We regret 70 he unable to favor the can
didacy of the Hon. RICHARD A. WALSH for
Judge of the District Court OF the Second
Judicial district Of Ramsey county, Min
nesota. It is not without pain that we
separate ourselves from tho Hon. DICK
WALSH The Hon. DICK WALSH presents to
the voters Of Ramsey county, one Of the
most aesthetic Of American communities
circular so beautiful that 1t Is almost
impossible to resist t. II all darkness
in letters Of dying dark were cast upon
the whtest surface Of the whitest
heaven, the Hon. Dick wALsH's circular
would he blacker and whittier. II is
formed in those characters familiar to
persons that read the warrants for town
meetings, or the descriptions OF stolen
horses, or the reproofs to unlicensed dogs,
that YOU see in country Post Offices, or
staring at you from the hay scales. The
white Of the Hon. DICK WAIsH's circular is
rs white as his own pure soul, II not
winter. The blackness Of it is as black as the
fell Vaccinations of his foes. And still we
cannot support the Hon. Dick WALSH.
There are number of reasons for our de-
cision. For instance, we notice that the
"born in your midst" We deny It.
The Hon. DICK WALSH assures us in his
circular that 10 was educated at the public
schools of the Capitol city. Here again we
are Obliged to disagree with the Hon.
DICK. A person born rs he says he was
born, has never been educated anywhere.
The Hon. DICK affirms that he was in due
time admitted to- the bar. Not on an ex-
animation in the English language. ~
point with pardonabe PRIDE" says the Hon.
DICK. to my record during the last session
Of the Legislature, when | stood as q bull
wark around the hest interests Of the toiling
masses against the onslaught Of the hire
lings of corporate wealth and greed"
In pointing with pride Mr. WALSH
shows that he regards himself as
whole party and an entire platform,
like his more eminent fellow citizen, the
Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND. The Hon. DICK
WALSH mentions number Of bills, to each
Of which he gives the interesting title Of
House File whereby he has served the State
and deserved glory. Among these able
measures is bill to enclose the front of
street cars during the winter months, pre-
sumably for the purpose OF allowing grip
men and drivers to take sun baths; an
Eight-hour bill, whereby corporations and
other employers Of labor on public works
are obliged to pay an honest days pay for
days labor Of eight hours duration" The
Hon. DICK WALSH prepared and secured, in
very black and very large type, the passage of
a resolution to investigate into the unusu-
ally and abnormally high price of coal"
In type much larger, though not rs black,
It appears that "the existence OF the in
famous coal combine in our midst was ex-
posed" We condole sincerely with Ramsey
county. a community evidently laboring
under an incurable indigestion, with both
in its miserable midst. We give in his own
words the appeal Of the Hon. DICK WALSH
to the voters OF Ramsey county:
"Beng anilated with the Democratic party during
my political career, I sought nomination at their
hands at the Democratic Convention held in ST. Paul
the 2pth day OF September last but in
behalf OF the working classes OF this great
county and State during the last session Of the Iegs
lature the corporations In midst assembled In full
strength and fulfilled the threats made against me In
the immediate past, by having me rejected for ohers
of widely different political creed Think Of H. fel
low citizens, a Democratic Convention nominating
two well known Republicans as Democratic candi-
dates for the judiciary while myself OF long standing
Democratic Affiliations, spurned breathing
Infection the threshold Of corporate enmity.
because Of my devo on In the past TO the best inter
of the Of the county and State OF birth
and my love. Il is your battle that Is being fought
and you will be the beneciarles OF the victory that
must he
1t Is struggle OF the people against monopoly
and greed. Hold up the arms and strengthen the
hands Of him who Is fighting this battle for you.
III am defeated In this hght, II Is the triumph OF
the corporation over the people"
We regret to say that we think that the
interests of the people of Ramsey county
will he best served by the defeat of the Hon.
DICK WALSH. The first requisite that a
Judge should have is judgment. The Hon.
DICK WALSH has no Judgment except that
which every person of common sense, every
man who is not II Populist or some other
variety of idiot, will deliver against the Hon.
DICK WALSH as soon as he is presented at
the bar of justice.
