TOUGH ON DAVIS.
Two OF His Meetings Fall Thru~g h
for Want OF Crowd

Two OF His Meetings Fall Thro~ gh
for Want OF Crowd
Here is something more than straw
which tells how the wind is blowing.
Senator G. X. Davis was booked to
speak in the Fifth and in the Second
wards Wednesday evening. He went
to his appointment in the Fifth ward
and found an audience of ali even
dozen. He declined to make speech
to so small an audience. lie went 10 his
appointment in the Second ward and
found three half-breeds and two or
THREE white men assembled. lie de-
clined to talk to them.
The Pioneer Press kindly refrained
from saying anything about either
meeting.
The friends of Senator Davis are nat
uralIy looking for some way of explain
ing the matter. And, of course. they
lay it on the county committee. They
say that the county committee failed to
advertise his meetings. And they say
more than that They charge that the
county committee is trying to kill h S
case. The committee, they say, Is as
sorting that Davis is getting too much
attention.
1T is safe to say that Senator DAVIS
goose is cooked; and that every MEM
Der of that county committee will retire
to the shades Of obscurity after this
election is over.

DEMOCRATS SATISFIED,
And Republicans Profess to Be,
With the Registration.

The increase in the registration of st.
Paul is far from being up to the eXpec-
tations of the Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis, in view of the suicidal policy of
the city administration, were prepared
for the result. But there is still worse
disappointment in store for the Repub-
licans. They will find when the votes
are counted that tremendous marjors
ity of those who registered were Demo-
Gratis. This will be due to two reasons.
First, the spirit OF Democracy is in
the air. The Republican party is
knocked down with its own club. 1t is
in the mouths of everybody that two
wears ago Gov. Merriam was elected on
a tariff reform platform, and now the
same party is seeking the election of
Nelson and its presidential candidate
on Mckinley bill platforms. No amount
of Republican talk has convinced the
people that the Republican party is
sincere and that it exists for any pur-
pose but to get the offices and remain in
power. III
The other reason is. that the Demo-,
cratic committee was a live body and
secured the registration of its voters
while the Republican county committee
made no eXertions in that direction to.
speak of. The Democratic committee
Wednesday had suDcommitteeS in every
ward leading Democrats to the places of
registration, while nobody performed
like service for the Republicans. The
secretary of the Democratic comm ittee
SAYS:
Il think we have secured pretty much
the strength of our party. 1t is true
that the two most portant Republican
wards show a material increase over the
spring registration. Butin the Seventh
ward, where the increase is 295, it is
largely due to the fact that people have
moved from other wards to the hill, and
that the most of the people whe came to
st, Paul since spring have settled in
that ward. In the First ward, where
there is all increase OF 232. there is
Niger in the woodpile, and we propose
to smoke him out. There is no increase
in that ward to speak Of and we know
it.. There is no reason why there should
be. There is no natural cause for one

SOMETHING DEFINITE.
The Supplemental Transfer Rail-
way Ordinance Is
Passed.
At Least Fifty Miles to Be Com
pleted by Dec. 4,
1894.

The amended supplemental ordinance
to the ordinance granting a right of
way to the Fifth Ward Transfer Rail-
way company along the levee from Duke
street to point 800 feet east Of Market
street, was passed by both board of
aldermen and assembly at special meet
ings yesterday afternoon. The supple
mental ordinance was proposed by MIR.
Lightner, and was passed by the as
sembly. 1t was sent to committee when
it reached the board. In the meantime
the mayor was making thor
ough investigation of the original
ordinance, which had such a mys-
ferrous ami uncertain career. He pro-
posed an amendment to the supple
mental ord nance TO fully protect the
interests Of the city, and to prevent the
franchise being used merely for specu-
lative purposes. He wished evidence
that new railway system was to come
to ST. Paul. or if it was to come. that it
would be connected with the proposed
road on the leyee. The company very
promptly accepted the conditions, and
fifty miles of new road must be built
before Dec. 1, 1894, or the franchise will
revert.
AT the meeting Of the aldermanic
committee on streets yesterday mOrn
ing, the franchise was fully discussed.
There was some opposition TO granting
q strip fifty feet in width and thirty was
considered sufficient. but after the whole
matter had been thoroughly gone over
it was decided to let matters stand and
pass the amended supplemental ordi-
nance. The developments of the past
few days have been Of decided interest,
and show what a watchful care is being
exercised over municipal affairs by the
chief executive.
The vital points in the supplemental
ordinance as amended are as follows:
1.-The city of st. Paul hereby reserves
the right at any and all times to extend
or open across said strip, i'll such man
her and at such places as the common
council OF said city MAY deem advisable,
any street. sewer, sidewalk, bridge, cul-
vert or other similar public improve

SECOND Ward Democrats.

The Second Ward Democratic club
held rousing meeting Wednesday
night at Lucker's hall. j. j. McCatferty
was the principal speaker. The judge
was in a happy mood, and gave one Of
the most interesting speeches of the
campaign. He told of the magnificent
tour throughout the state OF our gallant
Lawler, the like of which the political
history of Minnesota cannot furnish.
The speaker paid glowing tribute to
the sterling worth and solid honesty of
the candidate for the legislature, and
predicted the election OF Hon. p. III.
Kelly. The club passed resolutions of
coincidence with and sympathy for the
families of p. I'll. Kelly and z. Kelly,

is elected to the legislature. He stated
that he had known the young man from
boyhood, and knows he is deserving Of
the Office. His father fell at the side of
the speaker when lieutenant under
him at the fight with the Indians at
New Ulm.
Short speeches were also made by
Pierce Butler and James II. Burns.
There were calls for E.. &. Ives and
within half hour OF midnight, Louis
Stern proposed to close the meeting
with three CHEERS for the whole Demo
cratic ticket These were given with
vim and repeated over and over again.
and thus closed meeting that was the
most enthusiastic ever held in the city.

