most heartily upon the issue
Of the suit. 1t is a most
substantial and welcome addi-
tion to the public wealth. We pre-
sumo Messrs. Edwards and Collins
and Corbin are not above feeling con-
siderably jubilant over the victory.
They have very good reason to be
proud and happy over the work they
have done. They have the double
satisfaction of having done a great
service to the municipality and its
people, and of having proven the
soundness of their legal judgment and
the shrewdness of their methods. We
believe they will find no words but
those of commendation in Jersey City
today. They fought a good fight and
have won a noble victory.

about now for Mr.. Nelson to prepare to
shift for himself.
1t is pretty hard to see upon what Denny
Sullivan bases mis- hopes for election to the
legislature from the Tenth and Eleventh
wards and the country. Two years ago F.
c. Stevens was opposed only by a Prohibi-
ton candidate-F. c. Allard. And even ne
polied 6I0 votes. Merriam received in that
district ,159 votes, and Wilson 1.124. a Re-
publican majority of 35. Now Mr.. Sullivan
is opposed by Michael Doran. on the Demo-
cratic side, and by Prohibition candidate.
The latter candidate will carve his votes out
OF the Republican party, ana then what will
become or Mr.. Sullivan?
The Fifth Ward Democratic club will hold
a meeting Wednesday evening, at which uni
forms will be distributed and preparations
made to start Democratic boom. The big

The captains of all the Democratic march

the office of w. r. Hawthorne, Al German
American Bank building, Monday. the 18th,
at o clock p. M, to arrange for the clubs to

Does Henry Johns really believe he is go
ing to the legislature? Two years ago c. n.
Bell had no opposition in the Fourth ward
Wilson received 1.S67 votes and Merriam
1,4lS, a Democratic majority of 449. Dr.
Cornelius Williams will be the next repre-.
sentative for the Fourth ward
p. II. Kelly has wslkover in the Second
ward. and is as sure to go to the legislature
as Michael Doran is from the country dis

Bill Ames, and thus fooled themselves out of

slightest show of election.

Dated at st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 10, 1892.
We were led to advise and take this
course notwithstanding the obnoxious
difficulties which stand in the way of
the attainment of the object which we
have in view by many considerations.
Two of these we think it right to state
at length.
An Intelligent Ballot Necessary.
First-We understand that the pur-
pose of the Australian election law is to
enable electors to cast their ballots for
the candidates of their choice with ac-
curacy and without interference. coer-
cion or intimidation. If there were no
positive provisions in the act requiring

The advantages of this arrangement.
on the score of lnJelligibility, over the
method decided OH by the secretary of
state, as has already been outlined and
is hereinafter illustrated, were so great
that unless there. were some legal diff
Guilty in the way, it would have been
expected that he would have adopted it
without criticism or dispute. But, on
the contrary, he positively refused to do
so. What reasons he had were not dis
closed, but presumably he was acting
under advice in the interest of some
body. and the somebody was not the
people Of Minnesota. The interests of
the people of Minnesota could be best
Subserved by course which would facil-
ltate the honest expression of their will
at the polls, and to mix up and confuse
the names of the electors on the ballot.
SO that the illiterate would be OBJ
str1cted III their desire to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket if they had any such de-
Sire, bore all the marks of d partisan
Republican trick.
There was no appeal from the secre-
tary OF state. acting as a Republican
partisan, to the seer etary of state acting
as an impartial and high-minded public
officer, because the present incumbent
is Incapable of assuring the latter role.
When he pronounced mis- ultimatum
the Democracy wassad no further effort
on him personally, and yielded without
debate. 1t did not intend to submit to
this injustice. however,. unless the law
plainly said that this vas its duty. In
order to determine w Wlether this was so
or not it applied through the chairman
and secretary Of the state CEN
tral committee to Charles E.

