man who intends voting for him.
The Democratic mass meeting of Tues.
day evening brought out the largest au-
'dience ever assembled in st. Paul.
Mr.. John King, of Minneapolis, lately
from Claremont, visited during the week
with some old.time friends in this city.
Doran and Reardon will not speak as
they pass by after May 1st. Each will
hold the other responsible for his demise.
We'll may the Democratic city commit
tee exclaim of the p. P. editor.
Destroy his fb, his sophistry, in vain
The creature is at his dirty work again.
Stringer, Esq, has been appointed
United States District Attorney for this
state. Mr.. Stringer is an able man and
a good Democrat.
The best interests of st. Paul demand
the reelection Of Judge Twohy. His
record has been clean and honorable.
His ability is unquestioned.
James Shields, Esq, candidate for city
justice, is making the most gallant can
vass and his friends will not forget him
on election day. He will be elected.
The County Board of the A. O. q. held
special meeting Thursday evening and
made necessary arrangements tor the
coming state convention which will be
held in Cretin hall.
Sherman E. Day, the Republican can
didate for alderman in the Ninth ward,
has only been a resident of this city
about two years and of the ward only
some few months. He knows no more
about the needs of the ward than does
Madagascar native.
The Crusaders Dramatic company viii
present the popular comedy, "Our Boys"
at Cretin hall Monday evening. May 2lst.
Father Powers, who is an elocutionist OF
rare skill, has given much of his leisure
time to the company, and has succeeded
in developing remarkable strong cast
of char acters.
Walter Holcomb, L. L. B., A. P. A.,
divorce specialist and pretended lawyer,
has succeeded in sinking himself still
lower IN public opinion by his attempted
explanation of the Paul affair. Assum-
ing the explanation to be true we are
forced to the conclusion that Holcomo
was not only traitor to his own client
but an ignoramus as we'll.
The contentious and competition OF the
various opposing candidates are waxing
warmer as election draws near. Every
energy is bent to win the aurels by either
side. If public sentiment as cleaned from
the expressions of citizens goes for any
thing, it seems to be foregone conclu-
sion that the democr ATTIC ticket will carry
off the pennant.
1t is rumored that the A. P. A. contin-
gent of tho Republican party intends to
decapitate Tom Conroy, one of the can
didates for reelection as city justice.
Judge Conroy is square man, in fact the
best man on the Republican ticket, and
his friends ought not permit his being
slaughtered because of his creed and
nationality.
Let it not be forgotten that Reardon
seconded Doran's nomination; that he
supported him through the campaign;
that he said under certain circumstances
that he would gladly be an A. P. A; that
he carried his delegation in the Ninth
ward by the most disgraceful methods
ever practiced at primary; that his
election will be an approval of his course.
Harry Franklin, the Republican ex-
alderman from the Sixth ward, is on trial
charged with accepting bribs while q
member of the city c,uncil. The case
after close investigation by the grand
Jury resulted in his indictment. The
state is represented by Pierce Butler who
will handle it with his usual ability and
nothing will be left out that has direct
bearing on the case. This matter was
one-day sensation when it was first aired
in the press, and the public await the
j1rys verdict with expectancy.
The remains of the late Judge James
+. O'Brien, of Devils Lake, n. D., were
brought to st. Paul on Wednesday. The
funeral was held from the Cathedral on
Friday morning. Judge O'Brien at the
time of his death was United States Dis
trict Attorney for North Dakota. Mr..
.O'Brien was former resident Of this
city. His strength of character, large
ness Of heart and marked ability made
him prominent in every community in
which he resided. In his death North
Dakota loses one whose place it will be
difficult to Eli.
