Now sway in wind their chalices,
So very golden fair,
And silver. too, by right Of dew
That comes with morning air.

Now sway in wind their chalices.
We think of sunbeams cleft.
Now straying here, for bright and clear
They're waving right and left,
The wild field buttercupsl
Now sway in wind their chalices.
Did they from rainbow fall
To offer gold in flower mold.
To seekers one and all,
Ovid field buttercups?
Now sway in wind their chalices,
With light as torches fame,
The shadows gray, their censors gay,
Make less, Olovely aim,
OF wild field huttercups!

ALDERMAN LAckEY Of the Eleventh

ALDERMAN LAcKEY Of the Eleventh
ward is a candidate for reelection. It
seems to us that there should be no
question as to his success. OF course
the Republicans have put up strong
man in the person of OK Aid. Phillips
against him, but withal Lackey will be
his own successor As we said before
there should be no question as to his
success. His record in the city council
should commend him to every voter in
his ward, without reference to party.
He Is young man Of excellent qualif-
cations for the place; strictly honest and
alive to all the requirements and respon-
sibilities of his position. To him more
than any other man in the city council
is due the good order that has marked
the government of the fire department
for several months past. He, above all
others, had the courage of his convic-
lions in pushing the investigation in
that department, and for that alone are
the people of this city under many obli-
cations to him. If our city council welg
composed of such fearless, and 1T the
same time as honest men as Ala. Lackey
has proven himself to be- the taxpayer
would have little to complain of.

He was appointed assistant county attor-
ney on January 1st, 1891, by Thos. u
O'Bris n, then county attorney, and was
elected to the office of county attorney
in November, 1892 He appointed as HE
assistant, S. J. Donnelly, his former law
partner. His record as 9 prosecutor is
one of the best in the history OF Ramsey
county, and he has no equal for his age
as criminal lawyer in the state. Per-
sonally he has q charming and agreeable
manner, is an eloquent speaker, and hle
integrity, ability and fearlessness has
made him what be is to-day, viz; one OF
the most popular young lawyers OF the

Mr. l.. r THAN, from present indi-
cation Will be the next mayor of Mime
aP5lis. During the past week large
number of prominent Republicans sig
nifed their intention of supporting him.
They say they cannot afford 10 expert
ment with an Office that means so much
to the business interests of Minneapolis
as that of mayor, and hence their
reasons Cor supporting Mr.. Than. They
like his style. He is clean, level
headed, broad-guaged man, who knows
what a city of this size requires to
make it prosperous and happy. He
does not propose to cater to any par
ticular faction; neither will he run the
city as laid down by the Republicans.
He will be mayor, and he will
give this city the best administration
it has ever had. Minneapolis is no
country town; it is city with grand
future before it unless fanaticism and
the like cripple it now. Will the people
who have interested their all in this
handsome city permit q few narrow.
minded ones to dwarf her prosperity?
We do not believe they will. The cleo
ton of Il. r.. Than means good times
and general prosperity here; his defeat
means harder times than ever expert

EDWARD j. DARRAGH candidate for

sition. Bright, ambitious and progressive,
his ability to fill the same is of such an
order as to commend him to all the
voters OF his district. He is nuent

aud althongh We believe there is no po-
;litical question involved in q local cleo
ton yet the very considerations which
lead us to that belief force as to urge the
candidacy OF these three mon. In every
consideration which should enter an cleo
tors mind in choosing his candidates
these men are superior to their opponents.
AS experienced officials, as business men,
az old time residents and property own
ers they deserve the support OF voters
irrespective of party. In speaking Tor
these men we feel perfectly safe for we
know that bat has been said cannot be
successfully denied. In large measure
what has been said applies to the other
candidates also, although not 80 we'll
known or as experienced.
As election day draws near the strength
of the city ticket becomes more manifest.
Here perhaps more thar in the county
contest the question OF policy is IN
volved. We believe the voters OF the
city are interested in having the affairs OF
the city run on business principles and
not after the fashion of Sunday school.
What ia asked for is the enforcement OF
the laws we have in practical way and
not a supercilious attempt to enforce an
impracticable puritan regime. Mr. Ih1an
is man built on broad enough guage
to enforce the laws in accordance with
the varied interests Of city, yet possess-
ing such a knowledge and respectfgr the
law that will Justify people in ensrusting
to him it's enforcement. The distinction
between the two candidates has been
we'll expressed in the phrases ''Thian
and city,'-"Pratt, and village" The
real situation could not be more aPtly
expressed than by these terse phrases.
The efforts row being made by the Dem
ocratic committee betoken an increasing
hope e. success and if continued are
bound to result in the election OF Than.
Democrats should and must do their
duty. Every reason which existed for
being Democrat in 1890 and 1892 still
exists and in addition we have the ad-
vantage of having exceptionally strong
candidates throughout the entire ticket.
Let us turn out as we did in 1888 and
1890 in this city and show the Republl-
CANS that Democrats win their battles
on election day at the polls and not in
August and September before the con-
ventions are held. They say it is Re-
publican year but we can win and are
going TO do 80. ollie. ...~

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20. 1894.
JUDGE John w. WILLIS.

