AS to the office which Mr.. Ledgerwood
now holds it can be said with the utmost
honesty that never has it been conducted
with greater degree Of efficiency or lib:
erality. In connection with this Office
the state law does not stipulate the num-
Der Of assistants, the auditor shall EN-,
ploy, but simply designates the amount
of money which the county treasurer
shall annually allow for the expenses of
the auditors office. The balance remain
ing after the cost Of running the Office is
provided for is the salary Of the auditor.
There are men who would take advan-
tage OF a law Of this nature by curtailing
the force, but Mr.. Ledgerwood, with
an eye single to the best possible admin
istration of his duties as Auditor, and
satisfied that many hands make labor
light-that reasonably short hours Of SER

HON. MICHAEL, DORIAN.

The veteran Democrat to whose energy
and genius as an organizer is mainly due
the splendid organization ofthe Demo
cratic party in this state is Michael
Doran, formerly OF LIE Sueur, but now OF
ST. Paul. He has grown grey in the scr
vice Of the grand old party OF Jefferson
and jackson and has never sought any
reward except in the consciousness OF
doing good work in the interest OF his
fellow citizens. So conspicuous have
been his labors in this direction that he
has been appointed as the representative
of Minnesota on the National Democra-
tic Committee. He is born statesman
whose political acumen and experience
are of invaluable aid in wrestling the ma
tional and state governments from the
Shiny grasp of the Republican party.
As Grover Cleveland by his matchless
personality, his courage his wisdom, his
private and official integrity and his pure
patriotism, gave new life to the party Of
the nation, so has Michael Doran by the
same exalted qualities IN private and
public life been instrumental in bringing
victory within the grasp of the Demo
cracy of Minnesota. After serving his
Lie Sueur constituents in the state SEN
ate for several terms he established
reputation for official integrity and abll-
ity in the cause of the people as to make
his name household word throughout
the state. It was while serving in the
senate that Mr.. Doran was called to the
Democratic Central Committee, and it
was here he displayed those mastery
qualities of planning and organization
which subsequently elevated him to
position on the national committee. His
admirers in st. Paul, as a mark OF their
appreciation OF his services, have nomin~
ated Mr.. Doran to represent them in the
state senate. His district comprises the
TENTH and Eleventh wards Of the city,
together with the country towns in
Ramsey county. 1t was the highest
honor they could bestow in recognition
Of his services, and that he will be
elected by an Overwhelming majority is,
an assured fact.

Shortly after his arrival ia Minneapol-

Robert l.. Cox.

For Clerk Of the Court the Democratic
party has an excellent nominee in the
person of Robert L. Cox. Popular with
the masses he will prove a tower of
strength to the ticket. For eight years
he has been familiar figure to those
who have had occasion to do business at
the office OF the city engineer, and he
has held his position on the ground Of
competency, no matter which party was
in power. In his duties there he has
had occasion to meet as many of the cit
liens of Minneapolis as any OF the other
city officials, and they have always
found him the sams courteous, genial
and accommodating gentleman uader all
circumstances. Having a remarkable
faculty of remem boring names aud faces,
he probably knows more people in the
city than know him. His early years
were years of adversely, and whatever ne
is today he owes to his own efforts to
help himself along the roal of life.
Robert L.. Cox was born on Christmas
Day, 1852, at Alexandria, Va. A year
later, after the death of his father, the
family removed to Warrenton, Va, and
remained there until 1867, when they
went to Washington county, N. Y. After
a short time at school here he entered a
drug store and served an apprenticeship
