ST. Paul Graduates Well Forward
in the Examinations.
The examinations or applicants for
appointment in the public schools Of
the city continued yesterday, and the
end will be at hand today. The
experts who examine the paper S
are engaged in marking, and it IS
anticipated that they will have COM
.pleted the work by tomorrow at the
ifarthest. and it will then be known just
who are eligible to fill positions as
teachers. While it is impossible to
know just who has passed. OWING to the
system under which the eXamina-
itionS are conducted. the ex-
aminations of year ago demonstrated
the fact that the graduates OF the st.
Paul schools arc exceptionally we'll quail
iified for the appointments they seek.
The examinations are conducted on a
plan somewhat on the Australian Sys-
tenn of voting. The examiner can no
more tell whose papers he is examining
than the judge of election can tell whose
ballot he is counting when the ballot
box has been opened. and the final work
of counting has been begun. The num-
Der system absolutely bars the possi-
biIity of favOrltism or partiality. III
stead of names written upon examina-
ton papers, only numbers are written.
and the examiner must simply pass
upon merit.

GERMANS FOR CLEVELAND.
They Will Support Him Without
Regard to Party.

''The Germans of the country are a
unit for Cleveland" remarked a promi-
nent commercial man yesterday. This
gentleman was opposed to the nomina-
iiOn OF Cleveland, but now that the
party has expressed itself, he is a
cordial supporter of the man for desti-
ny. II am a Democrat" he said, land
therefore am heartily for the nominee.
Since the convention at Chicago | have
been impressed with the fact that l
have heard so many German Republic
ans say they intend to vote for Cleye-
land. There are four Germans EN-
ployed in this establishment and all OF
them are Republicans, but all OF them
will vote fol- him. They tell me that
their people, without regard to party, will
support the eX-president."
"How do you explain it?"
"That is just what was about to ask
you. Stay-I will ask one of our men.
MIR. RouSch! Step here moment, Will
you?"
Mr.. Rousch is an intelligent young
man, and when the question was put to
him he thought a minute and then re-
piled:
Il think the German people are for
Cleveland because they regard him as ii
straightforward and entirely honorable
man. don't know of any other reason.
but do know that they ale for Grover
to very large degree"
An evidence of the popularity of
Cleveland with the st. Paul Germans
may be seen in the vote of the Eighth
and Fifth wards in 1883, when those two
wards gave him almost all OF the major
ity he received in the county.
