NOTE AND COMMENT.

IN the Ninth ward, though it must be
confessed he is about the only person
who is interested. Yesterday he filed
suit for damages in criminal action
against Robert Hortenbach, who is ac-
cused of having circulated scandalous
stories concerning the doughty candi-
date for alderman. He is also charged
with being in the employ of AID Nc
Guire for no other purpose than to in
lure Patrick'S chances. The sui. is tor
$4,000 damages, and,of course, Patrick
Is confident of getting it.
Bernard Newman, the Populist cam
didate for alderman Of the Fourth ward,
runs saloon. Everybody knows that.
Tuesday night there was disgraceful
row in the saloon, and the police were
called in. And yet there are people
who say they will -Ote for Newman in
preference to Mart Whitcomb. the
Democratic nominee.
The Seventh ward continues to be
the place where hoodluInS run things.
At a Woodward meeting held Tuesday
night Aid. Nordeen stepped into the
hall, and was requested TO take seat
on the platform. He declined, and
row followed. Several hoodlums, with
curses loud and deep. attempted to as
sault the alderman, and, as whole, the
meeting was disorderly one.
Here are few of the reasons why
Aid. Loye should not be returned to the
council frcm the Fourth ward:
He has in every instance voted for
corporations and against the laboring
men.
Contrary to the city ordinances he has
contracts to perform work for the city
he does most of the harnesS-repairlng
and furnishes leather supplies to the
fire department.
He has allowed the principal street in
his ward-Nicollet avenue-to fall into
a state disgraceful and dangerous to
life and limb.
He opposed StrenuouSly Aid. Rand'S
labor resolution. relative to the number
of hours to constitute a days labor for
the city, and the price to be paid there
for.
He allowed his "henchmen" to pack
the primaries and browbeat the men
who were opposed to selecting dele
gates who would favor his renomina-
ton.
j. II. Wendell, of Wright county, CAN
didate for Judge of the district court,
was in the city yesterday. He stated
that the Democrats of his county were
gGing to support the Democratic
finEpt nd IN Iii
Democratic vote all the way
down the ticket. Mr.. Wendell is
one of the most popular men in Wright
county and is conceded to be brilliant
lawyer. Together With Messrs. Munro,
Brooks and Davenport he aids in
strengthening the judicial ticket, and
there is but little doubt he will be
elected. The same may be said of the
ether gentlemen. The ticket is popu-
lar one and will draw large percentage
Of Republican votes.
That the local Republican committee
is badly scared over the outlook for
Pratt is very much in evidence. The
canvass of the city demonstrated that
1hlan was big favOrite, and this show
ing no doubt had Il great deal to DO with
Sc much Republican money going into
subsidies.
So far as Nelson is concerned, the
Reed meeting at the Exposition build
Ing Wednesday night was fiat failure.
The mention of his name did not bring
out bit of enthusiasm; in fact, the au-
dience remained painfully silent during
the delivery of the eulogy on the Seam
dinavian governor. On the other hand,
Messrs. Fletcher and Washburn were
accorded hearty ovation.
The cartooning of Mr. Than by the
Republican papers has failed of its
purpose. III fact. the publishing OF
vile cartoons has reacted and created "a
sentiment in favor of the Democratic
candidate.
Tomorrow is registration day. Demo
