dependent Democracy, was asked yes
terday what the independents would
do, now that Orlan o. Cullen has alb
solutely refused to be considered a.
candidate.
81 cannot say, positively" replied
Mr.. Townley. 'tSome of our men are
out of town at present. but I expect
we shall hold a meeting within few
days to consider what action is neces-
sary under the circumstances"
Under existing conditions, who do
you regard as the most available man
to make the race?"
81. ]. Parker His record is good,
and it can be shown that he Is re-
ally the originator of whatever has
been accomplished in the line Of real
reform in st. Paul. With a united
and earnest party behind him, Mr..
Parker can, I believe be elected"
"Will you go into the convention as
delegate, Mr. Townley?'
Il do not expect to, but I sincerely
hope there will be enough sensible men
in 1t to not only nominate a good
ticket, but to frame a platform that
shall be short, succinct and unmistak-
able in its terms. If this is done, and
the candidates are men of character
and ability, there is no reason why the
Democracy should not be triumphant
in the approaching campaign"
w. r. Johnson's energetic canvass
for the Republican nomination for
city treasurer is making trouble among
the German. Republicans. They fear
that the Eighth ward manipulation is
going to carry the caucuses, and thus
preclude all possibility of German
being given a principal place on the
ticket. 1t will be an American for
mayor whichever of the candidates
named is nominated, they say. No
Republican will dare contest McCar-
dy's sovereignty over the office of
comptroller; and if Johnson defeats
Charley Horst, the Germans will be out
of it. One. Of Iohnson's friends sug-
gested yesterday that some bright
young German might be promised the
influential. berth. of private secretary
to the mayor, on the chance of a pos
sible victory. sf'

The Doran sentiment is being strengthened.
apparently, by the Dispatch attacks on his
LONELINESS and his blunt ways.
Capt. Castles friends are earnestly at work
now trying to lay foundation for him as
second, choice. of the delegations already
pledged to ,Doran, ..er .Warren. The post
masters name was sprung so late that about
every ward had been pre- -empted, but his ad-
vocates have found that there is bound to he
bitter fight in the Republican city conyen
ton. This, it is said, will be accentuated
by the Johnson-Horst contest, and the
mayoralty nomination Is not unlikely to
hinge on the settlement of this fight. AS
castle mas not been making any effort hereto
fore he has not become entangled with
either side Of the fight for treasurer and his
Irlends are building high hopes on this fact.
L. D. Wilkes was approached Yesterday
and asked if he would accept the Democratic
nomination for mayor If rendered to him.
The mafnstay of the Equitable laughed in
his hearty way before he answered. Then
he said:~
My dear boy. any man would be proud
TO be mayor OF this elegant city, especially
at time when we will entertain SO many
thousands Of veterans and other people from
all over the nation. II 1 we're foot loose T
would be delighted to serve as mayor. but
my business is such that my candidacy Is
simply not to be thought off,
Nevertheless Mr.. Wilkes name continues
to be discussed by Democrats of high and
low degree.

OF William Mckinley. He urged that. as
the Hebrews had come from countries that
the Mckinley tariff Disseminated against most
harshly, they should join in electing a Re-
publican administration in st. Paul Out
SIDE OF some further illusions to the alleged
criminalities of the Democratic city admin
istration, which he did not specify, Mr., Doran
confined himself to urging the election of all
the Republican city ticket after it is nomi-
mated.
C. S. Schurman was called out and pro-
ceeded to eulogize Mr.. Doran as the candidate
of the Sixth ward. He believed him to be as
able as any man in st. Paul to discharge the
duties of the mayors, Office, and felt that his
nomination is assured when the convention
meets.
c. Coiledge was introduced as "the next
alderman from the Sixth ward" He mod
estly disclaimed the title, but went on to say
that if he ever held Office the Hebrews would
be properly cared for. He said that in every
city where Republicans rule, the children on
the street are not allowed to call Hebrews
names or maltreat them in any way, and
predicted that the same ideal state of things
will prevail If Mr.. Doran and Republican
council are elected in St. Paul. Mr.. Colledge
made himself real popular by the liberal use
of blarney.
A speech in the Jewish language wound I'D
the meeting, and small boy pounded on an
Unstrung drum while the audience gathered
about Mr.. Doran to help him on with his

The G 10 e's announcement that the Lin
coin club will demand several of the best
places in the city government in the event of
Republican success created a great deal of
jealous talk among Republicans who are not