cratic club will turn out to honor the
intrepid and brilliant young leader VINO
has, with uudaunted heart and mag
nIficent courage, carried the inspiration
of the principles of Democracy to almost
every cross-road, hamlet, village, town
and city in Minresota.
Every prominent Democrat in Ram
sey county, and many from Hennepin.
Washington and the state at large, will
be present to participate in the joyous
occasion. which will completely evi-
dence the spirit of victory that abides in
the heart of every citizen who has the
welfare of his country in mind and
means to speak for the faith that is i'm
him by doing his level best, both bv
voice and vote. to insure the election of
the men who stand for Democratic
ideas on the national, state and county
tickets.
Gov. Lawler himself will address the
meeting. Hon. W. q, Ewing. one of the
most gifted orators of Illinois. will de-
liver message of hope and encourage
ment from his triumphant compatriots.
Henry George, the most distinguished
student and speaker on taxation in
America today. is to be present and
speak as he alone can on this vital issue,
Hon. c. d. O'Brien will also be to the
fore as one of the honored orators of
this memorable occasion.
Altogether the indications are aus
picious in the most liberal degree for
such an expression of the voice and
utter rout the already demoraliZed and
discouraged uphoiders of McKinleyism
and national treachery.
The time is ripe, and the spirit is
aroused to give our gallant young Demo-
cratic leader welcome home that will
not only be an outpouring of neighbors,
friends and admirers. but at the same
time a manifestation of the intention of
voters to eXalt principles above men,
to condemn trickery and disreputable
tactics. and to begin the emancipation
of Minnesota from the unholy shackies
of mOnOpolistS and combines bv the
election of Daniel w. Lawler to the
gubernatoriaI chair.
The numerous uniformed Democratic
clubs of the city have entered into the
spirit of the proposed ovation with zest
and determination. 1t is probable that
Minneapolis will send numerous dele
cation to participate In this greatest
political love feast that Minnesota has
ever witnessed. No detail will be neg
lected or overlooked. and preparations
will be made for several overflow meet
ings, as there is no hall in the city large
enough to come anywhere near
holding the multitudes who will
join in welcoming home from his tour
of triumph the man destined TO pass into
history as the first of line of economic
liberators that will bring into Minnesota
a renown the glory and extent of which
will be immeasurable..
Every voter and every citizen, Repub-
lican and Independent as well as Demo
crat, is given standing invitation to be
present at Market hall Oct. %.
1t will be an event the like of which
this state has never seen.

the secretary of state to duplicate on the
ballots the names of the four electors
who have been nominated at once by
the Peoples party and the Democracy,
or to group them together at the head
of the Peoples party list, we feel that it
would none the less be his duty to do
this. If the statute were entirely
silent as to this point, its
spirit and intent demand that
it be so interpreted as to assist rather
than to clog the voter in the exercise of
his right of suffrage. The method deter
mined on by the secretary of state
amounts to virtual gerrymander OF
the ticket. The citizen desiring TO vote
for the Republican electors, the Pronib
ition electors OR the Peoples party's
electors. will have no difficulty in find
ing the full number for him to indicate
in the legal manner. The citizen desir-
ing to vote for the Democratic electors
will find five electors only to be marked
by his pencil, and he will naturally iu-
fer unless he has been informed to the
contrary from some outside source,
that when he has voted for them he has
done all that is expected of him. Should
he have been informed from some out
side source that there are four
others somewhere else on the
ballot whom it is also neces-
sary for him to mark he will
have to search laboriously throughout
its entire length in order to locate them.
The Australian system, designed to ac-
complish important results for the
purity of elections, is at the best beset
with hardshlps for the inexperienced
and the uneducated, and no additional
burdens should be needlessly imposed
on him. The Democratic voter has a
rightto equal opportunities for the cor
voter Of any other political faith. :. An An

POLITICAL DRIFT.

Some of the Republican county commit

pressed the belief that the Pioneer Press was
preparing TO sacrifice Knute Nelson for the
sake of Davis. The many fusions which

good deal of anxiety for Davis. Many Re-
publicans are becoming alarmed, and among
these is the editor of the Pioneer Press il is

The Seventh Ward Democratic club
held an excellent meeting at the corner
of Dayton and Western avenues and
listened to very strong and entertain
ing speech from Hon. j. n. Castle, the
candidate for reelection to congress.
The club was unit in favor of nom-

that ward to oppose Mr.. Horton. Ear
nest speeches were made of that pur-
port by Messrs. Cutcheon, Howard
Smith, T. d. O'Brien and several
others. A resolution was introduced

who sign this statement, for an opinion
on the statute governing in the eX-
Igency ,and inquired whether the course
proposed to be followed by the secre-
tary of state was in accordance with its

lation of the statute, any method was
available through which a remedy
could be secured.
