Another junior pioneer. who has received
deserved recognition is that popular young
Democrat, and the idol of our French
American citizens Of this county, Frank
Robert, Jr., who was nominated by accla-
nation for judge of probate, by both the
Democratic and Peoples Party conventions
Frank. he Is Familiarity known by
nearly every one, was born in St. Paul
April rs, 1858; received his education from
the local schools Of his native city; he at
tended course at the Terre Bonnie Col
lege. Montreal, Canada. He was first ap-
pointed clerk in the judge of probate office
when he was only 10 years Of age, and
on account Of his peculiar fitness, ability
and intimate knowledge Of the routine du-
ties of the office. he was retained as chief
clerk during all administrations of all
parties. from 1878 to March IS 1885,
Mr. Roberts rotund and Stan .Donnell' )

curing this campaign before the voters OF
Ramsey They are sometimes introduced
as the Thick and Thin" candidates. Stan
does most Of the talking" while Frank
does the thinking" They make good
team. and work well together. They viii
both run ahead of the tickets, and be elect
ed by handsome majorities.
One of the pleasant duties we are obliged
to perform in connection with the present
local campaign is the presentation of the
names Of our local candidates to the readers
of the ST. Paul column. Among the
young men who have risen to prominence
in their profession to eminent degree Is
young friend, Stanislaus j. Donnelly.
He was born at Nininger Dakota county,
Il {c
fore SO years old. Educated in the public
schools at Hastings, and ST. Johns College,
this state: was admitted to the bar in 1885.
and has practiced in the courts of this
state ever since Mr.. Donnelly is the son
of our old friend, Ignatius Donnelly, who
is known on two continents, and affection
ately called by his numerous friends The
Father Of the Peoples Party" 1t will be
seen that "Our STAN comes from no ''ob-
scure stock" and has acquired many of his
iliustrious fathers eminent attainments
His rapid and eminent success in his pro-
fession confirms this statement. He brings
to the office of county attorney peculiar and
intimate knowledge Of the requirements Of
this unpleasant office. having had two
years connection with the office assist
ant county attorney under Pierce Butler.
who is recognized as the ablest county at
torney that Ramsey county has ever had
Stan was considered so strong that he
had no opponents for the Nomination in the
Democratic party, and II he had and was
turned down by the Democrats he would be
unanimously nominated and elected by the
Populists. Stan was the bond Of flesh"
between the "Siamese Twins the Populist
and Democratic parties in Ramsey, and it
was out of consideration for STAINS" sue
cess that many of the obstacles were
cleared away. which finally resulted in the
fusion Of tho reform forces. Stan is con-
| ceded even by his opponents as having a
''cinch" on his election. by one Of the lar
gest majorit!es of any candidate on tho fu-
| sion ticket In Ramsey county.

Among the nominees who were lately
nominated at the dual conventions was our
young friend and neighbor Mr.. John Wag
ener. whom we have known ever since he
was a child. having played as boys together.
Mr.. Wagner was born in st. Paul III thu
year 1852 His father. John WAGNER.
was one of the early settlers of the city.
who was universally esteemed by all who
knew him. He was a man Of tireless en-
ergy, and by his indomitable pluck and
close application to business accumulated
fair fortune. He was known among his
friends as Honest John Wagner 1t
was from such stock that our young friend
sprung. and to those who know Mr.. John
Wagner, Jr., is is useless to say that he
is the worthy son of worthy father Hav-
ing succeeded to his fathers estate he has
shown more ability in the management OF
the same, and has at the present time
grocery and fuel business which he con-
ducts on strict business principles. He was
educated in the local schools of the city,
which. with the practical business training
he received from his father, it is safe to
say that he will bring to the office of sher-
if, to which he has been lately nominated
by two conventions (and will be surely
elected), a fund of practical knowledge
and useful Information that will peculiarly
fit him to carry on the Office Of sheriff of
this great county with honesty. and ability.
Mr. WAGNER is known among his German
friends as the grand young man." and is
universally popular. He has already filled
the position Of city treasurer with marked
ability. Mr.. Wagner is considered tower
of strength to the ticket. and will certainly
be elected by handsome majority.