The Republican county committee
held an executive session yesterday
afternoon to make final disposition of
the case of the member who has been
at lrendale trading Republican
candidates tor votes for Kiefer.
The members of the committee
give it out that everything
has been adjusted satisfactorily, and
The fact is that everything is lost, and
they know it; SO they don't propose to

BEFORE AND AFTER.

The Peoples Party Espoused the Cause
of Labor Before All Other Parties.
At Cincinnati more than year ago;
at St Louis last February; at Omaha
July 4th, the peoples party stated the
which need remedying:
'The urban workmen are denied the
right of organization for self-protection;
imported pauperized labor beats down
their wages; hireling standing army,
Nprecognized by our laws, is esta blished
10 Shoot them down; and they are rap
idly degenerating into European condi-
TONS"
At the very time when the Home
stead trouble was brewing the peoples
party at the great Omaha convention
reiterated the above calamity howl"
for the third time within fifteen months.
And yet there are not half dozen
prominent papers in the United States
but what have ridiculed the suggestion
of troublesome conditions. They have
declared that all such intimations were
baseless, and that they animated only
from crack-brain reformers, whom they
denounce as calamity howlers.'
The declarations of the peoples party
platform for the last year have been
emphasized by the blood and wounds of
more than one hundred men.
Is it not time for people to stop and
listen? Is there not something to howl
= about? Is it not time to look the situa-
ton square in the face?
And in making up their verdict people
should remember that the declarations
of the peoples party were made before
the tragic events at Homestead and not
after, as have been some of the utter
ances of alleged Chicago

A Change of Front.

1.-The most notable change in policy of
the republican press of late is in its at.
titude toward the strikers in Home
stead, Pa. Up to this time almost
without exception the papers of pro
lection and plutocracy have challenged
the cause of the capitalists and Pink
ertons. Whitelaw Reid, the nominee
for the second place on the republican
ticket, some years ago advised that the
strikers be shot down like dogs Strange
indeed is the change and not so strange
either when we come to think of it.
The laboring men are beginning to
make themselves. felt, and the repub'
lican press has found it out. Until
very recently 1.-The sacred rights OF
property was the only right that
was considered worth looking after
or caring for. Organized labor has
learned the people differently. A Ia
borer's life was not considered as
amounting to much, but his vote was
worth as much as that of any one else.
The republicans have been driven to
take their present stand; had it not
have been the columns would to-day be
bristling as of old with all sorts of de-
nunciations of the men who would dare
to raise feeble hand against their lord
and master. -Hutchinson (Kans) ALI

CONVICT LABOR.

The Peoples Party Solves a Worthy Prob
lem In the Interest of Justice and Hon
est Labor.
A plank in the Missouri state plat
form of the peoples party reads thus:
We favor the construction Of system Of
good public roads by the state, and the utiliza.
tion of the convict labor of the state in pre-
pairing material for and in the construction OF
such roads
And the county platform of Pettis
county, Mo-, says:
We favor the apportionment of and the en-
ployment by the several counties of the state
convicts to build and improve our public roads
Because, first. it will withdraw convict labor
from competition with honest labor; and Sec
ond, because the benefits to the public of con-
vict labor will be. immensely great than from
any other system that could be devised.
The Illinois state platform has this
plank:
Wedemand that all convicts in this state here
after be employed in the winter months in pre-
pairing material for, and in the summer months
in making, permanent roads and other state i'm
provements.
Commenting upon the plank in the
Illinois platform, the Chicago Post says:
cat least one plank in the platform
adopted at the state convention of tbs
so-called peoples party in Danville will
command the respect of all good citi-
zens. 1t relates to. the employment of
convict labor. The peoples party is not
without reason in accusing the two
dominant parties of gross and un-
patriotic negligence of the subject of
prison labor. AS the matter now
stands return to the odious old con-
tract system is precluded by consti-
tutional amendment. The existing
contracts are expiring and the state.
must soon assume the problem, the last
legislature having lodged it in coward
ly wise. Since enforced idleness is
thing too horrible to be considered at
all, and since the state must, therefore,
furnish employment of some kind to
convicts, the question seems to resolve
itself into choice between the appli-
cation of convict labor to public works
and return to the familiar and there
fore odious system of labor on state &C
count. We venture that once the sug-
gestion of the peoples party was
adopted there would be no further
trouble with the convict labor question
and the scandal of our public roads
would become a gradually vanishing
quantity"

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

The Initiative and Referendum the Rom
edy For Corrupt Liquidation.
In reviewing pamphlet lately issued
by the Twentieth Century explaining
direct legislation through citizenship
as it prevails in Switzerland, the San
Francisco Peoples Press thus briefly
describes what is termed the initiative
and referendum:
''It is opportune that attention be
called at this time to this subject Such
action is directly in line with the
spirit of the peoples party platform,
and it is in conformity with the sugges-
ton contained in a resolution unan-
imously adopted by the Omaha conven-