For many years the state Of Minnesota
has been handicapped by supreme
court that would not be tolerated for a
minute in many states Of the Union.
During these years the good people OF
this state put up with this child of tyran-
ny OF their own creation until they could
bear it 20 longer, and SO they placed
Thomas CAVITY and Daniel Buck on the
supreme bench to see that the poor as
we'll ae the rich we're protected in their
rights. They found the experiment
worked we'll and now they propose to
again plant the banner of justice in the
enemy's camp, by placing side by side
with Judges CAVITY and Buck, Hon. John
w. Willis. Mr.. Willis has just crossed
the threshold Of his fortleth year, and
though young man for the place he
eeeks, is eminently we'll qualified 70 per
form it's duties He was born in ST.
Paul, where he is nowspracticing law,
and during his collegiate course won
many marks of distinction for his pro-
ficiency in law and other studies. He
has practiced law in st. Paul for the past
fifteen years, where he has built up en-
immense practice. MIR. Willis is Demo
crat of the old school, and though it
would be hard to find better or more
consistent one, the Populists in their
state convention nominated him for as
societe Judge OF the supreme court. 1t
was because of his excellent qualifica
tions for the bench that the Popu-
lists nominated him, and of course
the Democrats, knowing the many
battles for liberty and equal rights that
he participated in, gladly endorsed him.
MIR. Willis is scholarly, talented man,
an orator that has few equals, it any, in
the Northwest. A man Of large heart,
good nature, kindly disposition and ever
true to every trust reposed In hic.. What
better qualifications tor the bench could
any man bring with him than these? He
should receive the full Democratic vote,
and it he does he will be elected, and If
elected there will be man chosen to the
supreme bench that the monopo]ies of
this state cannot dictate to.

IT is with pleasure that we present to
our readers to-day short sketch Of the
next sheriff Of Hennepin county Alonzo
Phillips. Every one, who has watched
the official conduct Of the Democratic
nominee for sheriff, knows that no better
choice could have been made. He is q
man in whom the people OF this city and
county have the utmost confidence. A
few years ago he was elected alderman
from his ward, and, though q Democrat,
his Republican constituents say even at

Of the Democrats for the house from the

district. George was one ST the few
Democrats from H-nnepin county in the
last legislature, but lie was very active
one and succeeded in doing much good
work for hls sconstituents. Mr.. Blocker
ought to have the support of all the

clsnt reasons why he should receive the
votes Of every fair minded man in his

these schools, and because they cannot
compete with the zeal and faith fuinees
of Jesuits and nuns they send up 9 howl
to the effect that the government is IN
fair. The government Indian schools
are purely secular. No religion is sup
posed to be taught in them, but az 9
matter Of fact the teachers who ere al
most all Professionals, do what they can
to influence their pupils in favor OF their
respective denominations. The contract
schools are religious. For long time
the interior department has encouraged
religious bodies to cooperate in the edu-
cation of the Indians, and Catholic mis-
sionaries aided by the Drexel family
have established a large number OF
schools. The Professionals also built as
many schools as they could find money
to erect and teachers to man, but they
were outdone by the Catholics and henes
are mad and jealous.
There was $570,2l8 expended on con-
tract schools in 1891 and of this the
Catholics received s363549. AS to Mr.
Morgan's charge that the Jesuits teach
the Indians to hate the government it is
as groundless> ,his other charges. He
says that the Catholic catechism is
taught in Cover 1ment schools. On this
po;nt the R5v. Dorchester, superintend-
,ant Of Indian schools under Mr.. Morgan,
can be quoted. Although selected sor
the position because Of his hatred OF
Catholics he has this to say: II found
that the catechism was not taught in the
schools at all, either in or ont Of school
hours. The Sister Superior said, the
priest takes care of that. There Is the
chapel, and he attends to that. We are
in government school, [ did find that
when they came around the table they
asked the blessing, and I found that i1
opening the school exercises they ,Fe-
peated the Lords prayer" These are
the circumstances aud conditions which
Mr.. Morgan relies upcd to justify his
charges. A political party that has hon
ored such mar with a high office is not
entitled t9 the support of true Ameri-
cans. He says ''93 per cent of the Cath
olics are Democrats" Yes, aud We can
not understand why that other one per
cent are not Democrats.