Coroner E. II. Whitcomb is making
vigorous campaign and his friends are
confident that he will be successful as he
was In the two previous campaigns. The
third term cry against Whitcomb cannot
be used with the effect that the Repub-
leans would like. The only persons who
are making use of 1t against Whitcomb arc
the fellows who were turned down in the
Republican convention, and DR.. Nelson
himself, who thinks it good bit of cam
paign material. 1t seems to have been the
rule In Ramsey county that good coroner
should have several terms in office. DR..
Quinn was a coroner of the county for five
terms, because the voters believed that he
was the best man for the place. He was
elected term after term, because he was
popular with the voters of all parties. Then
came DR.. Whitcomb, a ST. Paul boy, whose
acquaintance is so wide that he has been
twice chosen to the office. Both times he
ran far ahead Of his party, and at the last
election he was one Of two Democrats who
survived the Republican landslide. DR..
Whitcomb is the of veteran and is
strong in social organizations. He is also
a member of the Sons of the American Rev.
olution, and has served eight years in Com
pany c, M. N. G. He is always the same
Ed Whitcomb. in out of office and a
man Of the people. His record in office has
been unequaled He Is withal the most
efficient coroner. AS a peace officer, as
we'll as a coroner, he has been of value to
the citizens of the county, and 1t be-
cause of his personal popularity, and the
fact that hundreds Of Republican voters
have assured him of theiy support this year,
that he consented to run for a third term.

Some Words to the Farmer.

eff there is any Republican farmer hero
who feels when he sells his oats for 10 cents

them, all he has got to do is to vote the
Republican ticket and keep gold going up,
and after a while he will not be troubled
with receiving more than cents. CAP.

oats cents will buy bushel when you
make money twice dear 1t Is now,
and If the time comes when a man does not
want to be annoyed with spending much
as cents as the proceeds of the sale of a
bushel of oats, he can keep on voting the
little that it will not trouble him at all.

"Our opponents say that If all you sell
goes down the price Of what you buy also
goes down, and that, therefore, it does not
make any difference to you. But those
who argue that way forget that there are
some things which do not go down. Have
your taxes fallen In the last 20 years? Cries
Of No, no } Aud Jet 1t requires as much.
substantially SO, of the products Of the
farm to pay the same amount Of taxes as
1t did 20 years ago. (Applause) Your
Gebts have not gone down. and even your
railroad rates da not go down in proportion
as your ability to pay railroad rates has
gone down. You ask railroads to reduce
their rates and they tell you that they have
certain fixed charges. that they owe. and
that they cannot reduce rates. You owe
debts, and you cannot reduce interest. You
owe money, and they want dollars in pay
ment of those debts. although 1t may be
twice as hard to get those dollars as it used
to be. (Applause.)
PROPOSITIONS FOR REPUBLICANS.
eff there are any Republicans in this aud
ositon. II our big Democrats who have

willing to leave the party in order to adj

the Republican who ignores the welfare Of
his family and his neighbors and his coun-

his judgment leads him to believe is right,
contrary to his conscience. in order to
prove fealty to his party. when these Demo-

J. August Nilsson, our candidate for coun-
ty treasurer was born in Sweden in 1858:
came to st. Paul in 1881; was educated In
his native land. He served in the legisla-
ture during the season of 1891, and again
In 1893. He served also as custodian of the
court house during the years Of 1SS4-5 1t
was considered good political move by the
local managers. who considered that Mr..
Nilsson would bring substantial support to
the ticket. His friends predict a big ma
jority for him.
Judge James Eagan, for many years
judge of the district court of Ramsey
county. was nominated by his silver Re-
publican Democratic and Populst friends
1t does not need any eulogy from us to
Recommend this upright man to the con-
sideration of the voters of Ramsey county
His long and honorable career in public
life has made him familiar figure before
the citizens of this county for the past
quarter of a century.
His genial and friendly nature has made
him many friends, who are hustling with
v1Sor to secure his election. 1t is safe to
presume that Judge Egan will win out with
one of his old time ma orities.
