Hes our meat, - 1--WE have beaten him once
before, and can do it again. 1.-The same old
ticket, but weaker than before" were among
the expressions heard after the three princi-
pal candidates had been nominated in Market
hall
When the disgraceful fight over the liquor
plank was at its height in the Republican
convention many Democrats were among the
deeply interested spectators. They expressed
wonder that even such partisians as j. e.
Markham and L. T. Chamberlain should at
tempt to deceive anybody by their all too ap-
parent bluffs regarding ''the enforcement of
all laws The fact seems to be that the
high moral element is suspicious Of the de-
signs Of the party managers. They do not
forget how Wright deceived them, nor how
the city was turned over to be looted by
his favorite hangers on. Hence they went
into yesterdays convention determined to Sc
cure an absolute, unqualified pledge. This
they succeeded in doing momentarily, but
afterward they were boldly robbed Of their
victory. The result sealed the fate Of the
Doran ticket, as even Republicans admit,
and the Democracy was correspondingly
elated.
Everywhere one went the cry was, "Now,
give US Cullen and decent ticket otherwise,
and nothing can prevent It's election" Many
thoughtful Republicans indorsed this senu-

position he has, and every employe Of the
postal service who resides in St. Paul would
have voted for Castle, without regard to party.
1t is pretty safe to say that these voters will
have little or no consideration for the people
who defeated their favorite by an unholy COM
bine, which contemplates making George
Warren and his friends dispensers of public
patronage in return for giving Doran the
mayoralty nomination.
Numerous con Ssrences of Democrats will
be held in the different wards today to con-
slider the men named as possible candidates.
Close scrutiny is being instituted against
every possible candidate, and IL he is weak
questionable the fact will be demonstrated
before the convention meets tomorrow morn
ing. 1t is predicted that there will be more
voters and more enthusiasm at Market hall
tomorrow than has ever been seen at a city
convention in st. Paul.
The first and only certificate of nomina-
tion at the hands Of the convention held last
Tuesday at Market hall, was filed in the city
clerks Office yesterday by William Johnson,
who was nominated for the assembly. The
certificate was signed by the chairman and
the secretary Of the convention.
A committe Of the Young Mems Central
Democratic club will, it is understood, go be-
fore the convention tomorrow and ask that
F. F. Wilde be nominated for the assembly.
Eighth ward delegates to the Democratic
convention will meet at o'clock this after
