Avoided Meeting People.
Dillon came to the International hotel
Oct. 9. He seemed to avoid the society
of the other guests. and had little to
say to the hotel people. He OCCASION
ally patronized the bar, and one night
entered the hotel somewhat the worse
for drink and asked TO be shown to his
room. He complained early Tuesday
morning of not feeling and sent for
picture Of water. Seven suits of stylish
clothes,a plentiful assortment of under-
wear anda silver watch constituted his
effects. Only So cents IN money were
found. Dillon was telegraph operator.

acquainted with George Somers, the
general freight agent of the Great
Northern road. Mr.. Snmers knew
Dillon when he Dillon; was woi king
for the Great Northwest Telegraph
company III Toronto, Canada, some
years ago. Mr.. S0mers says that Dillon
called to see him last Monday night, and
asked il he (Somers) would
Help kim to Secure Work.
Mr.. Somers said that he would. Mr..
Dillon, so bfr. Somers says, told him
that he (Dillon) was under the influence

POLISH INDEPENDENTS.
GOOD MEETING AT OSHW AIDS
OUT ON DALE STREET.
Republicans Failed to Show Up.
and the Democrats Caught
the Crowd.

At Oshwald's garden out on Dale
meeting held last evening, but before
the meeting closed it looked more like
Democratic gathering, and an enthusi-
astic one at that. The club is indie
pendent, but great spirit of HDerality
and fairness gave free sway to all
spe akers and candidates who desired to
address them. The only Republican
speaker who had the courage to come
before the club and address them was
Candidate Ozmun. who desires to rep.
resent the Seventh and Eighth wards
in the Minnesota legislature. After he
had addressed the club for some time
several of the Democratic candidates
made social call, and after taking
seats were invited to address the meet
ing.
The first speaker called for was Will
lam Koch, the candidate for register of
deeds, and he asked for the sutfrages of
the club for himself and the balance of
the ticket. He said he was a working
man and not politician, but hoped the
voters would accord him the same
treatment at the polls that the conven-
ton had given him. He went over the
record of his opponent while i'll the
council, and showed how he had voted
against the three-cent cable ordinance
and several other measures for the
benefit of the laboring man. and had
always voted with the money power
and against the interests of the work.
ingman.
Sheriff Miesen was then called for,
and received hearty reception. He
stated that as the CLUB was Independent
he wished that they would choose the
best man, and hoped that their choice
would fall OH him.
Auditor Kahn was then called for,
and gave brief review of the measures
he had introduced in the council while
he was member in favor of the labor
ing mau. He was the father of the
three-cent cable ordinance. the $l.50 a
day law and the making of eight hours
aday's work for the city employees. The
Polish labOrers present seemed to ap-
preciate the work of Mr.. Kahn while in
the council.
Capt. OCOnnor was then called for,
and said that while this was an indie.
pendent meeting he hoped that the Wis
itors we're not intruding. If it were a
Republican meeting he would not have
thought Of coming i'll. but as it was an
independent meeting he lauded the
spirit of fairness shown in giving
the Democratic candidates an OPP
pOrtunity to express their views.
He was not a candidate himself, but
could vouch for the sterling quality of
the candidates who had spoken, as well
as the rest of the ticket. He then took
I'D the county ticket, and. after gen.
eral review. touched briefly on national
topics, which seemed to carry the aud
fence with him. Taken all together, it
was good independent meeting. and
wound up with decided leaning tow
srus Democracy. ~.

Wan Meeting.
The obtrusive acquiesence of young
Ole Svensdrup. who. being recent i'm
migrant, ought to be more readily de-
ceived byaRepublican sophistries, effec-
tually spoiled w. L. Chapin's address
last evening to group of Scandinavia
ans. at the corner of Edgerton and De-
catur. Owing to the failure of Repub-
lican organization among the numerous
Intelligent Scandinavians in the First
ward, the curiosity-seekers passing in
and out of the hall were christened pro

ton placing Samuel E. Hall, the
Democratic nominee. on the ticket as
an Independent. This was done by men
who did not approve Of the methods at
the Republican primaries. and has
caused howl to go up among those
who claim this year, as they did two
years ago, that a certain element should
have the sole right tn name the repre-
sentative. and that none others. not
even thu Democrats, should oppose
them. Mr.. Hall IS a bright man, and
the outlook for his election is very

ST. PAUL, Oct. 17.-Editor of the
GLOBE: You publish my name in this
mornings issue us candidate for
district judge. / am not. During a
months absence from the city the Pro-
hibitiOn party nominated me for that
office without my knowledge or consent.
Before leaving l united with the maj.
orlty OF the bar III a request to all
parties to nominate Judges Brill and
Kelly. l heartily approve OF their
nomination, and for that reason could
not accept. lnmy Judgment. it would
have been creditable to the Prohibition
party to have nominated Judges Brill
and Kelly. Yours respectfully,
DANIEL W. DoTY.
To the Editor of the Globe: In this
mornings edition of that great friend of
the poor workingman. the Pioneer
Press, is au editorial which disposes
in short order Of the single tax
waste waste of time us'0 to pI poinp out IT, the
tricks with words" by which it
attempts TO prove that the workingman
and farmer would be the victims of the
change in the system of taxation which
it pretends to discuss, but it might be
pointed out that the theory" has its
most enthusiastic supporters among the
very people whom the Z. P. says it will
injure.
The last portion of the editorial is
about the stupidest thing the P. p. has
lately published. 1t runs about as fol-
lows: What is tho opinion of the
workiugman and farmer of the two
parties, with the one or the other of
which. i'll every community, the single
takers affiliate. and through which they
hope tc compass their end?"
Or whom are both the Democratic and
Populist parties almost wholly conf
posed but workingmen and farmers?
PleaSe give US another one, dear P. p?
But this is not my principal OBJECT in
writing this letter. 1t is to ask: Why is
it that men of MIR. Georges and MIR.
Johnson's national reputation are visit
ing tine neighboring city, and no oppor-
tunity is being given to US in st. Paul
to hear them?
- 1t seems to me that it should be the
duty Of some campaign committee to
attend to this.
So far as know, we have had very
slight opportunity to hear Mr.. Darragh
give his views upon national questions.
Gould we not have a debate between
Mr.. Kiefer and him? l feel sure that
there are good many others who would
like to lie informed upon these points.
Yours truly, "a SINGLE TAXER."
