselves OF their legal rights, they
! have concluded 10 enter the canvass In
/ earnest. The Alliance Of the county
| held a meeting last evening in the
| Union block, and it was
| large and representative gathering.
| The issues Of the campaign
were intclllgently discussed, and after
| deiiberatiOu the committee concluded it
inadyisable 10 issue a call for regular
! convention. This was because of the
| fact that organized labor IS part of the
! Alliance While the Republican or
gans have been ridiculing the fact that
! a workiugman is all Alliance adhcrent
they failed TO remember the fact
that the labor organizations and the
! Alliance are politically one and the
same. That is precisely why the party
! is stronger in 81. Paul than in the Pro-
! hibitiGn party. The committee, as stated,
decided against holding convention to
| choose ticket This was for the rea-
| SON that the organized wOrkingmen OF
! the city have already declared for certain
! candidates, aud il was thought unneces-
| sary TO 90 to the trouble to ratify that
! choice. The committee, IN lieu OF holding
a conventions, indOrsed candidates that
have already been placed in the Iield.
! The committee favored the course of
organized labor. and accumulated the
Importance OF having strong repre-
sentatiOn in the city council. The
ticket Endorsed reads:
FOR Mayor--Robert A. Smith.
For Treasuter-WilliHm BanhOlzer.
| For COmptr0Her-S. a. Ponthan
For Assembiymen District East Of Waba-
sha Street,. J. Ryan. Joseph Ehrmantrnut,
W A. Van Slyke.
For Assemblymen. District West Of Waba-
sha otreet-R. ). Nc Nance and James Nor
TOW.
1t will be observed that several pres
ent 'assemblymen are included in this
list, and it is because OF the course OF
these officials i'll treating labor prob
lens that have come up for solution.
While the ticket is not completes meet
under the law 10 fill it out. The other
nominations and Endorsements are:
Assemblyman from the Sixth ward, Harry
Franklyn. For Aldermen ~ Second ward,
f W. Bot; Third ward. =. Conley; Fifth
ward. {. J. Dorniden; Sixth ward, James
Melady; Ninth ward, John +. GehaD.

For some covert reason Harry Frank
Ign, the Republican nominated by the
labor organizations and indorsed by the
Alliance for assemblyman from the
Sixth ward, was not acceptable to the
Republican convention for that partic-
ular position. BY subtle trick he was
shelVed by nomination for alderman.
The Farmers Alliance committee re-
buke this act by indorsing the course of
the Labor party.
The indOmitable S. Lowensten has
peremptorlly divorced himself from the
Republican party, in which he has been
all hon0red and respected mentor for
many years. He declares unequiyocaIly
for the Democratic ticket. and no one
has a right to question his judgment
when the two tickets are placed in jux-
opposition. From now until election
day Mr. LOWenStein will be found per-
forming his political functions with
fearless pertinacity.

Dan Aberles face was wreathed in
eXultant smiles when he had learned
the action Of the Republican conven-
ton. "They could not possibly have
done anything that would have suited
| me MORE he cried, when the news
came to him. That Will make an easy
conquest for the Democratic ticket. All
in all" he pursued, with more serious
look, II don't know but | would have
preferred closer contest. 1t would
make the struggle more interesting, and
there is little genuine pleasure in walk
overs.'
Naturally, in every political campaign
| there are some exceedingly sore
politicians. They are the defeated can
ddates for preferment. After SAN
guine canvass for the nomination, to
get defeated is extremely humiliatlng,
| and some men can not stand it. Charley
Petsch is of this sort, and
with II. Ii. Fuller. as his especial
| agent and lieutenant, he will
run as "Independant' candidate
! for alderman of :the Ninth ward. Mr..
Fuller filed the necessary papers with
the city clerk yesterday and paid the
stipulated fee to the city treasurer, and
there is no longer any bar to his going
on the ticket. But what is his object?
Mr.. Fuller says he will be elected, but
others, in their calm judgment, exclaim
that it is simply a play to help Hans
Jensen. May will tell the final story.
The petition contains the names of a
good many erstwhile Democrats, ana it
conforms to the law in every particular

insist that secret organization has
Deen effected among the saloonkeepers
to defeat the alderman at the polls.
This is passing strange! In all pre-
Yious campaigns Mr.. Conley has been
attacked because he had the support or
the saloons, and now he is attacked
because he has not. Oh! consistency
thou art a jewel. but Aid. Conley
is in no way distressed, and he will pur-
sue his usual course. If a majority of
the citizens of the Third. ward are OPP
posed to the present incumbent he is
willing to retire. but he feels that his
services in the interests of his cOnStitu-
ents have not been unappreciated.
Despite the frightfuI roast admin
istered in the evening Republican
organ, Hans p. Jensen was nominated
for alderman from the Ninth ward.
What will the organ do now? Support
OF dissent? Mr.. Jensen says he cares
very little.

The Sixth ward delegate. quoted in
the evening party organ, is Repub-
lican anomoly. He is reported as deny
ing that the cabal was a factor in the
choice of the convention. yet the stand
ard bearer of the cabal was chosen with
a seeming common consent. Ca0alistic
politics and Repubiicanism are appar-
emily analogous this year,

P. j. Dreis is entitled to the respect of
every honest Democrat. Although urged
by frantic Republican partisans to enter
the canvass as an independent Demo
cratic candidate for city comptroller, he
had no hesitation in pronounclng mis-
true party principles. He was candi-
date before the Democratic con.
vention, and in the spirit of
fairness and honesty, he was
